T Boy

Lyrically, it’s trash. So bottom of the barrel for the era they were in.

I am so ready for Steph Haydock to be back.

Agreed, I think they’ve all been pretty likeable. Sam is a tad arrogant but not really that bad. When Hugo was chosen as a traitor I just knew he wouldn’t last long because he relished it so much and was very theatrical. Very similar to Amani last year. But as a person he was likeable enough. Last year was sprinkled with some of the most unlikeable characters. The fact that one of them even won made it worse. This year, they do seem to be getting into the nature of it so far rather than just being there for their tv moment.

Really looking forward to seeing 2002-4!

I’m Not Dead being 20 years old feels real and unreal at the same time.

I voted Harriet for my ‘final’ guess. She’s been quiet until last night and of course we already knew she could be quite shrewd. Roxy and Ellie are still on my list and also Fiona but I still think they’re teasing her. I think Fiona is honestly just living her best life.

That was a round table for the ages. I love how into it a lot of them are, it’s refreshing after watching several of Kate Garroway saying ‘I just don’t know!’ recently. Hugo was way too theatrical to go far. Harriet had so much to go with using her own profession against him but regardless he attracted too much attention. The edit seems to want us to suspect Amanda, Fiona or Ellie for the secret traitor and I admit I was swaying towards Fiona today. She’s playing a decent game and regardless she’s more switched on than she’s allowing the other players to realise. With those seeming a little obvious, I’m thinking Harriet or Roxy for the secret traitor.

I think it would be worth doing Now 60 at least as there were still a fair few omissions there.

I Think he’s making them as accompaniments to the actual Nows released. Therefore, Black Coffee would make sense being on 48 after Pure Shores was on 47.

love the Holy Trinity of Pink, Anastacia and Dido towards the end of disc 1!

Roxy should be wearing a sign saying ‘I’m Judy’s daughter’ every time she spoke to her in front of anyone else it felt like a daughter correcting her mum 😂 maybe it’d have been different if we didn’t know. Poor Judy, I’d have liked to have seen more of her. I was thinking Roxy for the secret traitor but I’m not sure now. Ellie is a shout, I didn’t notice her last night but did today. Could Harriet be playing the very best game though?

We have the Senedd elections here in Weeyals later this year. Hoping for a Plaid FM of course but concerned about Reform as ever.

I think retro charts aren’t quite correct there.

I do enjoy About You Now. It always reminds me of starting university as it was being hammered on the radio and it topped the chart just a week or so in.

The worst dialogue was at the police station ‘who am I supposed to have murdered?’ ‘You tell us’ ‘what am I supposed to have done’ ‘you know’. Very clear they haven’t storylined that part yet. I’m also not sure who would actually marry Max. All the candidates have friends and family that would put a stop to it.

I can’t think that they’d killed Amy off given she’s her mother’s only legacy in the show. I also wouldn’t want them killing Penny off either. Could either have abandoned their baby with post natal depression or something? Maybe Vinny died and Penny can’t cope?

They’ll figure out her secret soon enough 😂

Right I think I’ve decided that this current shower can’t really get anything right. The Nigel episode was a fluke. That flashforward was pointless and it’s quite clear they haven’t planned it all out. It was the same lines over and over again teasing things they won’t or can’t reveal. It looks like we’re going to get repetitive Max/Jack/Lauren/Oscar scenes for a whole year in the same vein as Zoe saying ‘I need to find my son/Mini Mo’. After that, I don’t think I’m even interested in filling in any of the gaps of that episode.

Not sure about the secret traitor thing, see how tomorrows ep goes I guess. I feel like Hugo is way too theatrical to not get banished early.

I think the secret traitor is a woman for sure. Not sure why I think this but I do.

I wondered if he was Penny and Vinny’s?

I’m not sure Libby’s return was worth holding the episode back. Denise better not be the bride. It’s just so ludicrous. Looks like they’re all just still having the same conversations about Max. So there’s a baby called Ethan with Jack. A new bloke I didn’t recognise. Ian didn’t say the name of who was running the Vic so maybe not the Slaters anymore. But really it wasn’t that great.

Same! I’m watching live which I never do but it runs into Traitors so I’m doing both before I’m fall asleep because I’m so tired!

So thoughts about tomorrow after having seen tonight. -we could actually see Max die tomorrow. -I think we may see a returning character-Tanya or Stacey. -he’s supposed to be getting married-could be any of Tanya, Stacey, Linda, Cindy, Nicola, Chelsea or even Priya going off tonight. -someone is pregnant-I’m thinking Chelsea or Priya if Max is the father. Nicola is already pregnant-we may see her baby tomorrow night? I’m guessing it’ll be Max centric but it’d be nice to see what’s going on with as many characters as possible. It was nice to see neglected characters like Penny and Vinnie starting something tonight-maybe they’ll have more screen time over the next year.

I really liked his other two solo albums particularly the Desired Effect. Looking forward to these.
