Both performances were rubbish, but the live show one was the worst.
The impressionist tonight was awful

I recognised Ant and Dec, mainly because he looked at them and the camera went to them.
His Gordon Ramsey is good.
When he did Alan Sugar, I thought he was doing Danny Dyer until he said 'you're fired'. It was basically just a Londoner.
And when he did Bear Gryls I thought it was Jeremy Clarkson. It was only the mention of drinking his pee that made me realise that he was doing one of the survival type people.

To be fair, he was saying fairly Lord Sugary things before he said the "You're fired" (or "fried") punchline... I don't know where people are getting Danny Dyer from.

I thought most of his impressions were fairly good however when someone thought his Alan Sugar was Danny Dyer that did make me smile.”

Unfortunately none of what we saw would have been his decision. He has to do what the producers and directors tell him. They would have said you can't just stand there on your own with no set and no big idea. It's not an audition, it's the big time now. This is BGT and you have to fill the stage and have action. They would have given him tons of 'advice' as to who to do and in what setting, they may even have given him help with his script and suggested the restaurant idea. Where I would criticise him is in doing any of it but he's probably a nice guy and not a diva and was keen to take advice and do what they wanted.
Cowell is disingenuous when he criticises acts on BGT or XF for things we know are not their own idea. Producers and directors tell them what to wear, where to stand and suggest ideas for sets etc. You don't think singers get control of e budget and bring along a backing choir or 12 young female 'violinists' or 24 crazy dancers - that is all added in by the producers to make a big TV show. They frequently swamp the acts or ruin what they were good at. Very few amateurs have the authority to say 'no' or to know what works or doesn't.
I thought the impressions were good, I got them all. But the setup wasn't great. However, had he just stood still and done them he would have been criticised for being 'boring' and doing the same old thing. He couldn't win, figuratively and literally, because Cowell/the producers didn't want him to.
