Calum

Probably going to end up kicking off tomorrow, unless someone can bully a friend into registering

Now only ONE male artist required for a full compliment. Who will do it?

Still looking for two people to take one for the team and submit a male, will pay

All Saints have two Canadian-born members so they will not be appearing x

Just 2 male spaces left to be filled and we can get things underway tomorrow evening 👀

Based on what lmao 😭 This does seem like a pretty decent bunch, albeit very young leaning. Still don’t know if I’ll make it to the end but I’ll see if this week is any good.

PMs have now been sent, and Scene and Jack clarification has been obtained, so we are just looking for three solo male artists PM for twinkspiration x

Waiting on responses from @Scene and @Jack before anything is concrete, but as things stand assuming everything is okay: SOLO FEMALE 12/12 Fully occupied SOLO MALE 9/12 3 spaces remaining GROUPS 12/12 Fully occupied If you haven't already received a PM from me to go over anything, very shortly you'll receive a group PM with the number 1, 2 or 3 letting you know whether you've received your first, second or third choice artist x

I've looked through the forms and there will be some second/third choice allocations I'm afraid (everyone will be informed privately soon, so we don't have any grumpy withdrawals after the competition has already started xx) and there's two people I need to reach out to for clarification, but other than that I shall get the line-up together and let everybody know where things stand very soon!

The form has a lot of responses so for anybody that saw the thread before it vanished you'll likely be safe x

THE IMAGES DIED BECAUSE THE THREAD WAS PREPPED FOR SO LONG 😭

All aboard! It's time to take your seat on the Eurostar for an autumnal adventure through Europe with Shawn Mendes. The Pop Factor is back, and this time with some changes. The Battles are gone, but you'll have to wait to see what Europe has in store. Brand new themes await the artists as they arrive in cities across the continent. And our judging panel will be handed more power than ever before. Stay tuned. The Pop Factor in a nutshell: If you're unfamiliar with how The Pop Factor works, you can read The Pop Factor Encyclopedia here, covering everything from the first two seasons. At each stage of the competition, the three categories, as always, will battle it out - Solo Females, Solo Males and Groups - before coming together for Live Shows in venues throughout Europe to showcase the very best of pop! All artists will be screened at Passport Control during registration, and from there you'll be responsible for your artist's fate in the competition, selecting songs for each round. Once again, there will be themed rounds this season, and there may be certain rounds where you have to show your hand, so choose wisely. IMPORTANT: Season 3 of The Pop Factor will be completely anonymous - meaning that the identity of the member behind each artist will/should not be revealed. The Pop Factor will be judged by the members of BuzzJack. Anybody can get involved in each round even if you decide not to enter. However, this season, there's more to the story. Guidance Your chosen artist/group must not have an Artist Forum (Club) on BuzzJack (including solo). Your chosen artist/group must not have appeared in Season 1 or Season 2 of The Pop Factor (see The Pop Factor Encyclopedia). Your chosen artist/group must have a discography comprising at least 14 songs. Your chosen artist/group must be credited as the main artist or only featured artist of any songs chosen. If you are unable to submit a song in any round for your artist/group one will be chosen for you. NEW (for this season only): Your chosen artist/group must be European. As always, the winner of The Pop Factor will receive a prize. And if you make it all the way to the final European destination a treasure chest hidden deep beneath historic ruins awaits alongside the crown and title... *UK/NI only. Alternative for non-UK/NI if possible. Prize will be issued in GBP, illustrative/theme purposes only. There are 36 spaces (12 per category) available for Season 3 of The Pop Factor. More spaces may be added. If there are less than 36 artists entered, we'll proceed with 30 or 33. Registrations should, as always, remain inspired, covering all three categories evenly, and of course, be pop.

Joseph has already bribed me with Drew Campbell pics so he can win the whole thing this season x

(also @Scene, one of each category yes!)

I'll send you some Eurotwinks over I'm sure you'd love to submit

My thoughts exactly Surely they won't make the twist completely dead on arrival by making it Ginge, majority would recognise him from I'm a Celeb (at least)?

Confirmed that someone from the Bov Boys Takeover will be staying in the house as a mole as part of the launch twist and will have to convince the other housemates they are a real housemate I'll watch tonight just to see the housemates out of curiosity but like last series I really don't think I'll be able to stick with it.

That was a pretty great opening episode. Agree that Freddie slotted in really well and seemed like he'd been there the whole time. The spoof of The Piano had me cackling lmao! I'm glad they're still not holding back with Weekend Update (dare I say getting even bolder/braver too?) and some other one-liners throughout.

...to Lee_J11! For correctly guessing ma_danni_x would be the first queen eliminated from Season 8, you've won yourself a widget! Now we wait to find out who'll be the winner of Season 8, the final season of Drag Race UK on the BBC!

@Scene no such rule, up to you if you want to look like a cheap hoe 💅

Lowkey thank god Lucky's gone. Also I'll be in a boat on my own here but KY is really just giving me the ick 😭 what do you mean you're gonna have a moment like that in episode 1 then come back a week later and make being big your entire personality.

Week 2 Mocha - 2-1- Flesh - 3-2- Naya Thorn - 1-3- The Delta Quadrant - 7-4- Alik - 5-5- Coral-Hole Mandi - 6-6- KY Kelly - 4-7- Anita Piss - 9-8- Paris Baby - 12-9- ma_danni_x - 11-10- Tequila Thirst - 8-11- Lucky Roy Singh - 10-12-

Yes, but only one would be allowed. For example if someone confirmed Nick Jonas and someone else confirmed Jonas Brothers, whoever submitted first would be in. All on first come first served basis, so it'll only be when a category's full or there are clashes that we'll need to go to second/third choices.

One from each category needed yes, which is why I want to make sure everybody has suitable second/third choices they will be happy competing with if a category fills up quickly x

Yes x Just before the thread goes live tonight too, I implore people to make sure your second/third choices are artists you can fully get behind too because I'm already sensing riots for one category
