Britain’s Got Talent Semi-Final Sparks Mixed Reactions

Ant and Dec, in their usual fashion, opened the live semi-finals of Britain’s Got Talent with charm, but with utterly unpredictable viewer reactions! The two had posted a hype tweet for the show, but then the replies came flooding in?! Wow, what mixed reactions. Some loved it; some hated it; some had questions. So many questions.

On the bright side, Pat Earl gave a shout-out to Amanda Holden for using her golden buzzer wisely, while Joanne Burton applauded Ant and Dec for their handling of the ‘slight hiccup’ they experienced during the night, up close with Akira. Colin agreed with Joanna and shared how much fun it was watching Dec do his dad-dancing from the side of the stage. Ritchie Terry-Jones just had to let the world know that Ant looked ‘🔥.’

Now, there begins the exact opposite: chaos. Karen Jock detested the new-style and declared the audience ‘too noisy’ regarding the golden buzzer. Crazy Cat Lady (yes, that’s her display name) unleashed a fury of comments calling it an ‘absolute shit show’ with delays, no-shows, and way-too-early golden buzzers. Adam Hall seemed to agree, ‘BGT getting worse not better.’ Ouch. Nick McBeath did not follow again: ‘Let’s be honest, it’s pretty shite these days.’ No holds barred.

And, of course, there were those confused. Kelli Mu wondered: ‘What happened to the little boy? Why didn’t he come on?’- directed toward a semi-finalist from last week’s show. Amanda Gunson was dying to ask why the acts that got the good buzzer were even in the semi-finals. Katy Gray tried to explain, but Peter James Carr wanted none of it, saying that the good buzzer should wait until all acts have performed. Fair point, really.

Then there were the random opinions. Julie Kirkwood seized the opportunity to alert like, ten people about her nephew’s football team (talk about priorities…) Matthew Zee-Miller proposed a total overhaul of BGT by 2026, with spin-offs. And JayDeeArt? Could not resist cracking a cheeky joke on ‘semi-final.’ Classic.

So then there were the semi-finals for BGT, and there were thoughts, a lot of them, on the internet. Some loved the chaos; some wanted to watch it burn; others wanted answers. Will the next one run smooth? Who knows. But one thing we can say is Ant and Dec will still be hosting, golden buzzers will still confuse people, and Twitter will still be a dumpster fire, and that’s perfect.
