Only three points in it, I'm hoping that Wardy might be able to Jump in and steal it at the last moment ;)

Boo at Madagascar really costing me. Yes, Alex is the lead, but I just thought it would be the Buzzjack thing to go with a female. Sugababes is a fair enough top answer, I think I considered them, but more people saying Westlife than S Club is a total wtf moment for me, when you think of popularity on the site and how recently S Club have toured.

The Jannik situation made for a funny headline that I saw on a newspaper yesterday, "he's no sinner" :D The draw for the US Open has been done, Jack Draper eyeing up Carlos Alcaraz as a potential 3rd round match-up. Emma Raducanu starts off against Sofia Kenin, with the winner likely to face Jessica Pegula, so tough draws for the Brits, though they've beaten those possible opponents in the past couple of months so could be good battles.

It was in the top 3 most watched shows in the US for over half of its run, and received multiple award nominations and wins, so if that's not something that's 'rated', I don't know what is. (not that I'd be saying The Big Bang Theory, I loved the show and bought the box-sets in the pre-streaming era, and Young Sheldon is great too) I really enjoyed the initial run of Gavin & Stacey, but the last Christmas special didn't click for me and I'd rather they weren't doing another one. For me, I'd say the endless amount of cop/crime shows that were huge in the US, things like CSI and NCIS that have received multiple spin-offs. How were there so many, did people not get tired?!

After the round of Pointless that took place in the lounge last year, I know not to trust the rainbow nursery rhyme as a way of confirming the colours :D

I enjoyed this more than I expected, I thought it was very well done and it's a shame that it's caught up in behind the scenes drama because it's bringing focus and getting people to talk about a very important issue. I liked the backstory that was given to Ryle, and thought the ending with Lily .

Alexei Popyrin has become a very surprising Masters champion, after defeating Andrey Rublev in the final of the Canadian Open. The first Australian male to win a Masters event since Lleyton Hewitt. Alex de Minaur found shaking. Jessica Pegula defended her title in Canada on the women's side.

^ A £4.5m opening for "It Ends With Us", knocking Deadpool off #1! :o I did not expect anywhere near that, that's huge for a romance drama?! Honestly I thought it would just perform similarly to Blake Lively's "The Age of Adaline" from quite a few years ago, which opened with less than £1m. :lol:

As faceless as it is, it's still really catchy and the most I've liked anything from her in ages. I can see myself going back to it, good move to be moving on from WW already.

Ooh pleased to be a joint winner, and well done King Rollo! Although I should've gone for Steve Redgrave for the Sydney gold medallist question, was between the two and that would've got the win for myself :P Had no idea which sport is a 'flop' but I just went for football because it has a lot more prestigious tournaments and I don't think it's a sport that really gets associated with the Olympics. Went for Istanbul on the basis they're one of the potential cities putting themselves forward for 2036, couldn't think of what else to go off.

Incredible for Dan Evans and Andy Murray to see off five match points to win against Japan. Murray's career not over yet!

Don't let me forget to enter this! Those last three questions will require a bit of thought ^_^

The host city race is now between two - it's going to be Geneva or Basel!

1. Roar (pop perfection) 2. California Gurls 3. I Kissed a Girl 4. Never Really Over 5. Woman's World 6. Chained to the Rhythm I agree she doesn't always peak with the lead though, so I'm still curious about the upcoming album. For me, "E.T." was the best single from TD, "Hot N Cold" and "Waking Up In Vegas" are both better than IKAG, and "Swish Swish" is the single from Witness that I got behind. The single that peaked lower than what came after it? :lol: I've never got that into CTTR, but Bon Appetit is dreadful and what I believe was the beginning of the end for her.

The fact that Frodo the cat was the second most important character made this right up my street. The ending was so emotional, honestly I was almost in tears when :cry:

I finally finished season 2 on iPlayer. Obviously nothing was going to be able to top Diane's funeral, but I think Ekin-Su is as good as this season could've got, just how there was no logic to Parvati's choice. They could do with shields/immunity idols that can be used to protect from banishment, imagine Parvati whipping one out at the roundtable when the votes were against her. This sagged for me a bit towards the end, I don't think it was necessary to bring Kate back, and it was kinda ruined by the Bravo people all sticking together until there wasn't much choice. Or maybe they were just that dumb. I think that's why for me, the civilian version is better, as you don't have these pre-existing relationships that have some influence (outside of twists like Ross and Diane). The final episode, and MJ's face as the flame turned red!!! I felt so bad for her, especially as Trishell originally voted to banish again because she suspected CT?! MJ was rubbish at the game but she didn't deserve that. Season 3 cast - excited for Britney and Chrishell! They were both traitor victories (Cirie and Alex)

I like this more than the majority of her post-Prism music (the exceptions being "Swish Swish" and "Never Really Over" - yes, I'd rather listen to this than "Chained to the Rhythm"), the chorus is rather catchy, the music video is quite fun (I'd just been watching a video about Trisha Paytas, and then watched the music video straight after, so screamed when she popped up). I do think some of the reactions have been a bit extreme and it's not been nice to watch the pile on that's taken place all over the internet and social media. I'm not sure how much I'd re-visit it going forward though because the Dr Luke thing does taint it. The fact it's meant to be a women's empowerment anthem, and he's involved, can't really be looked past and it's right for that to be called out.

Might have been nice to see a closer match, but it's also nice to have a contrast from last year and not to have nerves as a viewer. Excellent play from Alcaraz today (and for the sake of my sweepstake, let's hope the Spanish have achieved all the sports victory that they need for one day).

What a thrilling final game, and a great deciding set that could've gone either way. I am gutted for Paolini, I hope she can continue to play at this level and win a slam at some point, but it's also nice for Krejčíková to be able to shake off the 'one slam wonder' label.

Ended up rooting for Vekic, how gutting for her to be so close :( But what an achievement for Paolini, some tennis commentator on X says that she's only the fourth woman this century to make the French Open and Wimbledon finals back to back (both Williams sisters and Justine Henin being the others)! It would be nice to see her win, cherry on the cake of an amazing season so far, but I just feel she'll follow the same fate as Ons Jabeur (losing back to back finals - one to Swiatek, one to Rybakina)

Not his fault that de Minaur got injured, or that Zverev threw away a two set lead. He was the one having to pull out of a QF at Roland Garros so I'll let him off this time now that he's the one benefiting. Rooting for Rybakina and Paolini to win tomorrow, let's see this really random women's draw end with at least some consistency.

Nah, Zverev being ahead at a crucial stage is exactly when to expect him to lose :D Disappointed Rune couldn't put up as much of a fight as well. I think we're on course for a re-match of last year's final, and tbh I think it would be iconic for Djokovic to win his first tournament of the year now, when he had surgery so recently and no one expected him to be able to play.

Swiatek and Jabeur out! The former isn't that much of a surprise, this isn't her surface and her slam record outside of the French is very inconsistent for someone who before the year is out, will be the 7th longest world #1. But I'm sad for Jabeur. Surely there will be more upsets to come and we won't just end up with a Gauff vs. Rybakina final :unsure:

Never had any doubt about Emma dispatching Sakkari with ease. Big shot at a semi-final match up with Coco now. The draw just keeps opening up with Badosa taking out Kasatkina.

Tsitipas' record at the Australian and French Opens versus Wimbledon and the US Open is kinda crazy, it's like he gets tired or just gives up halfway through the season. Boulter and Draper taken out by Dart and Norrie :o The first result wasn't too much of a shock, but Norrie winning in straight sets felt like quite an upset. Hope he's up for the Zverev challenge
