Soa flopping 3 balls is kind of iconic Honestly Moon had no business being in the bottom and I’d have had Misty bottom 2 over Magnetica. I think they weighted the last look way too much when the whole team had varying levels of meh to horrible designed looks, but Magnetica’s first two were great. Moon’s looks were basic but very her and it was a cohesive Ball package. Soa first out would have been crazy which I assume would have happened if it was her vs Misty as it probably should have been. The top 3 was definitely right, I’d maybe have gone Piche in the top over Kam because that Deliveroo look was so utterly ridiculously camp but I could see arguments for any of the 3. Kam just doesn’t excite me that much. Amazing season so far despite kind of wack judging.

Proving she should have won the Rusical x

The worst thing about all this is the absolute lunacy of the Ballum stans on Twitter coming out again because their precious boy is mentioned and how dare they ruin Callum’s character by actually giving him something to do. Oscar along with Priya is the best new casting in YEARS, I can’t believe in a matter of 4 episodes there has been so much development and so many layers to him. So sweet tonight when he used his wages to buy Jimmy a toy 😭

Want: I’d be elated with Lydia or Bosco, Ginger or Jorgeous are fine by me too though Think: I’d be shocked if it wasn’t Ginger Deserve: honestly Ginger has killed it, Bosco and Jorgeous have had really strong showings though, all 3 are at the top of their game and Lydia has done absolutely incredibly to think she came back straight off her original run and hadn’t even been on TV when she filmed this! if I chose who to return I think Mistress is most fair, of the ones who didn’t make it I think all were fair to not qualify tbh I won’t be mad if any of them win, there’s nobody I’m not keen on other than Kerri and let’s be real if it’s her she is not winning a single lipsync unless somebody brings a malfunctioning money gun lol

Fully obsessed with Adrian I fear

Just heard the teaser and it sounds huuuuge, think/hope this could well be a top 40 hit for her finally!! I could see it going viral like TASPOM because the lyrics feel very timely.

Episode 2 and seeing some feeds made me do a u-turn on Kelley, she is so f***ing dumb lmfao

I love the fact there’s no coming out, it was just placed into his character naturally. We really don’t need a boring tortured coming out saga, that’s so overdone in soaps so it’s refreshing that it just happens to be part of him already, it’s not a huge thing but it’s a characteristic that’s used to add to the charm and appeal and comedy.

Rachel on feeds seems to be leaning into the social game a lot more, both times she played before was obviously polarising and relied on her comp ability so it’s a good sign she has worked on her weaknesses a bit more. I don’t mind vets/newbies mixing but I think it is kind of crazy to drop in someone of her calibre, such a legend, alongside recruits who’ve never seen the show, and she’s the only vet. So far love her though as expected due to her being one of my all time faves, also loving Ava, Kelley, Mickey, Zack and Adrian so far. It’s a very promising cast and season already!! Like even the ones I don’t like such as Jimmy, I can sense an iconic crash out coming sooner rather than later, he will be an early out in a hot mess way I think.

The tea said Bosco was a contentious win, personally I’d have gone for Ginger or Bosco and could see the argument for Jorgeous. No way is it contentious, as a talent show should be it showed her brand, it was punchy, snappy, funny, everything it needed to be and she had the best runway. I can’t see who can argue against that! Also agree on Daya, she’s not been a fave fave of mine but I thought she was capable, and would really deliver, I think she did deserve the design challenge alongside Ginger but she was flat out the worst in a terrible Snatch Game for me and could easily have been bottom for the talent show and had the most egregiously pushed win of the season by far with the improv challenge. She’s not even been terrible really other than Snatch Game, just sheer mediocrity and she is capable of so much more surely?

Great casting, I’m wondering if he might be gay/bi too given some of the dialogue which would be a good story to tell for a younger legacy character growing up and makes up for the fact they just turfed out two characters who were LGBTQ+ rep without doing much with them. Obviously just speculation but it would make sense. Also I find it hard to believe Julie wouldn’t go straight to Walford or reach out to someone she knows still lives there to see if Nigel was there?

