    Hey Liam!! I've only heard Hayley and Jorja's album out of those so far. I quite liked Expectations but Curious remains her best for sure, and Lost & Found was a really solid listen although not one I'm drawn back into much!

     

    Didn't even know Molly Sandén had a new album out :o

    Curious <3 <3

     

    I missed it for a couple of months, harder to keep it when she hasn't thrust a Melfest bop on us :P

     

    This already slaying as ever Liam <3

     

    Lauren's album is so good and those are my two highlights as well *.* You Say is SUCH a moment. I honestly would love it if she explodes next era and get Adele's success, ik it's v. unlikely but part of me can see her exploding if she gets a high profile peformance or something.

    I loved Florence's album and again those are my two faves *.* Hunger is a bop and her best since What Kind Of Man *.*

    I acc love Dancing Queen, her version of Gimme x3 gives me life and One Of Us is incredible <3

    Reimagined is mostly good *.* I think you know my opinions on this haha but ew at TGS Panic stanning xxx Omg what an accurate description of that James & Anne trash x Yass at Pink love tho <3

    Expectations was also fab and way better than I was expecting! And once again your two highlights are the exact same for me :wub:

    I've struggled to get into any of Tove or Ella's stuff this year :( Also I've barely checked out Courtney since Pedestrian At Best oops!

    I really need to listen to Poppy's album, I'm so obsessed with Play Destroy and your description of it slays again <3

    I didn't like Post's album either oops but those highlights are def the best two on the album!

    MNEK *.* King of 400 sales xxxxxxx Colour is a bop tho, Hailee's impakt *.*

    Ugh I can't stan Kim cos of the certain controversy as much as Heart To Break issa bop

    Jorja's album was soo good, tho I'm gutted at her leaving Let Me Down off it :(

    Joyride was underwhelming in the end haha after the 900 year wait and 1,200 preceeding singles x

    Love Monster is fab, I Said Hi is my fave tho *.*

     

    So hyped for the top 20 <3

    Stan me x

     

    Maybe in Lauren can break out in America at least!

    Queen of stanning most of my opinions apart from your lack of Panic taste <3

    That's one thing that always annoys me, the reading challenge happens every season and I feel like, as well as a Snatch Game character, a queen should have that. That sort of cutting sense of humour, an ability to make fun of others and clap back is something a queen needs imo, and it always surprises me that there's always a couple of queens who just don't get it - it's always coming prepare for it! :/

    YAASS ICONIC QUEEN, for once my fave since the very start won :wub:

     

    I'm so happy for her, you can tell she was proper living her dream on a show she loved, but as well as loving every minute she worked hard to do some brilliant dances and both of those combined are what Strictly is about for me. Great to finally see Kevin win as well, even if it seemed a bit more focused on him than Stacey at the end there :lol: He seems like such a nice guy and always brings the best out of his partners.

    I agree that it was a bit underwhelming as a challenge, of course doing drag and performing IS a talent so it's not surprising we get a lot of just what we'd see in a show in the talent show, but it's hard to get too excited when it's just a bunch of queens lipsyncing and dancing. I did really enjoy it though and it was an opening that made me excited for the rest of the series.

     

    I think it was all quite close, nobody completely stood out in the way that say Aja or Tatiana did in their seasons but my top 4 was definitely Monique, Trinity, Gia and Latrice, but I also loved Manila's as something totally different. I wouldn't have put it top 2 because most of it I was like erm what and then it was just that last couple of seconds that wowed me and thought how did she do it, but it was great to see something different, same with Gia. I did love Monique's but I think I'd have put Gia/Latrice top 2 over her, as said we've kind of seen dancing to your own song SO many times. Gia did something totally different but worked it, and Latrice put a spin on what we usually see with the flags. I did love Monique and Trinity's performances though so I can't be mad at them being top. Jush was definitely the worst, undeniably, as the queens said it's a total different thing doing stand-up than it is being funny for a minute online. There was just nothing at all, just rehashing her video about the guy with bad breath and then walking off :lol: I think it should have been Monet over Farrah bottom 2 though, neither were anything we have seen before but other than falling I think Farrah did fine, sometimes these things happen. Monet just did a song we've already heard and at times it looked like she didn't know what she was doing with her choreo and just sort of chucked in a couple of twirls and splits.

     

     

    I really really don't like Gia's attitude though, to be honest she's in the weaker half of the queens here so I don't know what her attitude is for :lol: I'm also tired of Farrah already, this could really have been her chance to do an Aja and break out, but she seems to have not developed at all and is still just pretty and nice enough, and too whiny. Valentina can also already go, can't stand her and she just comes across so fake. Jasmine going I'm really not bothered about, as I said she was the worst and whilst she has more entertainment potential than a few left in, I don't think she is the sort of queen for this show. She is hilarious on her own terms but has real trouble applying it to the show's format and in terms of looks, acting etc. she just doesn't have the range. She's a tough one because the memes and Vines made her memorable, but I don't think she is All Star material at all. It'd be ok if she hung around for 2-3 episodes to give us a meme but we didn't even get that :lol:

    50 BB20 Scottie Salton (38pts, 2 votes)

     

    King of being banned for making a risky joke when Angela was allowed to be a bitch all season x Scottie wasn't as great as his geeky contemporaries, but he was solidly likeable and deserved more.

