I’ve always kind of said he’s a bit of a Temu version of him but I’m still quite fond, no one could be Rags though.

I see no reason why that shouldn’t have been a double save bearing in mind that there hasn’t been one all season - maybe because there’s been a few top 2 lipsyncs and a double win for Juicy and Mia on the talent show. Jane did well in the lipsync but Nini absolutely destroyed, she shown that she can pull stunts at strong moments and god I love her, it’s a shame that her performance in the challenge was pretty stagnant. I’d have gone as far as to say that Myki and Juicy (surprisingly!) were the only funny ones. Darlene on the other hand… I just don’t see what most are seeing lol, her humour is just very… Big Bang Theory style comedy, and her runways are mostly tosh and relying on story. I’d go as far as to say she’s the American equivalent of Kitty Scott-Claus, although at least she’s not unlikeable like her.

I literally don’t get the hate for him here lol everything I’ve heard for him is great (although I do think he’s pretty hot so maybe that helps), interested to see what follows as the last era was strong!

My second and third favourites on the album, both huge but both also quite overplayed - I’ve voted to boot TFOO with Opalite to win but it’s a close one for me!

That's all I have to say for now. I actually need to catch my breath.

The way I cheered so loudly when Pascha’s team won - her, Karishma and Priyesh all making it though when they were all pretty scratchy (first time for Karishma) was a relief! No surprise at Levi being instantly booted because he well and truly passed his expiry date, he was comically terrible in front of the cameras. I’m gutted for Conor though I did think he was going down, it’s a shame as the only tasks he’s done badly on were the tasks he was PM. I’m just livid that Kieran has scraped through again on NOTHING but vibes, he’s such a slimy c***. It really is good vs evil next week with Karishma vs Kieran as PMs, praying that the former pulls it out like she normally does.

As long as Fake Out and Parting Shot are still a thing I don't think he's ever gunna be going anywhere tbf 😅

Whatever being one of the songs of 2024 and New Religion being one of the songs of 2026 thus far, valid comparison! All bangers only!

Oh I’m annoyed that this is how Nini’s run ends 😭 was really hoping she’d kill one more challenge at least rather than allegedly bomb all of them. At least she gets rid of Juicy I guess.

Wow Emboar got done DIRTY but I echo Liam, I'm glad Meganium got given a very much deserved blessing with Mega Sol - I have wanted a permanent Power Herb ability to be a reality for a while, so I'm glad we've got some form of that! Can't wait to see what abilities Scovillain, Greninja, Scolipede, Glimmora, Chimecho and Absol Z get! I might treat myself to this when it gets released but it depends on my funds, praying I get a new job in time or something. I only have slight FOMO over not being able to play Pokopia, this will give me major FOMO.

The real tea is the winner of this week’s maxi challenge is Jason, that is a MAN 😍😍 I’m not delusional enough of a stan to say that Nini didn’t deserve to be in the bottom because the makeup on Jason wasn’t great, but seeing her lipsync to We Can’t Be Friends filled such a niche part of my soul. Sad to see Discord go but it had to be done.

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!
