Snatch Talk

Episode 5

It’s another long one today as honestly the performances were so good. The Velvet Snatch ended up using bigger clips of them just so you could see how amazing they all were. It was the semi-finals of the competition this week and rather than the standard theme we had Disney Villains where each of the remaining contestants took on the role of a different villain to impress regular judges Ophelia Balls, Penni T, Plastiq, and Miss Rory. Also in exclusive backstage interviews we get to hear from the contestants, organiser and sound engineer Cris Howe, and judges Plastiq and Penni T on whether their week 1 predictions for the final had come true or not!