     

    49 BB2/7/14 Mike "Boogie" Malin (42pts, 2 votes)

     

    Honestly my worst winner ever, rode on Will's coattails the entire time (both in BB2 and BB7) and then flopped the only time he was on his own. BB7 should have been Janelle's :(

     

    48 BB20 Kaitlyn Herman (42pts, 4 votes)

     

    Iconic, she'd be higher if she wasn't so recent I'd have thought. She was an absolute nutjob, didn't last too long, but so so entertaining with all her auras and chakras and practically falling in love with Tyler and ruining her whole game for him, throwing Swaggy under the bus in the process.

     

    47 BB18 Natalie Negrotti (43pts)

     

    A Latino female made top 3 in America's fave?! Just shows how lovely Natalie was, I was rooting for her all through BB18 (bar her awful no-mance with James, ew). She never really hit the ground in the game, but seems to have have made a name for herself on MTV, being on The Challenge for a couple of seasons I believe.

     

    46= BB16 Jocasta Odom (44pts, 2 votes)

     

    BB16's token gif-able but useless queen, Jocasta pretty much said she couldn't play the game and Jesus would just guide her and that would make her win :')

     

    46= BB19 Cody Nickson (44pts, 2 votes)

     

    BB19's winner of AFP, not that he had any competition tbh with how vile most of the cast was :lol: I never *quite* got how he rather than Jessica was the fave (other than him being male and reasonably attractive ofc x), although he did face up to Paul directly and got evicted swiftly for his efforts, not helped by the fact one week heh ad to nominate like 5 people because of a walker, immunity, veto etc. and blew up his game - and that was week 1 :lol: Him and Jessica became a bit of a golden couple though, and are married expecting a child!

     

    44 BB3 Marcellas Reynolds (45pts)

     

    King of winning a veto but not using it on himself and being evicted *__* He was nice enough but eh, that's one of the worst moves of all time :lol:

     

    43 BB3 Jason Guy (46pts)

     

    Another BB3 alumni, one who pretty much controlled the entire game with Daneille although he was pipped to F2 with her. He was fine I guess, not one of the most memorable for me being on such an early season and one I don't really go back to.

     

    42 BB20 Angie "Rockstar" Lantry (48pts)

     

    A woke queen, great showing for such a recent HG! She was pretty useless at the game (see: her giving Tyler the vetothe one chance they had to get him out) and never won anything, but she is jusrt such a great woman and also provided entertainment with her daughter's birthday being second only to Keesha's in terms of being iconic tbh x

     

    41 BB6 Maggie Ausburn (50pts)

     

    Last to fall before the top 40 is BB6's winner Maggie, who is one of those who is a bloody great player (and really underrated for it) but a terrible person and not that exciting to watch. For that reason I find her a bit hard to judge, but she practically ran the house like a cult and persuaded people to do so mny things that were bad for their game, something which she should be applauded for. That and stopping the vile Ivette from winning x

    60 BB15 McRae Olson (30pts)

     

    Kicking off our proper countdown is someone only voted for by Josph, can't imagine why xxx In terms of BB15, he was fine - but the bar was set pretty low when "not racist" meant you were automatically one of the best.

     

    59 BB10 Libra Thompson (31pts)

     

    QUEEN. She had the fire of Da'vonne but she was a great strategist, basically controlling the first four evictions and knowing what to do for her side to gain power or make the right move, although she was 5th out unanimously when people cottoned on. Her alliance The Coven was honestly iconic.

     

    58 BB12/13 Brendon Villegas (35pts, 2 votes)

     

    Rachel's showmance partner, unsurprisingly not faring as well as her. He was fine but definitely second fiddle and a bit of a storyline for her, him sacrificing himself for her as she would be far less of a target on her own was amaze tho.

     

    57 BB12 Chima Simone (35pts, 3 votes)

     

    The only houseguest to ever be expelled that wasn't for violence, Chima made it to final 8 before being expelled after raging at a twist and ending up blowing up completely, memorably causing an eviction to be live for the first (and I believe only) time as she threatened to swear through it all :lol: It was entertaining af when she went off the rails.

     

    56= BB14 Wil Heuser (36pts, 2 votes)

     

    Bit of a hu, one of the least memorable ones in BB14 for me, nice enough guy I guess.

