Confused and a bit more confused

I don't think I know anything today.

Uhhhhhhhhh.

So, I'm not entirely sure what's happening with our government. Or our potential government, as I THINK we don't have one just now.

And our PM quit, or he will soon, when he thinks he's not useful any more (I think the consensus is now tbh).

So. Lots of things I don't know. I don't think we're getting a Tory government. We may be. I'm not sure. Basically it seems to have split into two groups: Conservatives and Everyone Else. Either Everyone Else will form a NonTory coalition, or the Tories will form a minority government and get nothing through because Everyone Else will veto. So it's all good really.
I think the LibDems did actually say "nein danke" to the Conservatives, citing something along the lines of "we don't agree on anything that matters".

Which amuses me LOTS. Either way it goes now, there's more of not them than there is them. Ha. And I want to have all the LibDems' babies. Maybe just Nick Clegg's.

- as everyone keeps taking me literally, can I just add: not literally, they're just back to godlike status. -

While it may not be fair on Tory voters, that's ok. They're Tory voters.

I learned(ish) today what different types of proportional representation are. I'm not sure how they are exactly proportional, that's not how I'd do it. But at least I know what they're on about. A bit.

I read this: http://www.bbc.co.uk/blogs/opensecrets/2009/06/whats_fairest_for_a_voting_referendum.html

And no, I can't do links from here.

I think if we have Not Tory in charge, then we have one of those. According to some facebook thingy that keeps telling me to protest about it (it's ok, Nick Clegg's doing that), STV is the best. AKA getting the most seats for LibDems. But lots of people seem to (correctly) think that it's a good thing, so that suggests "lots of people" should be represented. Proportionally.

Huh? I feel stoopid.

Shhhhhh.

More Over the Rainbow

I've lost count of weeks. And posts. Ah well.

After this weekend's double eviction, there's four left. Danielle is the best, but I am warming more and more towards Sophie. She has a quality that I think deserves to go far. Steph and Lauren are both talented, but I don't think the public will vote for either of them. Lauren sings horrible songs and the panel rave about her voice, but they're not pleasant to listen to and she doesn't come across well in the (edited) clips. Steph is pretty good and quite professional, but somehow just not that interesting.

Of those that have left:

Amy: was utterly wrong and should never have been there

Bronte: was good, went far too early

Dani: was pretty good, not sure what she did wrong

Emilie: thank goodness she finally went, was there far too long

Stephanie: shock exit! I expected her to win, but she was getting annoying.

Jenny: was carefully edited to show all her failings but has an amazing voice. No surprise that she left

Jessica: good riddance. I originally thought she was good, but she annoyed me more and more as time went on with her "I'm dead quirky me, ooh look at my funny face" 

Have I missed anyone? Meh.

The panel are actually being too nice and rather repetitive.

And the Toto thing? Mad people. I can't imagine anything worse for a pet dog, and the owners are all bonkers. It seems cruel somehow, but there you go. Cute doggy footage, huzzah.

Doctor?

Well, Dr Who seemed marvellous. Steven Moffat is brilliant, Matt Smith is the Best Doctor Ever, and Karen Gillan is a fabulous companion. The first stories were compelling and interesting, including revisiting the weeping angels. It transpires that Blink was written by Steven Moffat, so that explains a Lot. According to wiki, he also wrote Press Gang and Coupling so he should clearly be forced to write everything Charlie Brooker doesn't have time to write.

And it seems that David Tennant isn't all that attractive after all. Matt Smith is quite clearly an ugly man, but now he is as attractive as can be. Thus proving that it is the Doctor that's attractive.Ok, David Tennant's quite pretty. And he is Scottish, which is irrelevant in a mattering very much manner. But I'm *liking* Matt Smith now. Even though he's a child and it is very very wrong.

Tangent. Or two Sorry.

Back to Dr Who, series 5 (ignoring all pre-ecclestonian episodes). What was this week's episode? It was very reminiscent of the previous series (plural) with David Tennant. In other words, it wasn't all that good. Amy's fiance Rory(?) was a poor actor, and he seemed to drag the others down to his level. The story was ok, but a bit silly, and the effects were back to traditional Dr Who quality -  rubbish, while still probably being Very Expensive.

Here's hoping it bounces back next week. It promised to be something different, and it will be very disappointing if it slips to normal standards of tedium.

And the result is... pending.

How disappointing. The people of England voted for the smug one. Presumably they're either bigots at heart or swayed completely by the media.

