BGT Semi 1

I think Pre Skool will be there. The smartie kids coming top 3 tonight was a good sign.
Pre skool far more voteable

Singer backlash?All the previous singing winners? Two?

Yeah Pudsey could belt out a tune alright

A good sign for their chances that YC weren't put through tonight I guess.If they don't make it,probably YC get the WC?

I did take 12-1 EW on the boys earlier. They were placed in a heat with absolutely nothing to beat, the producers are the best illusion act, even selling them to the forum!

Yes, but PS will be through

I have money up on pre skool top 3 Tim

When you compare the Brothers to J&C or even Potts,they come up way short IMO....whether TGBP are concerned is another matter.

Ever spend over an hour online shopping and lose the basket? Grrrrr ffs!

Vocally not far behind and far more voteable

Don't see it personally,but appreciate I'm in the minority.

Though I never watched when Potts won, he looks a little freaky to me

I suspect it's too samey hems. My instinct is that it was all rather flat, nothing new to see here.

They're singing The Impossible Dream, fits with the whole theme of the show IMO, then there's the nan and they're both likeable down-to-earth boys. I see them doing very well indeed.

That's my view Cider...seen it before,and done a bit better.

The Brothers couldn't make a living on the cruise ships and are near favs to win this...sums the show up.

A dancing dog won last year GB

Yeah Pudsey is a genuine super star though

Yeah a gran in the audience,zzzzzzz. It was more than enough tonight obv.

Ashley was the star. If Pudsey had been with some middle aged female loon, then he would have been beaten

Being brothers is their `angle`. Singing can be such an emotional thing for the audience that those emotions are heightened by it being brothers. Feel-good emotions equals votes.

It seems clear Cowell doesn't want Attraction to win so will find some reason for them not to do the original act again or anything that has a dead soldier in it.

tomorrows line-up on BGMT
A tough heat to call

FFS Jack and Jack & Cormac in the same heat

They're the only act Simon probably knows he can make money out of as well

Alice will be pimped I suspect with a speech from Cowell.

Running order all important again

Definitely.

I think Alice will be on early and miss out

Didn't help those twins 'singing' Olly Murs

Stand up Kym I want to see those boots

Will that be the RO ?

iirc it wasn't last year

plenty backed on it tho

Alice, nice looking girl with a suspicious story. Kneecapped.

Looks like I'll have to do an early shift,with both my bets running tomorrow

Cowell Likes Jack, if you missed another mention Hems
I might need to cover him

She's also hot with large pillows. And this isn't eurovision, fortunately

It's just one of those conundrums Fig,where he could be really good,or it cold be a real Tumbleweed 2 minutes......I'm happy with the odds I backed him at,but not sure I'd want to back him now tbh.

T&P best talent tonight!

*could

He made me laugh a few times and seems confident in his delivery.  He could certainly be a runner.
Well actually he couldn't.
He'd like that one

....evil bugger.

Jack would be laughing

Indeed....and in a nutshell,that's why I think he has a chance......no false sob story,in fact quite the opposite,a kid who isn't saying "woe is me"

T&P were screwed over in the final.
The only dangers to Spellbound so Cowell puts them on 1st and they still get 2nd

Yes, I like him Hems. He would be a refreshing winner

Turning in seeing as I'm going to have an early start tomorrow now .....nite guys

They must have polled a high actual number in their heat.

nite Hems

nite Hems.
Just 2nd in their heat to the Scottish old dear who couldn't sing. On 4th. Janey given pimp

Jason Mamford lookalike...not a good thing

R Nan

nan not sick just an old lush

she will be taken ill by the time of the final

Welshies should be an easy trade; 9/2 on the HS and they will go shorter as I think jack will struggle over 2 more shows. Aliki too pretty for the MEMs so that makes it a 2 horse race.

Must have been TV Poll man backing Attraction,Jack and The Brothers yesterday .

"Large soul singer"

Shouldn't Attraction be odds on?

Nope

I'm surprised they didn't poll over 50% in the initial TV polls.

Hem's guy doing very well.

And they don't even have the winners in their poll

Alice will clearly need the pimp to top the vote or even get top 3

She might have it if the order in the video is the running order
http://talent.itv.com/2013/videos/insider/watch_who-knew-its-our-second-semi-finalists-auditions-playlist_item_400078.htm

Scamps, Jack, Ballroom dancers & Alice, last 4 on the video list

Hope she gets pimp I'll lay her for the win

but I seriously doubt it will happen. Simon likes Jack lol and do they want more singers through?

