Yep! It's a live final

Sign Along With Us are now the bookies favourites at 11/10. Beth Porch's odds have really lengthened since the semis and she's not even in the top 10 favourites now. The general view is that she disappointed somewhat in her semi final and I'd agree with that. Plus Covid and nurses were much fresher in everyone's minds during the auditions.

I don't think I can see Sign winning really, my guess is that it will be Jon Courtenay currently

I think he has a great chance too. He's second favourite currently.

I still don’t think there’s an obvious winner yet and it could well depend on both the performances on the night and the running order on the final too.

 

The British however typically either like a sob story or an underdog so I’m potentially thinking that a golden buzzer still won’t win and also potentially it may also mean that none of the finalists who got the judges vote will win either it could be one of the winners from the semis who got there on the judges vote. It’s hard to tell though depends who won each semi and what the variety is in the final too.

So the line up for the final is:

 

 

Steve Royle

Aaron & Jasmine

Magical Bones

Jon Courtaney

Nabil Abdulrashid

James & Dylan Piper

Damien O’Brien

Sign Along With Us

Jasper Cherry

Aidan McCann

 

 

Very male and magic heavy :(

Crikey, that's an annoying amount of magic acts (and I didn't even think Jasper and Damien were that good).

 

I think my money would be on Jon.

So Beth Porch NOT in the final. That's a shock when she's been favourite since March until last week. Are you sure that's the complete list? There's usually more than 10 in the final

That's 100%, the acts are being recorded now. They voting is live though, so I'm not sure how they're doing it :lol:

No, seems like just 10 acts and no wildcard according to Digital Spy. Am absolutely gobsmacked that Beth didn't make the final at least.

I'm not really, her semi performance was quite underwhelming (not that I was a particular fan of her audition, but I can see why it was well-recieved

 

Beth not getting through to the final is a shock. Sirine deserved to get there too as did The Coven!

 

So the public really chose 4/5 magic acts from the final out of the semis. Not one obvious winner for me off that list. Sign Along With Us feel like the most typical BGT kind of winner. I’d say at the moment it’s probably between them and Jon.

 

I feel bad for Aaron and Jasmine because they’re the unique act in a final that’s full of magic / comedy but the public won’t go for that kinda act.

 

If a magic act wines Magical Bones is by far the best.

 

The final tonight begins at the earlier time of 19:30

I won’t be watching the final live tonight so staying away from this thread until I’ve seen it. I’m watching LM The Search and recording BGT to fast the ads :lol:

But that clashes with the Giro highlights! :( Ruining my TV schedule.

 

(oh well, this is the last week of BGT so I better enjoy it!)

Not really bothered if it's all magicians but suppose I'll watch it.

In fairness I'd prefer 5 magicians to 5 singers like there used to be!

Surely all these magicians are just going to cancel each other out?

Here for the annual random play of Lukas Graham 'Take The World By Storm' though *.*
