Not that fussed about Baccara, but there's nothing there that I like more.

Correct. you have given Elton & Kiki your -6 so they should be on 12 points

[Toast 14,842]

You've forgotten to take the points off Elton & Kiki.  Should be 12 now, which takes them to the bottom.

 

Ooops - ninja'd by cornetto.

[TQR 12,148]

You’ve also given four points to a terrible song.

So it would seem. And now I'm going to imagine Errol looking at Abba every time I hear the song that was just killed....
