Week One: Back with a Bang!

April 19th, 2010

 

Well, Britain’s Got Talent is back with a bang!

 

What a way to start the series - we saw everything from the ridiculous to the sublime! ‘Doubletake’ and their tambourines, sorry timbrels, kicked off this year’s series, didn’t quite make the cut and off we went. We’ve barely scratched the surface of the talent we saw but what about little Chloe who blew everyone away with her stunning rendition of ‘White Cliffs of Dover’… It was deservedly met with a standing ovation and a lot of leaky eyes from the audience. 

 

Tobias Mead got a fantastic reaction with a very creative performance, another skilled street dancer to add to the already bursting list of street dancers Britain’s Got Talent has discovered over the years. And wasn’t it great to see Kieran the drummer boy back? So many of you were gutted after he didn’t make it through last year, (as were we) so it was a real treat to see him back and finally getting the recognition he deserves. It was touch and go there for a while wasn’t it, but the judges’ decision to send him away, dump his Mum and Dad and let come back as a soloist was absolutely the right call! We both let out a collective sigh of relief and a shout of joy, (not easy, try it), when he made it through. As with Chloe, he’s a lovely kid with a good chance in the competition this year and is it just us or does he remind anybody else of a young Adrian Chiles!

 

The other big story of the show of course was that Simon was stuck down by flu, which meant there was a space on the panel that desperately needed to be filled. And who else can desperately fill a space quite like Louis Walsh!? The other two, Piers and Amanda were like school kids when the proper teacher is away and you’ve got a supply teacher in, they were quite mischievous. It was actually quite nice to have Louis around the place for a few days, and I think he enjoyed being out of his sheltered accommodation for a bit, bless him! And boy oh boy he absolutely loved that buzzer didn’t he? He couldn’t get enough of it, watch out for him bringing his own buzzer along to next year’s X Factor auditions!

 

Simon’s illness meant he missed out on one of the best dog acts we’ve ever seen on the show, Tina and her best friend Chandi. They were brilliant weren’t they!? Simon is a huge dog lover and is still gutted to this day that he wasn’t there for their audition.  Their appearance has created a bit of an argument between the two of us though, we can’t decide whether Kate and Gin the dog from series two are better than Tina and Chandi. We started to argue about it and we can’t quite agree so gang, please help us decide in our…

 

 Big Question Of The Week…

 Were Tina and Chandi better than Kate and Gin?

 

Let us know in the comments below!

Until next week,

Ant & Dec.

Tina and Chandi were fantastic,chandi is such a clever dog you could really see they both enjoyed doing that performance together.I really loved it.
Ant&Dec you to are really good fun to watch,my favourite night in is when your on tv the best two presenters ever.


Becky says:

ooo, I love both of them! I’ve watched loads of Kate and Gin on the internet, but Chandi was great too! I can’t decide! xx


Amie says:

I think Kate and Gin were better but i think Tina and Chandi were good as well. My favourites so far are the acrobatic group.


Annette says:

I think Tina and Chandi were better. More fun also, because Chandi really looked like she was doing some ballet.
I loved watching it!!

Sarah and Jamie says:

Hi A & D!

We both loved Tina and her gorgeous dog Chandi on Saturday, and the fact that Chandi is a pound hound like our own precious boy!
Saw in the paper today that Tina has been on Jim’ll Fix it’ - I remember seeing her - was desparate to go on that show - she was on the titles for ages afterwards - I was so jealous!
Anyway - Tina and Chandi to win BGT>
Rescue dogs are the greatest!

LOTS OF LOVE BECCA XXXXXX
I LOVE YOU MILLIONS XXXXXXXXXXXXXX


Sue says:

That was supposed to say Chandi, not Chanid!!! haha!


Sue says:

Hello Ant and Dec!

Wot ya arguing for?! Tina and Chandi are fab-u-lous! I’ve been following them for a few years at Crufts and via their website - have you seen the video of Tina when she was 6 on ‘Jim’ll Fix It’ playing the piano - so cute! There’s another one of her playing on TV when she’s all grown up (LOL) sooooo talented!
Kate and Gin were good on BGT, but Tina and Chanid just blew them out of the water, IMHO.

