BGT complaint

[Dee Sa]

is it a coincidence or what ? SUBO didnt win BGT and now RONAN PARKE didnt win either, is it because the panel already know they are going to make big bucks out of them so therefore letting someone else win will help their talent show tours ?
I did not waste my money voting after reading in yesterday's papers about all the dirty tricks that go on behind the scenes, they have been really cruel to some contestants, even though they got the three "yeses" they later get a letter to say thanks but no thanks.Time this show is voted off the tv altogether.

It's all pointless trash anyway

"It's all pointless trash anyway " In what way, I thought the point was to provide entertainment. Millions watched it and voted, they must have liked it. To select very talented artists, I saw the three finalists, they were excellent.

I haven't seen the show just a minutes of the final, it appears to have met its objectives, so not really pointless trash!!

A lot of negative publicity about this show I know, that does not make it pointless!

Obviously the wrong person won in your point of view!!

no complaints from me, my £79 voting for Jai ....... was money well spent.

@Ratter15 - I find all programs of this nature pointless anyway, Big Brother, X- Factor, Strictly all that sort of stuff. Only one I've ever seen is the Dancing on Ice thing because both my wife and daughter are very good figure skaters/Ice Dancers and want to see it.

To me they don't contribute to society, they have an ultimate aim of enriching Simon Cowell and a few select others even more than they are already and to have it thrust down our throats constantly in every form of media kind of bugs me. I don't like being force fed religion, being force fed the Cult Of Cowell's Pocket depresses me even more. Wrong winner??? couldn't even tell you who any of them were.

That not withstanding, it's not my cup of tea but each to their own, the final of the French Super-14s Rugby was brilliant last night though.

Slapshot, Im not a lover of this type of program either, Im just making a point, you say they are pointless. You say "they have an ultimate aim of enriching Simon Cowell"

So that was another point that it achieved, Im sure Simon Cowel is richer. do you really think the show was put on the TV to enrich society, lolol

Not pointless, you just don't like these shows.

Mick, that will teach you to vote on your mobile!!

They do warn you that a vote will cost you more on your mobile!!

according to today's press, it seems that the anonymous blogger who claimed the show was fixed never existed, and the whole "story" was just a ploy to whip up interest.

BGT is after all just entertainment, and the production company are entitled to do anything they like to make it more interesting/entertaining, etc. But getting the police involved in this publicity stunt might just be seen as a cynical step too far...

the result was being discussed on the radio earlier and it was commented at in past years, the runners-up have often ultimately had more success with their careers than the winners.
