Oh yeah that cleaning charge was an absolute joke. But I loved their house more than I loved them. Babe and Bondi's was great too, and they did a good job of tarting up the back garden for the finale.

Oops. I've never opened that thread as I don't think I've ever watched another Australian reality show. But this one's so iconic it needs it's own thread anyway. Mikey and Shay were unbelievably vile to everyone at their judging. It was an absolute car crash. Especially considering the critiques were valid. That house was awful. I lived when they were invited back to judge the finale. Brent and Leroy too. I got the major cringe at them. They set themselves up for a fail, being so high and mighty, but I didn't expect their place to be such a let down. I was really happy with the winners too. I had major house envy, it was stunning.

Saara was absolutely amazing - even more so when we found out she'd just fell on her head before they went on and was clearly in pain afterwards. She might have had a bloody concussion. James and Wes were obviously brilliant too and I'm surprised how much I'm enjoying Melody. She's really going for it and she's lovely to watch. And Gemma. I mean, what is there to say. I initially felt sorry for her when she was saying how that fall had affected her, until we see Jane skating really well after actually fainting a few hours before and Saara doing that after knocking her head immediately before going out. I know there's no accounting for how a fall affects different people, and as much as I want to cut Gemma some slack, she did literally nothing at all. If Matt didn't pull her around, she'd have stayed in one spot for the entire thing.

Absolutely loved this!!! So glad they're doing another season but I'm almost disgusted at that choice of host. Good lord.

Joseph. Behave yourself. On this you are absolutely correct.

Trinity's was the closest I'd say. She did a great job. Naomi's make up on her Judy was a bit jarring. It was the heavy, heavy contouring on the nose that was throwing me off as it made it look extremely long and pointed. Oh yeah I totally agree. Naomi was definitely 3rd that week. I loved Babs and Trinity ruled it.

I'd take Naomi over Monet any day of the week. Naomi's Snatch Game was underappreciated this season. She did good. And she's proved that she can turn out a lip sync with the best of them.

I have many feelings about the last episode, mostly that Monet was one of the most undeserving challenge winners we've seen yet. Honestly, the make up and outfit on her Judy was...unforgiving to say the least. From the pasty white face to the tights, good lord above it was horrific. I can't fathom how that was top 2, other than to deliberately even out the win numbers and not have one clear, outright candidate for the crown. And obviously that person is Trinity. Trinity won this week, hands down. That makeover was stunning. The hair, the make up, the outfit - all absolutely flawless. But giving her the 4th win at this stage would have been as good as ending it early. I'm baffled by the need to force us to think Monet is better than she is. Yes, she's funny. But come on now, as far as her looks go, there's basic, then there's Monet. If she wins this thing, which is looking increasingly possible, it will be an absolute travesty. Oh, and Naomi's lip sync was absolutely epic. I lived for that and she deserved every cent of that cash tip.

Not according to Trinity. She's been pretty up front about the whole thing on Twitter today. She said her cape was never supposed to be a reveal, she wore it with 3 of the 4 songs in mind, as her performance was planned to work with them. She didn't plan on ripping it off, she worked it in because of the shapes it made when spinning. Unfortunately she got the song she didn't really want so just had to wing it :lol: so off came the cape. She said she'd have picked Adrenaline if they got to choose. Naomi also chimed in to back her up and say they were not told there was a specific runway theme, just to wear "dance" outfits, and they've said they 100% had to learn all 4 songs with very little notice and had no idea which song they would get. Trinity also said in the replies that Gia/Naomi's lip sync was her favourite from the back of the room. Girl's got taste.

I can't believe that Bohemian Rhapsody got a Best Picture nomination. Good lord. Bradley getting snubbed for Best Director is a shock too. However that's somewhat offset by Sam Elliott getting a nom for Support Actor. That's well deserved. Full nominations here.

Agree 100%. Naomi's edit has been absolutely shocking. That ranking feels spot on. I'm hoping for a Trinity win.

Nope at Monique being a front runner. And this ordering puts Trinity bottom of the pack. No way, come on now. Trinity will be top 2 for sure (and should win).

A Star Is Born will get a good number of noms but I do think it'll only win for Shallow. As much as I'd love for them to win the acting awards, it's not happening. Actress is a straight up tussle between Olivia and Glenn. I'm more curious to see if BoRhap gets completely snubbed or not. If it gets nominated for Best Picture I'll lose my damn mind. It doesn't deserve any nomination other than possibly sound mixing for the performances and maybe an actor nod for Rami. Even then, I don't think it should win either of them.