The people of Scotland did not. One Tory seat in Scotland. One. Which actually makes me proud to be Scottish, and newly open to the idea of independence.

I had a moment of over excitement at 1am and trotted off to the college at which the Kirkcaldy result would be declared. And stood outside for a while, got fed up, came home, and watched as Gordon Brown overwhelmingly held on to his seat. It looked promising for a while, as the seats that were always going to be Labour came in as Labour holds. But this morning, the news was bleak. Admittedly less bleak than it might have been, given the media annihilation of Brown/Labour, the people didn't actually all vote Tory. So there is a streak of independent thought throughout the electorate. Conservative do not have the majority, Smug Cameron isn't PM and there isn't a result yet.

Nick Clegg is the man of the moment. Who probably should/would be PM if we had a fair voting system and a less mogul controlled media.

Initial shock as Clegg stated that Cameron should have the first opportunity to form a government, spent some time feeling let down and appalled that he could even consider any co operation with the Tories. It seemed that anyone that had voted Liberal Democrat had in fact voted for a Conservative government. How disappointing to discover that the hero who championed what I believe in (mostly, but it's nice not to be a freak that thinks differently from the entire population on all issues) had sold out in the name of having power.

But then it dawned (admittedly probably NOT "today") that he may in fact be the ultimate hero. He could in fact be the key to the party who received the most seats getting to form the government, which is after all "fair" under the current system, but be in a position to get them to rethink some of their policies.
Except, Smug's comment on Electoral reform stated quite categorically that they don't want Proportional Representation.

PR seems to be the issue most people (that aren't Tory) care about. I am certainly furious that voting for what I believe in is akin to not voting, because the vote would count for nothing in the constituency of the PM.

So, it remains to be seen. The only "fair" outcome would be for the Smugs to govern, but fingers are crossed in fervent hope that a Tory government is avoided. Alex Salmond has stated firmly that a) they support Labour and will do anything to help Labour remain in power and b) that Scotland will not willingly support a Tory government.

If Nick Clegg gets a Tory government that backs down on some issues, he will be a hero after all. And he will allow the Tories to be the most unpopular government in history (again) and thus safeguard against any future Tory rule. Much as I hate to admit it, I think that would be the fairest and most logical solution. A Labour government that so many people voted against would have no chance against the media and public opinion would swiftly fail to support them. Which isn't exactly healthy, even if it keeps the b'tards out.

Why am I writing this? One thing I have learned this week is that nobody fully agrees with anyone else on political matters, and nobody should talk about politics. I think that may be it.

Ha!

Election Day!!

Never in my life have I cared so much about an election result.

Why? Because I wholeheartedly do not agree with Tory policies.  Because I don't want what they propose for the country, for the economy. Because I really really dislike David Cameron and feel ill at the prospect of seeing his smug inhuman face pulling his "Sincere" expression every time I turn on the TV. I hated it when Tony Blair was plastered all over everywhere, and he wasn't hell bent on implementing everything I despise.

David Cameron stated that he "shares values with Sun readers", which makes me think:
1) No he does not, he has very little in common with any Sun readers.
2) What a blatant bid for Sun readers' votes.
3) If that is in any way true, then he's lied so far about his values. Either way, lies.
4) Ugh. It's that face again.

I have liked the various parodies of the nauseating Sun front page.

It is somewhat reassuring that everyone I have contact with (apart from some relatives!), or have had the opinion of, will not be supporting the Tories. But will that be enough? I sincerely hope so.

I voted today. I hope everyone else did too. I hope they voted with their brain intact and didn't listen to the media...

Voting sickness

I feel ill. Literally ill. I am so very nervous about the result of the election. And so this is going to be mostly a flow of incoherent consciousness...

I found this interesting website today: votematch.org.uk (handy how I don't make links be links, huh?) which has taken up a large chunk of my day.

Unsurprisingly, I came out as matching Liberal Democrats. I think they're rather marvellous, I like pretty much all they say and, erm, yes they could promise the moon on a stick. But still.

Unsurprisingly, I don't agree with the Conservatives at all. 6% concurrence, and I can be sure that the matter on which we agree (for there is but one) is that it'd be nice if people started to get married again. Unlike them, I'd extend it to any couple, but that wasn't asked.

Surprisingly, I matched rather well with the Green Party, other than on the small issue of environmental issues.

SNP also, except I'm not passionate about getting rid of Trident and don't particularly have a burning urge to be independent.

Labour: mostly I agree, but I don't have the anarchist streak required to be a true Labour supporter.

