I was sure that the wildcard places, both judge and public, can only come from the acts that came 'third' as in the acts that came second or third and were not picked by the judges.

Last night David made some comment about his golden buzzer act still having a chance through the wild card, and then Simon said the same about the polar bears?
Also I have seen people on here allude to acts that came 4-9 of a given night, being a possible wild card?

what am I missing?

No, I'm pretty sure it's just the third placed act on each night that's eligible. People just getting confused (or wishful thinking )

Stephen mentioned the possibility of the dinosaur act winning the wildcard?

Two wildcards?

Probably a joke. Maybe he was going to trample the judges

That still seems to be from the third-placed acts, though.

the public wildcard is from third place acts, the judges one,well they didn't say anything so could be anyone

Thet defeats the voting it shold be all public votes from acts that lost out from judges votes when they choose whom to go through to final and the otherone from voters

I guessif they put through abad act more chance for one they wish to win

There are 2 wild cards, one is the public wildcard which is done after tonight's last semi final and is basically the public get to vote from the 5 3rd place acts, and the other wildcard is the judges which I guess is they get to pick any act that did not get through the semi final stage

To be honest, i think that's pretty pointless. If the viewers don't vote you for the wildcard, what chance do you have of winning if you are relying on the judges to put you through ?

At last the message is getting through.

There have to be two wildcards otherwise you would only have 11 acts in the final

So the five third placed acts battle it out for one wildcard place and then the judges choose another wildcard from all the remaining acts who were placed 4-9 in the semi finals.

That's how it reads to me.

If they placed 4-9 in semi-finals, what's the point?

You'll have to ask the producers that. That is what's on the show's website.

Oh, I wasn't trying to shoot the messenger. Just perplexed by that.

That's ok, perhaps it's a bit of a safety net for the show. By that I mean there can some times be some odd results when the public vote and it gives the show(judges) an opportunity to pick back up an act who they feel was deserving of a finals place.

Just guessing really

If the judges are choosing after the show tonight (I'm sure that's what Ant and Dec said at the start of tonight's show) then surely they can only choose from the 4th-9th placed acts since they don't know the result of the public wildcard vote yet.

how many wildcard acts are they having this year?
