October 10, 20204 yr Still not a fan but I'll take on Steve Royle's message and say well done to Jon for winning!
October 10, 20204 yr It's becoming all too predictable, isn't it? Either wear a uniform (even if you're only an army cook) or tell the country how wonderful it is (while ignoring how useless the government is).
October 10, 20204 yr I predicted Jon as the winner after seeing the performances although he wasn’t to my taste. Nabil definitely expected to be at least top 3 his face when they revealed it was Steve in over him was a picture :lol: Aaron and Jasmine, Magical Bones and Sign Along With Us were my top 3.
October 10, 20204 yr The Voting Stats Super close between 2nd/3rd/4th but Jon was a runaway winner ! Jon Courtenay 35.7% Sign Along With Us 15.3% Steve Royle - 14.1% Nabil 13.9% James & Dylan Piper 5.7% Damien O'Brien 4.6% Aidan McCann 3.7% Jasper Cherry 3.3% Magical Bones 2.9% Aaron & Jasmine - 0.8% https://t.co/x7YTI733BL Edited October 10, 20204 yr by troylovesmusic
October 10, 20204 yr Wow! I didn’t expect him to win by that much! But 35% in a ten way vote is very impressive props to him tbh like it’s not my kinda act but it is clever and it was very British too. I can see why he done well. Aaron and Jasmine and Magical Bones deserved better but not too surprised they were 9th and 10th. 2nd 3rd and 4th so close as well! I wonder what the % were for the semis too. I can imagine some of those being close especially Jon’s for example as he’d have walked that had it been done the old way probably same said for Nabil and Steve too.
October 11, 20204 yr I’m so surprised Nabil didn’t make the top 3 Nobody was more surprised at that than Nabil himself. His face when he found out he wasn’t top 3 was funnier than everyone of his performances put together he thought he’d walked it :lol:

They definitely suffered by there being so many of them. There was a distinct advantage for the ones who were put through by the judges. They all had about six weeks to prepare. Even if the others were told they were in the final on the day the vote closed, one of them (Aiden) only had a few days and some of the others had less than half the amount of time the judges' choices had. Having the SFs spread over a single week (as in previous years) would at least have reduced that difference.
October 11, 20204 yr Author How did Amanda & Miracle get 18.5% in their semi? :lol: it was very close that week!
October 11, 20204 yr Sirine was pretty close to Sign Along With Us in her semi final. If she’d been on a different show she could’ve scraped through. A few times my faves actually come second in their semi! The public voting for 4 extra magic acts in the final though :lol: :lol: they really need to put the similar acts in the same semi to try and balance out the final a bit.
October 11, 20204 yr Author Also it's only just occurred to me how long the judges have been together - the next series will be their 10th together! That's very uncommon for a talent show
October 11, 20204 yr I’d really like Ashley to join full time as a judge now he’s been the best judge this season during his stand in. Amanda is my favourite from the usual lineup though. I can kinda take or leave both David and Alesha now.
October 11, 20204 yr Author I'm not expecting Ashley to stay with him doing Dancing on Ice which films at the same time, and it might be a bit too much being a judge on consecutive ITV talent shows in the year - but I'd welcome him if he does!
October 11, 20204 yr Also it's only just occurred to me how long the judges have been together - the next series will be their 10th together! That's very uncommon for a talent show I think it's because the work so well together. Let's not forget that 10 years ago, BGT was really struggling in the ratings against The Voice, but they hit a winning forumla with Alesha and David joining the panel.
October 14, 20204 yr Author The BGT Christmas special filming was suspended due to crew testing positive for corona, and Deadline are reporting that it's unlikely to go back ahead :/
October 17, 20204 yr It's just hit me that part of the reason the Judges' comments seemed to be more interesting than past years is that we didn't have an audience their to boo their heads off when anyone said anything remotely negative :lol: I really hope they keep that for future live shows as it's just irritating.