I'll be laying too Bex.
Tempted to lay to qualify and hope she gets the BOV treatment. She isn't even getting top 3 without help

She's the type of simpering woman that other women dislike

attraction are on fridays show ! is the final on sunday ?

the final is June 8th

one week and one day after Attraction then if you are right...

and the simpering has been shown to be fake anyway

Fake simpering! No chance then

Aliki on the Saturday show? or has she already be named in another one?

She's far more voteable than Alice for me.

Would add a caveat to TV polls it does favour those shown later I'm the auditions process which makes Richard and Adams Jack Carrolls and Attractions figures slightly more impressive. Arisxsandra turned over a fair deficit on Philp Green without too much assistance. And there's every indication that both Jack and Alice will be assisted tonight

Is the last bit more than guesswork JOT?

Unfortunately not fig, will add that Jack Carroll is a regular on the news magazine programmes up here in Yorkshire so would expect a shout for him tonight, will update later he was on last Calendar (ITV) last week as well.

OK cheers.
I'm not sure the piece in the Sun is particularly helpful for her but like you I'd expect her to be assisted tonight.

Changed your mind then! Alice is being given a passport to the final imo. There's also a point to prove

I'm always changing my mind cider
I haven't changed my mind about her not being particularly voteable. Given the pimp slot and great comments I'm sure she'd be top 3 tho.
We shall see where they put her. If she's not in the last 3 to perform I will be trying to beat everyone to the lay button.
It was amazing last night how long BOV's price held up even after they were drawn 2

Jack looks very skinny to me. He will need pimp I suspect, and new jokes that come off. I suppose a bit of northern support might be there.

I do acknowledge the need to promote variety hence the assistance for Jack but do think they will be relatively relaxed about 5 or 6 singers in the final of 11 acts. If Alice or Jack dont make the top 3 Martin and Marielle do look the most likely. Fully expect Jack/Cormac and Gabz to be stopped.

The whole BOV thing was very odd, a bunch of misfits into 2nd fav for the OR. Probably shows just how vacuous this year is. They couldn't even get 1d into top 2 on xf so no idea how that lot were expected to poll well.

M & M fodder for me. What assistance are you alluding to JOT? RO, script?

I really don't see the point of singers like Alice in BGT. She should be on the XF.
I still have hopes for J&C

They are hardly subtle in their manipulations expect a bit of everything. The Band Of Voices was people loooking for something to oppose Attraction, but it falls into how the system works. I think Corals were 1st up at 3/1 so logistically none of the others were going to go in really big so 4/1-9/2 becomes the market price, it was only when the betfair market opened that the price drifted like a barge as people such as us were desperate to get them.

I guess 'jazz' doesn't fit with the xf so much. I suspect a guilt trip is the way to get her votes. Break it down it's an exceptionally weak heat.

The market isn't confident..and she's hardly a jazz singer

..and plenty who would beat her in this heat with very little help

Forgot about "Attraction". It's an act that gets old quickly imo.

Just rewatching the illusionists on ITV2. What a scream it is. The arrow goes flying towards the roof yet somehow we're meant to believe it went through the apple and hit the target. All the while he falls off his podium.

I thought her yt stuff was jazz. No, level fight she won't go through I don't think but it's never level oc. The problem from a betting perspective is that the heat is so weak in trying to take on Jack with.

Though in regards to Attraction, it is so nauseating an act, it may still manage to connect

Hilarious Alice (ie. now on BGT - a SCowell show) moaning that it was The Voice/BBC who treated her as a pawn to get headlines.

I hope SCowell does a Jess Hobson on her

She is a boring singer of boring songs for me.

Fairly close.
Jack has more 2nd choices tho and J&C doing very well in 2nd choices

TV polls caveat as previous does give hope for Jack/Cormac betters but I believe they would save Alice over them.

There was a shout out to vote for Jack at the end of the local news hes from Brighouse which is Bradford.

Value on Freds to buzz market going fast David and Amanda are a million to buzz and dont think Alesha will personally. MD productions and Meat Diva (simon a deffo) the only others with potential would beon under 2.5 I think.
