The Pop Factor: Popped! EXCLUSIVE Musée du Louvre Extracted from its home in Paris, France, and protected at the centre of the Battleground, not everything is as it should be in the Louvre. Overlooked by giant AI Rita Ora while AI RitaBot 3000 takes cover the museum houses modern art dating back to 2019 of the holy Shawn Mendes with passers-by stopping to worship; the Mona Lisa found rotting on the polished, wooden floors. Wagner can be found terrorising the echoing corridors with endless renditions of She Bangs, Love Shack and Just Help Yourself while tapping the keys to the safe holding the Golden Wagner coins like an orchestral triangle. But the most decadent piece of art is quite the conversation starter...

Indeed it will 👀

And finally, of those that have been eliminated from the competition thus far: Dj cheeky magpie was behind...

Herbs was behind... and Mango was behind...

Lukuzz was behind... and AllStarBySmashMouth was behind...

seven. was behind... and -Jay- was behind...

First up, a recap of the artists we've so far said goodbye to (although maybe not for long in one instance)... Last Dreamer was behind...

By popular demand, tonight at 7pm the names behind some of the artists in The Pop Factor will be confirmed

@Ansel @Brer @HarryGarfield @King Rollo 48 hours left to get your votes in and avoid a deduction! (once again everything is VERY tight so if you're not participating do vote too if you want to)

This has really grown on me in a big way over the past couple of days. I think initially it was just a case of 'oh here's some more of the same' but from the second chorus onwards it slaps so hard ngl.

Just finished catching up with the season after some major Drag Race fatigue at the end of season 17 Bracket 1 was amazing to watch. Bosco, ugh I love her so much. I'm really glad we're getting to see what Irene's capable of too because it was evident in season 15 that it was all there and she just didn't get a chance to show any of it. Was good to see Phoenix again but clearly she was never going to get through lmao. Bracket 2... yeah no thanks. I'm really not getting the love for Jorgeous. I seem to have gone in the opposite direction to everyone else having enjoyed her a lot in season 14, less so in AS9 and now just nah. Especially that lip-sync to TEXAS HOLD 'EM. I don't know what it is but she just has no emotional connection to anything she's dancing to no matter how technically good her dancing actually is. But Ru's got such a boner for her so she's going to be here right to the end for sure. Mistress was great in season 15 but I'm just rolling my eyes at this point. I don't think I'd have had her in the top for any of the challenges. Tina should've gone through instead (really appreciated the glow-up she's had!) but sadly we were in a position where it was KERRI COLBY (?!) potentially going through instead of Mistress, lolwut i- NPB was giving me everything though x Bracket 3 seems wholesome enough so far. So happy to see Denali back (where was the win this week thank you please?) as well as Alyssa but she is absolutely not getting through here lol. Acid Betty already seems a lot more chilled/likeable than she was in season 8 too so looking forward to more from her over the next two weeks.

Henry for me but Sunsetter is another amazing one from Calum Addison in the tiebreak!

Pretty Ugly is the better of the two for me. Wasn't really feeling this to begin with but after a few listens it's catching on

More votes please!! Will post 48 hour reminder for those that haven't voted tomorrow night too And how did the Louvre get into the middle of the Battleground? 🤔

Michael's votes disqualified again for the rudeness x

(oops, back on track now promise x) A tie needs to be broken, and it's Harry vs. Zayn! Then we move onto round 6 ~ Vote for your LEAST FAVOURITE!

Holy shit. I was excited when I heard the Mr Electric Blue preview but DAMN Wanted Man sounds insane!!

Due to start filming soon and the leaked / heavily rumoured cast is: Maura Higgins (Love Island) Donna Kelce (Travis Kelce's mother) Lisa Rinna (The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills) Porsha Williams (The Real Housewives of Atlanta) Candiace Dillard Bassett (The Real Housewives of Potomac) Mark Ballas (Shirley Ballas' son / pro dancer) Colton Underwood (Professional football player) Monét X Change (Drag queen) Yam Yam Arocho (Survivor) Dorinda Medley (The Real Housewives of New York City) Tiffany Mitchell (Big Brother) Ian Terry (Big Brother) Natalie Anderson (Survivor, The Amazing Race) Rob Cesternino (Survivor) Johnny Weir (Figure skater) Eric Nam (Singer, TV presenter)

Boarders has been renewed by the BBC for a third and final series. Must get around to watching the second series soon because the first was really good

Enrique Iglesias feat. Ciara - Takin' Back My Love Fifth Harmony feat. Ty Dolla $ign - Work From Home Avril Lavigne - My Happy Ending The Saturdays - All Fired Up Charlie Puth - How Long Addison Rae - Times Like These Mary J. Blige - Family Affair CHVRCHES - Graves Elton John - I'm Still Standing Christina Aguilera - Fighter A-ha - Take on Me SASAMI - Just Be Friends James Blake - Loading Calvin Harris & Ellie Goulding - Miracle Pet Shop Boys - Rent That was difficult. Obviously it's the big hitter but enjoy Take on Me, down to even James Blake who was palatable this time x Unfortunately most of Ellie's generic dance fodder is lost on me

Another bop served

I can't wait for Tuesday
