Hi, Rusty!
None of those names for tonight's BGT show is familiar to me, as far as I can recall.
I think I saw/ heard a contestant singing Bohemian Rhapsody?
I cannot remember whether you sent me a clip or told me to look it up on YouTube?
All that sticks in my mind is the title of the song...not the name of the singer....so it could well be someone other than Cristina Ramos.
I wish we could get to the bottom of these "Super Fans ".....
I should like to know from where they come......and how they are chosen.
Each week, we are finding some of their choices "unusual", to say the least......and I have heard criticism elsewhere of their selection.
I am just popping out with the dog!

Hello, Elle!
I think I may have posted a clip of a young choir singing Bohemian Rhapsody in Georgia's Got Talent.
They were very good, as was one of the lady judges!
I think Cristina Ramos has only appeared in Spain's GT, and America's GT.
Richard Jones is on, too.
Not sure if he won BGT, or not.
He was a serving soldier then, and he's a magician.
Very windy at Gleneagles!

Hi, Rusty!
Back home again!
It was fairly warm out, but pleasantly so, not the overwhelming oppressive heat that we have had over a lot of the summer.
No coats or jumpers needed.
Yes, I remember Richard Jones... a very pleasant, quiet young man.
Yes, he won BGT, a few years ago, and was going to perform at the Royal Variety Show.......although I did not watch it.
I shall watch BGT tonight, I think, although I have set the recorder just in case of interruptions.
I can do that this week, as there is no episode of "Casualty" to record, because of The Proms.
Now, what to have for dinner?

Good evening, Elle!
The golf has just finished.
Europe and USA are level going into the last day tomorrow.
Twelve singles matches tomorrow.
I wonder if Julie Inkster, the USA captain, is setting a new fashion.
She had three hats on!
The usual peaked baseball cap, a woolly hat on top of that, and a rain hat on top of that!
It looked cold at Gleneagles!
I am not sure shall I watch BGT or simply record it.
Watched a lot of TV today, as it is!

Good evening, Rusty!
So, with the golf competition, all will depend on tomorrow...........it will be an exciting third day.
Three hats?
Mmm..... well, the peak to keep out the sun, the woolly hat to keep her head warm. and the rain hat to keep dry....
There you are, quite logical!
"Actually , there is a saying about wearing many hats....
"If you wear different hats, it means you have several different jobs or roles"!
Yes, you have watched a lot of television today.....
The big advantage of waiting to watch the recording of BGT is being able to fast forward through the ads!
The downside is getting around to watch what has been recorded!
I may multi -task....read my book...and keep a weather eye on the programme to see if anything grabs my attention.
Coffee first though.....

Hello, Elle!
The USA are favourites to win, but we'll see.
It should be a great final day.
Wonder how many hats Julie will wear tomorrow!
I have watched BGT but I am not keen on the format.
One of my chosen acts made the final.
I thought the golden buzzer act was not up to much, but David seemed to like them!

Hi, Rusty!
Ah, it's good that you have already watched BGT, as now I can comment without spoiling it for you!
I certainly did not enjoy tonight's show as much as I did last week's performances.
For me , the best acts were Richard Jones (by far), and Mayyas, the synchronised dancers from Lebanon.
I thought the escapologist , Darcy Oake was good, but not a winner.
And I thought Cristina Ramos was awful!
She shouted, screeched and shrieked!
I had heard her earlier singing, and was impressed, but tonight's performance was definitely not for me!
And all the other acts were relatively mediocre.
The young child was cute, but he really didn't do anything!
And the 85 year old was spunky...but I did not think the act warranted David's Golden Buzzer.
All in all a disappointment.......
What are your views?

Hello, Elle!
It was an awful song Cristina sang.
She started out fine, but the screeching was awful.
She can do much better than that.
The audience loved it, though.
An awful Golden Buzzer act.
I liked Mayyas best, and Darcy Oakes and Richard Jones next.
Not a great show tonight.
Julie Inkster has her big guns out first tomorrow.
Danielle Kang, Nelly Korda, and Lexi.
Should be a great contest.
Lexi plays Georgia Hall, who I like a lot.
I am looking forward to the contest!

Hi, Rusty!
Well, we were agreed on our top three acts.
Richard Jones was skilled as always... I am riveted each time, and watch and listen very carefully!
I thought it disgraceful that Mayyas did not come in the top three.
They were incredible!
Yes, your golf should be good tomorrow......but won't you will miss some of it when you go out to the Pine Cone?
We are going out for an early walk.
I am not sure whether the family are coming over later.... I have a feeling, though, that one of the children has something on, tomorrow.

Good morning, Elle!
Seems a fine day outside!
There are a lot of "odd" choices for the BGT final.
Paddy and Nico were chosen and yet there was a brilliant dance act a couple of weeks ago (from Japan or China?) that did not get a mention.
Mayyas were excellent, but it looks like the audience were not impressed.
Last night's show was unsatisfactory.
It appears, nowadays, that Simon is the only judge to offer critical comment.
The other judges are more like cheerleaders.
I'll miss a bit of the golf, but it is on all day.
(Granddaughters come first!)