Lots of Love to you both.
Sue XXXXX


Trish says:

Hey guys!

Great opening show to the series - can’t wait for tomorrow!
Want to just add a comment to the ‘big’ debate on here and pick up on something said to belittle Tina’s amazing accomplishments with Chandi. I run a rescue centre for border collies and believe me when I tell you, that just because Chandi was technically a puppy at 16 weeks old when Tina took her in, doesn’t mean to say that she would have necessarily been easy to teach. When pups reach the critical age of 12 weeks, if they haven’t been socialised correctly, and exposed to all manner of things, their reaction to new things after this age is one of fear rather than curiosity. It can take one heck of a lot of effort to retrain even a young dog - obviously the person who belittled Tina taking in Chandi and saying that she just chose a cute pup, has not had a great deal experience of rescue dogs themselves! FYI, Tina used to have a crossbreed dog also from the dog pound that she rescued when the dog was about 9 or 10 months old - the dog had been abused and was seriously screwed up - a lot of dog for a novice dog owner to cope with. This is the kind of dog we see perpetually in and out of rescue, because they are just too much to cope with. Tina figured out how to train Pepper and was even placed first (with Chandi second!) in one competition, so hard had Tina worked with her to overcome her problems. I think Tina has proven herself to be a seriously good trainer who, rather than buy a puppy, gives a dog a second chance at a an incredible life working with her.
It’s a crying shame that more top handlers don’t follow Tina’s example and show that a rescue dog CAN get to the top of their sport with hard work, love and dedication!
Rescue dogs rule! Tina and Chandi to win!
XXXXX
P.S. Sorry for going on, but it needed saying!


Eileen says:

I think definatly tina and chandi are better then kate and gin


Ali. says:

Hiya!

My family and me all loved Tina and Chandi on Saturday! We thought Kate and Gin were good at the time, but having seen Chandi , there is just something really special about her with Tina - we were all balling our eyes out watching her and other people we’ve spoken to have said the same thing! I don’t think anything has ever moved us so much as a family - even hubby was crying - certainly wasn’t expecting it to happen on BGT.
Love you guys - apart form the occasional fab act - you are the stars of the show, although as someone else said on here, Chandi truly did upstage you on saturday - sorry but it’s true.
Love ya! XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX


Rita Clarke says:

My daughter’s friend told her that you were talking about both these dog acts and I had to find you and comment. Kate and Gin were good, but Tina and Chandi were outstanding on Saturday - Simon would have adored them, I feel sure!
I don’t know what they did to me, but I ws so captivated by them both, the only word to describe the feeling was ‘magic’.

I hope Tina is aware of all the support she has and isn’t upset by any of the ’sour grapes’ going round.


Alan says:

Tina and Chandi or Kate and Gin? No Contest whatsoever - Tina and Chandi were special beyond belief - their relationship and performance made my eyes leak, I’m somewhat embarrassed to admit!

Tina and Chandi to win the show - true variety and talent from human and canine alike!
(Apologies to Ant and Dec for not saying that I love you, which seems to be quite rampant on here!)


louise says:

i think kate and gin were better :) xxxxxxx


Susie says:

Hi boys!

Just walked by the papers in the supermarket and the picture of Chandi on the front cover caught my eye - the headline read ’secret life of bgt dog’. I was wondering what sordid kind of life Chandi could possibly be leading so I looked inside and found a full page of pictures and all about how they’ve won Crufts and been on the TV and won another talent show 3 years ago that would be just before Kate and Gin were on BGT then, making Simon Cowell’s comment about K & G being original not correct in the slightest!! How fantastic that these two are at the top of their game and now trying out on this huge bgt platform.
So looking forward to seeing a new routine from them - good luck Tina and Chandi.

Great show boys!


Kevin loves Chandi!! says:

Luved Tina and Chandi’s act on the tv - nice to see someone whos worked hard over the years and done good things finally get to this show rather than someone who hasnt paid there dues over the years. My Mum always told me that talent was nothing without hard work - good for Tina that she’s gained experience before getting on bgt.
Normaly dont like dog acts but this one got to me.


