but now we have moved on to even getting the NAME of one of the scriptwriters for all the little quips made at the judges tables.

I wonder do they have one each ! I can see it now - four scriptwriters sit in on dress rehearsals.... fill a page full of appropriate funny lines and put downs........ by the time the live shows start... the judges are all set. !!

Pity Kelly's wrote G-father that day !! Bit of a blooper that Kelly !

In fairness, I think this is more down to Gary's stupidity and incompetancy than corruption.

No the show isn't scripted. Scripted is an exaggerated word used for effect. Why use a word you know is inaccurate? Try "contrived" or "hystrionical", something like that.
