I don't mind 'Edge of Heaven' too much for J and J- it could have been much worse.
Am very surprised at the choice for the Cutkelvins. At the beginning of the series, I thought they were one of the favourites, but Simon doesn't seem to be giving them much, and they are increasingly becoming the sister , with backing.

And BINGO! 'I can't make you love me' I can't stand that song- and it's Grace singing it- which means they really want her to win. it's such a favourite on these shows.

I think Rat Soup doing 'Faith' rather than Sam , means Sam is going home.

And hopefully, the title of Sobby's song is an omen

There are rumours that the quadruple elimination won't happen now. Which is good in a way, as it would probably have left us with Grace and Rat Soup for the next 4 weeks .

So- I'm off to check if dd1's football has been postponed, and then i need to sort out snacks for later.

Doing a cover is fine-

Grace and Rai-Elle are both dong covers. But they are doing covers that are known more as George songs, than the originals, to most people. It is probably the George version that made them popular to more people .

But Killer and Papa was a Rolling Stone do not fall into that category.

I thought the CK’s were ok but just don’t get all these covers.

George has such a phenomenal back catalogue of his own to choose from.

I wouldn't mind snogging Mr Debenhams on a cold winter's night.

The Ewan McGregor cameo is a bit strange though.

I quite fancy Ewan Mcgregor, especially in Trainspotting 2

I think I just did a little sick at the Debenhams xmas advert

I just had to go and forage in the tool shed for the wine left over from last week's bonfire party!

I wish they would do some of George's best songs: Praying for time, Waiting for that Day, Kissing a Fool, Mother's Pride (would be poignant on remembrance day), etc. There's so many that nobody needs to cover a cover version.

I have bottles of stuff that will make me regret tonight. e.g. Amaretto, cointreau, and some funny looking blue liquor in a bottle. Ponders...

I don't actually know the Rai-Elle song at all either...

I do like the Debenhams ad!

Ewan McGregor hardly the best choice for happy ever after, considering he’s allegedly been cheating on his wife with a woman young enough to be his daughter

Ohhh, the Debenhams ad is my favourite so far this year.

Also - thanks for pointing out Ewan McGregor, I was trying to place who it was! Thought it was Guy Ritchie...

The ad itself was very vomit inducing nancy

Platypus

Roussette that sounds like the kind of booze you bring back from holiday but never actually drink!

Rai Elles song is a Stevie Wonder song.

Sean and Connor. Do you think their mum liked Sean Connery??

Oh, Piggy it's lovely. Well, I think so.

Oh, here come the mumble chums.

Now, I don't get why Simon likes these two so much at all.

I know what that is it blue cacaro (or however it's spelt)

I wish they would do something with these boys hair!

A distraction. Back to the floating head

I don't like drinking on my own so I can't do booze. I did buy some absolutely gorgeous wine glasses this week.

Similar to these but prettier

Is anyone doing Monkey or I want your sex?

But I don't even know it as a Stevie Wonder song!

Disclaimer : my knowledge of SW extends to two songs

The Waitrose Xmas ad airs tomorrow night, ad fans.

oh yes nancy !

I liked these lads to start with but Si has got his hands on them and ruined them
