Torple

She looks the part; Sam Mitchell without the rotting nose. This evening's episode was suitably mournful. Highlight of course being DAME LAILA MORSE's thespian masterclass, snivelling on the sofa with all the believability of Ben Mitchell pretending to be a heterosexual. A fitting tribute to Dame Pamela.

Big Mo to WIN. Mark Rhodes / Sam Nixon BITCH FIGHT ONSCREEN please.

Perhaps, but it still really isn't a patch on Ab Fab at it's peak. There were plenty of laugh-out-loud moments (Edina and Emma Bunton abusing Lulu being my personal highlight), but they are still too far and few between. There wasn't enough Patsy VITRIOL (best served aimed at Saffy).

01. Coldplay - Every Teardrop Is A Waterfall 02. Lady GaGa - Born This Way 03. Emeli Sande - Heaven 04. Olly Murs - Heart Skips A Beat 05. Chris Brown & Benny Benassi - Beautiful People 06.

I had never watched this before, and only really caught it off the back of Eastenders, but what a pleasant surprise. WONDERFUL. I agree the ending was perhaps a little obvious (as if they were just going to have Irene Adler killed offscreen with a shrug of the shoulders), but it's only a minor quibble.

Well that was WONDERFUL. It would have been nice to see more moments between Pat / Ricky and Pat / Bianca. It did seem that it was all about Janine, David and bizarrely Derek Branning (who enjoyable as he is, wasn't needed in the sense that as far as the viewers are concerned he doesn't really have any history with Pat that anybody cares about). Those final 10 minutes were utterly heart-stopping though, and I've decided I would quite like David Wicks to stick around please. And who knew, Dame Pam St Clement can ACT :o

I ADORED that Zainab moment. After a year of being ground down into nothing, she became a QOL of the highest order again. Bravo to Nina Wadia for an outstanding performance. I was also rather shocked by the whole Denise thing. I really thought that after Phil got her out of the burning B&B that she'd cave in and decide to bury the incriminating evidence.

01. Will Young - Jealousy 02. Adele - Rolling In The Deep 03. Nero - Promises 04. Aloe Blacc - I Need A Dollar 05. Lady GaGa - Judas 06. Jason DeRulo - Don't Wanna Go Home 07. Charlene Soraia - Wherever You Will Go 08. Pitbull - Give Me Everything 09. Calvin Harris - Bounce 10. LMFAO - Party Rock Anthem

Why is she SO intent on using winter as an excuse to dress as a 20 year old HOBO?

That's nice dear, if not strictly on point.

DS are reporting the artists appearing for duets are

HUZZAH. A stone cold failure already! Gavin who killed Shirley Mark I's cat to come LAST please.

HA really?! I'm predicting a Rosa Di Marco / Barry Evans / Annie Palmer top 3.

That's exactly it. Playing the "who's-the-evil-stalker" card doesn't work when the stalker hasn't behaved HALF as badly as Phil himself as. If it does turn out to be someone like , who is going to take realistically take Phil's side?

01. Adele - Someone Like You 02. Taio Cruz & Kylie Minogue - Higher 03. Beyonce - Best Thing I Never Had 04. Lana Del Ray - Video Games 05. Bruno Mars - Marry You 06. JLS - She Makes Me Wanna 07.

01. Coldplay - Every Teardrop Is A Waterfall 02. Noah And The Whale - L.I.F.E.G.O.E.S.O.N. 03. Ed Sheeran - Lego House 04. Jennifer Lopez - On The Floor 05. Chipmunk - Champion 06. Nicole Scherzinger - Don't Hold Your Breath 07. Wiz Khalifa - Black And Yellow 08. Black Eyed Peas - Just Can't Get Enough 09. Nicki Minaj - Super Bass 10. Alexandra Stan - Mr Saxobeat

I would agree. They've been wanting to break the Groups curse for a long time now (and the increasingly desperate and extreme attempts to manufacture groups with each passing year prove it), and it comes at an especially convenient time with Girls Aloud and Sugababes pretty much gone, and the Saturdays looking to be joining them pronto. And they must also know that following Matt Cardle and Joe McElderry, a MOR winner is the LAST thing they need. There couldn't be a better time for a young girl group to win. Having said that I don't think they were necessarily invested in Little Mix from the start. I still believe The Risk were the designated frontrunners to begin with, and I don't think they were fully aware that for the first time they'd created a girl group where each individual member was actually a pretty passable vocalist in their own right. It's only been in the past few weeks (maybe not even until the Don't Let Go moment) that they've cottoned on that a Little Mix victory is actually quite the possibility. Although, frankly how can Little Mix NOT win now what with Tulisa badgering the entire populations of HIGH WYCOMBE and EXETER to pick up their phones and vote.

I wouldn't be against EITHER a Marcus or Little Mix final (and let's face it, who the heck would have predicted this final line-up before the live shows?) I really do think Marcus COULD make it, but he has to be handled very carefully. If he goes down a Bruno Mars type route, he'll be fine. But NO Joe McElderry-goes-gay misfires, NO MOR ballads, and do NOT let him get carried away with himself and start churning out "club classics" from the 1950s. I really DO NOT want Amelia to win this though. Besides the fact that she's essentially Pixie Lott Mark II, I still have an objection to someone winning the show having effectively skipped half of the live shows (through no fault of her own admittedly, but still).

I still love this series. It's not without it's weak points; I haven't found Carol's reaction to Sophia's disappearance convincing at all - beyond her lashing out at Rick, and THAT final scene, she barely seemed bothered. I remember a point in Episode 2 where the others decide to call it a day and continue the search for Sophia the following morning, and she just accepts it with a casual nod. There's also a lack of those proper, big set pieces - we haven't had anything quite like those moments in Series One (Rick riding on his horse into an army of hundreds of zombies, the tank, the Atlanta plague centre, etc.). I definitely see what others have already mentioned about the budget being more thinly spread. On the plus side, I'm glad they're fleshing out the characters beyond Rick. Shane has been amazing pretty much, Daryl's found a proper place amongst the cast, and even Lori is now a sympathetic character in her own right beyond the original plot device/love interest role.

I always get the impression that HIGH WYCOMBE MIX (redhead) isn't feeling it as much as the other three. She seems rather detached. Mark my words, she'll be the new Nadine Coyle.

I have no doubt in my mind that they'd try and pass Pixie Lott's Cry Me Out as a Motown CLASSIC

In fact, FUCK Buble, let's get THE CORRS in for a Celebrity Duet with Misha in the final. Misha can bully Sharon (who was clearly the flimsy one) and Jim can come in wearing a tin foil hat and accuse Gary Barlow of orchestrating 9/11. It will be AMAZING

I've always felt that the contest was missing a CORRS WEEK. Make it happen producers. Misha B to fart out the traditional dubstep breakdown during the So Young bridge please.

I thoroughly APPROVE of Jahq's STRINGENT but NECESSARY measures to expose everybody with silly usernames as the very silly people they ARE. 0/10 couldn't be more appropriate.
