It really depends on what the general mood is surrounding "owning" music.

The comment may have more to do with the extent to which he got attacked for things not to do with the actual contest (the political stuff), which everyone who decided not to withdraw sadly had to deal with.

It is a delicate balance. They would have been wrong to neglect the UK & Europe for America.

Starmer's having to inherit the mess the Tories caused. I also think there's many that just want him to fail regardless. Also, it's a MailOnline poll. Not exactly unbiased.

I particularly admire Mark Clattenburg's approach of telling off the Gladiators like they're part of a rebellious school class.

I think Kingfisher might be Grayson Perry.

The seer thing dampened the final from a TV perspective. Alexander sadly sealed his fate with that final Round Table.

Minah was doing so well but she seemed to slip up as soon as Charlotte came on board. She was naive to think she'd be a similar Traitor to Linda.

The only mobile game I play regularly is Royal Match.

It'd have been more surprising if he didn't. Oh well. I guess he'll be able to get away with murder now.

I'm glad to hear this. I think he's the best of the comedians to have hosted it over the years. Considering it's not an easy job for them. :D

A "pause" doesn't fill me with much confidence.

Their reactions on Uncloaked about Charlotte's accent. :D I did feel Alexander got it in the neck a bit unfairly.

She did get two #1 singles in 2014 though. When she returned in 2018 I felt like she basically gave up after Love Made Me Do It.

Bear could be the rapper/comedian Doc Brown?

Wolf could be Luke Evans? Sounds a bit like him.

The bit with Linda at the breakfast table made me laugh for the fact none of them bought it. :D

I honestly thought you were joking. At this point I don't think we should humour Liz Truss...

The boys did Carpool Karaoke for Comic Relief in 2017 and had a segment where they tried to promote their music in the states: PWmVN4dZZgE

I'm warming to Dan. His point to Jake about everyone being out for themselves wasn't popular but he wasn't far wrong. I wish he defended Kas a bit more. With the treatment of Kas and the general thing of talking behind people's backs and targeting them, I really should hate this show, but I don't. I guess I'm lucky enough to be able to make the distinction.

People setting fire to a hotel can't have come about as a result of this. I don't doubt that people were angry but those who actually cared didn't go and do that.

My pessimistic prediction is that the far right (the extreme kind) becomes more powerful across the world, thanks to Trump.

Musk seems untouchable. Boris Johnson's antics may have caught up with him but the likes of Trump and Musk seem to be immune.

The Way to Amarillo was absolutely everywhere that year. School discos, pantos etc.

The cliffhanger is certainly an interesting choice. I'm thinking Gregory Porter for Dressed Crab too.
