Don't actually know how many spots are up either. Could be a race for just 1 act to return!

HRVY and his pits going through!

Or just ejected for not being Pop

Shame to lose them though... the groups got even less interesting - they're also one of the few actual POP acts in the groups too. But saying that - I did put them last as it was an awful cover

idk, I think the Venga bus may have crashed off a cliff

Ha I was thinking the same thing 🤣

Good to see Years and Years through!

Hello Adele's mentor 🤣

Fingers crossed it isn't ballads

Oooh Theme

That's a rollercoaster of ranking numbers

Johanne commenting on Frankie is probably an extension of her comments from the other ep - she was going on about Frankie being fake/ being emotionally unstable. Not being able to really account for why he is on the show/ basically not feeling real or giving eye contact. I guess the last 2 weeks are fresh in my mind as I binged everything yesterday! Sort of seems to me though, that as great as Johanne is as a HM, she does basically sit there and pick everyone else apart. She clearly doesn't really like anyone aside from Pauline. However... Frankie feels like in a bit of an odd situation - I wonder if his plan was to go in and come out in the first week, but hasn't been able to. So is now just bottling everything up - and no doubt now exploding this evening.

Frankie the next HM to lose their shit...

Wolfy Mark 2

I think it would be a shame to lose Dido based on that song - I actually thought it was fairly good as it built up across the track. Also always feel album tracks are a brave move to do - possibly its easier for the Groups/ Males as a lot of voters don't seem to know a lot of their output. Whilst the Females feels more competitive - although long term might not be good as they're having to shred through big hitters each time. Saying that, I thought the Zara track sounded extremely dated and the production wasn't great - so was surprised to see a load of top rankings for it. I guess its good to have a spread of different votes.

If Dido and Vengaboys go, does that make it a HAIMsandwich?

Actually don’t think anyone came away from that argument well. I think unless there are noms tinkering, or something massively changes, it will be Pauline vs Johanne for eviction

I'm at the argument now... defo feel like Rhianna is going to be the last female HM standing at this rate

On tonight eps now... Pauline giving Tayce in the DR

I've basically spent the day catching up/ watching all the eps this series... (no judgement :D) but I think he felt comfortable with Tays and his plan may have been to find someone who he was comfortable with and then come out to them. However, Tays then went and he probably hasn't found anyone else that he can say to it. Watching Fridays (?) ep and Johanne was talking about him saying his basically an emotional mess. He's probably over-thinking everything and building up coming out - so must be majorly affecting his time. Kinda hoping he has the courage to just say it and then can enjoy the rest of his experience without it basically hanging over him. He has been quiet since Tays left really.

I imagine Pauline, Johanne and Rochelle will get the bulk of noms, and Rhianna too, although Chelsey going might actually help her in the long run Shocking really Lynx didn't get more noms last time given how much he switched; but he seems to have settled down now. Can see Rob probably picking up a few - whilst he seems harmless, he seems grating to live with.

There’s also big drops for ‘Never Enough’ which drops 23-49 and ‘Blue Lights’ which slides 27-48. There are some good climbs though for a few songs; ‘Say You Do’ climbs from 105 to 74 and ‘Unstoppable’ climbs from 101 to 63, ‘Treat You Better’ also has a strong finish as it climbs 76 to 57. Should also be noted that we do have 1 song which gained a nomination, but no points in the actual vote. Poor, brave ‘Tuesday’.

Drake) - Work 216 21 ** Twenty One Pilots - Heathens 216 These are the would-be Auto-qualifyers for next year, however ever song from 2016 will be out of the running next year. There are some big drops from last years Semi-Finalisrs though, the biggest being ‘On Hold’ which drops from last years 6th place to 30 this year! There’s also drops for ‘Vroom Vroom’, ‘Stressed Out’ and ‘The Sound’ – all of which lose their semi-finalist positions. Some good climbs though for sounds outside last years top 40, most notably ‘Aint My Fault’ which is currently polarising opinions on the Pop Factor climbs from 96 to 31, there are also climbs for ‘Shelter’ which rises from 54-40, ‘Don’t Let Me Down’ climbs from 43-39 and ‘Send My Love’ climbs from 56-37. ‘Blow Your Mind’ has a strong showing as it rises from 51-36 and ‘Pink + White’ rises from 45 to 33. ‘Heathens’ is the highest new entry this year and stall in 21st place, finishing 7pts away from a semi-finalist position.

There are a couple of new/ returning faces to the semi-final line-up as ‘Love On The Brain’ climbs from 39 to 17 to make it 2 Rihanna songs in the semis. There’s also clumbs from ‘Work From Home’ which rises from 29 to 11 and ‘Tears’ which climbs from 28 to 10 – managing to slip in front of Rockabye for Clean Bandit this year. There’s also a big climb for ‘Secret Love Song’ which rises from 26 to 7 and also ‘Faded’ which rises from 16 to 6 and finishes 25pts behind the top 5. There are some songs which slide out of the top 10, ‘Charlemagne drops from 7 to 16 and ‘Cheap Thrills’ slides from 8 to 14. There is a big fall for ‘This Girl’ which finished 3rd in this heat last year and was an automatic finalist, this year it slides 12 places to 15 as a certain song which went viral this year takes a big, big climb… Finalists 05 12 Zara Larsson - Lush Life 358 04 05 Weeknd (feat. Daft Punk) - I Feel It Coming 359 03 02 Christine And The Queens - Tilted / Christine 384 02 04 Weeknd (feat. Daft Punk) - Starboy 396 01 01 Ariana Grande - Into You 483 ‘Lush Life’ takes a massive 7 place climb this year as it rises from 12th place to 5th place and goes directly through to the final round. I guess not too much of a surprise given its had a massive resurgence this year. The Weeknd still has 2 songs in the top 5 and both climb; I Feel it Coming rises from 5 to 4 and ‘Starboy’ rises from 4 to 2. ‘Tilted’ drops a place from 2 to 3, but its ‘Into You’ which remains dominant for 2016. In fact it finishes 87pts ahead of 2nd place and gained votes from all bar 10 voters.
