Calum

Dunno if it’s trolling or not but one apparently mid 40s guy called Keith lmao

Two new housemates going in on Friday after the eviction apparently.

Would rival Dylan/Paul double for best eviction ever if Rochelle miraculously ended up evicted to be honest x

Johanne - 8-2-1- Frankie - 4-4-2- Philip - 2-3-3- Pauline - 1-1-4- Yasmin - 10-5-5- Samuel - 6-7-6- Lynx - 11-12-7- Rob - 7-6-8- Harry - 15-10-9- Rhianna - 13-13-10- Omar - 14-11-11- Rochelle - 16-8-12- OUT Charlotte - 12-9-x Chelsey - 9-14-x Millie - 5-x Tays - 3-x

Rochelle threatening physical violence and discussing nominations on more than one occasion, Frankie damaging the house, Lynx's body language being intimidating and threatening, but no the line is drawn at Johanne getting slightly heated...

Oh f*** off LMAO. Johanne given a formal warning?! Please.

And of course they're showing all of this yeah pack it up, it was good while it lasted

Literally the worst possible outcome. If Johanne's gone I'll be dipping out of this series lmao

Ah but she's just a precious perfect fragile innocent white woman being bullied, didn't you know? xo

Tracklist: She's the Best Canada Dry Party I Do This For You Cowboy Embarrassingly Le Boy Sex Star Troye Meets World FF Love So Big It Hurts Lost Time (feat. Lily Rose Depp)

Playlists are now live in the OPs (for some reason can't find a way to get the AM ones to embed though)

Dunno if I can be bothered to catch up on this now having missed last night's episode. Production definitely want Rochelle to be painted as a saint and in there as long as possible/winning the whole thing. And then seeing all of the casual biphobia jumping out on Twitter re Frankie... ugh. Like, tell me what you would do if you still weren't comfortable sharing part of yourself with a group of people you've known for a couple of weeks and the one person you likely would've opened up to is gone? I get the feeling he's either just saying he still has a girlfriend because it's easier than explaining why things ended and having to open up to people about that, or he does still have one and it's just rocky after he's told her? Like, why is it such an issue for people to wrap their heads around?

The Tasteless Ones™ coming out now x

Thanks @pavi for providing AM playlists! (if a lot of people do use AM as opposed to Spotify happy to start including those in the OPs going forward… if Pav is happy to keep making them )

I don’t think it’s fair to say focus tracks should be avoided, because by that metric anything from an album Spotify decided to give focus on playlists during an album’s release would be disqualified and that just opens up a can of worms that isn’t really worth opening (and that personally I do not care to research x)

Now why would you be researching Sam Fender songs? x

Not in the UK, but I did research and it charted somewhere in the world (Estonia?). Smash hit x

Leona may have missed a flight in 2010 but the groups missed a horse and carriage x

Charted, but wasn’t a single

GROUPS Viva España! After two stops in the Netherlands, it's time to move just over 900 miles south-west to Barcelona, in Spain, for Boot Camp: Part One. Shawn Mendes is already donning his Barcelona FC top (which may or may not also carry a hint to a future themed round on our European Adventure). With the backdrop of the Sagrada Familia it's time for the remaining ten groups to really flex their creative muscles because the theme for Boot Camp: Part One is They Should've Been Singles. Only nine groups will make it to Boot Camp: Part Two and the next location and venue, but for now let's welcome the groups back who are once again hoping to impress you, the voting BuzzJack public! How it works: Once you have listened to all of the groups perform you should post a ranking of each of the performances. You can rank them from best to worst (making clear which is your favourite down to least favourite), or use the template below: 01 (favourite) 02 03 04 05 06 07 08 09 10 (least favourite) For those voting who have entered one of the groups into the competition, you should rank all ten performances in your own category (however it's encouraged that you vote in all categories), and when scores are totalled your entry will be removed from your list to retain anonymity in the competition. As always, even if you are not competing in The Pop Factor you can vote too! When voting closes, the nine groups with the highest scores will proceed to the next round while ONE group will be eliminated from the competition and will not be going through. However, the competition doesn't end there. Any artists eliminated from the competition - until stated - will be eligible to compete for the chance to return and claim The Gamu Nhengu Gold Card. Voting will close on Monday 5 October 2026, 17:59 BST So, without further ado, it's time to put the groups through their paces at BOOT CAMP... 01 02 03 04 05 06 07 08 09 10 Standard list of entries: New Order - Love Vigilantes M83 - Lower Your Eyelids to Die With the Sun Fontaines D.C. - Sundowner iamamiwhoami - shadowshow Ultravox - Accent on Youth Bananarama - Bad For Me Depeche Mode - Photographic Sade - Pearls Texas - Like Lovers (Holding On) Years & Years - Ties IMPORTANT: Texas' song for Boot Camp: Part One - Like Lovers (Holding On) - is not available on Spotify. Please ensure you listen to this song via the YouTube link above. This week, awardinary will be hosting a listen-through session for Boot Camp: Part One in Barcelona on Thursday 1 October at 19:00 BST. More information will be shared before the session begins, but if you'd like the opportunity to listen to all of the performances with others please feel free.
