183 will be with you very soon

Gosh, really did not expect to win - thank you everyone who voted for Haute & Freddy! First win in 39 contests and first medal position in 33 contests. It has felt like I’ve been totally out of touch lately and was considering my future in the contest so nice to know the old girl still has it. You’ll all be very welcome to Altyr next month for our 150th BJSC.

6 please (or the lowest remaining non-assigned number)

I’m pleasantly surprised overall, the vocals are better than I expected (after the first minute). plus it’s been SO LONG since new Madonna that I’ve already played it 8 times.

Really good first episode, the secret traitor feels like a potentially excellent twist. Side note: Matthew was in my year at school, feels a little odd knowing someone on the show.

The DRAMA of “will I come LAST or not” just won’t let up

Yay at this minor correction giving me my best result of the year

Maude so close to winning and a sneaky top 10 for myself for the first time since January is a much better outcome than I expected.

Clearly my memory is failing me in my old age…

You wait 6 years for points from Cody and you get an 18! Wowee

lol. Not to channel Cody, but I clearly have NO READ on where BJSC is these days.

Was very much feeling myself coming DEAD LAST. Clearly doomed the moment Bre didn’t hate it. Quite pleased that’s the one “achievement” I’ve yet to add to my trophy cabinet. Thanks to the precious few who liked it as much as I did.