Dave says:

Just read on Tina’s website that she doesn’t get her kicks out of belittling people and that she is in awe of Kate and Gin and what they achieved together,and says she wishes them luck in the future. I then read Kate and Gin’s supporters trying to start some controversy over the little bandage thing Chandi had on her leg on Saturday, making out she is in poor health. These kind of comments make me feel sick to my stomach and obviously come from people that have never watched a beloved member of their family go through illness. Tina does not strike me as the kind of person that would do anything with Chandi that was not in her best interests. If Chandi was ill last year and her vet had written her off, like someone said on here, then I want to know what Tina has done to help Chandi as she looked in great condition! A lot of dedicated care and devotion behind the scenes I would have thought.
Good on you Tina (and Chandi) - ignore the few bad comments and keep doing what you do together - as you say - your work together speaks for itself.
Will be backing you, along with my whole family, all the way to the Royal Variety. That’ll give ‘em something to REALLY talk about.
Bless you both. X


Karen Weller says:

Tina and Chandi are one fantastic act! I find it really sad reading people writing nasty things about Chandi’s age and state of health, just because she had what looked like a plaster on her leg! Tina was asked about it and said it was a little sore on her leg - why do people then have to think that Tina was lying and be suspcious saying that the dog is in poor health?! That did not look like an ill dog to me - the beautiful head shots of her sparkly clear eyes and beautiful coat were not pictures of an ill dog - for anyone that has not seen an ill dog, let me assure you that they don’t look like Chandi did!
Chandi may be nearly 12 - I hope when I’m old, someone doesn’t just ditch me in favour of a younger model - does it really mean that Chandi isn’t allowed to do what she obviously loves anymore just because she is older? If that’s all the Kate and Gin ‘fans’ can come up with, then shame on you. Be very careful what you say - what comes around goes around.
Karen


AbbylovesDecDonnelly xx & Ant Mcpartlin xx says:

I THINK THAT THERE IS NO COMPARISON BETWEEN THE TWO , KATE AND GIN , TINA AND CHANDI? MUCH AS I LOVE KATE AND GIN , I AM GOING TO GO WITH TINA AND CHANDI.
THEIR ACT WAS SLIGHTLY DIFFERENT AND VERY CLEVER I LOVED IT , ABSOLUTELY AMAZING.
LOVE ABBY XXX


StuartW says:

Love Tina and Chandi, but for me the vote goes to Kate and Gin an amazing dynamic act, Gin looks as though she is having so much fun. Chandi is starting to show her age of nearly 12 years.


Sophie x says:

Great show guys!
Loved it!

Will there be a series of SNT this year?

xxxx


Jade C says:

ooh and they were also very sycronized with the beat of the music so it looked almost like a dance.

oh and i also love you guys! you are the best :) never change or stop what you are doing x


Jade C says:

They are both very simular that its almost too hard to choose. they are both amazing acts, but i probably prefer Tina and Chandi’s act more with the whole ballet act going on- i thought it was hilarious but then again in Kate and Gin’s act, Gin was more capable of going backwards alot whilst Chandi only did it once in a circle.


Beccaa Loves Ant&&Dec Loaaads xxx says:

CHANDI AND TINA IS THE BEST DOG ACT IVE EVER SEEN, (NOT THAT IVE SEEN MANY)
BUT STILL, LOVING BGT!
AND I LIKE THE NEW ADVERT YOU HAVE DONE FOR ITV1 HD ;)
NEWCASTLE ARE CHAMPIONSSSSSS!!!
WOOOOOPP X
LOTS OF LOVE BECCA! XOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXO
I LOVE YOU MILLIONS!


Helen Brooke says:

I watched you talk about BGT on Alan Carr’s Chatty Man show a few weeks ago and on there you said you had a ‘definite favourite act’ - I think we saw that act on Saturday! After Chandi put her paw on your knee, Ant you used the same ‘cutsey’ voice that you used on Chatty Man - I think you’ve fallen for Chandi, hook, line and sinker, and she is your favourite BGT act! I also agree with something someone else noticed on here about Dec’s reaction to Tina and Chandi during their performance - mesmerised was a good word choice! From what we’ve seen of Tina and her stunningly beautiful dog so far, I think you’d be ideally suited Dec - I read in some tabloid that she’s still searching for her human soulmate …

Tina and Chandi to win - most fabulous dog performance ever seen on British T.V.

