Lindsey.

Yea I don't think it matters with avani, it only throws me when nugget is meant to be older because he looks younger than 18, Oscar I think is absolutely fine, mark less so but I think that's more to do with the fact we saw him as a teenager when he was played by a different actor

Yea they've not addressed it but that comment he made to the girl in the park about the 90s kinda implied to me he's meant to have been born in the 00s so he's probs playing 22/23, I'd guess anyway

It's honestly poor writing to bring in a queer character and think the only way to give them a storyline is to give them a coming out story, especially one where they struggle. The sooner we get rid of Wadey the better tbh.

Are they just gonna put him with Callum with johnny leaving 🙄

I'm obsessed with Nobody Wanna Dance Anymore, it's the only one I've heard from the album as it came up on my release radar but I really need to check out the whole album

Zero idea of how my entry will do as it's not really my usual type of thing but 🤷🏼‍♀️

Ooft can't say I'm surprised at the female and groups results but I thought Lewis may have had another couple of rounds in him at least! Definitely not the worst of that batch imo 😬

I heard Tinashe is representing San Marino in Eurovision next year

Yea they're clearly just doing a Phoebe from Friends with that, it doesn't really make much sense though but that's EastEnders for you these days 🙄

Yea I hope they kill Jerry, I mean it's her fault they're up for murder but Hannah is definitely more of a threat to them. Maybe her saying the traitors are making obvious moves showing they're not confident etc will be enough for them to leave her alone 😅

There's always been cross-over but pop music generally is what's going to have the most cross appeal, what's gonna chart etc. Obviously there's unknown pop artists as well but you can usually liken their style to someone with wider appeal. I guess it's why you have hybrid genre brackets like pop-rock, indie-pop, dance-pop etc - it's just a more "palatable" version of the other label it's joined with.

Pop music by definition is whatever is popular, I don't see an issue with what's been sent on that front although I think the DJ loophole is a bit iffy, at least in this one where it's meant to be European artists but you can have non-European vocalist or even a woman so you're not really sending something representative of your category 😅

Yea I think there will be some nominations for all the names brought up tonight but surely Richard will get the majority (rightfully so). Bella came across really well in this episode actually, I'm enjoying them and Bash as a duo so far. Sharon isn't getting enough screen time though, basically didn't see her after she went in the coffin, nothing at the round table etc but I guess when there's so many of them that's gonna happen.

I've heard good things about the book, the film makes me want to go and read it but it probably won't have the same impact now that I know what happens 😅 I hope the film does the book justice for you and others who have read it!

This film has just come out today, adapted from the 2018 novel by Colleen Hoover. "Lowen Ashleigh (Dakota Johnson) is hired to be a ghostwriter for renowned author Verity Crawford (Anne Hathaway) but her assignment takes a dark turn when she discovers chilling autobiographical notes. As she wrestles with disturbing and twisted confessions about Verity's husband, she soon finds it hard to separate fiction from reality, manipulation from attraction, and opportunity from obsession." I don't wanna say too much about the plot but there are multiple twists that you genuinely don't expect (having not read the book ofc). I didn't really have much to go on going in but I'm sold as soon as I see Dakota Johnson and Anne Hathaway credited, both were outstanding. This was probably my film of the year so far, Obsession pretty close behind. 10/10 would recommend!!

I'm game for a Halloween spin off as well, there's a lot more scope for entries there whereas I think Christmas is very limiting/samey Masquerade and Reinvention are my fave kinda regular spin-offs we've done, I just struggle to host these days otherwise I'd probs have done something

Agree, it's kind of an arrogance? Honestly, if I was a faithful here I'd banish Richard just for saying he's a Traitor, like what a stupid move, especially so early on when they won't have many suspicions 😂 Even if he wasn't a Traitor, he's been so vocal about wanting to be one that it's likely he'd be recruited or framed as one later down the line, smartest thing is to just get rid now. I like Maya but I don't have much confidence in her as a traitor tbh, I'd love to have seen Romesh be picked or even Ross. I'm liking Sharon, Joe and Sebastian, need to see more of Leigh-Anne and Miranda. I knew Romesh would be a fave, there's quite a few people i don't actually know

Gemma is growing on me but I really don't like the rest of them, Nicola is carrying the whole family. I think they could have expanded her world better than they have done. I feel like they're just trying to make tiktok memes from every episode, this one being Gemma's "Mash Mountain" it's giving sausage surprise 😅

Whatever it is Teddy knows about it, maybe they killed someone or something

Isn't Harry meant to be 22/23? So surely a 20 year secret came about after he was born, I really hope they don't make Ned his dad, we have far too many "that's not your dad" storylines at the moment, not to mention we already had that with Barney. What age is Ryder meant to be? He looks like a 40 year old acting like a 20 year old 😂

Okay I'm gonna change my entry LMAO I hope you're ready x NEVERMIND I just realised it was sent to a spin off fml
