I'd guess by the fact that they're all standing there with lyric/lines sheets that they're probably just filming some sad losers song for BOTS which they're all contractually obliged to take part in.
I can't see them giving them any real power and if it is it'll be nothing more than voting for their chosen loser (or maybe their chosen losing finalist) to get the grand or something.
It might just be them voting for the awards thing they usually do after the last meal thing they do on the pre-finals night.