XXXX


Ken says:

Hello - I don’t usually post on your website, but just wanted to add my bit to the debate - I loved Tina and Chandi’s routine on Saturday - never seen a dog do anything like that before!
I subscribed to their website and have just received an update and was appalled to read the article in the Daily Star today and the comments that Kate (and Gin)made about Tina and Chandi! Considering Kate has been dealing with media attention over the last 2 years, I am astounded that she made such comments - how much more classy and respectful Tina has proven herself to be in her reply and what she has written on her website.
You have my vote Tina (and you’re very, very pretty!).


Gail says:

Hi Guys!

It would appear that the Daily Star paper has picked up on the same question as you, and after reading the article on Tina and Chandi’s website just now, and seeing that you were asking people to decide who they though were better out of Tina and Chandi and Kate and Gin (series 2), I felt compelled to leave a comment for you. After watching Tina and the way she was with her dog on Saturday, I was completely captivated with her intelligence and charm - she came across as a genuinely lovely person. Having read the comment she has made on her website in reference to the Daily Star article and Kate’s comments, I am even more impressed with the way she is conducting herself in the media. Kate could indeed, as other people have pointed out, learn a great deal from Tina!
Tina and Chandi to go all the way to the Royal Variety Performance - they sure have my vote!
And since I’m here, guys - I just adore you both!!!(sorry, couldn’t help myself … oh, here I go again … LOVE YOU, Dec! XXXXX)


Kathryn Dale says:

Hi Ant and Dec.
Tina and Chandi were very good but not exactly kate and Gin.Gin had only been dancing for two yrs and Kate was only 16 ,so when Kate is Tina’s age just imagine how fantastic she will be.I recently went to a concert that kate and Gin were in and her younger collie dog who is 20 months.Was fantastic she had the high energy of Gin with the accurate paw work of Chandi.She is definetly one to watch Kate has done an amzing job with her as she is way better than Gin and Chandi.Kate also introduced her new puppy a Jack Russel cross Poodle at the concert.I have watched Tina and chandi over the many years and felt the dog struggled with the routine on BGT maybe due to age and illness as Chandi used to work so flowing and accuratly.I admire her for getting Chandi from the pound ,but the puppies are the ones that find homes straight away because there cute unlike the older dogs who sadly get put to sleep.Having been a fan of Tina and Chandi for manyyears about a year ago on Twitter she said the vet had given up on Chandi and she was on 60 tablets a day so maybe the bandage is more than just a sore.Even though I enjoy watching Chandi.Kate and Gin get my vote for still being entertaining and so original and having a gang of dancing dogs,which just get better and better two years on.

Thanks
Kath


Dav says:

Just put on radio and listened to the comment” Move over Subo Chandi is here”I couldn’t agree more. What a fantastic act. Chandi is so talented (so is her owner). I could have watched them all night. This would be an amazing act for The Royal Variety.Chandi to win well done both.


Jake says:

WOW! What a fab dog never seen anything like it. The dog was so clever I never saw Tina give any signals to Chandi to tell her what to do or give her any food. How did she do that?You need a good act to beat this one. It was brilliant. Great show guys so pleased it’s back.


Jan says:

No contest - Tina and Chandi are incredible! After Saturday, I had a long chat with my dog about what he was doing with his life!

Looking forward to next week’s show!

X


Deb's says:

Tina and Chandi were far better than Kate and Gin. They did outstanding moves and timing was perfection. I have seen many dog acts like Kate and Gins which are all very simaliar. Tina and Chandi were so fantastically different, they are so talented and the bond between them is incredible. The way Chandi looked up at Tina brought tears to my eyes.Simon really knows talent when he sees it Rock on Tina and Chandi luv ya loads xx Tina and Chandi TO WIN.


