Be The One vs. Don't Start Now Physical vs. Levitating Levitating and Physical are the two best songs of 2020 so it’s a shame they had to face each other at this stage!

09 // I Forgot That You Existed 11 // Cruel Summer 09 // Lover 07 // The Man 10 // The Archer 08 // I Think He Knows 09 // Miss Americana & the Heartbreak Prince 08 // Paper Rings 11 // Cornelia Street 07 // Death By a Thousand Cuts 09 // London Boy 08 // Soon You'll Get Better 07 // False God 10 // You Need to Calm Down 09 // Afterglow 09 // ME! 08 // It's Nice to Have a Friend 09 // Daylight 05 // You Need to Calm Down (Clean Bandit Remix) 06 // Lover remix (feat. Shawn Mendes) 05 // Lover (First Dance Remix) Non-album singles 06 // Crazier 05 // Beautiful Eyes 05 // I Heart? 04 // Two Is Better Than One 07 // Today Was A Fairytale 06 // Safe & Sound 06 // Eyes Open 08 // Both of Us 05 // Ronan 06 // Highway Don't Care 06 // Sweeter Than Fiction 09 // I Don't Wanna Live Forever 06 // Babe 07 // Beautiful Ghosts 07 // Christmas Tree Farm 08 // Only the Young

09 // Like I Love You 09 // Cry Me A River 08 // Rock Your Body 08 // Senōrita 09 // SexyBack 10 // My Love 09 // What Goes Around...Come Around 09 // LoveStoned 06 // Until The End Of Time 07 // Summer Love 09 // The Real Slim Shady 05 // The Way I Am 09 // Stan 09 // Without Me 09 // Cleaning Out My Closet 10 // Lose Yourself 05 // Sing For The Moment 09 // Just Lose It 10 // Like Toy Soldiers 08 // We Made You 11 // Bailamos 07 // Rhythm Divine 06 // Be With You 08 // Could I Have This Kiss Forever 10 // Hero 07 // Escape 07 // Addicted 10 // Not In Love 09 // Do You Know? (The Ping Pong Song) 10 // Takin' Back My Love 10 // Rock DJ 11 // Kids 07 // Supreme 07 // Eternity 06 // Somethin' Stupid 08 // Feel 07 // Radio 07 // Tripping 09 // Rudebox (sorry not sorry, it's an absolute tune) 06 // Bodies 08 // Pop Ya Collar 08 // U Remind Me 07 // U Got It Bad 06 // U Don't Have To Call 10 // Yeah! 10 // Burn 09 // My Boo 08 // Confessions Pt. II 07 // Caught Up 07 // Love In This Club

Yeah it was more this bit that the emphasis was on but I hear y’all haha. Other big queens (Latrice, Delta, Eureka for example) did little for me but Kandy and Ginger are the only two that come to mind that ever have.

As the token bear who likes other bears I'm obviously going for Kandy. Finally something for me!

01: Kandy Muse 02: Rosé 03: Utica Queen 04: Olivia Lux 05: Symone 06: Elliott with 2 Ts 07: Denali 08: Tina Burner 09: Gottmik 10: Tamisha Iman 11: Joey Jay 12: Lala Ri 13: Kahmora Hall

Hallucinate vs. Physical Levitating vs. Don't Start Now Be The One vs. Hotter Than Hell

10 // Break Up Song 06 // Holiday 10 // Sweet Melody 10 // Confetti 09 // Happiness 11 // Not A Pop Song 07 // Nothing But My Feelings 10 // Gloves Up 09 // A Mess (Happy 4 U) 05 // My Love Won't Let You Down 07 // Rendezvous 08 // If You Want My Love 08 // Breathe Not sorry for my score for Not A Pop Song, it's a bop in every sense. Also putting this against Get Weird in terms of their best album is SO hard because even though the highs are incredible, the former is similar in terms of it also has its weaker (not terrible as such, just definitely not as good) points.

Familiar is a b o p and I won't hear otherwise. Saying that though I love the three songs remaining but I chose Polaroid to go.

01: Teenage Dream 02: Wide Awake 03: Firework 04: E.T. 05: Not Like the Movies 06: The One That Got Away 07: California Girls 08: Hummingbird Heartbeat 09: Last Friday Night (T.G.I.F) 10: Peacock 11: Who Am I Living For? 12: Part of Me 13: Circle the Drain 14: Pearl 15: Dressin’ Up

Just watched the New Years episodes on All 4:

(BloodPop Remix)

WOW I did NOT see that coming at all, bravo Hollyoaks for pulling off a stunt that makes so much sense now it is explained but I am shook!! Can’t believe it’s the same actor as before too!!

