Britain's Got Talent - Semi-Final 4 - Wednesday

Sh*tting myself, lots of money on Sam for me.

Paul Daniels would have more chance of winning a popularity contest

Think ant & dec just told us who's through... Such a ramp on the school brats its unreal.

The way vaguely familiar acts appear on this, I wouldn't put it past Daniels next year

#1 trending worldwide danzaa

He could try to make Middlesbrough Fc reappear

did anybody else go "REALLY!?" when ant said that Sam was trending no1 worldwide...

no, because I saw it.

You're all v coy, who you on?

freebie on sxool here dan

I'm on nu sxool to qualify, but traded out

well free, unless Sam don't win

Well done Sam

Then so do the other 3 judges

Trader on HS refused me 80 on sam at 1/4

lol GB2. Good point.

Alternatively, you were told to vote for him so Cowell could be seen to have the final say.

maybe she just preferred him to the group TM.  Its possible......

my o/r red on nusxool could beat my all time record

why are you worried?

I'm more worried about Joshua on AI...someone tell me not be please

to be

I reckon you'll be well safe CB.

They'll probably open the show

C'mon its a 3 or at best a 4 horse race and they ain't one of them

You should be worried GB.

They clearly want a J & J final and Pip doesn't have the broad appeal of the previous WGWG's

At least I'm struggling to find it anyway

im not at all worried fll..but a little bit sloppy that i exceeded the liabilities i had set myself

4k bigger red than the ballroom dancers so a bit of scope to lay the other no hopers

I'm naturally very cautious, but even I'd sleep soundly with big reds on those 2 acts.

It will be interesting what they do with Sam. He has the potential to command a sizeable votee imo.

Might have to be Intrade then fll to get the money on I need to green out

I'm seeing Pav as a false fav. The value is definitely with the dog. Of course Cowell can probably pick his winner when it is so close.

I didnt lay the £18 at 1000 but prolly more than half of everything elses matched on them.  Certainly wouldve laid them at 1000 if theyd been in show 1 or 2.

It's upto you GB.
You've read it much better than me. As has hammy.
I'd bring him onside if I had your book tho.

Sam has no chance Cider

Yeah I agree, The loss of 900 is a blow I'd rather avoid. I still think Pip will win but he's no certainty I guess.

I disagree Clydebank...I think he & Loveable Rogues are the only plausable dangers to J&C.

I've been against the dog from the start and haven't seen anything to change my mind....they are total losers for me, and I'm quite happy to stand it....

What's clear is that large reds and greens do not objectivity make...and i am as guilty of that as anyone.

Always the chance the dog could mess up.  I respect the mutt who has a hell of a lot going for it, but Jonathan does have an incredible voice so has to be fave.

I've laid Pip this week and I have an all red book.
Hopefully I'm not just digging a bigger hole.

If I was all green tho, I'd be moving most of it to the 2 J's. So the rationale of doing the same when all red seems sound.

Sam is a non entity in this show.  Cant see a single reason why he could win Enlighten me

Not particularly wanted by the prods so very unlikely for the win but with a decent song choice could hoover up some vote. He does the personal interaction thing which female voters appear to dig.

Who's the 2 J's?

Regardless of the dog routine in the final, there is zero follow-on from them apart from the Royal Variety....they perform for about 2 minutes and that's it...they can't have their own tour, they can't do birthdays/weddings etc... so no money to be made from them whatsoever for SC.....I seem them being act 5 or 6 in the final and finishing 2nd or 3rd...whereas Jonathan & Charlotte I think will be in slot number 8 or 9 of the 11 and be followed by no-hopers, which is the equivalent of going last.

I think you have missed GB this series fll

Wrong Hove. Cowell can make a fortune out of that dog.

Sorry Danzaa. Wrong thread. Was chatting to GB about american idol. Joshua & Jessica

and who's pip?

