Glow Up - BBC Three

[hrh89]

Wish they would put the whole series on iPlayer I hate waiting a week. I don’t understand why they do it with 90% of shows yet there’s always a few they drag out and make you wait for.

Totally agree about Nikki, her make-up look during the gender challenge was godawful! I also thought Brandon made it a lot further than he should have done.

Stacey's voice got on my nerves in the first series, but funnily enough it isn't bothering me too much now. Maybe I've gotten used to it!

Someone posted on Reddit about how they auditioned for the show, and the producers were more interested in finding Instagram influencers or people who would make good TV. They also said that Paige basically sailed through the entire process despite missing challenges.

Here's the full post:

Interesting read thanks for posting! Sadly doesn’t surprise me. As much as I enjoy this show it is a shame it’s all social media muas. The French guy was the only “outside the box” mua and clearly there to tick a box which is such a shame as he was really talented I wanted to see more of his work.

I was quite surprised tbh because there’s already been one series of this show so it’s not like you can’t see what sort of situations there will be. Then again I guess until you are in that situation you don’t know how you’ll adapt. I wasn’t too fussed that she went she’s not my favourite.

Yeah I agree, they seemed to focus quite a bit on her Instagram following too.

Im so shocked

Just had a scroll through his page, I'm still kinda surprised that he's only 20.

Ding Dong

Why has Lisa Elridge never been on this?

She has, she was in series 3 I believe.

I've been desperate for them to open in the UK for years. The flagship store in Paris is like heaven

The queues are manic

I usually watch on Netflix, but they are at least a season behind! Is it on Channel 4 or ITV?
I have yet to like any of the presenters for it ( Stacey Dooley and Mays Jama, if I recall correctly). They both seem a bit dippy/insipid and I cannot stand how they don’t pronounce the letter t when it is in the middle of a word.
I also feel it is more about the quirky contestants and their journey/challenging past or how they present themselves that makes them a winning contender, rather than actual talent!

i think its on iplayer

I would like Ophelia to win too! She’s really into the special effects and gore which I love and think it’s a real art to make something look so realistic. She’s fab

 

[lockdown sux]

How can you watch this from the UK?

Bbc 3 or I player

 

[Catlady1]

Even though he is a good 10yrs older than me, I quite fancy him

Jonny Vegas is one of my secret crushes. I know shameful

Sooo do we think the right person went out the last episode?

 

[hrh89]

Yeah I was really shocked at Ophelais attitude in that task she’s been so nice throughout. Maybe the pressure just got to her but still very unprofessional. I still think she’s the strongest though!

Also what a cop out tonight's face off was

 

[Whatliesbeneath]

I feel like as a competition its not very fair or consistent, they all come from different sides of the industry some just do work on instagram where others work freelance and if im honest i dont care about painting a face and just writing words on. So uninteresting but I will watch

 

[Restless Native]

Could mibbe argue that Sophie has an unfair advantage as she's studying it at uni

Shes my favourite though so I hopes she wins

 

[HereForTheCraic2345]

Loved Eve! But Ophelia was soo creative and produced some amazing work, well deserved in my opinion, it was also great too see her confidence bloom in each episode.

 

[Zulkraa]

This happened in a previous season - I can’t remember which one.

 

[thegirlscout]

@TheRealGretchen would you be able to tell us how they filmed it during the pandemic?

 

[higos827]

I think we need new judges tbf

 

[milkandhuni]

Is that Haus Of Labs makeup any good?

For complexion YES

 

[HereForTheCraic2345]

Soooo what do we think of the winner?!
