Bloc party

Ooooh will aim to start mine asap Remind me - is there a set format I need to follow for posts or am I good to freestyle?

I can’t with these predictions! I’ve also had a wide mix! Watch me finish 30th or something like that in my semi

Poor Liam Lawson - think it was me who left the comment saying he should never have been put in the Red Bull seat so soon On a purely superficial level, his glow up this season turned my head!

BJSC 181 - Mia Wray Last contest we finally broke our NQ streak for female led pop songs! Let's try another... We held a national poll, with 3 amazing songs from 3 amazing singer/songwriters.

Congrats to the winner. At first I was scared I wouldn't give Marina points, but then it grew on me :)

Glad to see I bounced back a bit

Oh dear, the come down is real!

Hoping for top half :) Bring on the results

I do similar - first listen gets rid of anything I really don’t like. Then 3-4 songs get eliminated after each listen Side note - fully expect Valencia to qualify (and she should) but it’s not as instant to me as the two songs I’ve sent of hers in the last few months

If First Aid Kit doesn’t make it out of SF2 I will be more fuming than if my own song doesn’t qualify!

Just did my first listen through! Where the pop at?!!!

Oh a song I adore is in SF2! It had better qualify!

Insert standard Herbilore comment about the randomisation doing us over when sending a pure pop song….

Should have known that Valencia song would get chosen! I was considering it for this contest!

Voted - that was hard

I mean personally I think being slightly arrogant can sometimes serve you very well on the Traitors. It can also put you at risk but the whole point of the game is to put potential traitors under pressure and find them out

I’m still at 22 songs….

Sorry rambling tonight as I did 3 episodes Oh Harriet. So I didn’t like her first couple of episodes and thought her and James were just too chaotic with theories. Also got a slight Karen vibe from Harriet She then turned it around with her spot on observations and the great confession scene. Only to undo it all and be quite nasty in her last episode. Saying that I was genuinely shocked it blew up in her face!

Oh yes the Jade backstory was horrible to hear - it explains a lot about the type of person she is, or at least that’s the impression she got I’ve just watched the BBC sounds clip and the second envelope was (partially) opened to reveal that Ross and Ellie are together Other than Judy and Roxy, I wonder if that means there are no other connections? Unless Stephen’s name is actually Jason!

I’m also not in full agreement that Matt came across badly today - he just went with his gut. People are being swayed too much by emotion

Genuinely loved Stephen and Rachel tonight. They (Rachel) in particular have been so clever I think the chance has for Matt to be recruited now - although he’d have been easy to throw under the bus

Taio Steps is my fave but I never expected it to last long here!
