Sadly, Seven are known to do things on the cheap (and lazy way) of late. At least Nine knew how to do things with international guest (like The Voice).
Having the whole show on tape, including the final by the looks of it, is annoying.

It could be argued it didn’t for one season though. The season where they were forced to zoom in on live shows.

Exactly. We live in uncertain times. They probably don’t want to be caught out again.

Exactly. If they structured it in two blocks (auditions and live shows) and did the live shows over a week or two like in the UK, or even just the finale live, for the salaries these people are being paid expecting them to return for a second window of filming isn’t exactly unreasonable.
Indeed how close were the “auditions” and “studio shows” filmed together anyway. It seems unlikely they’d have been back to back so the international judges would either have had to hang around a few weeks between filming or fly back anyway.
First promo of the new season aired this evening, in between Seven News and Commonwealth Games telecast. All four judges feature in the clip.

This promo is far better than their lacklustre 2019 one. Hopefully the season will be better too, especially with David, Alesha and Kate onboard.

Hope it really takes off and you adopt David Walliams as one of your own.
No, seriously - you’re welcome to him. He was a breath of fresh air when he joined but he has become rather tiresome in recent years.
Hands off Alesha though - by far the best of the current BGT panel.
