    I'd put money on Mitch having a shot to win this! Ofc we don't know the song but he's got quite the full package, a brilliant voice, stage presence and something a bit different (he mixes contemporary music with the Aboriginal language). When Eurofans shit themselves over Electric Fields as much as they did (or was that just my timeline, it was legit ALL I heard and they all hated Kate MH bc of her winning and not them), just wait til they see Mitch :lol:

    It's gonna have to be late tonight, maybe even tomorrow daytime sorry! I'm working til 11 again and have stuff to do before, I am absolutely shattered so may just go straight to bed tonight, but then it is just a case of collating the links and making the post, we'll see.

    My Butterfree had an excellent moveset, it also had the Gigantamax Logo in its info page. Outside of that, I'm not really sure what value it brings or why people would hunt for it. But if you're a Butterfree fan I guess go for it? I guess the intent is to get people excited about stronger versions of Pokemon they like?

    Maybe they need to do a better job of informing us what the raids are, Ala Pokemon GO. But maybe they already do this and I haven't been paying attention lol

    Nah you haven't missed anything, well that or I did too :lol: They just kind of appear and you figure it out, which is odd given how much they signpost quite a lot and lead us to things in this game. I'm surprised we don't have to do a Raid with Hop :lol:

    I'm surprised at Caitlyn too! Idk what I expected as such, but I actually quite like her after this premiere! Idk if that will continue, I agree she could easily get really annoying but given how much I disliked everything I heard about her before, she made a good first impression. Nadine and Jacqueline are my faves but I don't dislike anyone yet, although Kate has potential there. There doesn't seem to be a dominant standout character, I hope everyone getting a good chance at airtime continues as this was really balanced.

     

     

    Also my god James Haskell can rip me in half, DADDY

    Yeah it was definitely really bad timing for her to do it, in a way it was perfect for Blackpool and I know that she wouldn't have changed a thing as it meant so much to her and the community she loves so much, but of course Blackpool week is where everyone steps it up and the judges are being so much more generous, so it's really not the week to take a risk with something that just won't be understood or stand out as much.

     

    It's just a shame it had to happen this way, because at her best she is so so capable and this is definitely too early to lose her.

    I had no trouble with Opal's Togekiss, but then I did have Coalossal with Rock moves and Copperajah with Heavy Slam :lol: The latter can decimate basically anything with that due to its weight but it's slow with meh defences so doesn't always get there.

     

    Does anyone have any good resources on this Raid nonsense? I wanted to kill an hour and caught that Gigantamax Butterfree. I don't really know what that means. I don't really want a Butterfree on my team lol.

    Also, I caught the Galarian Corsola in one of the raids, but couldn't help noticing the raid beam was a different color (?)

    I think the purple-y coloured ones are higher level, and they're harder so the rewards are greater. I assume the Pokemon are a higher level and have higher stat increases maybe?

     

    Also Gigantamax changes appearance as well as size and I think the stat increase is greater, it's more like a Mega especially because only certain Pokemon can do it, but you have to catch a "special" one of the species to be able to do it, for example you have to have the Butterfree from that raid, you can't just catch any Butterfree and do it. Whereas obviously anything can Dynamax in the "power area" things. Idk I don't really get them, or see the point, it's fun in the gyms to set apart the challenge and the gym leader's ace, but I keep one-hitting them when I Dynamax too which defeats the purpose :lol:

     

    I'd kind of prefer if we couldn't use Dynamax and it was something to make the gym leaders harder, something they earn the right to use as gym leaders and maybe we get to use it when we beat them all or when we win the league.

    Is that sword? Gym 4 was awful on Shield too, cba with the controls for the spinning cups :drama: Not hard but just annoying.

     

    I do like that the gyms have puzzles though, none have been hard or anything but it changes it up a bit. I really liked the Ice gym one, that was something you had to think about a bit.

    2.5m is indeed lower than that series of CBB, that had a series average of 2.8m with a lot of episodes being the high range of 2m or low 3m. I'm the same Troy I'm normally not fussed about ratings but you can't deny when it gets this bad!!

    It's out of habit more that I watch it, and the fact that it's usually on after Strictly when I've got the telly on anyway so I just carry on because there's not really anything else on :lol: And part of me wants to keep going just to see how bad it gets in a way.