Philip Pirrip out of AI..I have great expectations or him in the final

It's a tv show first and foremost. Winning has very little effect on aftersales. Ashleigh would be a very good ambassador for the brand.

lol GB2. He did increase my confidence on Scotty.
I found Kris on my own tho

I think he would have been on pip from the off.  Reality has cost him it seems

Cowell loves dogs and a mutt has never won and this is the most talenyted dog yet.  They are all singers bar 2 piss poor dance acts.  The show is the weakest in terms of depth that its ever been.  The mutt's chance is obvious imo.

Simon wants dog and will pimp them, but the public will most likely vote Jonathan - more emotional connection. A lot depends on dog's act, going to be something with judges, but they won't have practiced with judges, they'll have practiced with family member stand ins - people the dog is familiar with. Still we'll have to see how it goes on the night.

If Cowell wants the dog to win..and he might....then they should be evens.

My big mistakes were not locking in some profit on Colton and Skylar after their good weeks.

Pip I've always thought was abit of a twunt and a not very good one. Unlike Cardle.

Like he wanted Ronan etc etc, doesn't mean they'll win

Same here with Skylar. Big wasted green. Foolishly got emo skinny no chance colton on board against my better judgement.

This is different to last year, the race is definitely between A+P and J+C.
I heard that Ashleigh and Pudsey were going to do something with the judges and I think that has the wow and aww factor. For that reason, I'm more or less even green on both AP and JC. The rest, I don't believe can win.

Henry I read it the exact opposite. Public love the dog and may have to ignore the cowell pav pimp as they did with ronan/jai.

Jai had Cowell seething

Yeah they do love the dog. It's be xiting, a real final.

Yup my favourite ever specials moment. The toadies ant and dec spitting feathers too. All spoilt by my bottling it and trading out too much.

I'm with Danzaa although I'd only call it a 2 horse race once I've seen the show.  The edit is always important and unexpected performances and edits can always upset the apple cart

Cowell would love the dog to win for the program/the brand - but also an obese awkward fantastic singer winning would stuff it to BBC's The Voice, so he's going to be very happy either way.

'We' don't like grossly obese people tho.

Everyone loves dogs.


The one act who could get top 3 with the right song is the choir. Much like the choirboy a few years back.
Underwhelming in his semi, but with a better song in the final he was 3rd iirc

I think you might be getting slightly carried away FLL, although my A+P green is marginally less now than my J+C, my only niggling thought is that dog acts normally look like theyre doing well and then get a crappy percentage in the final.
I'm personally hoping this is the year that that changes though.

Also, I fooking hate dogs.

lol trust you

This is a very different dog act. The human part is very likeable and fairly talented too.

Yep both the dog and the human aspects are perfect, both very likeable, very talented, and will appeal across all the age ranges of voters

Should be favourite imo, J&C wont be getting enough votes from younger voters

Loveable Rogues a fair price to nick it on the back of a massive twitterati push

Twitter for me wasn't showing unreserved love for LR. there were huge numbers of LR and Molly..LR and T&P.

Am I alone in thinking LR have NFC?  Singing like bellends and rapping a bit is fairly niche

Loads of personality, different and singing their own very good song GB, plus they'll get ramped.  They are definitely the 3rd faves for me as the market says but what price that makes them I dont really know as the front 2 are way clear.  There isnt a stand out bet, but think i'd plump for the dog if I had to.  Just a gut feeling.

Can they get away with singing the same song 3 times?  Will another song work?

I seem to remember you saying someat similar about Jai last year GB?

No idea CB, but he was a winner here. The policy of lumping on the favs in this usually serves you well...until the last minute

I often spend months trading on these events, only for all of my positions to change dramatically in the last minutes. Diversity, Ulrika and Jai being some of the more profitable examples. It is in the last few minutes tha strongest signals are being sent, if we can interpret them correctly.

iirc I had a small red on Jai, and then tv polls came out. There was a small gamble on him, but nothing major and it was easy to cover him

TV polls don't seem to email me anymore. Must have realised I'm not a 36-50 non gambling female

You don't have to fill in the questionaires to see the results any more because they post them on their twitter page.

I must have clicked to spam box them or summat
