I agree whoever goes last will win. Last year - Paul Potts went last and he won. All the semi finalists who won the public vote this year and last went on last.

I'm predicting George Sampson will go last.

I really hope they do a random draw to see who gets last place.

But I think the producers will choose.

It's pretty obvious that Faryl will be on last

I'd love to see the cheeky monkeys on last just to throw the competition wide open

No random draw. It's being decided probably even now, either Escala or Faryl will be last on.

These sorts of theories suck

People in last place have prime position, but position doesn't guarantee them the most votes. Those people were put last in the semis because they were expected to be popular. It was bloody easy to pick out who was gonna win each before each was announced.

Last year, Paul Potts was always the favourite to win.

This year things are much, much closer. The talent is what really matters and how good someone is on the night.

I think the only semi final where you weren't sure who would win was the first one between kate and gin and signature

Its a very valid theory imo

Every last act this week has won the public vote. Surely that tells us something, does it not? It's about saving the best until last and for it be fresh is viewers minds.

Tomorrow there is some great talent and as it stands there is no clear winner. Earlier this week I thought Faryle but now I'm thinking it's going to be very close between Faryle, George, Kate/Gin and Escala. The competition will be feirce! However whoever goes last will have an advantage imo.

I do think the most fair way would be a random pick but I'm doubtful that would happen.

Simon Cowell will decide the order.

Pretty sure the running order for Saturday was decided before this Monday's show.

Not one surprise act went through.

I didn't know there was a question about kate and gin, I always thought signature were well in...

But yea, either way, they were at least mostly very predictable. And you save the best til last. It's not rocket science ... but this final, who knows?

Wasn't Connie Talbort the betting favourite?

I think it will depend on how the programme is aired.

Will there be a longer break (i.e. another programme) between the main show and the results?

If so, then order will be less relevant.

There is going to be over an hour for people to get their votes in. Maybe people will feel less rushed and more considered over the voting choice, not just who is freshest in their memory
Also a lot of voters have favourites(s) by now.

I looked, they were joint favourites according to wiki p at least (which is in itself).

Rhydian was the last to perform during the X Factor final and that didn't guarantee him the most votes. His supporters actually complained that he was at a disadvantage because of this coz they had less time to vote for him, even though the voting lines were opened after the three finalists had performed their first song. Rhydian also had more of the last performance slots than any other of the finalists.

I don't think that the act that performs last in the BGT final is necessarily going to win. Those who have watched each semi-final will probably already have a favourite and it won't matter in which order the artists perform.

performing last will def be an advantage and if you are on first you might as well not even hope because you have no chance

I reckon Cheeky Monkeys or Andrew Muir will be on first

It's down to the producers of the show.Usually they save the best till the last,and Faryl might get it.