Correct decisions made all round, apart from the last one. I would have sent Latrice packing. She represents nothing about modern drag at all. That runway outfit was beyond disgusting and her lip sync wasn't anything to get excited about. To me, Monique won that by a country mile.

Well I'm not entirely sure what's happening next week but didn't the preview show 2 of the returnees choosing lipsticks? Course that could mean that all the eliminated queens are lipsyncing and whoever wins comes back at the expense of whoever they choose.

I thought the same. Period dramas are not my bag. But this is wickedly funny in places. And it's enjoyable purely to watch those 3 ladies get their teeth into these pretty vile characters. I was surprised how much I liked it, it's honestly brilliant.

That's quite possibly true but I don't think it's a foregone conclusion either. There has been a bit of online backlash about BR winning at the Globes (not necessarily Rami I might add, but the film in general) so I'm curious about whether or not the other awards voters want to move away from that. BR has not been seen as a very deserving winner, even though Rami was very good in it. My personal opinion is that Bradley acted circles around Rami and deserves the win more. Yes, Rami portrayed a larger than life character very well, but he also had a lot to work with, to base that performance on. Bradley's performance was tortured, emotional and raw. The fact that he also performed the songs live while Rami only mimes to Freddie also puts Bradley ahead for me.

The Favourite will (rightfully) clean up at the BAFTAs but I hope A Star is Born can at least grab a couple. Even if it's Bradley, that'd be good. Gaga will not be taking Best Actress over Olivia Colman.

Agree with everything here, you're spot on. I'd have loved Gaga to win, but not at the expense of a legitimately better performance just because I love her. And I'd have loved Toni to have been in the mix too. She's so under-recognised for her talent, it's unreal. She's one of the only actors that evokes genuine emotion in me when she's crying on screen. She's just terrific in everything. I have absolutely no idea what happened with them choosing BoRhap, it's just a ridiculous decision. In no world was it even a very good movie, let alone a "best" movie.

I've not seen The Wife, but my god did Olivia deserve that award. If she'd lost it would have been outrageous.

I just struggle to see anything original or inventive in the movie. It tells a story most of us know in an insipid, uninspired and actually inaccurate way. There are numerous documentaries about Queen and Freddie that already show us a lot of the moments from the movie in real life, that are all much more rewarding than the movie. While I can see why some people may have enjoyed it, I would never, ever consider it award worthy. I just can't wrap my head around that.

Bohemian Rhapsody is a disgraceful winner. What an absolute shambles. While I don't think Rami was bad in it, he certainly wasn't the best actor of the bunch, but my god that movie was absolutely terrible. I can't even wrap my head around why the voters went for it. Take out Rami's decent performance and it's people miming to someone else's performance. I wasn't sure if A Star is Born would win, but my god it deserved to take it over BoRhap. Original music from the best selling album in the world last year, incredible live performances and 2 stunning lead actors showing more emotional depth and range than BoRhap could dream of. I'm just absolutely baffled by that choice. There were some good winners though. At least Shallow won best song. And Olivia Coleman was the absolute right choice too.

The rabbit hole is deep with this one. It's amazing. I probably spent a good 3 hours doing the episode and got at least 8 endings before my final final one. I'm sure I've seen them all. What I find most intriguing is the world it has built up. This connects to at least 7 other BM episodes, either through and lots of other little easter eggs. This isn't a standalone movie at all and is placed firmly in the same universe as a lot of the best episodes. They're so damn clever.

I will be shocked if anyone but Trinity takes this whole thing. She's a god damn superstar. Valentina's lip sync was awesome. Great personality, lots of fun and the twirling was great. She deserved that win. I haven't disliked a queen as much as I dislike Gia for a while. Probably since Phi Phi. She's just conniving, twisted and nasty. There's nothing fun about her at all. Episode 3 was good, but I prefer the normal Snatch Game format.

Home Alone 1 and 2 - Absolute classics and I'm over the moon that my 5 year old sat down to watch the first one with me the other day, found it hilarious and is now asking to watch the 2nd one. The Muppets Christmas Carol - I love everything about it. The humour, the music and it just feels like Christmas. It's perfect. Love Actually - Watched it last night. It's so lovely. And Emma Thompson gets me in the feels every time. Rise of the Guardians - My little boy was watching it on Netflix and I got totally engrossed in it. It's so good!
