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.

Raffles I'm going to the Reading Christmas lights switch on as a VIP guest (for work!) J & J are the 'celeb' switch-onners

Oh, yes, Noisy - get them to log on. I voted for them, and I thought they were the most entertaining by far.

Sean and Conor must have a massive extended family.

Now come on, hands up, who IS voting for the tuneless Irish wonders???
(Don’t forget, I’m Irish and can say that. There’s some terrific buskers in Dublin so these two twonks must be skint.)

Sorry still effing steaming. 👺👺👺👺👺👺

Oooh Noisy tell J&J they are the MN favourites ( I’m sure they’d love to join our thread )

Noisy I live in Reading!!! Are they switching the lights on??
How do I not know about this?!

No way would J&J have gone if the boys were on tonight.

Noisy, you lucky so and so!

Please have a mahoosive banner saying Raffles is seriously pissed - you woz robbed

Wait, did Sobby and Grace perform tonight? Did I miss them when I was foraging for vino?

Music see you tomorrow .

I am cross. I don't know who I want to win now. I think I quite like Kevin. And Rai-Elle., mainly because she looks her age.

I'm going to watch Wossy.

Where magically, Nicole has appeared.

Stormzy is on, I like Stormzy.

Noisy I might see you there, we need to tell each other what we will be wearing so we can give each other the MN nod ( I just made the nod up)

Squoosh no- the 'girls' and the 'boys' are performing tomorrow.

Raahh I love Stormzy, he has a great personality! And Grace Jones is on too.

Music They are! Come on down!

Blimey Grace Jones is on JR. She's bonkers that one

Does anyone SERIOUSLY believe that if SC saw Shitty and Crappy Price gigging/busking he would be rushing to sign them?

Nah, thought not!

Please someone tell me to calm down/get a grip!

I love the banner, Raffles

I hope they at least get to go on tour. When is the cut off for the tour? Is there still a tour? Do people still pay good money to go to the tour?

Music haha I think we need something more identifiable than a nod

Ah I see, thanks Raah. this year's format is a bit bonkers.

I live about 10 mins away from the Broad Street Mall, where the lights are switched on and have gone nearly every year do you know the date? I need to look it up, but haven't yet.

OK she's on the table whipping JR. And she's 69

I need to up my game

Music Grace is great so far.

Raffle. We’re all upset. But j and j will be ok. They are nice lads and are talented. I bet they will do well.

How about if I wave and shout here's music, Noisy It would be great to meet in person!

squoosh I have a feeling this year's format might not be repeated

I remember the year my DM dragged me to the switch on, so she could try and snog Steve McFadden (who plays Phil Mitchell) she fancies the pants off of him
