The reality is they put the best act on last to keep the viewers watching till the end. No brainer innit.

Looked to me as though he was taking the piss, and seemed a little embarrassed when Piers Moron took it seriously.

Piers Morgan is a total arse on this show and some of the acts are talentless to say the least.

That lady from the Phillipines annoyed me. Cowell got it spot on, it's not who has the biggest sob story, she was awful.

I could refer you to a previous post, RE. Nancy/X Factor/ Pop Idol ad infinitum...

All designed to screw maximum money from the punters and give an emotional rollercoaster to the viewer. We all fall for "Well Ant/Dec ( delete as applicable),
" This is my last chance ever to, Make it big/Fulfil my childhood dream/Earn enough to pay for my Mums operation/Achieve Temporary Fame by Blubbing onstage/Get a job on a Cruise Ship/Become Someone Without Resorting to an Obscure Method of Suicide” (delete as applicable)
A cluster bomb of all emotions fired at an expectant crowd and public, only with this cluster bomb they all go off, all boxes ticked, 2nd topic of the morning at the coffee machine.. Job done .

A we know, there can be only one winner who gets his chance to show his “Skills” to the long suffering King In Waiting, Prince Charles. How many plate-spinners, cat jugglers and East European folk dancers must be wheeled on and off for the poor chap in one lifetime ? Whats he done wrong in a previous life ?

A good spin would be to have Chuck as an entrant, “ Please, Please vote for me, I have been trying for so long, I am sure I will make a wonderful king, I have been waiting so very long…” “This is My Last Chance……:yawn:

I used to find Simon Cowell vaguely amusing to watch but as these shows have gone on, he's started to take himself way too seriously. He also has a taste in music that doesn't transcend beyond 15 year olds, it may be what makes him oodles of money but he is personally responsible for much of the dross played on the radio these days. Fact is that pop music these days has gone backwards and Cowell takes a bit part of the blame for having no musical taste whatsoever.

He and his programmes are well past their sell by date, he should stick to just doing the X factor auditions and then just stop, as they are quality tv. When it starts getting serious it's bollocks.

I say all the above having only seen one half episode of Britain's got talent as it was shite, maybe I just got unlucky with the programme I watched.

Oh and in answer to the poll question, of course it's rigged.

Have a read of Chart Throb by Ben Elton, very funny, and also suggests how easy it could be to manipulate the public vote.

What talent did the fat wobbler claim to posses?
If I wanted to see some overweight munter mouthing the words to her favourite Beyonce song whilst grimacing & throwing herself around the dancefloor like a moose on heat I'd go to Bugatti's

You got lucky if you only watched one half of one of these shows.

'er indoors watches it every night-fortunately for me, a few glasses of wine has me nodding off within minutes of the crap starting.
