I watched it for the first time yesterday, and I too laughed (a lot) and also cringed (a lot) at Ruby's Sk8r Boi. I also laughed (a lot again) when the people up for probation (?is that what it's called?) had to step forward and Ruby wasn't one of them! She cannot sing. At all. She was shouting.

The big debate I've been reading elsewhere, is whether it should be voted on entertainment value (ie the celebs who perform but can't sing) or on talent (those who can sing but aren't as well known)

Well the judges are obviously doing it on entertainment value, as Ruby is not on the vote

It's good for a laugh! Ruby Wax was hilarious doing the song the day before she did Skater Boy (Ma Chico Latino??) She really went for it and was writhing about on the floor pulling stupid faces - highly entertaining! Kwame is probably the best singer but he is pretty dull. I think Doon is a very good singer, but the teachers always slag her off. From the clips I've seen though, she is very bossy and I think she'll be out soon.

On the whole, I really admire the celebrities taking part for having the guts to do it, especially when they know they can't sing, so Well Done Guys!!

I wanted Ulrika to win, but that's only because I just read here book, and it has raised my opinion of her! So now she's out, I will be voting for Will Mellor, purely on the superficial basis that he's quite a looker and has smashing legs!! And seeing as it's not too serious, (see above Ruby comments) I can do that. And it is all for a good cause

I was voting for Ulrika. Now she's gone it's Ruby.

It's on pure entertainment value not talent.

Yes!!!!! Ulrika has gone. Whoohoo. Can't stand the woman... and her prissy prima donna childish behavior the other night was pathetic "You pushed me out of the way, it was ugly, blah blah blah boo hoo" If she'd spoken to me like she spoke to Doon I'd have knocked her out!

Out of the ones left i'd like Will or Doon to win but I have a feeling it will be Ruby for the entertainment value Having said that of all the contestents in there she is the one who has improved the most. She knows she's crap but she still does her best and 'Money Money Money' last night was almost cringe free (I said almost!) and performed brilliently

will someone please shoot ruby wax, good i thought that woman was annoying on her own tv show but then they let her try and sing !!! go kwame that brothers got soul

Ruby's performances have been previously funny. Mickey was absolutely superb earlier in the week.

But that version of Get the Party Started, was very rigid with the hand movements. And the suit was bad and very untailored

However, both the duets were fantastic Shame Doon had to go, but I still think Kwame or Will (he'd improved tonight in my opinion) are going to win

In all honesty I think out of all of them Will realy seems to have got the most out of the experience and totaly changed his attitude towards how he sings, last night performances by him I thought were great

Go will ( oooo and also he looks nice )

kwame is now out go will ruby wax needs shooting for crimes against humanity !!!!!

Does anyone else remember the fact that Will Mellor is actually a failed pop star??...he realeased a couple of songs just after he left Hollyoaks but they were pap. So does he have an advantage??

I remember that Milky, they were pretty pants! I think the whole thing is pretty funny cos none of them can sing!

And the winner is.......... Will Mellor

Although, kudos goes to Ruby Wax. Don't think I'll ever beable to listen to Sk8er Boi in quite the same way anymore!
