The Haunting...??

I've just watched The Haunting on BGT, Im a little confused, what exactly did they do? I watched it again, and it just looked like they guessed what song Amanda chose and jumped out on her a few times? Did I miss something?

Ridiculous, designed to be unnecessarily scary with no real point

NicoAndTheNiners · 27/05/2019 20:42

If you missed something I missed it to. Seems to be lights, sounds, darkness and spooking Amanda by talking about ghosts and nothing else.

itswinetime · 27/05/2019 20:43

Nope is all fancy lighting and timing I don't get the talent I guess they are hoping the 'story' about Simon having a ghost is enough to keep us hooked 🤷🏻‍♀️

TotheletterofthelawTHELETTER · 27/05/2019 20:46

Nope.
They were really bad at the switch overs too. You could see them moving around.

Blackcountrychik83 · 27/05/2019 20:47

My dp said how do we know that song book didn't have the same song on every page! We missed the point too....

CurlyhairedAssassin · 27/05/2019 20:48

It’s pathetic, I hated it. Big set up. The only person that displayed a bit of talent was actually Amanda Holden, seems she can act a bit at times when she wants. Grin

Interesting that just before they called her up, Simon said under his breath “stop over acting.” I wondered if he forgot his microphone was switched on!

AnnieMay100 · 27/05/2019 20:50

I agree it was a load of rubbish, you could see the woman swap places with the ‘ghost’ too

itswinetime · 27/05/2019 20:50

I can see why it would be scary as the person in the dark but it doesn't work as a variety act.

CurlyhairedAssassin · 27/05/2019 20:53

Oh they’ve just put it on as something different. There was another magic act that was put through wirh a plant from the audience. Terrible fake “shock and surprise” acting from that woman as the one that got “picked” so I can’t wait to see that one in the live shows.

LIZS · 27/05/2019 20:57

You could see the actor switchovers. Not entertainment imho.

Mammyloveswine · 27/05/2019 21:02

I thought the initial audition was good but thought This was shite tonight

Have been distinctly underwhelmed by tonight's show. I reckon the female dancers and thr schoolkids (total natvity rip off but thats a whole other thread) will go through.

GoFiguire · 27/05/2019 21:04

Oh, is there a thread about the Nativity rip off? Link please!

itswinetime · 27/05/2019 21:06

The kids and the dog would be my bet it's should be the dancers though. The haunting don't stand a chance I'm guessing.

Newmum102 · 27/05/2019 21:09

The haunting was rubbish. I did not get the point of it at all. I reckon the kids and the dog will go through

Notnownotneverever · 27/05/2019 21:11

My whole family did not understand this one. It just wasn’t a real act this time. There just wasn’t any content.

freshstartnewme · 27/05/2019 21:12

Pointless shite at best, although Amanda said 'fuck' and that made it all worth while Grin

Mammyloveswine · 27/05/2019 21:18

Oh no gofiguire but there should be! Im a teacher and find that headteacher so fake... but i may be jaded and cynical!

itswinetime · 27/05/2019 21:20

The shock value of the first was in the quick change over they didn't have that this time. It was a novelty act at best it doesn't stand up to repeated viewings when you know what is coming

Listlover · 27/05/2019 21:21

It’s total rubbish

Piggywaspushed · 27/05/2019 21:25

Me too mammy but am also a teacher...!

Mammyloveswine · 27/05/2019 21:34

Grin very much the mr poppy school of teaching i feel piggy

TeaAndChocolateBiscuits · 27/05/2019 21:55

Good, I'm glad it wasn't just me. Shame, I was looking forward to watching them.

LucyAutumn · 27/05/2019 22:06

Is it just me or did Amanda look like she was going to belt her one at the end when they got back on stage? Grin

Fruitbatdancer · 27/05/2019 22:08

If these are the best we’ve got then never mind brexit we are really in the shite! What a load of codswallop. The kids are cute but weren’t as good tonight as before.
And that dog bollocks- did Boone are him randomly flip a few more sheets of paper over after Simon did to make it say what he wanted Grin

Fruitbatdancer · 27/05/2019 22:09

Highlight of the night was Amanda saying fuck. She annoys me as she overacts with that terrible laugh, but the fuck was the most real non acted thing she’s said in weeks!
