Saturday night’s episode of Britain’s Got Talent has sparked outrage among viewers 

who took to social media to express their frustration with what they deemed bizarre and lackluster performances. 

Despite some standout acts, including dance illusion group The Blackouts and 11-year-old guitarist Olly Pearson, 

who both secured the prestigious Golden Buzzer, many other performances left audiences scratching their heads in disbelief.

The episode began with high expectations, but quickly took a turn as viewers witnessed an array of strange and unconventional acts that didn’t sit well with fans. 

One of the first to catch attention was Troupe Abyssinia, a group that attempted a hoop diving routine that ended in disaster. 

Their performance failed to impress the judges, and viewers were left cringing at the lack of precision and execution.

Next, a plate spinning act nearly turned dangerous when a plate flew off the performer’s hands and into the crowd, narrowly missing Amanda Holden. While no one was injured, it was a moment that had fans questioning the safety and relevance of such performances on a show that prides itself on discovering new talent.

Following that, Lan Guangping took to the stage with a unique act—walking on eggs. Though he eventually managed to impress the judges and the audience, the act was anything but smooth. Broken eggs and yolk stains were a regular occurrence, leading some to wonder whether this kind of act really deserved a place on such a widely-watched stage.

The oddity continued with Peter and Eagle, who claimed to perform falconry, only for the audience to witness a man dressed in an eagle costume descending from the ceiling, cracking bird-related jokes. The performance left many disappointed, as it didn’t showcase any real skill or talent beyond the bizarre costume and poor humor.

If the audience thought it couldn’t get any stranger, they were wrong. Enter Kranthi, an entertainer who brought a sledgehammer to the stage. In an attempt to dazzle the judges, he crushed coconuts with his bare hands and beer cans with his teeth. However, it was his next stunt that had fans on edge. Kranthi invited Simon Cowell to lie down on stage, warning him not to move as he blindfolded himself and began smashing watermelons just inches from Simon’s head with a giant sledgehammer. The tense moment left the judge visibly nervous, and viewers were left questioning the safety of such a stunt.

As the show unfolded, the bizarre performances and questionable stunts continued to pile up, leaving viewers unimpressed and frustrated. Fans took to social media, particularly X (formerly known as Twitter), to express their displeasure. Many called out the producers for prioritizing shock value over genuine talent, with some viewers feeling that the show was more about absurd antics than discovering skilled performers.

One viewer tweeted, “There’s a fine line between what’s entertaining, and what’s just stupid and dangerous. Unfortunately, #BGT doesn’t know where to draw this line.” Others were equally critical, commenting that the show seemed overly produced, with exaggerated soundtracks and fake audience reactions. “This ‘talent’ show is so over-produced with its over-the-top soundtrack, fake audience cheering, and overhearing what the judges are saying,” wrote one disgruntled fan.

The criticism didn’t stop there. Many fans voiced their frustrations over the Golden Buzzer being handed out too liberally. “Why have a Golden Buzzer if everyone can get one?” one viewer asked. Others lamented that the show seemed more focused on ridiculous acts than actual talent, with one person remarking, “I honestly think the producers just look for funny or stupid acts rather than talent—it’s ridiculous. People with real talent can’t even get on the show.”

Despite the bizarre performances, some moments stood out. The Blackouts, a dance illusion group, managed to win over the judges and secure a Golden Buzzer, while young guitarist Olly Pearson’s musical prowess was also enough to impress. Yet, these highlights were overshadowed by the overwhelming number of outlandish acts that seemed to stray further from the show’s intended purpose.

Some fans are beginning to feel that Britain’s Got Talent has run its course. “Beginning to think Britain has got no talent left. Acts from Switzerland, France, China, India… Might as well call it ‘World’s Got Talent’ at this rate,” one viewer quipped. Others have speculated that this may be the final season for the show, with one person stating, “This has to be the last series, surely?”

As the season progresses, Britain’s Got Talent is clearly at a crossroads. While some acts continue to impress, many viewers are questioning the direction of the show and whether it is still living up to its original concept of showcasing true talent. With increasingly bizarre and dangerous stunts taking center stage, fans are left wondering if the show can return to its roots—or if it’s time to put it out to pasture.
