His biggest talent is the way he has managed to shrink his face into the middle of his head.

The juggling element is variety, and he does have skill. The only issue he had was, it was the same thing over and over again, bouncing the balls on the floor - no wonder people found it a bit boring. He should have really changed it around a bit.
But his act appears to be more of a 'bouncing' than juggling, so when he came back and did what he does why were they surprised? What were they expecting him to do - defy gravity?

Actually he could have improved it by aiming a couple at the judges.

The problem was that the act was crap. It was incredibly dull and tedious, no wonder Simon and Alesha buzzed.

I thought he was treated honestly, their job is to judge fairly and honestly and at the end of the day, the act was quite dull and limited.

It could have been a bit better if he'd interspersed it with some up in the air juggling. The coming down the stairs thing was clever but it didn't look that good. maybe he should have had some flourescent ultra violet balls and done the whole thing in the dark. That would have looked better than him having all those girls dancing around him.

I'm kinda torn on this issue tbh. Yes, it was a bit rude.....but at the same time, if you enter a competition like BGT then being judged is a major part of the process. If you can't handle criticism then you really shouldn't put yourself up there.

...I stress again though, it was a tad rude of Alesha.
It's a bit different though - they put him through to the final making him feel like he was good, they then shot him down in a totally unacceptable way.

It was a boring act, but I don't see the point in buzzing him.judges get to say what they thought anyway, the buzzing adds nothing but unpleasantness.