They have changed it now so there is a dubbed and non dubbed version as two different shows, the other day I changed my iPad language to French so it would just play it in French and I could put English subs on Mami is so evolved it is insane, a well deserved win. There’s definitely a sense of confidence in her abilities, not just her body, there’s such a spark of charisma still, and the looks are definitely elevated and thought through. Very excited to see everything else she does. Misty’s talent show was also a gag and I love Elips and Kam’s performances too. Magnetica’s was clunky but I think Punani was the flat out worst, correct bottom 3 though.

Ginger or Jorgeous absolutely won that but Bosco was 3rd for me and the runway was another level so no qualms from me with her winning. Tbh I might have had Daya in the bottom over Lydia, at least Lydia did something slightly different than a typical lipsync to an original song and I don’t think Daya’s was funny or that standout. Two weeks in a row she was lucky to not be eliminated imo Mistress I do think deserved bottom, it was fine but there was a high standard and I think this is one of those numbers that would be hysterical and a gag at a show, but on a Drag Race talent show it’s not necessarily the right fit and didn’t translate fully.

It says it all that he has had a baby with Lauren, his mum come back from the dead and he’s got two secret siblings he didn’t know about, and still there is nothing to the character, nothing to enjoy or root for or look forward to seeing. It feels like they asked Lauren back only to build around the Beales as an extension to Peter but now they are rebuilding the Brannings she really needs to get away from him.

Evil evil song

Usually can’t stand them because of the usual tropes that just make every song sound the same but this is a banger, I think this is the first time I’ve really liked a song of theirs since Boombayah!

Lauren deserves so much better, which is literally anyone on the square bar Peter Her and Zac make way more sense.

Molly Streep-Hepburn back to show Walford a master class in acting

The Sun has revealed the Strictly star for Eastenders is in fact Balvinder Sopal (Suki) ICONIC

Unpopular opinion probably and borderline Hollyoaks heresy but I can’t think of anything more terminally boring than this Ste and Lucas rubbish right now and frankly anything to do with Ste lately

It is kind of wild how Ginger has two all time great Snatch Games with her Adele and Phyllis Diller, then a strong unquestionable win here with Reba, then her AS2 Tammy Faye is just the safest most forgettable safe.

Out of all the insane fever dream things to happen this season, Cynthia being arguably kind of robbed for Snatch Game of all challenges is probably the most insane I think it’s really weird narratively as well to spend the whole episode framing Snatch Game as “just make Ru laugh” and then someone who was cracking Ru up was in the bottom and went home? I mean yeah it was terrible, but the likes of Alyssa and Lexi have set a precedent that bombing but kind of turning it out and being funny anyway shouldn’t land you in the bottom. Personally I’d rather a swing and a miss than no swing at all. Like I don’t think Aja, Daya, Lydia, or Mistress had much of a character at all, at least I suppose Lydia did an accent, it was the wrong one, but at least she did something. Same with Cynthia, because her answers were so stupid it was actually funny, and that to me is worth more than just “Jane Lynch is a lesbian :)” or “let’s just be loud and aggressive because I’m Natalie Nunn :)”

Daya’s Jane Lycnh was worse than her Ozzy Osbourne at least with Ozzy she tried a voice and some hallmarks. This was just Daya dressed up as Sue Sylvester making surface level lesbian “””jokes””” (stretch of the word as it was just references to being a lesbian really).

This is so real

If I say neither Mistress or Cynthia deserved bottom 2 💀 Cynthia was lowkey a Lexi high for me that was so hysterically bad. I think I lighted more at her than anyone bar Ginger although it was terrible. I’d rather have a terribly bad hysterical Snatch Game than a boring safe one and at least it was memorable. WIN Ginger HIGH Jorgeous, Bosco Yellowsafe/Lexi high Cynthia LOW Mistress BTM Aja, Daya Lydia wasn’t great either but at least she tried to make somewhat of a character with the accent even if it made no sense and wasn’t funny at all. If you told me Daya Betty would be pushed and Cynthia kind of robbed even a month ago I’d have laughed. The lipsync was fine, the spoilers said that it was terrible and that Mistress forgot the words and Cynthia was just so bad that Mistress got to stay anyway lol