01: Hate Me 02: WTF Do I Know? 03: Gimme What I Want 04: Midnight Sky 05: Night Crawling (feat. Billy Idol) 06: Prisoner (feat. Dua Lipa) 07: Angels Like You 08: Plastic Hearts 09: Never Be Me 10: High 11: Bad Karma (feat. Joan Jett) 12: Golden G String I can't get enough of the top 3, Hate Me is such a smash from the first second to the last, clearly proving to be an underrated one amongst fans too but the next two songs up there are rightfully getting the praise they deserve. I honestly didn't think she'd top Midnight Sky on this album but I was surprised to be wrong!

This album goes off SO hard!! So many highlights but the SLAP from the chorus on Hate Me is STRONG

Such a shame to see Clara end up in a position like that and leave because she did show potential with her Charleston, sadly though aside from that she hasn’t given enough for the amount of time she has been there to keep up to that potential. That dance-off was sooooo close though and I’m not surprised Clara got a vote to stay as she stepped up big time, but the mistakes were still there. Jamie shouldn’t have been there either though - the love for JJ just aggs me. He’s not a bad/annoying person or dancer, he’s just there? And that’s not enough at all at this stage. Sadly the Scottish/impaired/army publicity on rotation will keep him around regardless especially if he’s doing a Charleston next week, but I hope to be wrong. Now Clara is gone though my final 3 hopes are completely crystal - Maisie, Jamie and Bill or nothing please. I mean only one of those (probably Bill) will probably actually make it, HRVY and Ranvir are more popular.

09 // What You Waiting For? 09 // Rich Girl 09 // Hollaback Girl 10 // Cool 06 // Luxurious 07 // Wind It Up 08 // The Sweet Escape 06 // 4 In The Morning 11 // Complicated 09 // Sk8er Boi 10 // I'm With You 10 // Don't Tell Me 10 // My Happy Ending 10 // Nobody's Home 09 // Girlfriend 11 // When You're Gone 05 // Money 10 // Superstar 09 // Thank You 09 // See It In A Boy's Eyes 06 // DJ 08 // Stop 09 // Something About You 08 // Beware Of The Dog 08 // Single 10 // These Words 10 // Unwritten 06 // I Bruise Easily 03 // I Wanna Have Your Babies 07 // Soulmate 08 // Love Like This 09 // Pocketful Of Sunshine 09 // I'm Like A Bird 06 // Turn Off the Light 06 // Powerless 08 // Try 08 // Maneater 10 // Promiscuous 10 // All Good Thing (Come to an End) 10 // Say It Right

While I see the points about her being long-running and needing a huge exit and there is no way she'd get killed off, do you not think this is a pretty huge storyline in its own right? Plus don't forget how Frankie (again, didn't like her but she was long-running too) got a randomly sudden fatal exit. I'm probably wrong but it would make sense.

I’ve watched the trailer again as I’m really excited to see how all the storylines bump to a dramatic peak around new year and I’m going to make a prediction for the death(s) -

I disagree entirely with the comments re: Jamie, I thought he was absolutely fantastic, couldn’t fault a single thing he did, I actually think he should have got 30 and don’t understand the 9! Maybe for Karen’s slight hiccup in her solo breakdance but aside from that it was exactly what I was hoping for. Ranvir however... I was expecting far better from what was actually delivered. Was still worthy of 7s and 8s but not a 10 at all. Could see stiffness and distance between her and Gio at times and not as much drama as there should have been. I do think that Caroline was worse and sadly yes Clara was the worst of the night, and while I’d rather JJ be there (overmarked again too even if he was better than last week) I’d assume it’ll be Clara and Caroline, in which case I hope Clara turns it out because as lovely as Caroline is, Clara has soooo much more potential. Just... not Maisie this time please.

08 // S&M 10 // What’s My Name (feat. Drake) 10 // Cheers (Drink To That) 11 // Fading (arguably her most underrated song, it's so gorgeously produced) 07 // Only Girl (In The World) (was obsessed with this at the time but it has aged a bit due to overplay on radio and such) 09 // California King Bed 08 // Man Down 05 // Raining Men (feat. Nicki Minaj) 09 // Complicated 05 // Skin 06 // Love The Way You Lie Part 2 (feat. Eminem)

My sister said that Laura is literally the Cheryl Hole/Roxxxy Andrews of this series... summed up perfectly!

Mark L, Lottie, Sura and Hermine are far more likeable than the three that have made it to the end. Laura is likeable enough but has received many free passes, Dave is just annoying and his bakes don’t look as outstanding as Prue and Paul claim, and then there is Peter who is literally Andrew from Candice’s season - so falsely smug about everything. Not interested in seeing the final at all now really.

So what is everybody’s least favourite GBBO final 3, and why have you chosen this year?
