Semi finals? No. I reckon we have enough to promote 2 "favourites" for each Semi final though if that's what your asking?

Matrix Dancer, French Dancer, Highway Men, Ballet Boy, Nursery Rhyme man, Jai, Circus of Horrors, Two and a Half men, Metrosexual boy singer and "New Susan Boyle" guitar man are all nailed on to make the final as it stands.

Unfortunately I think this will be true. 2 "favourites" in each semi-final, with all of them going through.

Aye, 2 from each. That's why they put all the crap through, to guarantee the acts that they want to get through get through whilst still raking it in from televotes.

It's going to be very...entertaining.

Short answer - NO!

They may aswell just pick the 10 "best" acts at bootcamp and put them straight through to the final.

Obviously they wont and we'll just have ridiculously predictable semi-finals devoid of any tension. Unlike in previous years where there's always been 3 or 4 acts in each semi who I couldn't put a cigarette paper between.

Highwaymen won't be there as they couldn't make the second round auditions due to having to defend the country!!

Apparently they are all full time serving Royal Marine bandsmen.... and because one band is in Afghanistan, and one was required for the Royal Wedding, they couldn't be spared!

No - 2 & half men are the only act thats decent. The circus lot were alright but we've seen it now and frankly inviting established touring acts to go on blows the perception its supposed to be joe bloggs off the street.

And they have moved corries time slot to accomodate this crap. The show should have been cancelled last year its a total joke now.

Well if this is the case, they'll be replaced in the list with, say, "Out of the Blue" then. The rest of my list still stands as predictable finalists unless these last 2(?) auditions provide a good quantity of talent.

Yes and a mountain of rubbish to eliminate in the boot camp process to go with them.
I have seen at least eight acts who I have enjoyed and consider to be talented.
They will evenly dispersed in the semi's among the plain daft acts.