UKIP: relatively sensible on SOME things. Don't agree with them on, erm, Europe, which is a bit of a sticking point.

BNP: I am convinced they must be a joke party. Really. Have a read of their manifesto, it's amusing.

Or, it's quite terrifying that people think like that, get away with it and have supporters. They make appalling statements and actually seem to think it's ok. They use the term "from the third world" as if this is the most despicable thing of all. Some people clearly don't realise that some immigrants actually came from parts of the world we wouldn't want to go on holiday to!!! And I'm not entirely sure where they draw the line at who they classify as immigrants. Anyone who isn't caucasian and a native English speaker is my guess. And I think "from the third world" is a search-and-replace effort for a nonPC term.

But they say it. And get votes. Not very many. But here's the scary bit. On many issues, the Tories share the exact same viewpoint as BNP.

For example, they both think that anyone convicted of a crime that wasn't born in this country should be deported. I have heard this genuinely justified, without even qualifying "crime" as serious.

Tonight I listened to a Tory MP state that we "have to stop Labour's open door policy".

Why is this?

I haven't actually heard a single reason why it is a bad thing that we have immigrants in this country, legal or not. It is merely stated that they are here. They use our health service! As they would expect to. As they should. They take our jobs! And pay taxes. I don't see the problem. I don't understand why it's a key issue.

Ok, I am from Scotland and any incomers are welcome due to our declining/aging population. We have NHS dentists again! We have cool delis! Alex Salmond loves stating how cool we are about immigrants.

Most of us.

So, maybe it's different down south. But it would be nice if people could explain the problem, I just don't get it.

Aside from immigration and the BNP/Tory crossover, I don't agree with anything else the Tories say (apart from marriage). I don't want a Tory government. I detest David Automaton Cameron.

And people are going to vote for them, because they have been brainwashed by the media into hating Labour. Who aren't that bad. Really, they're not.

There's a LOT of "anything but Labour" about. Which is why I feel kinda sick. If we don't vote Labour then that means...

I dream (in a futile manner) of a Liberal win, (in a hopeful
manner) of a Labour win or (in a semi-realistic manner) of a hung parliament, and console myself that if the Tories do win, Scotland will be swiftly independent.

Wittering over. I remember now I'm not meant to talk about politics because I'm an idiot. Ah well.

Stupifying

A truly unneccesary paragraph from phrases.org.uk entry for the origin of the phrase, "sent to Coventry":

This phrase was common in industrial disputes in Britain in the mid-twentieth century. Anyone who was considered to be unsupportive of the workforce was in danger of finding that his/her workmates refused to acknowledge their existence. Co-incidentally this was centred on the highly unionized car industry and especially British Leyland, which was largely based in Coventry. That gave rise to people who had in fact lived and worked in Coventry all their life being sent there figuratively by their workmates.


Ba da boom.

Non blog

So I have days when I have lots on my mind, when there is lots I could say, and I wouldn't utter a word.

Frivolous nonsense.

Like now. And so, in a "clever" keeping of a promise to myself, I'm hiding in the past.

Today my mind is filled with little more than a full and frank analysis of all the men who have entered my consciousness today. When I say full and frank, it's more of a yay/nay thing.

Disturbingly it seems to be mostly
Yay. Including Kevin Bacon, who I have seen on screen many's a time and never once thought mmm. But tonight he had a gee tar. And gee tars are very sexy.

David Cameron is a definite nay, and indeed so is Gordon Brown. And William Hague, and Peter Mandelsohn, and David Miliband (no brain: nay, really), and Ed Balls and all of the other vile looking politicians. I've always had a thing for the LibDems. I have by the way, I distinctly remember wearing an SDP Liberal Democrat rosette to school in the 1987 election. And I definitely wouldn't yay to David Steel, its not all based on aesthetics.

I remind myself of a broken record sometimes. It's the circular grooves.

Huh? Yeah? So what! Oh, right, it's ok, nobody reads these ones. Really.

tiredness

dearie me this is difficult. backdating and catching up, I'm ever so tired.
promises promises, I shall do more later...

eBay

One of these days I'll start selling things on eBay. But for now as I like/need to have far more stuff than I have space or use for, I shall content myself with purchasing. It's much easier, and it does allow the purchase of otherwise unaffordable things.

