Chelsey’s face at Johanne being immune

Need everyone to chant for that group of four out on Friday no matter who's up for eviction. Absolutely rotten.

Pauline - 1-1- Johanne - 8-2- Philip - 2-3- Frankie - 4-4- Yasmin - 10-5- Rob - 7-6- Samuel - 6-7- Rochelle - 16-8- Charlotte - 12-9- Harry - 15-10- Omar - 14-11- Lynx - 11-12- Rhianna - 13-13- Chelsey - 9-14- OUT Millie - 5-x Tays - 3-x That bottom four are vile. Harry and Charlotte only really climbing by default because the former has barely said a word since launch night and Charlotte just doesn't do very much lol.

Just caught up on the last two episodes, and my god Jedward coming in and reading that group of vile cretins to absolute FILTH was everything Need Chelsey gone asap. Proper disgusting little mean girl. Trying to isolate people and make their experience lesser because she thinks if you have a disagreement with someone those you're friendly with should have nothing to do with them either... come back down to reality please. Says a lot when that whole group somehow manage to make themselves look 1000x worse than Rochelle did all of last week. Johanne and Pauline must be protected at all costs

Tabby Stoecker (currently on Strictly) joining for series 4 too, unsure if it’s as a guest gladiator or permanent!

GROUPS Hallo, welkom in Amsterdam! The second stop on The Pop Factor's European Adventure brings us to the liberal, progressive, cannabis-selling city of Amsterdam in the Netherlands. Home to the house of Anne Frank, the Red Light District, many a bicycle route, and the Van Gogh Museum, this will be the last stop for some groups. Eleven have landed safely, but only ten will continue on the adventure to the next location and venue. Singing for their place in the competition, let's welcome the groups to the Ziggo Dome stage to audition again for 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 11 (least favourite) For those voting who have entered one of the groups into the competition, you should rank all eleven 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 ten 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 28 September 2026, 17:59 BST So give a round of applause for our groups and let's find out what they're performing for their ARENA AUDITION... 01 02 03 04 05 06 07 08 09 10 11 Standard list of entries: Fontaines D.C. - Jackie Down the Line iamamiwhoami - chasing kites Sade - Your Love is King New Order - Age of Consent Years & Years - All For You Ultravox - The Voice Texas - I Don't Want a Lover M83 - Kim & Jessie Vengaboys - 1999 (I Wanna Go Back) Bananarama - Look on the Floor (Hypnotic Tango) Depeche Mode - Ghosts Again Spotify playlist coming soon!
