I guess they don't want the bad press with the two previous winners not releasing albums. So they are chucking one out and hoping for the best, and if it flops they can claim it got lost in the Christmas Market (Just like Matt's second album deal). Louisa will possibly get a single out at the end of the year an album out at the start of next year which might get a higher debut but low sales and a quick drop (both the album down the charts and Louisa from Syco)

I am so confused as to how the eliminations work. I think they are going to manipulate it as much as possible as it is vaguely said. It can either be the bottom act from each category on the night (i.e bottom group and bottom girl) and also as the bottom act or two overall (so could be two groups). If they did it the first way and the result on the night was 1-4 highest votes girls and 5-8 groups, we could end up losing 4th and 8th place on the night. And revealing who the top 2 are each night is an interesting choice. I don't think I like it.

I am really not excited about this album. I just haven't got the drive to search it out and despite loving most of her previous albums, the vibes tell me I won't enjoy this and I don't think it will even get a loyalty buy out of me sadly.

I am excited for the reviews on my very Farahtyn entry.

I’ll watch for this. Do we know if it’s long term or just a visit. I imagine

I think it will be a 3(Mollie, Una and Frankie)-2 (Rochelle and Vanessa) For-against split. Frankie and Rochelle are interchangeable from for and against.

Be warned the new format for this series is really complex. We are down to 6 robots in a heat and 30 in total, the lowest in Robot Wars history. Heat 2 contains 3 of last years 6 finalists including the Top 2 being in the same hear for the second series in a row and the fourth place robot. (Carbide, Eruption and After Shock). So the new format. In round one in each heat there are two 3 way melees. One robot from each of these will progress directly to round 3. The remaining two will be ranked as 2nd and 3rd place in the battle. Neither is eliminated. Round 2. Fight A 2nd place V Fight B 3rd place Fight A 3rd Place V Fight B 2nd place The four non winning robots fight against each other for a place in the 3rd round. Round 3. Round 1 winner V round 2 winner Round 1 winner V round 2 winner The winners of this go into round 5. and the losers face off in round 4. Round 4 Loser of Round 3 1 V Loser of Round 3 2 The winner of this claims 3rd place for the heat and goes into round 6. The loser is eliminated. Round 5 Winner of Round 3 1 V Winner of Round 3 2 The winner of this claims a place in the grand final. The loser joins the winner of round 4 in round 6. That is the end of the heat. Round 6 Is the replacement for the wild card selection for the 6th finalist. The 5 winners of Round 4 and the 5 losers of Round 5 face off in a 10way battle for a place in the grand final. Round 7 (Grand final) It's not been revealed how the final will work just yet, but it will contain the 5 heat winners and the winner of round 6.

Gang we need to vote for Mollie tonight. There are two four way ties which has made the points really close. Mollie could be in trouble.

Looking forward to Southend next weekend. Odd choice for the last night of the UK leg.

Liverpool 0-2 Man Utd Burnley 2-1 West Ham Crystal Palace 0-4 Chelsea Man City 2-1 Stoke Swansea 0-0 Huddersfield Tottenham 2-0 Bournemouth Watford 2-1 Arsenal Brighton 1-2 Everton Southampton 1-1Newcastle Leicester 2-0 West Brom

A PCD version would sound identical though.

Looks like they are doing something like this. The new qualifying looks insanely complicated.

*Whoa Lipa

Didn’t there second album have like 8 re releases?

How does it have illegitimate sales? I don’t understand.

What About Us is 59p on iTunes this week.

I think the BBC pays a standard fee for the contestants no matter who they are and they get a bonus for getting to Blackpool or the final. Mel C I think has complained about the fee.

My problem is this is another dramatic shift in sound between albums, and once again this is the real her and how dare you question or think otherwise.

Huddersfield 3-2 Tottenham Bournemouth 1-1 Leicester Man Utd 2-0 Crystal Palace Stoke 0-0 Southampton West Brom 3-1 Watford West Ham 2-0 Swansea Chelsea 1-2 Man City Arsenal 1-2 Brighton Everton 3-1Burnley Newcastle 1-2 Liverpool

Up it's time to go.

Lots of ties. They benefit the comedy contestants.

With the way tied scores work in the show. So say the top 5 scores are 30 28 28 28 27 rather than being 1-2-2-2-5 it scores 1-2-2-2-3 this hurts less public loved contestants. If there are lots of ties Mollie could be in trouble early on, as I suspect she doesn't have the fan base vote to get her out of the bottom 5 of the public vote, unless she produces a spectacular dance.

Based on tonight I think Mollie will be first out. Why are people spelling her name Molly?
