...were a joke when...................? ....................their audition clearly wasn't a joke and he can't have thought that it was a joke. Is this guy just racist or is it a conspiracy? The dad was good and he got criticism when he shouldn't have (not just from Piers). CONSPIRACIES. I like BGT but the manipulation, game playing and conspiracies that go on in that show make me sick to my stomach. The guys behind it should grow up and become decent human beings.
