Episode 1 of 6

Why are they finding childcare issues so problematic? Why can't LSL's husband and/or children relocate? Faye, Clare and LSL have enough kids between them to arrange for fantastic support for 2 1/2 months preparation and then the 3 month tour.

Clare's husband seems like a misogynistic dollop; he had a point about the issues that caused her to quit still being the same though. Lee and Ian seems to have supportive partners, the girls not so much - maybe because they have children?

LSL does not come across well on these programmes. I work from home, sometimes with a young child present. She was very unprofessional imho. Do they both work in Dubai?

i don't mind lsl or faye, they just seem frustrated that claire doesn't need to carry on, i guess i would be the same

the concert was pretty dire to watch, had to turn off half way through, was most of the signing dubbed?

DD2 is doing music production she said the following , God sake they have layered vocals and autotune and not singing key changes , Im not sure what that means cos im tone deaf Grin i think they did sing but were helped ,

I did a huge Uturn on lsl and faye . god clare is such a drama queen isnt she she seemed to loved the chaos she was causing , and it seemed to be out of sync because they announced the summer tour at the concert we went to but were deciding at the end of the tour , it was all so staged Confused

bunnybabylon · 29/05/2012 09:38

yes the big cliffhanger ending was daft as their summer tour was advertised during the ads Grin

Eggrules · 29/05/2012 10:15

Faye exudes a seething undercurrent and would like to bully the others around to her way of thinking. It isn't Clare's fault that she doesn't want the same thing as Faye and Lee. Steps could go on without one of the others as long as it has Clare. The others rely on her more than she needs them.

I didn't warm to LSL.
I like Faye a lot less.

Meh about Lee.
Poor Ian
Claire still like

I have transferred all my venom from LSL to Lee. What a complete and utter twat.

daenerysstormborn · 29/05/2012 11:20

missed it last night, am waiting to watch it on sky-go but they've not uploaded it yet.

Dee03 · 29/05/2012 13:02

I agree....lee is a twat

Pinkjenny · 29/05/2012 16:11

Faye is so abrasive. I just wish someone would call her on it. She is a cold fish.

daenerysstormborn · 29/05/2012 17:04

i wonder if she was always like that (faye, i mean), or is it a ten years on thing? can see how the conflicting personalities and jealousy all added to the band breaking up.

daenerysstormborn · 29/05/2012 17:04

sorry, posted too soon. meant to add she's very passive aggressive.

Eggrules · 29/05/2012 17:10

Claire said there was reason she presented the decision to leave by letter. I'm not sure just before the last performance on tour was the right way to do it. I can totally see why they wanted to leave though. The band members answered an advert and were not childhood friends through thick and thin.

I just watched Sky+ to check out the seasoning label Shock

i didn't get faye as being cold just really annoyed that the others seemed non plussed about taking it forward, really they would have to be a bit daft not to, their manager was right and they won't have the opportunity again

Mrsjay · 29/05/2012 18:35

I like faye i think she is ambitious and driven and wants to know if she has a permanent job or not , I do think the looks and glances were bad editing for tension and drama ,

Eggrules · 29/05/2012 18:46

I liked Faye more before this series. Fine line between assertive and aggresive.

All a load of nonsense.

In or out of what? A tour, a record, 12 months? They might as well have put the Countdown conundrum music on.

Mrsjay · 29/05/2012 18:51

me and DD were playing deal or no deal watching that egg Smile

maybe faye is just desperate ? On the whole i do like her though

Eggrules · 29/05/2012 18:56

DOND works much better - cue close up of phone.

It would be a pita to be reliant on the others. They need to discuss why C and H left and sort it out.

LSL could tour via skpe.

OP posts:
Mrsjay · 29/05/2012 19:00

I think C n H need to say look our manager has a new job for us we are leaving cos we shoot the video monday H and clare were just awful together but out very quick if i remember right , yes LSL could just dance in dubai put it on the bigscreen sorted . I will miss this we must all start watching something else now but what ?

FrillyMilly · 29/05/2012 19:12

I'm not sure if I missed the end. Did they come to a conclusion about the future? I think Claire is the most realistic about it. If they carry on they need really good songs otherwise it will flop.

daenerysstormborn · 29/05/2012 20:31

it's a genuine seasoning Grin

read the reviews!

Pinkjenny · 29/05/2012 20:51

I just don't think there's a market for them. Claire was right about there not being a Gary Barlow in the band. I didn't mind popping off to the concert and reliving all the dance routines and songs, but a new album? God no.

Pinkjenny · 29/05/2012 20:52

Ha, that review is Grin

Eggrules · 30/05/2012 19:04

epic review Grin

just watched the concert itself - I thought they said they'd be singing live?!?! Probably around half the songs were mimed!!
