That gets 4 no's and then angrily questions Ayda's right to judge the Show because I just want to see how the others will defend her

Are they doing joke acts this year though? Cause they severely and deliberately cut back on them last series and the auditions were a ****ing chore as a result

This is why viewership is down

Many people I know watch auditions for the messy ones.

There were so many poor decisions last year

• No joke acts
• Six weeks of live shows
• A final SIXTEEN (which made no sense given the above)
• No judges vote

What were the only things they got right? One of the best groups of finalists in years and the panel...and yet they've changed the latter...AGAIN

I hated that panel. Simon has lost his touch, Nicole is full of herself and makes some poor decisions and Louis is just getting repetitive. Sharon is the only fun one but even she had a less entertaining year compared to 2016.

Nicole's narcissism is a scream and Louis' repetitive cliches is his appeal! I'll give you Sharon and Simon though, but overall it's the best panel they've ever assembled - the four best judges collectively in the show's history. The thing is, BGT found a panel that worked and stuck with it, whereas they've been messing around with the X Factor one for years - there's no consistency and it just annoys viewers. They finally found a panel that worked and should've kept them

The annoying thing is that in 2016 they reversed ALL of the poor decisions they made in 2015 (Dermot, the panel, 10 weeks of lives, room auditions, normal judges houses), and the ONE thing that ruined that series was the finalists they chose! They basically picked almost the entire wrong 12 from judges houses and the series never recovered from that point

But instead of realising that, they made all the dire changes last year - and are still continuing to! The irony is that last year's finalists were the best in years