Chris says:

Tina and Chandi are so much better than Kate and Gin. Tina is far more aware of the music that is playing and Chandi is so quick to pick up on what Tina wants her to do next! It is an amazing relationship to watch. Check out their other videos on YouTube. Its about time this team finally started to get the recognition for their talent that they deserve!


AbbylovesDecDonnelly xx & Ant Mcpartlin xx says:

TOBIAS MEAD FANTASTIC LOL XX , STREET DANCER.


AbbylovesDecDonnelly xx & Ant Mcpartlin xx says:

OH YES , DEFINATELY AGREE THAT KIERAN . LOOKS LIKE ADRIAN CHILES. LOL XX


AbbylovesDecDonnelly xx & Ant Mcpartlin xx says:

I’VE NEVER SEEN SUCH A BRILL DOG ACT , LIKE TINA AND CHANDI. BEST ACT SO FAR , SO I WILL GO WITH THEM.
ANT AND DEC WHAT DO U BOTH THINK?
LOVE ABBY XXXX
I LOVE ANT XXX I LOVE DEC XXX V MUCH MWAH MWAH XXX


AbbylovesDecDonnelly xx & Ant Mcpartlin xx says:

I LOVE DEC XXXXXXX TOO


Davey says:

At the time Kate & Gin were good.
Tina & Chandi do however have a far better partnership. Kate has now gone into the sport of obedience and expects everyone in that sport to admire her. Kate, it doesn’t work that way, you do have to be really good to succeed in the sport you have chosen. Kate has made very few friends with her attitude.


lauren loves Ant & Dec !:) says:

I thought that Tina & Chandi were better than Kate & Gin… i think that Kate & Gin could learn quite a bit from Tina & Chandi

i also thought it was a shame fo Simon when he was ill with the flu and missed Tina & chandi :(
byeeeee Ant & Dec <3 <3 <3 xxxxxx


Katy from Durham says:

Though this may seem silly they are actually quite different and to make a comparison between the two acts would verge almost on the impossible despite this I think that they were both excellent but that Kate and Gin were just that tiny bit better


Carolyn says:

I think Kate and Gin were better, though Chandi was soooo amazing :) I really dont see all the fuss with the drummer boy, it’s not very entertaining :/
xxxxxxxxxxx


Sally and Hermione says:

Tina and Chandi have no competition - Kate and Gin could learn an awful lot form the two of them!
Loving the show and your reactions - your little ‘burp’ Dec, was cute and little, just like you are (and we don’t approve of such bad manners!!)
Can’t wait to see you again next week - usually you’re the best bit of the show - Chandi did upstage you a bit this week though, sorry!
XXX


abbey luvs ant and dec says:

i love kieron i’m glad he came back!!
and i like the street dancer tobais mead he was really good but i still think the best dancer ever been on bgt is george sampson!!!<3


Bonnie says:

Both Kate and Gin and Tina and Chandi are wonderful! They are not competing against each other. These are different teams with different strengths. Tina and Chandi are technically a lot better, but Kate and Gin are awesome as well. Why try to put a wedge between two fantastic freestyle teams? Instead, why not discuss what they all contribute to canine freestyle as they each model a joyful, fulfilling bond between human and dog?


Simon says:

Adore Tina and Chandi! You go girls XXXX


JimmePaul says:

I couldn’t say it any better than Harriet’s comment April 20th. I agree with Harriet’s. I am talking about comparing Chandi and Gin comments.
But I guess her comments about Ant & Dec are correct also. LOL


Kath G says:

Just read on Tina and Chandi’s Fansite on FB there was some kind of debate on your blog - no question in my mind, Tina and Chandi superior on every level, although Kate and Gin must be admired for what they achieved!

Love you Dec!XXXXXXX


Carole says:

Tina and Chandi are phenomenal! I have just been watching videos of other routines they have performed at Crufts over on YouTube. I’ve never seen anything like it - and there are no hand gestures to get the dog to do things!!! I wish I knew how Tina gets Chandi to that level, and would come and help me with my dog! She won’t even come back when I call her ;(
Great to see Britain’s got talent back - what are some people thinking when they enter the show???!!!!! Fabulous!