     

    56= BB19 Christmas Abbott (36pts, 2 votes)

     

    Queen of winning (read: being given by Paul) two HOHs while she had a broken leg *.* Ended up a bit of a twat like most of BB19.

     

    54= BB15 Helen Kim (36pts, 4 votes)

     

    The target of some of BB15's horrendous racism, notably being told to "go make some rice". She ran things for a while but was planning to turn on McCranda to be in better stead with the rest of the house and got ousted herself as Amanda turned the house against her.

     

    54= BB16 Donny Thompson (36pts, 4 votes)

     

    A great guy, was never going to win but easy AFP fodder if ever there was one. Just super super likeable and every series needs that.

     

    52 BB18 Michelle Meyer (37pts)

     

    She was an awful person really but SO entertaining, super extra but fell into that typical trap of superfan who's shit at the game. She could be better if she came back a la Nicole, she's one i need to see do that.

     

    51 Judd Daughtery (38pts, 1 vote)

     

    Ngl I barely remember anything about Judd :lol:

    I really liked High As Hope, Tell Me How You Really Feel and Lost And Found

    :D

     

    Great to see my album of the year pop up in here in Love Monster! Pretty much every song on that album is memorable and completely different :wub:

     

    Other than that I don't really listen to albums but Lauren Daigle - You Say is beautiful and AS IT IS have some great tunes as well!

    Ooh didn't know you loved it that much, taste *.*

     

    Nice to see The Greatest Showman: Reimagined making it into the top 40! I wasn't keen on most of the songs to begin with (and still not keen AT ALL on James and Anne-Marie's version of Rewrite the Stars :drama:) but a lot of them have really grown now. :heart: Panic! and Jess/Years & Years are the clear highlights.

    Omg Rewrite The Stars is VILE :lol: Panic <3 <3

    10th The Only Difference Between Suicide And Martyrdom Is Press Coverage 7.75

     

     

    9th Emperor's New Clothes 7.85

     

     

    8th This Is Gospel 8.10

     

     

    ARE PEOPLE OK HOW IS THIS IS GOSPEL NOT TOP 3. An iconic meme song and one of the most emotional Panic songs, as well as probably the one where Brendon's vocals are at their best. Also falling are the band's debut single that went top 100 in the US, and a dance-rock banger from Death Of A Bachelor.

    Voting stats are out, Harry won every vote and Harry ofc won every vote, including the one he was "bottom 2" for :lol: Emily actually got 31.05% of the final vote which I'm surprised at tbh, I was expecting Harry to get like 80% in the same way as Stacey or Gino.

     

    We were right that a lot of the bottom 2s were made up, Fleur was 3rd and 4th when named in the bottom 2 and Emily/John were 4th both times. Fleur actually was bottom 2 with James when Harry was named as a maybe. James was actually bottom 2 5 times in a row but wasn't named in it :lol:

    Holly was brilliant, I know people love Ant and Dec but I just think it feels better with her and Dec. Idk it's more... natural? Sometimes it feels like they force the "banter" and scripted jokes with Ant and Dec but I just love Holly's way of presenting, and the trials were always a laugh with her, particularly the really bad and gruesome ones where her reactions were often more entertaining than the actual contestants' reactions :lol:

     

    Having said that, I didn't enjoy it as much as last year, I fell out of bothering with the show for the last few days and for me Harry was a pretty boring winner, and obvious from before he even went in... But I definitely would love Holly back even if it won't happen in a million years, and Fleur/Emily in particular were brilliant to watch, as well as surprisingly John for me.

    I just can't shake that niggle that Joe will win :( I'd love to be totally wrong and just paranoid, but seeing so many tweets about people voting 200 times or whatever, I think Stacey will appeal to a wider range of people and is more traditionally Strictly as well as all round being better (the fact she's doing dances that are outscoring or matching Ashley/Faye at times says it all) but his rabid fanbase will be insurmountable :( I mean there's nothing you can do to stop it, it's not cheating, but it's quite unfair that he could win based off so many people voting god knows how many times. Of course we won't have any way to know if they made a difference, we don't know how many are doing that and how many times, but it'll play on my mind if he does win. My big hope is that the silent majority will go for Stacey and it's just Joe's social media hold!

     

    Now I don't mind the best dancer not winning if it's someone like Joe last year, there was no way that in general as a dancer he was as good as Alexandra or Debbie, but you couldn't deny how much he improved and that kind of journey winner I'm not mad at, plus when it came down to it, his dances in the final absolutely nailed it and he did deserve the win. Stacey is similar, when you look at how much she's come on it's astounding, from getting 4s and 5s for a couple of weeks to now grabbing those 10s. Joe Sugg seems a perfectly nice guy, he's enjoyed it and he's tried, and that's nice, but it would just be an absolute joke for him to win a dancing competition over any of the other 3. It's not Big Brother, it's not Surprise Surprise.
