Episode 7 - Back to Reality

Professional Boybandologists Zoe and Amy react to New Kids on the Block's new single and video for 'Boys in the Band'. Are NKOTB better judges of the best boybands than us and our highly scientific scoring? Doubt it. But we still examine Donnie Wahlberg's boyband rap and decide if he got it right or wrong. 

Boyband of the Week is a year-by-year breakdown of the first decade of reality TV - what gems did Simon Cowell and Louis Walsh delight us with?

Our news round up features O-Town returning to Isling-town, why doesn't Zoe pee more often, Amy has something to say about OhNick Carter, and results of the round two matches in the Boyband Video World Cup

Amy and Zoe continue the journey to complete The Ultimate Boyband Chart as week-by-week we rank every boyband by their success, their endurance, their style and their sex appeal (just a few of the categories in this incredibly scientific process) to find out who is the greatest ever boyband.
