Australian Survivor: I mean Raymond didn't have to use that Advantage at all. He was in an absolutely fine position and at no risk of going home. I understand wanting to make a Resume-making move, but to start playing Survivor on Day 36 isn't a great look and does nothing for him at all.

I too also voted for Black/White. I have to say Gen 1/2/3 back to back when I was a kid was EUPHORIC. I started right when Gen 1 came out with Red. Gen 4 was a huge letdown, but Black/White saved Pokemon for me. Gen 2 I remember playing Japanese Roms that had been translated. Back then, the games would be released in Japan months before coming out in North America (in the case of Gen 2, a full year later). I agree with you, Liam. Rom Hacks with the QOL improvements are a MUST.

I'm not sure if we've done a poll for everyone's favourite Pokemon Generation, at least nothing I've seen since Scarlet/Violet! Vote for your favourite Generation! I know it may be confusing with some generations getting remade on future consoles. Some generations had a 3rd game, while some had nothing. Later generations obviously brought in the DLC - so look at the complete picture and vote for your favourite Pokemon Game! Edit: Maybe don't vote just yet :lol: I can't seem to edit the poll and misread adding Generation 1 as an option. Can a mod please kindly add in :heart: Feel free to vote however if Gen 1 is NOT your favourite mainline game!

@1765020754729398741 House tour, even tho they just slap on a fresh coat of paint every season. I’d love for them to play with the bones of the house a bit more. Oooo an Executive Veto?! *.*

@1764770330927669336 Moment of the night for me I was CRYING with laughter. This group seems fun! Some light drama perhaps. No Joey Essex I see woo-hoo!

The Final Episode AND The Reunion drop this Thursday, so get caught up!

And I’m probably somewhere right in the middle, I played for a few hours and really liked it - but haven’t had the time to be able to commit to a proper playthru (it’s on my list). I’m probably more concerned with this being based on X/Y and not something stronger like Black/White. I honestly can’t think back to anything positive or negative about X/Y it always just seemed like a mid-tier game. But, actually going back, watching a bit of a playthru on Twitch and YouTube. I actually think X/Y was a pretty poor game. Mega Evolutions and the introduction of Fairy types were great, but. I absolutely hated everything to do with Lumiose City. The ugliest city in Pokémon history by far. But Exp Share and them not giving the starters in this generation Mega Evolutions? But the feedback for the first Legends game is so strong I have no doubt it will be amazing.

I am not quite sure why Melfest is so hellbent on these format changes every year. They used to set such a high standard for National Finals. Outside the music this year - I would say this year was a complete flop. Terrible hosting, but they did have one amazing Interval act. However, everything apart from the music this year was PAINFUL. Instead of 5 Semi-Finals, let's go back to 4 Semi-Finals and add that 8th song back into the mix. 5 Semi-Finals was way too much. They toy around with Andra Chansen so much, that I'm not even sure what the right format is anymore. Nobody seems to be happy with anything that happens in Andra Chansen/Second Chance anyways so just SCRAP IT. Make three finalists from each Heat. 4 Semi-Finals. 12 songs in the Final. Done. Final Ranking: 01:Jacqline: a personal favourite of mine this year. Very Dua meets Agnes. I adore this despite not loving the performance. I don't see this winning Melfest or Eurovision but I will take this away as my favourite track this year! 02: Dotter: apart from Cry perhaps this is my least favourite entry of hers, I don't really see this as a Melfest track or winner at all, but as a song I adore this. 03 Maria Sur: this is probably the first track I have listed that I see has potential to win at least Melfest. This was a HUGE step up from last year. I really dig this track, especially the intro. I don't actually see this winning, but a very solid entry. 04: Marcus and Martinus: this should win. I like the performance and I really dig the track. I didn't like Air at all, but this has a ton of potential. 05: Lisa Ajax: I completely slept on Semi-Final 1, but this is great. I feel like Lisa phoned it in with a few of her entries but this was an unexpected treat (it's still doing nothing at the final however). 06: Medina: I much prefer In i dimman. It's a mediocre track that could have been sung by Mendez or Alvaro Estrella. Disappointed really. Also, this is the only non-English song in the final this year?! 07: Cazzi: It's cute, I probably could have put this a bit higher. It's what I expected, but not much more here really. 08: Danny Saucedo: I'm really really surprised that this is the direction he wanted to go down. Dandi Dansa was such a huge step up musically for me. It appears optically Danny is working hard at improving his image and maturity... so to send this... just baffles me. 09: Smash Into Pieces: if this would have landed in a later heat (perhaps AFTER Scarlet even) this wouldn't have gone DTF. Swap this song with Scarlet and the Swedish public wouldn't have looked at this twice. 10: LIAMOO: I actually probably should have swapped this and Danny Saucedo, this wasn't a step down for LIAMOO at least. It's on par with his previous entries.. if not a bit better? 11: Annika: It was cute but I'll never get over this taking a spot from a more deserving entry. 12: Jay Smith: no thanks.

Apparently, this turned out to be very good, but I never finished (on my watchlist). Season 2 is greenlit and just about to start filming. Here are a few names I've seen: Kandy Muse (RPDR) Tiffany Pollard (Again) Richard Hatch (Survivor) Jessie Godderz (Big Brother) Larsa Pippen (RHOM, Traitors) Teresa Giudice (RHONJ)

But the winning song only had 245 points

That makes sense but did we ever establish where those first votes came from?

They didn't both tie on 235???

She has arrived.

I was asking the same thing :blink:

I vote Sweden just send the A*Teens Medley or this Kempe Medley.

@1764005341241761950 Warning: these are quite hard lmao

Marcus & Martinus although sounds just as dated as Danny’s song… this is the clear winner of the contest. That was unforgettable. Miles above everyone else and I was not a fan last year. Great job boys! I’m reluctantly watching the rest of the heat, but I have to say overall, the quality this year was VERY high! A lot of gems, a few fumbles but overall quite a high quality. However, quite predictable who was going to the Final in each heat so it makes it a chore to watch, in my opinion. Que Sera: WHAT A BOP. I loved “In i dimman” and I thought this was just a bit too sweet for me, but fantastic performance.

@1763938752278278445 I’m so tired just put Effortless on Spotify so I can goto bed please.

No doubt the longer this went on the more predictable it became. Intense start to the season, okay mid-season but starting to lose steam at the end, however, the ending should be exciting because I have NO idea what’s going to happen for the Finale. I’m openly rooting for Sandra to win and if she continues to clock Kate, it could happen! A final 3 maybe of Kate, Sandra and CT with the Sandra/CT win, I’d be very happy.

Rehearsal clips are out, it’s over. M&M have this in the bag 10000000%. Looks epic!!!

@1763013221923864891 Except for on the journey when she folded her arms and told the boys to tell the truth. That was Mom with a Capital M. Probably my favourite moment of the night. Love her already.

Final Heat Clips are out, Marcus and Martinus have this on lock. Didn’t like them last year, I doubt I will favour this. But it does sound very good, I have no doubt they will win Melfest this year.

She’s filming The Traitors US Reunion, films on Friday I believe.