     

    I think next week it's gonna clash with Strictly more so I'm A Celeb doesn't come on at gone 10 and I shan't bother then. The final clashes for an hour too so actually I think it might go sub 2 million (maybe not with its peak after Strictly but still).

    Idk, maybe the cynic in me is coming out but... why do I feel that Vinnie saying he wanted to go all staged and to get sympathy from viewers? Lol. Like, they'll think "aww it's not his fault. What a lovely chap/geezer" etc.. putting him in line for stronger support next week? Why doesn't he just throw a curveball and quit? I'd personally respect him far more if he did that.

    Very true! Ngl you're probably right, because legit who is stopping him from going if he really does want to? I saw a few people like "aw I feel sorry for him he doesn't want to be there" but he's a grown man who can just leave if he hates it that much. He could have protested or just walked off and refused to stay. If it was me, I'd feel awful that I was still there when I didn't want the record contract etc., seeing so many talented people who want it so badly go.

     

    Sad thing I think it'll work, he's gonna get the rebound vote to the final and even if by some miracle he does go, I bet he gets the wildcard thing Simon randomly added in when No Love Lost went :lol:

    I found the Ice gym (in Shield, I think you get Rock instead in Sword) just now quite challenging! Granted it was because I tried to refrain from using Copperajah's Heavy Steel or Coalossal (although admittedly the fact that only has Incinerate as a Fire move rn isn't the best) which would have been easier, but she seemed to keep having a counter for those anyway :lol: Actually quite a balanced team you had to think about, some of the gyms here feel like you can just spam their weakness.

     

    The Exp Share is becoming more of an issue now, Cursola and Rillaboom are storming ahead a bit to the point where I'm thinking I'm gonna have to box them to halt them and stop them being overlevelled, but I don't want to do that because if I come across something they can counter and I can't use them it's gonna be a bit shit. It's really frustrating they didn't even program in something to switch off the Exp Share to prevent that! On the other hand Copperajah is lagging behind, it's slow and can't take a super effective hit well (and there seems to be tonnes of fighting, fire and ground moves out of nowhere any time I try to use it lmao) so I might have to switch it out but idk what for

    Agreed on the hand-holding too, I didn't find it too bad at the start considering SM/USUM was similar for pretty much the first island but it just doesn't stop through all of what I've played so far (about to do the 6th gym). I'm still enjoying it but it'd be great if it could just cool it on Hop or Sonia or whoever you happen to speak to just before an event always telling you where to go! It's linear enough that you'd easily figure it out, especially with Team Yell always blocking you until you do the gym.

     

    It also feels like there's not enough content between gyms, I'd love a more fleshed out story or some side missions with Team Yell actually doing something and causing a bit more trouble than just blocking you from leaving a town until you've done the gym :lol: Like look at Team Galactic threatening the entire universe, Team Aqua and Magma trying to destroy the world via extreme weather, and look at "we want to slightly get in your way because we want Marnie to win the gym challenge"....

     

    Don't get me wrong I am enjoying it, but I think I'm getting to the point of the game where I can see the unfinished comments are coming from. They didn't flesh it out enough, I think the experience is fun enough so that that doesn't totally ruin the game but I am left thinking that they could have done so much more in so many ways. The best part for me is the brilliant new Pokemon, if I didn't love raising them so much I think I'd be much more disappointed.

    I mean they did it for Black and White 2 plus loads of fan games do it, so exactly! It'd be such a good quality of life improvement, they've made loads of little quality of life tweaks this gen but that's one that's still crying out to be done.

     

    I guess you can just Nuzlocke the game to make it harder but with how easy a lot of it is, without a challenge mode I don't think that would be that hard, depending on how lucky you were with encounters I guess. I mean my Pokemon have fainted but not that often and most of the time it's because I've made stupid mistakes when not paying quite enough attention (like I didn't think of switching out Rillaboom when facing Gengar even though ofc I know damn well it's part Poison, so I took a Dynamaxed Poison attack to the face lmao) or I just pushed someone with half HP a bit too far because I wanted the experience on them. But you shouldn't have to make up a challenge to do to make it a bit more difficult!

    spoiler result below

     

     

    Michelle is OUT.

     

    Saffron was in the dance off.

     

    Gutted but I expected that, both the elimination and Saffron being in the bottom as well. It's just such a shame to lose who I think at her peak is capable of as much as Kelvin. It sucks that Karim or Emma can have multiple off weeks and sail through anyway but Michelle has one and that's it, that's her done.
