The scummy, slimeball producers along with Simon bring back fake Britney obviously trying to boost ratings hoping she'd show tits and ass and then try and blame it all on David Hasslehoff when it was so blatantly not his decision and he just took the fall for that whole ridiculousness.

If they were to bring someone back, it should have been Michael Moral, someone the Hoff actually wanted to put through and someone who was actually really talented.

What a joke

It depresses me

It was uncomfortable to watch because she clearly looked hurt at the end, but was professional about it. As if she wasn't told exactly what to wear and what to perform by the stage directors! If you're going to bring somebody back like that there's no need to be hypocritical about it, just let her quietly make up the numbers if it doesn't work out. I don't think she need be too put out because the appearance will give her act the boost she wanted and wasn't at all as embarrassing as the oddness of the remarks at the end. She had a fair amount of stage craft and looked the part, when you consider a lot of these pop stars are models/dancers who basically mime, and they have experience of TV studios. It wasn't particularly great, but it's pretty shoddy and dishonest the way the judges triangulate what they reckon makes them look populist, instead of just being fair and frank about the whole business. There's clearly a disconnect between what these TV people will say when the cameras are running and when they aren't. You can bet everything they said as criticism, she was told the opposite in rehearsals. She looks like she takes the act seriously, and so it's a bit mean messing somebody around, given what a joke the majority of participants are. If they wanted what they say they do, why not sort that out in the first place. Of course then, they'd have criticised her for not learning from the audition, and insisted she ought to have worked on a big stage show Given the tabloid stories and the extent to which contestants have no control over how they'll be presented on the show editorially, I wonder why anybody with a semi-professional act would take the risk of going on this show.

The act was dire and it was clear the producers didn't have a clue when bringing her back. They could've brought back far far better acts, like that French dancer, instead of this and the stupid dog acts.

Wasnt there the star wars piano dude that year who flew down in a spaceship or something daft...or did imagin that lol.Either way he was set up as well really

I agree and said before that the producers obviously made her tone down the performance, family show and all that, then at the end the judges slam her for being too tame. I bet she has plenty to tell the tabloids over the coming days.

It was something Channel 4 would have done and be proud of doing.

Agreed

Not her fault though and I thought they were unnecessarily harsh with her afterwards. They were basically saying the only talent she had was for her showing off her tits and without that she needn't bother - at least that's the way I picked up their comments.

That was in Series 2. He looked very upset by it in the semi-finals and with the horrible way the audience reacted to him.

Agree a zillion percent. When they said someone unexpected was coming back they got my hopes up that it would be Michael Moral... and then my heart sank when saw who they were actually bringing into the semis.

Agree. The show's producers obviously wouldn't let her show off on live TV so the judges criticism was unjust.

Agree they let the French dancer go and put a load of shite through, the show has hit rock bottom i think, also the cyclist (Joe)and the two girls bruce sistaz?? both out so we can all sit on saturday and watch children compete for Britains got talent, what is Simon thinking? is it who makes him the most money at the end not who entertains the public?? i think i know the answer what the greedy narcissist wants oh and before someone say's the public votes yeah sure and manipulation from the producers.

Aww, Michael Machell, I'll never forget him. The poor guy was put through as cannon fodder and didn't have a clue.
