Last vote for me.  Game has lost any hope of integrity.  Alt voting, collusion, and influencing by the very person in charge of overseeing that all 3 don’t occur. 

There’s only been one alt voter that I can think of (so far).

While I am not complaining about the general sentiment, your voting is somewhat odd in that Busted are in no danger at all, so why not give all 4 to Dido? And while Pink is unlikely to feature in the endgame, I do appreciate that you've downvoted it at every opportunity, so it is at least consistent.

You've missed out Rover's scores.

This is because he never leaves a place marker to show he's posting.

 

Ah, that's better. Thank gods that's over and done with.

5 people posted in 3 minutes, when should I have posted my placeholder exactly? 

[TQR 12,180]

Well, we got there. Low-tier music in that round, but top-tier drama between the Didos and the Didon’ts.

Next round? Please, Christ, yes. Happily, it’s a more manageable size and, at least for someone who grew up around this time, it’s bloody brilliant. But if you don't know 'em, you've got all day to vote so give 'em a listen!

Would definitely recommend this at 'peak times', such as when you're up at midnight saving one of the worst songs of the 00s.

Even if the last post is a placeholder, you can put a 'my turn after x' (providing it's after midnight ofc).

I'll be voting later for a good while now anyway now the drama's over. No idea how Dido survived today in all honesty but pleased she did, and I was true to my word at the start of the round (about a month ago!). I calculated earlier that you and MariNisia alone have taken about 300 points of Dido - and she still got through!
