Calum

Thanks @dandy* for clarifying there Also, @AllStarBySmashMouth I'd imagine very little thought went into it (not sure if uhsting's even aware of / been keeping up with this!), screenshots below so people can see timings etc

Joanne for me too ~

Jonjo actually had no idea who he was against, all he knew about was the twist itself

@-Jay- and @Jack 4 hours left to confirm your choices here!

Round 4: Battleground Results Apologies for the delay, got distracted playing Fortnite last night

@seven. @-Jay- @Last Dreamer @Lukuzz @AllStarBySmashMouth @Herbs @Mangø @Dj Cheeky magpie @Ansel @Jack @jimwatts @Jade @Spiceboy @Brer @Tafty CONFIRM YOUR GOLDEN WAGNER SONG CHOICE HERE You have until 18:59 tomorrow, 18th June, to confirm to be in with a chance of returning to The Pop Factor!

I almost cried when uhsting sent me the list back and saw I was paired with Xtina... but excited to be able to showcase one more song of Damiano's for the Golden Wagner! Personally very sad to have lost Addison and Enrique there and I wouldn't have pegged Charlie to be the last man standing, but g'won!

As I said earlier this evening, it was a random draw. @uhsting was given the list of 16 artists and sent me back a randomised version of the list with each pair assigned based on that list (1 with 2, 3 with 4, etc).

The final eight artists through to Live Shows are: A-ha Avril Lavigne Charlie Puth Christina Aguilera Ellie Goulding Mary J. Blige Pet Shop Boys The Saturdays And for now, you can rest. Take some time to consider your next move before the Live Shows begin, because there's some business to attend to before they kick off! The power of The Golden Wagner is now UP FOR GRABS! Shortly, all of the eliminated artists will be invited to confirm their song choice to bring them back into the competition as the ninth wildcard act in Live Shows. Only one eliminated artist will return to the competition. Full results for Battleground will follow shortly too.

The eighth and final artist safe and through to Live Shows is... which means that very unfortunately, the final act eliminated from the competition is...

And finally... The closest-fought and final duel on the Battleground... With so little points between them, more ups and downs and back and forth and switching of positions than Ariana Grande on steroids... Enrique Iglesias vs. The Saturdays...

In times like these you need a miracle... The penultimate artist through to Live Shows is... which means that sadly eliminated from the competition is...

Loading the next result... and it's bad news as James Blake is eliminated from the competition. Good news for one artist though, because the sixth act through to Live Shows is...

Not only working from home, but eliminated from the competition and heading home for good if they don't get their hands on The Golden Wagner is... but while Fifth Harmony chase Camila Cabello through the Battleground as she storms off, the fifth artist through to Live Shows is...

Living in a lot of the voters' heads rent-free, Pet Shop Boys are the fourth act through to Live Shows! which means, eliminated from the competition, we say goodbye to their opponent...

Next up, we have the Italian stallion Damiano David... who tried his best, but found himself up against the ultimate fighter The third act through to Live Shows is... which means Damiano David has been eliminated from the competition.

Leaving the competition first tonight, Avril Lavigne's opponent was... and joining Elton John on the not very yellow brick road home, Mary J. Blige's opponent was...

The winner of Battleground and the first artist safely through to Live Shows is... and with the joint top score! Which means the two artists that were battling against Avril Lavigne and Mary J. Blige will be eliminated...

Only the winner of Battleground is guaranteed a place in the Live Shows... You have unknowingly been battling head to head with one other artist to remain in the competition. As long as your total score is higher than your opponent's, your Uber to the Live Shows is mere steps away. Last week, with the help of independent adjudicator @uhsting (who will hopefully be around at the end of the results to verify no rigga morris has occurred x), the pairs were chosen before song choice confirmations opened. And now it's time to find out which eight artists are victorious...

The battle has ended. 19:30

I see no problem Just checked (on desktop) though and they're appearing for me

(hurry up so I can start graphiques Bra xx)

We shall see

I'm glad early outs are getting the chance to return more now but from season 15 there's literally so many other queens I'd want to see back before Amethyst 💀
