'21' is back up to 9, and '19' is at 22. Adele owns everything.

Easily The Malones. No idea how they made it this far!

X Factor Series 12 • Spoilers
Well that was sung last week, so it's a bit late to be moaning about it now ;)

Project Runway / All-Stars / Junior / Under the Gunn
Really looking forward to next week. Love the avant garde challenges, and from the preview, it looks insane. It looks like someone actually creates a building costume, so takes the "take your inspiration from New York's structure" waaaaaay too literally. Swapnil deserved to go this week. He treated his model so badly and I coudn't believe it when they lifted the back and he'd literally tied a knot in it to keep it on. That is appalling. I absolutely hated Ashley's dress. That print was just awful, and I agreed that it completely cut her model up with all the layering around the waist. As much as it pains me to say it, Candice's outfit was awful too. She really did look like a cheap hooker, and the blue fabric matching the blue clip in hair extensions was tragic. Kelly's was by far the best. It was simple, but cool and fit the brief exactly. She deserved the win. Also, I thought Kelly looked incredible with her big hair and oversized suit jacket on. That's the first time I've seen her looking almost glam and it really suited her. Surely next week is the last time Tim can use the save? I've never known him to use it this close to the final before. With the way it's going, I think Ashley could go next. She's just not cutting it at all, but I'm not convinced Tim would actually save her anyway. Oh and GO TIM by the way! He gave Swapnil what for and it was awesome! The "go and pack up your things" moment was cold too. Not even an effort to say bye or we'll miss you. Tim was extremely annoyed at him.

American Horror Story: Hotel
I enjoyed it too. It looked gorgeous and Gaga was fine. Some of the characters have potential too. We'll see how it goes.

American Horror Story: Hotel
Apparently that's deliberate and we'll find out why in the next episode.

The Good Wife
Absolutely loved that episode. It was amazing and reminded me just why this is my favourite show on TV.

America's Next Top Model 2018 | Cycle 24
I think Devin will stay. They seemed to be saying they almost liked the comical aspect of his shot, whereas Justin got no positive feedback at all. Which is just ridiculous. Devin is one of the most annoying models they've had on the show for years. Clearly he's not appealing to the bookers either, seeing as he only booked 1 of them. He's done and needs to go.

Project Runway / All-Stars / Junior / Under the Gunn
Yeah that annoyed me too. Spend every minute of every episode reminding them to be thinking outside the box, fashion forward, creative, inspiring bla bla bla, but the only way to win this challenge was to make the cheapest, most mass-market friendly outfit possible. Also, that dress is available in literally any colour, from any fashion retailer in the world. There was not one thing about it that was unique. That episode was extremely stupid.

Round 5: Gogglebox Families • Least Favourite
Can't believe I didn't know about this rate. Always late to the party. Sigh. Went for the Michaels. I don't find them amusing at all. Everyone else that's left, apart from The Malones, are fantastic. Shame Steph and Dom haven't been in this series as much, as when they're on form they're incredible. The Moffats, Chris and Stephen and Jenny and Lee are my absolute favourites.

Project Runway / All-Stars / Junior / Under the Gunn
This was the first week I didn't really like Candice's look, which is disappointing, as she's still by far my favourite. Ashley's jacket was really cute and would have been a worthy winner but it was fairly obvious the dress was going to win. It can be reproduced for next to no money and sold on for huge profits. That was a pure moneymaking challenge - nothing to do with creativity or execution. Now, about Kelly, I think she's a riot. So funny and 100% batshit crazy in terms of design aesthetic but I absolutely hated that look. It was honestly like something a 10 year old would be wearing in 1985. It was just beyond awful.

America's Next Top Model 2018 | Cycle 24
Some of the shots this week were gorgeous!! Namely Nyle and Lacey. Both stunning. That ending was really annoying. Like anyone really cares which of those two gets eliminated. It's hardly a massive cliffhanger seeing as they're both overdue the boot at this stage.

The FINAL • Buzzjack's Ultimate TV Show
Jesus what an odd list. There's probably at least 20 shows that I'd consider absolutely amazing that aren't on this, and at least 30 shows that are just bizarre choices.

Well, here goes. +40 The Good Wife +39 Friends +38 Lost +37 Breaking Bad +36 Absolutely Fabulous +35 American Horror Story +34 The Vicar of Dibley +33 Homeland +32 Project Runway +31 Will & Grace +30 Desperate Housewives +29 The X Factor UK +28 Broadchurch +27 Orange is the New Black +26 America's Next Top Model +25 America's Got Talent +24 Sherlock +23 The Inbetweeners +22 Eurovision Song Contest +21 Melodifestivalen +20 Top Of The Pops +19 Dancing On Ice +18 Celebrity Juice +17 Britain's Got Talent +16 RuPaul's Drag Race +15 Little Britain +14 Ugly Betty +13 The Apprentice UK +12 Gogglebox +11 Hell's Kitchen +10 Fawlty Towers +09 Gavin & Stacey +08 Alan Carr’s Chatty Man +07 Celebrity Big Brother +06 Keeping Up Appearances +05 The Graham Norton Show +04 Family Guy +03 South Park +02 QI +01 Glee

I'm finding this too. Really frustrating.

Straw poll - Adele v One Direction
It's a tricky one to predict for Adele. Obviously album sales are in the gutter at the moment, so suggesting she'll get upwards of 200k in her first week seems ludicrous on the face of it. However, that opening week of 208k wasn't 21's biggest week, and it came at a really quiet time of the year. It did over 250k a while later, and coming off the back of a near 5 million selling album, I'd say there were at least 200 - 300k people waiting to buy this as soon as it's out. Factor in the naturally bigger album sales market in the month before Christmas, and it's maybe not so outrageous to think she'll get more than that. I think even more interesting will be the opening week in the US. There are acts that can still pull several hundred thousand in their first week, so surely she must be looking at upwards 750k. I'm sure it's perfectly possible she'll sail over a million actually.

Loved Candice's outfit, it was fantastic. Laurie's though? Good god, that was atrocious. I could see where Ashley wanted to go with her dress, but her execution was dreadful, especially at the back. The judges seem to love Edmond, though I find him very safe. Those pants were killer though, especially as they were allegedly his very first pair. They were perfect. Other than him (which would be hugely disappointing), I can't see anyone other than Candice winning this.

America's Next Top Model 2018 | Cycle 24
Nyle and Lacey are untouchable so far. I feel like this season is Lacey's to lose really. She's been excellent at pretty much everything so far and is completely normal (and actually a very nice person).

'I Am' • Fifth Album
Who are you to say that though? Surely we can if it's our opinion? I personally don't feel that the songs she has written are anywhere near as strong as those written by proven songwriters. I also think one of her strengths is interpreting other's songs, which is incidentally where some of her very best vocal performances have come from. Also, it would be extremely naive to think that song doesn't play a huge part in that video's popularity. It's one of the biggest songs of the year.

'I Am' • Fifth Album
I am OBSESSED with that. The vocals are just insane. They absolutely need to record that, it's incredible.

I love it, it's amazing. The vocal is great!

'I Am' • Fifth Album
Then out next week, never to be seen again. It probably won't even make it past 15k in total. How grim.
-
'I Am' • Fifth Album
At least it actually charted though!

Avengers: Age Of Ultron
Watched it for the 3rd time and still loved it. I think they have the perfect cast for those parts. Thor is all kinds of incredible. That is all.

Gaga still climbing. Up to 44 now. I'm pleased it's doing well for something that won't be promoted anywhere.