And as Early Learning Centre determinedly discontinue their best toys, sometimes eBay is the only way to buy. Specifically, they have discontinued most of their Wooden World Road range, except the small section of road that we have, which helpfully has a picture of the entire old range on the box. So, as one 4 year old now desperately hankers after a zebra crossing and a bridge, I spend my time getting outbid on eBay. Again and again. I have set my new stepdad onto the case, he is a seasoned eBayer.

iPhone and Nokia and being very boring

Having met a rather nice Nokia 5800, I am now contemplating the next phone, for a tedious nonchange. Which shouldn't be too soon because my iPhone is after all only 9 months old, despite being contractless now, and I'm not actually an idiot. The next logical step would be another iPhone, because despite many failings, I do love it and I do especially love all my apps. But there is the huge fact that I can't afford another one, unless the current ones survives until the mythical compensation and/or job time. I couldn't really afford this one; despite having a refund on my last PDA to enable the purchase of the actual phone, the 18 months at £35 have crippled me. And as David Cameron is clearly going to win the election and stop Child Benefit (my only income), I need to think cheap and functional, two adjectives that are never applied to the iPhone.

Current contender is the Nokia X6. Which is sadly lacking in iPhoneness, but is cheap.
Sometimes. And it is a Nokia. I like Nokia.
Why didn't Nokia go with Android? A while ago so they can make affordable Android phones like Samsung?
Could I live with a Samsung? Do I really need a Radio Times app? Can I stop going on about it?

Sore throat

So, my notes put the title of "sore throat" for today.
Did I have a sore throat?
Hmm.

Ah yes. An endoscopy. For my stomach complaineth as to the amounts of painkillers applied to it, and so the gastroenterologist recommended an endoscopy. Yuk.

I didn't have a sedative because a) I'm not a fan of anaesthetics of any type, I don't like meddling with the nervous system if not required (painkillers aside) and b) they reckoned the neck thing might make me uncooperative if I wasn't all there. So, no sedation and boy, was that an unpleasant experience. Swallowing a tube you really, really want to throw up is so against every instinct, and it was horrid. But it didn't last long and I am not ulcerated, merely irritated. So all's good and fine, and I got to go home straight after due to being non-sedated.  So I'm a little bit sore and I cheated myself out of a day spent lounging around hospital. Duh.

Over the Rainbow week 4

So I stopped taking notes on this, because that was sad saddery.
Tonight Dani and Danielle were in the singoff, I'm not sure why, neither were rubbish, and Dani went home. The other girls were quite dry eyed compared to last time, or to be precise, the editing team didn't see fit to focus on the tears this week.

Opinion from expert Me, which changes weekly:
Emilie is rubbish, I don't know why she's still in.
Lauren is quite good but there's something not quite winning enough about her.
Steph gets better and more likeable each week. Her mam is/was Baby D, but that's not her fault.
Sophie, I can't decide, she's never all that great in her individual performances - bad song choice I think - but totally stands out for me in any group performance. The panel don't like her much, even Charlotte who battles with her Welsh solidarity.
Jenny is growing on me, but she drew attention to her own lack of dancing and I can't help being critical of her dancing now. Her voice is really good.
Danielle is the most talented, she deserves to win. If I ever watched this before the lines closed and if I was the sort of person that voted, I'd vote for her.
Stephanie probably will win. I don't think she's the best, but I think she'll win.
Jessica I am liking less and less as the show progresses, her voice isn't as good as the others and she's a bit odd.

And that will suffice for this week.

Planes and venus

Since the volcanic eruption in Iceland (I nearly typed Venus there, confusedly. That WOULD be news!) the volcanic ash has grounded all the planes. The skies are empty.

I like it. Selfishly, as I don't have any need to fly, it's rather nice. I think flying is rather unnecessary in most cases. To travel long distance, it is necessary. To travel within the UK, it is silly, but ludicrously often cheapest. To go to another country merely to increase the likelihood of skin cancer is moronic and should be banned. To see the world and soak up culture: acceptable (but not the be all and end all of life); to visit a hot(ter) country and lie by a pool getting fried is one of those peculiar things that obviously comes from the same part of the brain as liking Heat magazine. So, flights being off is generally quite good from a grumpy point of view.

As we are on the flight path to just about everywhere from just about everywhere else, there's always planes in the sky. But now, there's nothing. No trails, no plane sounds. And at night, any bright light doesn't immediately start moving across the sky. A bright light quite probably IS a planet.

And so, tonight, I saw Venus and Mercury and was satisfied that neither were about to land.
Which was very exciting.

Homeward Bound

Boo.
Home again.
Home is rubbish. Home has lots of stuff to do.
Miss companions already.

