Wow this will be really harsh. Electroboy was right in his reply earlier, it actually is even more harsh than the version in the show!

Oh I'd completely forgotten this was even a thing on the show... in retrospect it was really quite a cruel thing to do to the contestants!

There are too many 10s in this list

Oh but of course!

Sadly I don’t think you’re his type. Calvin says: I am not a RobBotBot

Too many great iamamiwhoami songs to choose just one before Thursday?

Argh I feel like I’m on the Traitors! I can neither confirm nor deny until Calum tells me otherwise!

I would have no idea how to play this round! It seems like a tough balance given getting through doesn’t yet guarantee anyone a place in the live show rounds, no wonder people feel a bit uncertain around their choices

Oh bugger. I really didn't want Bella to leave. And Miranda, stop being so right around Maya!!

Miranda is proving to be really rather perceptive so far, I'm impressed.

Well she is 5’ 4”

I think that Jade could be behind Kate Bush tbh I definitely think that Marina is Lindsey, I don’t even know why but I associated the two of them the moment she was revealed.

I didn’t take part but I’m pretty certain I’d have given top points to Conceived. Beth Orton is such an underrated talent and that single is one of her loveliest - it’s on my favourites playlist <3

No need to apologise! You confirmed it way before I did so really not even slightly bothered. Maybe slightly jealous but that's a different matter! Hope it does really well for you!

I definitely think Marina will be there... she's an act that a lot of people on Buzzjack grew up following and they often tend to hold more emotional weight for people. Couple that with an appeal to both pop and alt fans and it's a really strong mix

I'm very relieved for Damien Rice, I too would have sent Amie and I really thought it would be easily safe so I was really surprised to see it bottom of so many people's votes.

PHEW!

GUTTED about M83! Although it was a brave choice, I did think it may be just a little too alt leaning for a contest in the pop forum. Sad for Dido also - she was one of my favourites in the group, it's just a shame that the theme didn't play to her strengths </3

If there was someone else in contention then I’m 99% sure they’d have started to show the votes. The producers of this show are all about the tension and they choose the moment that will leave the public talking, it’s telling that they think on this occasion that moment is before any of the votes are revealed

01 iamamiwhoami - shadowshow 02 New Order - Love Vigilantes 03 Years & Years - Ties 04 Depeche Mode - Photographic 05 M83 - Lower Your Eyelids to Die With the Sun 06 Sade - Pearls 07 Fontaines D.C. - Sundowner 08 Ultravox - Accent on Youth 09 Texas - Like Lovers (Holding On) 10 Bananarama - Bad For Me

I dunno... I can see where they were coming from with that - at least it has some semblance of logic to it in terms of wanting to be ready for something. To be fair to the cast this year, there were some well thought out points tonight. I loved Hannah's point about the traitors making decisions from a place that wasn't comfortable, really well observed.

Oh Richard is definitely going, and deservedly so. The decision around who to murder/recruit was bad - his reasons for defence were also really poor. He would be such a liability for the other two if he stayed that I'd vote for him whether I was faithful or traitor. Poor James is in such a difficult position, he really needs to vote for Richard tonight or it will be too much of a turnaround from what he was previously saying to people.

I would be so bad at this game. It makes me weirdly nervous just watching people on tv be traitors, constantly a bit edge that they will slip up, so there's no way I could do it myself!

We're running a little behind but this is what I just said I would do, invite who I actually wanted and then invite Ross with no intention of keeping him

I thought this was a really strong selection and I've been struggling to order them, so in the end I've decided to separate them by how well I think the choice suits the theme Calum requested. 01 Adele - Can I Get It - great pick tbh, I think this would have worked really well as a single and would have stood out as something different in her catalogue. 02 Robyn - Time Machine - Not my favourite album track of hers but I do think it's a good choice for this category as the huge chorus was made to be a single, I wonder if Max Martin would have expected it to be one 03 Leona Lewis - Outta My Head - This has definitely dated a bit but a really strong choice for a track that was commercial and would have showcased a different style from her 04 Agnes - Loaded - Strong choice! I didn't know this one but definitely thought it had a commercial edge, thought the chorus soared. 05 Kate Bush - Reaching Out - I originally had this a bit lower but I've moved it up, on reflection I think the strings and chorus make for something that would have worked as a single from the era. 06 Marina - Teen Idle - Strong choice, I definitely used to want this to be a single back when the album was released. 07 Zara Larsson - Blue Moon - Probably my favourite of the Zara choices to date, can see why it would work as a single. 08 Jessie Ware - The Kill - I absolutely love this as a song but I'm marking it down because I think it was a promotional single of sorts? I remember it being promoted and sent out at the time with the club mix and everything... It even has an official video! I feel like it pushes the boundary too much of what was intended here but I shall no doubt be fully back on board next round! 09 Dido - Mary's In India - I quite like this but I don't think it works very well for the theme unfortunately - I'd have rather seen something like See The Sun, I always thought that was the single that should have been from Life For Rent. 10 Sophie Ellis-Bextor - New York City Lights - I don't really like this one to be honest, I think there were stronger choices from this album like If You Go and that's before considering any other albums.
