In just a few seconds you provided more entertainment than over two minutes of canine capers! BGT for you next year by any chance? |

I didn't like his act but he seems like a nice enough guy and it was clearly joke and a bit self-deprecating rather than arrogant in my opinion.
But, as much as i didnt like his magic or how he performed it, that line was certainly said as a joke. |

Jules was instantly more unlikeable in BGMT after the final. Much worse than anything Jamie did/said.

It is possible for it both to be a joke, and also a really unfortunate thing to say. Of course he meant it as a joke, but I cringed at the time watching, I'm sure he probably regrets it too.

She said she wouldn't choose between herself and Ashleigh & Pudsey. |

It was obviously meant to be a joke, and was actually quite a clever one. Unfortunately, 'clever' isn't the same as 'funny'.
Maybe if he'd put emphasis on the words "human being" it might have been more obvious. |

Erm...how?
She said she wouldn't choose between herself and Ashleigh & Pudsey. Ashleigh and Pudsey was what I would call, for the want of a better expression, a "gentle" act. One pleasant and unassuming young lady and one, just one, dog. She clearly did it for the love of her dog, not for the earning potential in the future. Jules and Matisse, however, was entirely different. The act was much more forced, more artificial and Jules came over as more arrogant in every way than Ashleigh. Older and more cynical perhaps, who knows. As a professional animal trainer, with many different animals, she was well aware of, (and motivated by), the earning potential of any similar act. As for the dogs, the fact that she was apparently such caring, thoughtful and sensitive trainer rather contrasted with the fact that she didn't think to make it clear that her act was actually "Jules and Matisse, er, and Chase, oh and Skippy". Better to have been billed as Jules and Dogs. More honest and a clue as to the likely content of the acts. I concede that I do not particularly like animal acts, but of the two, then Ashleigh was streets ahead, both in personality, content and entertainment value. |

Should the magicians act name include those of the stage hands that actually performed their tricks behind the curtain?
Everyone accepts that a magic act involves artifice and fakery. Otherwise it would be 'real' magic. In fact a magician's act is based on their skill in concealing artifice. Whereas when you have a performing dog act with one particular dog billed as the star, it's misleading to substitute another dog for the main stunt in the finale and not acknowledge it. The irony is, if the tightrope dog had come on at the end and taken a bow, I don't think it would have affected the voting. But Ant and Dec asked at the end about how long Matisse had trained for it and even then it was not acknowledged. |

Incredibly arrogant comment.
It's a incredibly modest comment. It would have only been arrogant if she said 'I'm better than them'. |

A well thought-out argument, backed with well-referenced evidence. Good work, champ.

Every argument on here is well-referenced of course. Good effort trying to dismiss my opinion though.

Well no, but you said "what she did on BGMT was way worse than what Jamie said" so I was expecting something a little more specific than "I just didn't like her".

Believe me, I would never say 'way worse.' Anyway, she is not likeable in my opinion and throughout the interview I didn't like her attitude.

Can you describe what you didn't like about her attitude? I didn't see BGMT (hence why I was interested what she did, as she seemed thoroughly pleasant to me) - was it sneering? Arrogant? Nasty? Conceited? Spiteful?

In fact a magician's act is based on their skill in concealing artifice.