Getting home, via Carlisle once more, was good. Love car.

Otherwise:disgruntled. The trouble with having a really lovely time with really lovely company is when it's over, normal life seems a bit rubbisher.

But still, it will pass when I remember the lovely company I can have here, and look forward to the next holiday.

Anniversary and mammoth stupidity

Today is the anniversary of my car crash. And of course, I am fully recovered.
Or not. Fully mobile and outwardly healthy, but utterly dependent on massive amounts of painkillers and pathetically restricted still on activities. But getting there, can now drive for an hour or so, and can do MOST things as long as I'm painkillered up and accept that some things sure can hurt. And don't swim or have a bath, or have a drink.

Today we visited the Hull and East Riding Museum, of which better descriptions than mine can be found here.
Really interesting again, lots and lots to see, even if a certain 4 year old's toilet fixation meant I spent an unnatural time journeying between facilities. A huge Woolly Mammoth was in the first room, to which the genius to my left exclaimed "ooh, that's a big elephant". Hmm. Not, incidentally, any of the people I was with, although the children could have been excused.

Hull itself, which we explored a little after, is a fascinating city. Last time we unfairly compared it to York, which is magnificent, but it is still rather fantastic. A little sad, it is lacking the lustre and glory of other cities (for example,York) but it still has a lot to offer. McDonalds and Lush in our case, but that's not Hull's fault. The whole Museum Quarter, where the Hull and East Riding Museum is (cunningly) located, has several museums of interest, including William Wilberforce House. Hull is, understandably, very proud of William Wilberforce, but slavery is perhaps not best presented to small children.

Strange Fortresses

Today's travellage took us to a place called Fort Paull.

A most peculiar place, you can read all about it here. It is a Napoleonic Fort, but that is completely overlooked as it is quite definitely a museum of World War II. Verrrrry interesting, and we were there for a few hours, the kids loved the fabulous adventure playground. They have a WW2 plane that you can climb right into, which is amazing, and more than a little discomfiting. Lots and lots of displays, with model people that were like slightly battered mannequins. Freaky faces, some missing facial features. Quasimodo was in one display, and another which I did not see but which I saw a photo of, of a juggling midget emerging from a birthday cake.

Truly fascinating, but a little sad as it was in a state of almost disrepair, desperately needing an influx of cash to restore the glory. Go, visit, help it rejuvenate.

Lighthouses and not being places at the weekend.

Hmm. Yorkshire. Around Hull, specifically.

Last time we visitated, the cool dinosaur museum was shut. Open weekends and school holidays.
Guess what? Same again. Not holidays here, even though it is the holidays in Scotland and Wales.

Withernsea has a famous inland (reasons for the inlandness were not made apparent) lighthouse.
Which was shut.
Except at the weekend, and from June to September.
Closer examination of the literature revealed the inside to be a museum dedicated to Kay Kendall, famous daughter of Withernsea, and not of any interest whatsoever to our party.

But the lighthouse was jolly nice from the outside, and the beach at Withernsea is very nice.
If a bit windy.

To the south

And so the family D travelled to the country in the South, to that place they call England, to a place by the Humber.

And they travelled via Carlisle, and the lady of the family was conceded to be cleverest of all.

And the people who were there when they arrived were as lovely as they had been 7 years before, even if they had doubled in number.

The joy of having nothing to do of an evening is immeasurably wondrous.

Over the Rainbow week 3

OK, so noone cares about this, but like some saddo I took notes. Oh yes.
So here's the notes:


Charlotte's hair big, Sheila's very voluminous too
"Good lord" nickname to keep
Giant slippers freaky,why have giant ruby slippers?

Girls:
Sophie Evans, Jessica Robinson

Sophie, bla, in school 4 weeks ago. Good reminder. Trying to be fun,
seemed about 11, singing "don't impress me much". Not well. Judges
unimpressed.

Jessica thinks she's different. Uh huh. Only seen quirky side, wants
to show she's got the voice to match. Song?? Sang nicely, not that
powerful. Alw looked impressed.

Alw reckoned both would go further. Rules state: don't vote these two off yet.

Bronte Barbe and Dani Rainer

Bronte, lovely voice. Likes being quirky reckons song shows she is
quirky.
Sings: "Suddenly I see". Looks uncomfortable in slightly ridiculous outfit.
sounds good.
John mean, charlotte liked. Sheila thought she did well, but not well
enough.

