    And just like that we're at the end of season 2! The final episode concludes the series on Saturday with... The Reality War. Once again written by Russell T Davies, we're promised answers to burning questions, an epic finale, and some more twists and turns. Battle rages across the skies as the Unholy Trinity unleash their deadly ambition. The Doctor, Belinda and Ruby have to risk everything in the quest to save one innocent life. 6:50pm on BBC One, BBC iPlayer, Disney+ and in UK cinemas (worldwide simulcast). Discuss the episode here ~
  2. Detailed results for the round will be published in due course Sad to see Louise, Lemon Demon and YVA go - none of them were my least favourite in each category. Despite Lemon Demon probably feeling like a novelty artist to some, @seven. knows how to produce a bop and obviously Louise was great, @-Jay- did well because before this week I'd never have bothered to listen to Louise at all and now I've heard the whole album and love it! For the remaining 21 contestants, please think of your next song choice. You should submit your song choice using the link below by 18:59 tomorrow evening (28th May)! SUBMIT YOUR ROUND 2 SONG CHOICE

  8. Last day of voting! Thanks for a great start and turnout everyone. If we could manage a few more votes for the men that would be great, trailing behind the other two categories just slightly at the moment

Its exploration of Isaac a bit more was very welcome, while obviously also focusing a lot on Elle too. Gonna go with Trey for favourite reality TV contestant, can't think far back enough at the moment and he's been one that I've loved in both shows he's appeared in. He was great in Squid Game: The Challenge, but it was pretty tough seeing everyone go in on him so hard on Battle Camp and for no real reason whatsoever other than that they're probably intimidated and threatened by how intelligent he is compared to them; particularly Chase lol. And then for most annoying reality TV contestant... no explanation required. I remember so vividly watching that episode of The Vampire Diaries when it was released and having Stefan kill Enzo was bad enough, but I wasn't prepared for the way the episode ended with Bonnie holding him in her arms and the scream she let out. Shivers everywhere Despite enjoying Waterloo Road's revival to an extent - particularly series 14 which was the closest we've had to vintage Waterloo Road I think - and having the likes of Kim around as head was a great way to reintroduce the show despite there being some big discrepancies with continuity I think the original magic of the show has definitely been lost. I love that they've capitalised on its success on iPlayer and brought it back, but I think they should have had a much clearer objective of what they wanted to achieve by bringing it back. I wouldn't say it's been completely ruined but when you think about the show it was when the likes of Rachel and co were in it and the stories they told back then, this is a very watered down version with much less going for it.
  10. Sorry @seven. I just realised you would’ve needed a reminder, don’t know what made me think you had voted 😭
  11. @jimwatts still to vote in this category as a participant. For any non-participants that want to vote the deadline has been brought forward slightly to 18:59 on Tuesday (BST)! All three categories are very tight at the moment 👀
