The audience in general are complete cretins. However the judges, especially Louis, are always encouraging them. He's constantly saying "Forget what Simon says, the audience loved you and I'm sure the people at home loved you" - which results in the audience behaving like monkeys in a zoo, screaming and going nuts. Also their booing and hissing has become so bad, even at the slightest criticism, it's difficult to hear what the judges are saying. I think they should have "crowd tamers" armed with cattle prods.