Dani, can connect with song. Wants to show charlotte she can be
dorothy. Homesick. Home by michael buble. Nicer than original. Sounds
angry rather than wistful. John and Charlotte liked. Sheila really
liked.

Alw likes dani. Called bronte barbie. Heh. Hinted bronte may go. Prob
coz she's blonde.

Jenny Douglas and Steph Feyron 

Steph isn't going to go far.
Jenny - looks funny. Like craig from joseph. We're not all wonky in Scotland.

Steph - It's o so quiet. Looks even wronger, v grown up. Made good job
of song and performance. Not fair if she is in sing off. Charlotte
liked lots. Sheila thought good. John liked but not as much.

Jenny - Songbird. Boring but pleasant. Managed not to squeak. V grown
up, odd in someone so young. Charlotte v impressed with. Sheila liked,
john loved.

Alw thought steph wonderful. Jenny bla, bla adoration. Liked lots.
Neither in sing off or Lordie will kill.

Something amusing about jodie prenger guffawing to who let the dogs out. She's not the classiest chick in the world.

The girls look like babies in practice, unmade up.

Danielle hope, Lauren Samuels.
Danielle: may be quiet, doesn't mean she's rubbish. sang "Just a little
girl". Comes across as little stroppy girl on stage - not bad thing,
dorothyesque. Liked. Sheila thinks she's great. John liked.
Sophisticated, huh? Charlotte loved too.

Lauren: very smug, not good for votes. Looks like katie holmes. sang"I'll
never fall in love again", ooh I'm a diva, me. Overdoing it. Sheila
liked. John loved, her ego will explode. Charlotte called her
arrogant. Indeed. Love Charlotte.

Alw loved danielle. Knew she was like dorothy. Not so keen on lauren
but def wants to keep her.

Emilie Fleming and stephanie davies.

Emilie: gap annoying in teeth. Public relying on you - overstate
importance.
Clean slate, as good as others.

emilie: don't know song. Didn't like performance. Looks all grown up.
John quite liked. Charlotte didn't like so much, said vocal was iffy.
Sheila wasn't too complimentary, suggested she was led by rhythm, not
in good way.

Stephanie sang lovelily. Smile? Charlotte loved, john thought was
great, sheila thought she picked up as song went on, bad start.

Stephanie: sure she'll win. Erm.  Little kid (brill for dorothy) wants
to be taken seriously.

Alw def loves stephanie. Really liked her performance. Doesn't rate
emilie much but reckons she'll get votes. Er, maybe.

Predict: emilie and bronte sing off, bronte saved.

Vote now (or forever hold your peace)

Night 2, results.
Hair flat, really filmed next night?
Toto: don't care. Weird people. Dogs do not have star quality. Why do
that to your dog? Freaks.

Stupid mash: material girl and emilie is guff.

Experts: Star potential in a dog? Nuh uh.

Jodie prenger animal fanatic. Heh heh. Jodie Prenger: reality TV addict.

They're not painting stephanie very well, badly edited to show
negative comments.

Danielle coming out as strongest this week, also Jenny but she looks
funny. Funny looking birds never do well. Acting thing showed Emilie
and Lauren as good as well as J and D.

D's don't have a scoobie, don't think they like danielle. Quiet?


Panel asked who was not Dorothy for them:
Sheila: not sophie
John: not jessica
Charlotte: not emilie

Think emilie out, except public voted her IN.

Stephanie, jessica and jenny through
Bronte in singoff
Dani and sophie, steph,
Danielle, lauren and emilie...
Danielle through
Emilie through, lauren in singoff

Lauren def will be saved!!! voted off for arrogance. Bronte lowest.

Want bronte to stay. Lauren loved by panel, will be surprised if she
goes.

Bronte lovely voice. Lauren more polished not as pleasant. Dopey grin,
bronte more acty, less pitch perfect. Lauren better voice, bronte
better performer. Lauren quite punchable, but why edit show her
blowing her own trumpet.

Girlies sniffling. Make them friends with each other, then watch them suffer. Top telly. Grr.

ALW saved lauren (obviously, panel LOVED her) after long ramble. Bronte ever so pretty. Lauren
hopefully less cocky but yawn. Arrogance is the only thing against Lauren.

Bronte much nicer on floating moon than Amy was. Alw moved. All girls except lauren
crying!

Aww bronte's lovely. But blonde. Girls looked shocked, she really is
good to be leaving not like slutty amy.
Almost cried. Want to adopt bronte.

Why did the dim public vote for emilie?do they like the gap? mibbee I
should vote, but don't generally watch before too late.
