Heat Five Lineup

So two of the “lineup leaks” >!Dom & Ninja going through and Celestial not being invited back!< turned out to be false…

Given >!how much time it takes Celestial to prepare their act, I doubt they were a reserve…!<

Is there no Top 5 or Top 3 anymore?

So it looks like there's one more semi-final, and then the finale. Does that mean they don't have a Top 5 or Top 3 anymore? Or will they announce those in waves during the finale?

KSI

What's everyones thoughts on KSI? I personally can't stand him, yes I l would like to see a judge that actually criticizes acts but he does it in a way that isn't constructive or anything like that instead to me he does it in a way that is just him being a total jerk as we say with wei on Saturday.

Am I missing something on Rafferty Coope...

He had great likeability and showmanship in his audition, the magic was mid though.

In semi final he had a pop at Simon straight away which lost his showmanship as he came across overly tense and was going a million miles an hour until the end of performance. Most of the audience looked disinterested but the judges comments were extremely positive.

Also he knew the time on watch when he looked through the music list on phone so confused about the deal about him "guessing" the song.

Did the BGT judges make a mistake letting Antigravity go home?

Ted Hill was brilliant. Genuinely funny and creative. But Antigravity had a 20% chance of winning the whole competition and went home in SF3.

Simon said they lacked a human element. But their staging took weeks of design, coding and choreography to build. Is that not talent?

What actually counts as talent on a talent show — what you see on stage or what went into making it?

‘KSI’

I never watched BGT until I thought to watch along with my Mum as she loves the show. I just have a couple of observations…

The camera angles can sometimes make it difficult to see exactly what’s happening with the performance, I kinda wish they just kept it at one zoom level?

And ‘KSI’… I just find him to be the worst of the judges. One of his recent verdict, he said something like ‘I couldn’t connect to it as I didn’t know the song’. I mean really? He also golden buzzed the lady spinning the fire wheel with her feet - over the lady performing the acrobatic stunts in the air with the support who the crowd was going wild for and deserved it much more!

I guess all judges have their good and bad points. I could just see KSI being eventually replaced

Anti-Gravity Not Making The Final Has Me Suspicious

Does anyone else find it weird that Anti-Gravity did not get the public vote?

They were the favourites to win. Ted Hill wasn’t. Yet he won and Anti-Gravity didn’t.

Did Simon Cowell deliberately try to influence the vote by giving noticeably more positive feedback to Ted Hill and saying Anti-Gravity wouldn’t win?

Paul Potts Gives His Opinion On The New BGT Format! 📣

I can see why he’s making some of these arguments as if some of the acts from recent years competed back then he’d have probably had a slimmer chance of making the Final let alone winning given they’re more notable compared to how he was back then and to be fair similar to Paul I too used to detest both acts residing in other countries competing on the show and acts competing more than twice though in recent years I’ve warmed to such things.

I am pondering what his opinion on the Overuse of the Golden Buzzer is in the Auditions though alongside the Original formula it followed (cough thanks for breaking that Bruno; I guess nobody can say you didn’t make an impact in such a short space of time cough) given how he seems to express a distaste for the Live Show Golden Buzzer though oddly he highlights how the Public & Judges used to get a say solely based on the Top 3 even if the judges would on occasion split the vote down the middle; again I can get his argument as without it maybe some Finalists from the last couple of years wouldn’t have made it but at the same time his argument is a bit flawed given Series 11 was solely Public Vote based via Top 2 and Series 14 saw the judges pick a Top 3 every night, Amanda get a casting vote in the event of a tie in judges votes and the Public Voting on the remaining acts on a weekly basis only for the Finalists to all be revealed at the beginning of the Final (Also I can’t see Magical Bones ever having been a Finalist over Sirine Jahangir without that format given she placed 2nd in the Public Vote behind Sign Along With Us who for some reason weren’t even in the Judges Top 3 acts of the night?).

The Semi Final Golden Buzzer is SO unfair - and it seems like no one is talking about it

The way the golden buzzer has been set up for the semi finals is the most unfair thing and makes no sense.

For the judge to have to press their buzzer at the end of the act means that they have no idea what's coming next and a potentially amazing act could have missed out.
What's more if you are the last act (even thought I know this happened with semi final 1) the chances of you getting the buzzer are VERY slim.

To have almost half of the semi final acts (once the wild card/s has been added) based on how the judge felt in the moment is so unfair and takes away from the final being based on the public vote. At least when the judges were picking between the 2nd and 3rd they were still all top 3.

If they're going to follow this format I honestly think they should wait until after all the acts have performed to pick the golen buzzer - of course it takes away from the suspense in the moment but it's SO much more fair which to me would be so much better.

Am I alone here or does anyone else feel the same way?!
