so simon could be the hero and put him through.

i mean it was so ridiculous that they rejected him in the first place, it made no sense. must have all been a stunt.

I think so yes, but everyone with an ounce of sense can see right through it.
I really think BGT has had its day now. Perhaps the best thing to do, is to do it every two years.

Publicity stunt to get people talking about the show + make Simon look good.

Definitely. As was that farce of an act - and by 'act' I mean a bloke walking around - getting to the final.

He's on a roll tonight Cowell - double publicity.

Of course it was. Unfortunately I think that the majority of the public won't see through it & will still think the sun shines out of Simon's arse.

A good decision I think. I suspect SC had a wild card option planned from the start as he wasnt or wasnt seen to be involved in the initial judging, but either way I do think it was a good choice

Cowell is just doing himself an awful amount of damage. I think he is on the top of the downward spiral.
Whilst I have watched and kind of enjoyed BGT and XFactor, I also think I have watched the last of it now. Not beacause of any one bad decision the judges and/or producers have made, but it is just too much and there are far more important things going on in the world to see and do. Time I got a life !

I think it's terribly unfair that Michael only has 24 hours to come up with a new routine for the semis.

I highly doubt it was a "set up". You can see the decision making and it's very obvious Amanda made the final decision giving Moral the boot as she got far too emotional about Razy and completely disregarded Moral as in her head Razy was the greatest ever (she even said so).......again, she got too emotionally involved and was blinded. Amanda was the lead judge and made a lot of bad decisions.

I completely believe the Hoff when he said he fought to bring Moral back; and i definitely don't believe any of them when they tried to blame Fake-Britney's comeback on the Hoff, but he took the fall on the producers behalf.

The reason they're bringing him back is because people have been hounding BGT and the judges via Twitter (including me ) and messageboards as well as complaining about some of the bad acts that have been put through.

I'm really glad they made this decision; so excited for tomorrows show now

He has been rehearsing for days - so he must have been told to keep quiet, he has been in the country - not a dash back on eurostar.

He was probably told right after he was rejected by them, they probably said "Okay, we know that the public won't like this decision, so we are going to make the public outraged and then we will bring you in the last semi final.... so you can start rehearsing now.. we just need to get people talking".

I'm indifferent at the moment. It definitely could be a setup, but on the other hand, it was the right decision.

As for the Hoff, I think he's the best judge. Made sense, was all round positive, got some good comments in, took the blame for Lorna Bliss when it wasn't his decision and made the least mistakes.

Amanda always goes for the sympathy vote. She's done it every year.

But he's been in the adverts for the live show tickets all along. All the others on there are semifinalists aren't they? And they couldn't just tell him today when he he has to travel over from France, rehearse 2 routines (semi & final). What if he couldn't get the day off work?!

Although I do think he's great. Its bollocks him & Razy are in the same show though. The day before the final too so they have the least amount of time possible to come up with another routine if they get through.

A girl on Twitter met Michael at Heathrow a few days ago. Here's a picture.

No idea how long Michael's had to rehearse or how long hes known though.

I swear on sunday after he was sent home i said they would bring him back i even said the words he would say "let the public decide" my family are looking at me strangely now as they could not believe i predicted it, the truth is us who follow Simon Cowell's shows know exactly the type of manipulation he does

You have to remember the shows were filmed long before they aired; so the producers wouldn't have known what kind of reaction there was going to be, they probably assumed everyone would forget about Moral because Razy was there; of course, that wasn't the case, a lot of people were pissed that Moral got the boot and some horrible acts got put through.

They probably decided to bring back Moral after the show aired where he gets kicked off, immediately realising Amanda screwed things up and Moral was way more popular than Amanda & co realised he's going to be, plus, i imagine Amanda was getting a lot of grief on Twitter, i know that was the first time i tweeted Amanda (albeit i was nice )

I agree on the lack of time, which isn't really fair, but hopefully that doesn't affect him too much. I'm very excited for tomorrows show, ready with my vote

I'm sorry but I think they should have stuck to their guns. I felt both should go through on Sunday but putting Michael through now with all the hoopla gives him an underdog story that I think gives him an advantage over the other contestants. I just think the British public are more likely to vote for an underdog.

Don't get me wrong I think both should have gone through in the first place but now the waters have been muddied by the silly decision in the first place.
