This is actually 3 of my top 4 (Actually Romantic being number 1) so not a bad turnout! Time for TLOAS to go now though.

Oh that’s my bad - I thought she placed low in week 1 and I thought the Rusical was Marina/Hannah (both of which should have happened)

All of those pretty accurate I reckon Rob! Pangina beating Blu absolutely would have happened and been the realistic outcome (Jimbo would not have made it through one finale lipsync against any of them) although for S2 I’d have imagined Tia bottoming a couple of times and losing out, even taking personal judging out of the equation. But there’s no way Marina would/should have not taken it.

Nini getting the Sam Star treatment 💔 at least she’s making it that far I guess, Myki to win then if looking at the picture realistically!

I second the comment that it’s a lot to take in in 5 minutes, and the clip made it sound like the chorus was going to stomp (or clack clack 👠) a bit harder than it does. Agreed that a radio edit could help it digest easier but I can definitely picture it growing on me.

Oh Myles that album title is an unreal level of relatable. He’s the sort of artist I’m usually so not fond of, that sort of tailored for radio folky pop kind of genre but I actually love everything he’s put out so far, so I might give this a go!

You should do it! I’ve thought of doing the same thing, entitled WIDJI (What If Doug Judged It) 😅

Ugh that really does confirm that Kieran is making to the interviews at the soonest, although he’ll be torn limb from limb which will make a great watch, as long as he makes it no further. Harry was probably more cooked from the moment they lost and he was on borrowed time, but he was a nice lad. Were the accusations about Levi confirmed to be true? Him and Rothna seemed to make a pretty good duo.

This is an album full of growers thus far, thought it was okay but with a couple of highlights (American Girls, Pop and Coming Up Roses) but Ready Steady Go, Dance No More and Are You Listening Yet have really clicked with me now! On brand considering that Aperture on first listen was a bit dull but had quickly grown to be one of my favourites from him.

I’m more seething at the prospect of the Lalaparuza being all Ru tunes again, it was bad enough that they did that for the Global All Stars like bro who wants that 😭

Yay!! Super happy with Gawdland getting the win, totally deserved. She has just that bit more versatility and general energy than Kate does, although if T** K*** can win then it’s annoying that she couldn’t as well if a good UK queen was to be crowned. This will however help queens from other franchises see the point of taking part if it’s not going to be biased to UK queens every time.

I really didn’t get Darlene’s roast lol that sort of American humour turned up to 11 with random ad-libs just does absolutely nothing for me, it all didn’t land at all. This is one of the few times that I’d say Jane was actually robbed! Amongst how much she’d been pushed through this season, this is the one where she really deserved the win. Juicy did great in the lipsync but I’m really not seeing the appeal and I think her skillset has pretty much been exposed and she won’t have much else to offer besides clinging on week to week with lipsyncs. She also kind of has the personality of dryer lint and not much uniqueness to her at all. The men in next week’s makeover episode though, oh we’re blessed 😍

I am SO excited for this, granted it’s not quite as good as the book (I’m on the third one now) but it’s still a decent take on it and Ella is a fantastic actress who plays her so well.

Really hoping it’s Girl So Confusing over the malfunctioning printer icing sugar song, the former is a banger to be fair. Mean Girls and Talk Talk also robbed amongst all of the questionable songs, she hit with those ones!

It’s just really hard to look at a Down Under themed series and be excited about it tbh 😅 even if Michael Marouli is a part of it, it’s just not giving.

Was gutted to see Nini go from winning to bottoming but if she gets to lipsync to that absolute 11/10 song and stay safe she must do well, colour me so ready!!

Elizabeth Taylor now

I’d definitely rank the track 5s as such: 01: Delicate 02: White Horse (CRIMINALLY underrated and really speaks to me and my most recent relationship) 03: All Too Well 04: The Archer 05: All You Had To Do Was Stay 06: My Tears Ricochet — quality dips a bit here — 07: You’re On Your Own Kid 08: Tolerate It 09: So Long London 10: Cold As You 11: Eldest Daughter 12: Dear John I think Ruin the Frindship would keep it where it is in the ranking as I think it’s only slightly more lacklustre than Eldest Daughter and imo the weakest on the album, the latter grown on me slightly in the end.

I’m gutted that this hasn’t taken off as much as I’d have hoped, this really is the song of the year for me so far and it’s going to be hard to be topped. It’s just so powerful. Some people haven’t had their heart broken lately and it shows lol

+5: Aperture +4: Stateside +3: American Girls +2: Ready Steady Go +1: iloveitiloveitiloveit -1: Man I Need -2: Fever Dream -3: Rein Me In -4: So Easy (To Fall In Love) -5: Homewrecker

The winning team was all down to Karishma and not Harry, I’m glad she got her flowers because she really is a powerhouse. If she doesn’t win the whole thing I’ll be annoyed. This really should have been another triple firing, but how on earth Lawrence survived is beyond me, he’s absolutely foul and gave the team nothing to work with so he knew that he could gaslight them and throw them under the bus. I actually think he might be worse than Kieran now.

For me she’d be the best winner since Sasha for sure! She might be more lowkey than the other queens, but she’s not put a foot wrong all competition and has a very strong skillset - she should have won the talent show and had more high placements where she’s been safe (RDR and girl groups notably, pulling off such a smooth but catchy verse in spoken word really cemented my love for her) and her week 1 lipsync I still watch 3 times per day and actually made me enjoy Cardi’s music a lot more 😅 it would just be great for her to get her flowers as a jack of all trades who knows her lane and is unbothered by anything on the outside amongst the other queens to who while likeable, don’t have much of a skillset or get so emotional/bitchy over nothing. The way I see it, it’s her, Myki or no one, so I hope that spoiler is true!

Week by week I’m warming to Discord more, she’s actually pretty endearing, hope she can finally get her flowers and at least a high placement before she’s inevitably knocked out - can’t see her making the final when Jane, Myki and Nini are there. Was happy to see Kenya lipsync for the win too! Although everyone was varying shades of good so I’m glad no one was eliminated.

Finally! Only 7 rounds late! Father Figure next.
