Anyone else been watching this? Its worth watching just for Ruby Wax - she sings almost as well as I do.

But the star has got to be Kwame - he has a fantastic voice - can remember when he was on Night Fever he always stole the show then.

Any other views?

We've been discussing this on THIS THREAD so far, BusyBee - but you're quite right . . . . . . it deserves a thread of its own.

Kwame's by far the best singer, but my fave so far is Jo. I'll be voting to keep her in tonight.

Gutted!

Oh well, never mind. Thought it might have been John who went tonight, though. Will was tremendous, Ruby was incredible!!!

Why have they put Kwame on probation? To get as many people as possible ringing up to save him, I think - and in the process raise as much money as they can for Comic Relief.

They're all doing fantastically well - roll on tomorrow night.

I thought Will sang really well tonight.

(Oh and I liked Ulrika's top! (crochet I think)).

I hope that John stays in tonight. Kwame is a good singer but he's a bit precious. For those of you without the live feed (why have the Beeb not used BBC3?) I'll give you my thoughts so far. Firstly, Kwame, you should have seen his reaction to being on probation. He was really cross about it. When they watched the play back he thought he was pretty good and that he should never have been put on probation. Ruby is undoubtedly the star of the show, but Doon and John are also really funny and thoroughly nice. Ulrika is an utter pain. It was a shame that Jo went but she never really got into it. I would have loved to have seen more of Jo and Ruby chatting together as they were truly hilarious.

Yeah I saw it on the live feed, Kwame was very cross
I think John will stay, he will get saved by the students if not the puble, Kwame might get saved by the public so that means Ulrika will go
That is my prediction I will probably get it wrong

So it was 'bye bye' John tonight.

I thought it was the right decision - the song just didn't suit his personality . . . . unlike Ruby's! Isn't she er, er, indescribable!!! Sheer entertainment.

Kwame sang beautifully and fully deserved to win the public vote. Doon didn't really do her song justice - too difficult, I think. And I thought Will gave quite a lacklustre performance.

So it's Ulrika, Doon and Will singing for survival. My feeling is that Doon might well go tomorrow.

I thoroughly enjoyed Will's performance tonight. It was so nice to hear him sing a ballad, for a change.

Ruby really is something else, isn't she? Pure entertainment, like you say Kaz. You just can't help smiling but if we're going for voice, she really doesn't have one, does she?

Ulrika continues to surprise me and I hope she stays in till the end.

I think Doon will go tomorrow, too.

I have a feeling that either Will or Kwame will win.

Ulrika - Sang so much better tonight, slightly off in parts but practically unrecognisable from the terrified child that sang on the first show.

John - Bless him, he tried so hard!

Kwame - I'm so glad that he was on probation tonight, the teachers were spot on saying that he needed to contain his singing and not be so flamboyant, he really did them proud tonight!

Ruby - Utterly fantastic, even though she is doing this for comedy value, her voice has seriously improved!

Doon - Sang one of my all-time favourite songs, and very nearly got it right. Excellent!

Will - DDDRRRRROOOOOOOOOOOLLLLLLLLL!!!!!!!!!!!!!! (yeah he was ok!)

That was such a difficult song that John had .. not fair. I thought that he tried really well and hopefully it will be bye bye Ukrika tomorrow, I see someone has already described her as a pain.

As for Ruby wee... I bet her kids are well and truly embarassed now! Go Girl!!!

I've really got into watching this via the interactive bit on BBC1! It's great watching them rehearsing.

Tonight, Ruby is singing "Money. Money, Money" a la Fiddler on the Roof Topol style for part of it - should be really good!

Ulrika is singing "Close to You" (Carpenters song) but may well be out tonight as she's not that great at the moment. She sais she is expectiong to go.

Will is singing Handbags and Gladrags which is a shame as it's one of my favourite songs and at the moment he's over-singing it.

Kwame is doing "Kiss from a Rose" by Seal and Doon is doing some 70s disco number that I don't know the name of.

At the moment I want Ruby to win! Kwame is too good, Will is too arrogant, Doon is too "Who's she?" and Ulrika's too competitive!

Oh please make Ulrika go. Did you see her behaviour at the photo shoot that they had last night in the ballroom after the show. Talk about a prima donna. If whinging was an olympic sport she'd win the gold medal for Sweden. I was sorry that John went he was such a genuine guy, (couldn't sing but who cares). Ulrika has already been horrible to Doon, who is LOVELY. Just hope she goes tonight.

I think Ruby will go tomorrow too. There are only so many songs she can murder. She is entertaining to watch, but a singer she is not.

Was glad Ulrika went - did you see how she flashed her smile for effect when she noticed the camera was on her?

I'm not sure that Ruby will go tomorrow - the public (and me!) absolutely love her!

She's the only one who truly gives an entertaining performance. The others are better singers, granted - but that's not what this programme's all about.

Thought both Will and Kwame were excellent tonight. I didn't care much for the song that Doon sang, and it wasn't her best by any means.

My money's on Doon to go tomorrow - but my track record of predicting hasn't been very good so far.

I watched it and really enjoyed it
Watching them on interactive through the day they mostly sing their songs a lot better than on the nightly show.
They sang these songs last night blinkinlovely.


Ruby - Money Money Money

Ulrika - Close to you

Will - Handbags and Gladrags

Kwame - Kiss from a Rose

Doon - Somebody Else's Guy

Ooops showing my age with that last one which I love, everyone always gets up to dance to it at do's

I watched it interactive last night. Nigella Lawson was in the house and she cooked them supper. They had chicken, peas and "melt in the mouth" mash followed by slut red (yes!!) raspberries and chardonnay jelly.

Yum yum!!

In the spirit of Comic Relief - vote for Ruby. She epitomises the whole concept of the Comic Relief ethos.



Think I've been swallowing a dictionary today - got my clever head on. Dont worry it will be gone tomorrow.

True .....she is also 'tone deaf' I think.

I have enjoyed her antics but not her singing !

I was surprised tonight that Kwame and Will got the public vote. I still want Ruby to win!!!

This programme is so cool and all the celebrities really seem to have bonded together so it's almost like a little BB2 atmosphere going on. I thought Doon was going to cry tonight - not because she was sad at going home, but because she was going to miss her mates so much.



Vote for Ruby - you know it makes no sense!!!
