What annoys me is that Susan wasn't let out of the funny farm to go on BGT. She keeps her own home, looks after herself and a pet. She doesn't have or need a carer. So whatever difficulties she has in life she copes with very well. So yes, she took part in a program, but her expectation was the same as everyone elses, and I'm sure Susan felt she could deal with it. The media frenzy and interest in Susan is unprecedented. Simon Cowell didn't expect it so why should Susan have done? Her not being able to cope with it, (that's if it is true), could have happened to any of the other contestants if they had been treated like she had. The amount of interest they got is what she expected. Yes Cowell should have given her more protection, but that would apply to any contestant having to go through what she did. There are ways of being on someone's side and sticking up for them, without making it seem like no one else can kick the idiot except me, (carole malone).
