I can’t find the BGT thread so starting one here.

Just catching up on tonight’s episode.

The dancing duo were so mediocre. Shame on Bruno for changing his mind, he should have stuck to his original decision.

Cillian is brilliant. I'll vote for him when it opens. 😃

Paperlate · 04/06/2023 20:50

I think he just didn't get what he meant by symbol.

I don't thing he's trying to screw it up, this is very odd behaviour. He didn't seem to understand the word 'symbol'.

Show quote history

I was confused too. Think shape would have been a better word rather than "write a symbol". Surely it would be "draw a symbol".

MadCatLady27 · 04/06/2023 20:50

Cillian was good!

I'm a huge fan of Derren Brown and would have liked to see a big reveal at the end however

Elderflower14 · 04/06/2023 20:50

Cillian was so brilliant... So self deprecating.. And a bloody good ambassador for Autism!

Ducatifan · 04/06/2023 20:51

Simon is on another plant. There is something really odd about his behaviour.

Rowthe · 04/06/2023 20:51

The end of the act was great.

The other parts were tricks we'd seen before

Oh does he have autism?

Paperlate · 04/06/2023 20:51

I don't like magic acts, but he was good.

Homer28 · 04/06/2023 20:51

I’ll admit I haven’t watched any of these types of shows for a few years but is this the first time Simon has been slowed/slurred like this? Seems drastically different from how I remember him.
Funny the media all picking up about the screamer but nothing about Simon. 🤷🏻‍♀️

He certainly is.

Not for me at all don’t see the hype

I much preferred the mean and cutting but generally honest Simon of previous years (which seems a long time ago now). No fun since he sold his soul to the woke and falsely nice brigade in the name of inclusivity and £££s

It's since he became a dad. It's properly softened him. He does still have flashes of the old Simon, but his criticism is much kinder these days.

I'm a bit delayed but Amy Lou, I didn't like her version of that song. The melody was off.

Pantsman, I have no words.

softsweets · 04/06/2023 20:53

Is Simon ok? I really get the impression there is something not quite right, which I can't put my finger on. When he was trying to suck his straw the other week he reminded me of my grandad, who has Parkinson's.

happyinherts · 04/06/2023 20:53

Simon said it earlier - 'I'm having trouble speaking.' Is it to do with cosmetic surgery?

MadCatLady27 · 04/06/2023 20:54

Oh no Viggo...

Simon definitely doesn't seem right, he even said earlier he was struggling to speak - although sounds like he's got a sore throat tonight but not the reason for him struggling surely?

He has a cracking on a bit, I mean how old is he?

Meredusoleil · 04/06/2023 20:55

I thought he drank something through a straw and it went down the wrong way, so he was trying not to choke and couldn't speak as a result?!?

EbonyRaven · 04/06/2023 20:56

Is this some emporers new clothes thing? I can't see the appeal in Cillian. Seen it all before. He seems OK, but the act seemed muddled and a bit confused. 5/10 IMO. Not worthy of winning. JMO. The naked dancing man was fucking dreadful.

Still loving Amy Lou here.

Ghetto Kids were good but it was their weakest performance IMO and it's noticeable that one is still missing. Travis was OK. The acrobat couple were OK but have been better. The little girl (Olivia) was a 6/10 tops IMO. Amy is the best so far IMO.

OhhhhhhhhBiscuits · 04/06/2023 20:57

This final is just dull. Pants man is funny but never going to win. I just can't get excited this year about any of them. It's like they have given up trying to hide that it's fake and fixed.

MadCatLady27 · 04/06/2023 20:58

Liliana could be good

Hope they don't swamp her with backing dancers it should just be her on her own

AutumnCrow · 04/06/2023 20:59

I turned over a while back. Trying to find something to watch in the background that isn't Fiona Bruce or Jonathan Creek.

She is very good. Like the song choice too. Powerful.

FancyFanny · 04/06/2023 21:00

I like this young dancer- she's really natural- the VT was still a little scripted but you could still see her personality and passion shining through and it seemed like her own words.
