BGT 2025

[Elderflower14]

Here we go!

I’ve seen the magician IRL at a wedding!

Loved the Magician and Chinese lady

I find magicians boring. The lady on the bike was amazing. The GB act makes me feel uncomfortable. I think what they are doing is a wonderful thing but putting them on BGT is not wonderful.

Have to agree. As if the judges wouldn't put them through 🤦🙄Can you imagine the outrage?

What you think they should be hidden away from public view ?

The people performing don't want your 'sympathy'. What is there to be 'sympathetic' about? They were happy, enjoying themselves, performing with gusto, leading their best lives.

Honestly, that some still feel 'sympathy' when they see people with a range of disabilities, rather than seeing 'abilities' say more about those posters than anything else.

I am so sorry - this must have enraged and upset you elderflower.

The group themselves are a well known collective - also been on CIN if I recall. It's about celebrations and inspiration. The sort of thing that is always on the RVS.

People who don't want to see disabled performers having their best time should know better than to watch variety shows. But I suspect they want them hidden from view. This was so much better and more purposeful than the irritating Nativity style primary school kid rip off acts.

Leave it down to the public vote to decide whether they progress or not.

I don’t think that at all. For me it feels like they are being exploited and of course they will be put through for all the wrong reasons.

Expoitation ?That's quite an accusation ....

I just told you how it makes me feel.

I’m also sick of sympathy acts getting GB. There are loads of TV shows where a sympathy act is absolutely the right fit, this show should be for talent.

I also think the public are getting sick of it. The year Viggo Venn won was sympathy act in-your-face at every opportunity type year and he won IMO because people lashed out and had enough of having it shoved down our throats.

Just checking...on what show would you deem a 'sympathy act' the 'right fit'?

The other concern I have is whether these people could give informed consent for appearing on BGT. I guess some of them could but not all of them.

I have the same concerns with young children appearing.

Loved the magician, superb showman and amazing magic, although the trick did remind me of ‘X’ s magic trick a few years ago (was half expecting him to appear).

Chinese unicycle bowl trick - how does she do it, but there wasn’t much else to her performance. Once she’d done it a couple of times, you’d seen the act.

I don’t see how they give permission when there understanding of giving permission is as it is.

Informed consent can be given by parents or carers.

just watching last weeks

How did we miss this on the planner. Watching now with mini blondes

Was it hit the buzzer day

Mini blondes. Awwww bless them. I'm gonna cry in a minute. They are so sweet - she was singing we need some acceptance 💖

Red panda lady. Clever lady on the bike

Harry - Another magician - which I love. But how as can't do a billion videos of diff ice creams /times etx

Yes it's a trick. But how

Now watching tonight...

I was quite bored with the basketball act

I'm bored in general this year!!

I can take or leave BGT

Not a fan of magicians on the TV because you never know what's real (I know it's filmed in front of a live audience) but I need the magician to be right in front of me so I can see everything before I'm impressed. The basketball was nothing we haven't seen before. Most acts could maybe entertain me for 2 minutes if I was otherwise bored but there isn't any I would pay money to go and see.

Loved this Korean magician 🎩

I liked this guy from South Korea. He was amazing

How the hell did he do that? slick as fuck!
