Like there is with boys and girls, should there be a a second overs category?

You could have five judges therefore getting rid of the awful deadlock.

I'd be happy for this because there is loads of over 28 year old that could have gone through in one yea or another.

What do you all think?

Thats too many acts...??.and not a lot of time for the judges to talk..

Possibly - making 5 judges x 3 contestants each

We started with 16 acts this year, so 15 is no problem.

They could still have double eliminations for the first couple or three weeks.

Doesn't no deadlock make it easier for the judges to manipulate the results...

It wouldn't be too many contestants if they made it 5 categories of three, that would be 15 contestants which is 1 less than what we had this year.

As for it not giving the judges enough time to talk they could just gag Louis he says nothing useful anyway

They can manipulate it with deadlock or without.

Five judges: 'Unwanted act' is voted off 3-2 or 4-1.

If a judge abstains, leaving four:

'Unwanted act' voted off 3-1, or if bottom of vote they can go to deadlock (as last week).

Whoever sings the best is irrelevant - they vote off whoever they don't want anyway

I understand that...but does make it easier...

I don't think we need to hear from the chosen acts mentor anyway so that could save around 30 to 50 seconds each act

No don't need 2 overs categories. this is one of the rare years its the strongest category

Imagine a year if we had both Wagner and Goldie in the live shows
