Two days into the RTD2 era and we’ve already got a new (or rather updated) logo and an announcement that the new series will stream on Disney+ outside of the Uk! The Doctor is now a Disney Prince/Princess @1584903857888526338 Ncuti alreadg doing some promo as he went on US TV to make the announcement and has also filmed this video: @1584907779843665920 I’m so here for this new era. It feels like the buzz will be BACK and it will be the big brand again. There’s no reason why it can’t be in these times of big franchises.

Me trying to get into the other semi:

Oh no, a lot of the countries I thought might be more likely to vote for my entry are in the other semi. Don’t let the curse of the semis rain down on me again!

I actually jumped up seeing just David Bradley as the First Doctor, nevermind all the others. My heart is so full :heart: A brilliant way to bring them back, especially the scenes with Tegan and Ace. Loved the cameos at the end too! I mean the episode as a whole was certainly a ride! I was expecting an absolute mess but I think it was more polished than I expected. Tegan and Ace were the biggest standouts but I also love Sacha as the Master too. I did also get very emotional with the Doctor/Yaz scenes at the end. Both were really fantastic and I feel Jodie & Mandip’s own sadness about leaving really came through. My biggest gripes are just my main issues with this era as a whole. The companions are just given no agency and are so reliant on the Doctor. This was Yaz’s biggest moment to shine and she still hardly said anything and is reliant on the Doctor AI. The writing is just so frustrating because Mandip is giving the limited role her absolute all. I don’t understand why Yaz is the best person the Doctor has met but won’t let her stay with her for the regeneration! And then Dan just given the most briefest exits of all time, swept under the carpet :lol: Another gripe is just how so many ideas with lots of potential are raised throughout the era and then are just never explored. I can’t believe Fugitive returned again for just another 30 second. Especially rubbing it in this time going, “that’s me done then x” I know the intention of the Timeless Child was to add more mystery but I don’t understand the point of introducing it and then hardly doing anything with it after it’s been revealed. It just renders those episodes as more shock value then an actual narrative arc. My third and final main gripe of this era is the Doctor being used as an exposition machine. Show us, then don’t tell us. Interestingly, I feel all those are the three elements that RTD excels so very much looking forward to what’s next. Don’t know how I feel about David being 10th and 14th Doctor but I’m very much here for the ride. Just can’t believe its so long to wait

I can’t believe Joi picked Will, especially after being paired with Kesi for those last two tasks that contained the most obvious forms of sabotage! She literally caught her removing the ice block 💀

I got so addicted to this that I’m desperate for the final two episodes! I can’t see past it being Joi or Kesi but I do lean more towards Kesi. I have really enjoyed the group overall though and pleased with the ones that remain. The only one I wasn’t as keen on was Dom because of how obvious it was that he wasn’t the mole :lol:

I think the release date might be due to ensuring vinyls are available on the same week. It must only be recently finished/in the process of being finished as he did the festivals this year without releasing any new music as appeared to be as originally intended. The world tour dates also suggest they were hoping for a Q4 release date.

omg wait she's been entered three times since and I got the worst result?? :frankie:

I thought Gaga and r Meekul went on a break when Alice wasn’t released as a single? :unsure:

I’m ready and feel excited about my current song, so I’m sure someone will get in their first or it’ll be vetoed.

Oops at that Semi result, Mouthwash might have snuck in if it was in the other semi! Well done to Lookylion!! I didn’t vote for it because I just felt it sounded like an ABBA copycat rather than something that stood on its own two feet but I’m certainly not surprised at the win! Thank you to Rob for an amazing contest, so much effort and BJSC fm has been an amazing idea!

Has a version with Javine ever leaked? I want to glimpse into the parallel universe where Javine was voted in.

I voted earlier today but the final could have done with more gargling

I’m surprised with all the variants, and particularly the live show double LP, that they didn’t release the Deluxe edition on vinyl. It feels a missed opportunity and it could include some of the B-sides as well!

I absolutely loved One Kiss when it came out but the love has very slightly dwindled over time. I think it’s been weakened by overexposure (it always seems to be one of those picks for sporting events) and Dua returning with a such a massive era. So glad at Perfect Places making the final though, absolutely adore it and it’s chart performance was so undeserved.

The trailer looks fantastic and has made me a bit more hyped again. I know it will be an absolute mess though, there’s too many elements (potentially more than Flux!) for it to work properly and that’s one of the biggest downfalls of this era - lots of good ideas but poor execution. We have: • the Doctor’s death/regeneration • Yaz leaving • Dan leaving • the Master • Daleks • Cybermen • Ace returning • Tegan returning • Vinder • Kate Stewart & UNIT • Conclusion of Timeless Child storyline (??? not expecting much from this hahaha) • Fugitive Doctor ??? (not confirmed but hinted at, no doubt just another cameo) •

omg just peeped in to immediately hear Circles yass

I think there’s a difference between not knowing the artist and not knowing the song. There’s plenty of 60s/70s/80s songs that I wouldn’t know going purely off title/artist but that I would immediately know upon hearing the song due to hearing on the radio/films/TV/adverts. For example, Rather Be was used in M&S adverts for quite a while and so people who don’t know the song, may know the tune.

Although I am surprised there’s no one from the ‘castle years’ as it would have been interesting to see them in the different environment, I guess it is very soon for them to do it again though. Typical ITV to continue paying lip service to both Paul and Gillian.

I jumped up so high, this show (in all its forms) never works out so perfectly!! What a turnaround from a dead cert Week 1 exit and having people wanting you out every single week. I agree that I’m relieved that it’s finally not just all about comp wins because half of them are based on luck and the game is a social one and how you can use the power, wherever it lies, to your advantage. I still stand by that Taylor’s not a great BB player in the traditional sense but she absolutely deserved that win after what she’s been up against. Her final speech really summed it up, resilience makes a great BB winner. Poor Joseph in that episode though, let’s hope Taylor ditches Monte now he’s given her the $750,000 Why’d they put them in the backyard again though??
