Calum

First up tonight, it's the GROUPS... Through to the next round are... and...

3 more artists will be eliminated from the competition tonight, making Amsterdam their last stop. But for the remaining 30 artists, it's time to find out where they'll be heading next on The Pop Factor's European Adventure...

No spoilers please x

7:00pm Find out the next stop on the European Adventure. The theme for the next round will be revealed. Three artists are eliminated from the competition.

She'll Be the One and If I Told You a Story both being released on streaming at midnight too!!

Or maybe they could stop fanwanking over Rochelle with the edit and actually give us some context/background as to why there appears to be so many fractured relationships in the house... Why did everybody suddenly dislike Pauline? Why do Johanne and Frankie not get on? We'll likely never get the background now and only see the fallout.

With this headline cropping up today regarding the BBC heavily editing (and removing) episodes of Horrible Histories from iPlayer in light of some of the content being deemed unsuitable, it's reignited something inside me that's been really sad and disappointed for quite a while now that it feels like we're slowly heading down a path of media being erased from existence whenever some loud voices decide they're not happy with it or that it offends them. Other examples (primarily looking at the BBC alone): Huw Edwards being edited out of an episode of Doctor Who (meaning the episode was removed from iPlayer for some time before being added again) An episode of Still Game being removed completely from BBC iPlayer after a guest actor in the episode was convicted of sexual assault Sketches within episodes of That Mitchell and Webb Look being removed, with the BBC citing they 'don't work' Sketches within episodes of Little Britain being removed An episode of The Sarah Jane Adventures was withheld and edited before being added to BBC iPlayer due to cultural inaccuracies (despite the fiction of it all) The BBC in particular seem to be a prime example of a business that are very reactionary, and only really sit up and take notice of things when it might look bad if they do nothing, or simply to appease some people. But where do we draw the line at making edits to TV shows, films, and other forms of media when you're never going to be able to please everybody, or there's always going to be somebody, somewhere that will find something that they don't like? I say this as a fan of the show too (and being able to appreciate it as something that is very much of its time and could absolutely not be made today), but the fact that Gimme Gimme Gimme is still available in its entirety on BBC iPlayer, yet edits are made to other shows or episodes are removed completely purely because something happens or something is said to trigger it, really baffles me. Let's pat ourselves on the back for responding to concerns about x or y, but let's not actually do a deep dive into our catalogue on iPlayer and take the time to look at what might be perceived in 2026 as inappropriate... What happens to Series 2 (and some of Series 1) of Doctor Who if anything further happens with Noel Clarke following allegations/charges brought against him? Will there be any consistency from the BBC? Are there any other examples of this that people are aware of? Do you agree with decisions to heavily edit/remove media when it's deemed offensive or there are certain parts of it or people in them that are deemed inappropriate/have the potential cause upset?

The fact that she stood there and couldn’t even quote the parts of the conversation that were actually relevant word for word, and later said that if she misheard she’d apologise… before even asking for any context or clarification because she’d rather continue trying to make Johanne and Pauline look bad says it all. Pauline hasn’t been coming across great at all the last few episodes, but my god. Anybody who persists acting like Rochelle is great entertainment, queen, mother, iconic really needs to check themselves. She’s just a horrible, nasty woman.

Shame it's not Rhianna... but yeah Charlotte's looked like she hasn't wanted to be there for a while now, constantly miserable and just not really integrating much.

For me that was probably one of the worst Rusicals. Ru just flat out lying to them all saying every one of them were fantastic and KY winning with that absolute horror show of a runway? I don't think. Also I am SO here for the timed challenge from season 3 returning next week

Love that the crowd aren't taking her shit coming for Johanne

Why are they doing the MOST to get it over with as quickly as possible lmfao? Let her know just how insufferable her and her posse have been x

All the whispering this series is really getting on my tits. As much as I love him, Philip's always there when it's happening too

"Still to come, Omar and Rhianna have a lover's tiff"

Producers to find a way to keep that leaderboard and give her 50 points for the fun of it 🙏

Omg the contrast in boos and cheers between Chelsey and Pauline is gonna make that group QUAKE
