Simon had a face like thunder when David did that. Could've be staged but he didn't look best pleased.

What even was that act, it was a waste of someone else's place

of course it is all staged, but I did say too the wife last night I will be surprised if David is still a judge next year, I get the distinct impression Simon s getting mighty pissed off with him mocking him all the time

Why did they put this act through in the first place?

I can accept the odd joke act if they're funny but this was just weird

Is there a link to this..? thanks.

There's all the whispers online of them not getting on. And, to be fair, I think from David's end it's all fun and games, but Simon seems mighty fed up.

But then, Cowell seems the sort not to get a joke, ever!

Simon seems to be in a permenantly bad mood at the moment.

Agreed. Trouble is, his style of juvenile 'humour' has long been out of fashion.

Simon needs to lighten up.
He's a figure of fun anyway , the grumpy old get.

I admire his patience. The whole show seems to about annoying Simon. Its beyond silly now and boring.

I'm sure we get these comments every year on BGT and even X factor, when Simon was on it. Simon does sulk on a regular basis, but once the show is over he forgets about it, and knows the whole thing is a pantomime which viewers enjoy. He's a good sport really and knows that taking the mick out of him entertains people.

David is popular with viewers, therefore I think David would choose when to leave.

I think it is ''all staged'' because other wise show will overrun/be cut off
I wish that there be less of the looking at judges when acts are on,less of the audiance less of the judges doing their script
I wish it was more of the acts,judges just commented on the act and not 'reacting'' to what others have said

I do think he had some idea of what David was going to do.

You can spot some moments where he has no idea, like when the Irish dancers made it through, it went to a wide shot and you could see Simon looking shocked, and then looking to where he usually looks, i'm guessing his team?
