I wonder why..........Shame, as it would have made good viewing and lots of revenue for the show.if it had been put to public vote..................lost opportunity IMO

yep. and would have brought it up to the 'usual' ten contestants

nine is such a weird figure to be starting with.

its gotta be a multiple of three though...

you can't have one judge with more contestants because then their liklihood of winning would be greater...

That is a goo point !

well maybe a dozen then

i see your point about one of the judges having an unfair advantage

I would have loved a way to get Lloyd back in...I'm sure lots of people feel the same about Andy.

It would be rather a nice touch to put it to vote and allow a 10th contestant but as the public choice not tied to any judge. I quite like the idea of no judge winning

oh i like your thinking

the public say 'no simon/sharon/louis you were wrong about this act'

then because they were wrong, they get no affiliation

then they win because the public think of them as their act

pure mischief

but the act would have no 'mentor' (should that be tormentor?)

Clever thing!

I totally agree. Put a few novelty acts back in like the Chicken factory worker and Gemini. Followed by Lloyd, Odis and Andy and you have a quality show where entertainment is rife.

Sounds great. Can we have clowns too or do we have to just settle on Louis, Simon and Tabby?

Excellent idea.

A gold star for you.
