As I'm sure you are well aware I hate most of these reality shows, but I've been catching some of this show the last couple of days and have been amazed at some of the talent. I think the reason I like this but not things like X-Factor etc is that these people aren't going to become massive stars simply because they've been on this show they actually have to come up with their acts themselves (plus the fact that it is only 9 days rather than 6 months

).
This one was great

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IZpjYd0sTT0This one was also really really good
http://youtube.com/watch?v=En0A8KGMgq8 The group of cross dressers was funny (

I get the impression that Simon has been told to softer on this show, I mean
http://youtube.com/watch?v=IromCVJUsKY isn't all that great and if he hasn't heard anything like it before as he claims I'd be very surprised since he is suppose to be in the music business

ITVs editing have been terrible though, why they insist on keep cutting away from the acts and showing Ant and Dec talking is beyond me.
Some of them have been terrible though, the 49 year old accountant who can't dance, the ventriloquist who wasn't even attempting to talk without opening his mouth and the woman who just came on an played the demo on the keyboard (although I felt a tad sorry for her with the entire crowd chanting for her to get off the stage)
On another note, I've never really read comments on Youtube before and I don't think I will again, they are absolutely disgusting in places
