Hi, Rusty!
Yes ,I'd thought that Sloane and Madison were best friends!
I do remember back, now.....
Well ,Rusty, that video about "The Sacred Riana" was not only "scary"........ but terrifying!!!!
No wonder Mel B had to leave for the dressing room in the earller part.......
And then what followed was horrendous!
I'm glad I was only watching it on video.....
I certainly wouldn't have liked to be sitting at the judges' table..........
So what was the outcome?
How did the Scared Riana do overall in the competition?
Did she prove to be popular with the audience and the viewers?
I found her very frightening!




Hello, Chris!
I will admit to cheating here, and looking it up on Google!
The answer appears to be that "boa constrictor" is not only its common name but also its scientific name?

Well done, elle!

Hello, Elle!
Yes, Madison and Sloane are great friends!
I like Madison, too, and hope she goes far into the competition.
The Sacred Riana is quite new to me and I will find out more about her.
I don't know how she got on, on the shows.
But, no act, ever, has held my attention, on the "Talent" shows, the way she does.
Scary!
The "live" audience liked her act (is it an act?!).
She is superb at what she does.
I meant to say to you, "do not watch alone!"
Ant is back with Dec on BGT now.
Think the auditions are on now.

Hi, Rusty!
Well, Riana is certainly frightening!
She gave me the shivers!
The sceptical part of me wonders, though, could her act be a 'set up'?
We have , on occasions , thought that the Britain's GT panel have maybe been in cohoots with the contestant ........
Could this be happening here?
Are the panel acting as "stooges ", do you think?
Would that be possible?

Hello, Elle!
I wondered if any of The Sacred Riana's act was a set up, but I think not.
Too many judges looking scared of her!
I discovered she won Asia's Got Talent.
But, in America's Got Talent she was eliminated in the quarter-finals.
There was a bit of an outcry by the viewers who felt she had been cheated, because her act appeared to be cut short, but AGT said it had not been.
So, a bit of controversy there.

Hi, Rusty!
I suppose we cannot help but wonder about a bit of jiggery-pokery - isn't that a lovely word? - when there have been examples of it in the past.....?
These Talent Shows do throw up some interesting acts!
I just wish that the "bad/ inept" acts were weeded out in auditions before the start of the show..... and only the reasonably talented acts were then aired.
I should enjoy BGT far more if that were the case.
Ah well, I have "The Voice" and "Casualty" tomorrow!
You are going out for breakfast tomorrow , aren't you, with your grandson and his girlfriend?

Hello, Elle!
Yes, quite, there has been jiggery-pokery on the talent shows.
I remember wonderful Chinese acrobats getting eliminated when they were streets ahead of anything else on BGT.
I like not knowing what kind of act will walk on the stage.
That's the attraction for me!
Yes, out for breakfast tomorrow with the young ones!
Now, to make up for the very scary act I inflicted upon you, here is a delightful little Belgian girl called Marjolein!

Hi, Rusty!
Marjolein is quite delightful, Rusty!
What a wonderful voice she has.
I love watching these video gems that you find!
Thank you!
Yes, Marjolein more than made up for the "scary" illusionist!
We are out early in the morning with the dog, and then later are going out for lunch with our daughter and family for BB's (seventh) birthday!
We are looking forward to it.
I'll say now to have a good time with your grandson, in case I do not get to speak to you in the morning before you go!

Good afternoon, Elle!
Bit cold here, and slippy roads.
Fine day now the sun has broken through.
Been for breakfast.
Had a nice time!
The restaurant is undergoing extensions so must be doing well.
I am home for the day now, granddaughters permitting!
Excellent staff, think they are students.
Marjolein is a lovely wee girl with a very melodic voice.
I think the audience loved her!
