Well I loved it for what it was, but talent show challenges are nearly always terrible (even though on paper they really shouldn't be) so no change there. Too many awful singing/dance/general fannying about on stage "performances" from queens who looked bored or DEAD.
Jimbo's psychotic salami episode saving us all. Christ what a moment and what a bloody star. Yes there's something chilling about him in a bodies-under-the-patio (and in the fridge, wardrobe and bath) kind of way, but he elevates everything and such a change from the usual tired tropes. Of course I'm sure he has his own repetitive faults and refusal to play properly, like that lip sync, that will, once again, be his undoing. Already it seems ridiculous if he doesn't make the final but this voting system makes me worried.
Poor Lemon was a disaster. She gave us a lot while giving nothing at the same time. I do like her but she's a bit pageant-queen that's been told everything they do is wonderful and beautiful and amazing. If she watched that back and still felt robbed...well. But it's still a shame - she proved she had more to give on her season.
Janey, dear god what was that. It was like a camera crew pounced on someone in a changing room and asked them to put on (and remove to music) as many outfits as possible and please make it as joyless and uncomfortable as you can. Great runway and seems very likeable so I hope she can pull past Cheryl at least but I imagine she's on borrowed time.
Just to defend Baga for a second...while that was lazy to rehash a catchphrase that only ever worked in the context of a sketch...and her runway looked like shit...at least
something was constructed to make a performance, there were some vaguely amusing moments and it felt like an attempt to get an audience on board. Yes it wasn't good enough but there was worse that deserved to be lower and that includes Juju with whatever that was.
And whatever the hell Monique was doing...and then getting a major villain edit
is certainly something.
Terrible lip sync choice and loving Mel C sticking the knife into all and sundry, but she could have taken a chomp out of Bunton for the fun of it while she was there