Helen C says:

Facebook fans for Kate and Gin = 484 and they’ve been around for 2 years.
Facebook fans for Tina and Chandi on their official fansite (there appears to be 6 other fansites that have now appeared as well!) = 1100! Bear in mind that Tina and Chandi only became known 3 days ago! maybe the stats tell a story …


Laura says:

I loved both acts and thought they were both brilliant but I think Kate and Gin were better. Although, saying that, both women could probably train both dogs to do exactly the same act!! Maybe they should meet and do a double-double act?!! =)
See what you can do boys!
Laura x


Harriet says:

If people are just impressed with speed, then Kate and Gin are better. If, on the other hand you look beyond the superficial, then Chandi’s routines are artistic, intelligent and tell a story as they fit so beautifully with the music. There really is no comparison between them - isn’t Simon backing Chandi to win?! And Piers and Amanda said that Chandi was the best dog act they’ve ever had on the show - Kate and Gin didn’t get a standing ovation form the judges!
Greta to have BGT back - and more of Ant and Dec - you couple of cuties! X


Carrie. says:

Tina and Chandi are way better than Kate and Gin! Take away the speed of Gin and the routine is so basic! Chandi does amazing things and all in time with the music - I’ve just been reading their website and they have won 4 Crufts titles - holy cow! Chandi to rule the world! XXXXXXXXXXXXXX


Gina says:

Hello boys!

Just been reading the other comments made here, and just had to add something about your reaction to Tina and Chandy’s performance - Dec seemed completely mesmerised while watching their performance! It seemed to me that he only remembered he was supposed to be reacting to the camera when Ant started clapping and jumping up and down. I know I’d rather have someone intent on watching me perform rather than just cheering and reacting for the camera - besides Ant said at the end ” at last we’ve found a talent dog!”.

Love you guys to bits - especially you Dec - wish it had been me you were looking at like that!
XXX


Sarah and Polly (the dog) says:

Hi Guys!

I have been watching Tina and Chandi at Crufts for the last few years and they never fail to produce stunning routines - they are seriously good and what I love about their routines is the fact that Tina really choreographs the routine to fit the music, and they both move IN TIME to the music, so it really looks like a dance, rather than some tricks whilst there just happens to be music playing in the background, which is what Kate and Gin’s routines are like. Tina and Chandi are the best in the world!!


suzanne says:

how can you choose? they are both brilliant!!! Katie and Gin should have won and Tina and Chandi will win!!!


Wuschel says:

Tina & Chandi better by miles !


Sheila Tannert says:

Tina and Chandi are the best seen her loads of times and the routines are always great


Melanie Y. says:

I love the editing of the background tracks. e.g. timing the lyrics of Tik Tok as “the party don’t start till I walk in” upon Simon’s grand entrance to the auditorium and the Jaws theme when he comes back from being ill. I also love how they played Scissor Sisters - “don’t feel like dancin’, no sir, no dancin’ today” when the terrier wouldn’t “dance”. AND when we found out Kieron’s act would be a family act, they started playing Hanson…very clever editor you’ve got :)

I like both dog acts, but I have to say that Kate and Gin had a lot more movement and the pace was much quicker so I think they would get my vote.

If you really want to know who you think was best, just replay and compare the footage of your guys’ reaction to both and you should be able to see which one you really liked best.


Anne says:

Personally, I believe that Kate and Gin’s performance was better, surely more fun.
And of course, Kate was just a teen when she trained her pup. That has to count for something!


Suzanne says:

I liked them both but apart from Chandi doing the bit at the ballet bar, she really didn’t do anything that Gin didn’t do. I think therefore because Kate and Gin were original in all their routines, they win my vote over Tina and Chandi.


Elspeth says:

I liked both of them, and I think they were both good, but I would have to say Kate and Gin were better. However, Chandi is pretty amazing and I hope Tina and Chandi go far.


Marilyn says:

Definately Tina and Chandi. Kate and Gin were very very good but Tina and Chandi have the edge. Great show x


Teresa Davies says:

Definately thought Tina and Chandi were better alot more variation in routine- It was amazing to watch and think that they deserve to win show!It is incredible to beable to train a dog like that, a very talented lady.


Emily says:

I loved both the dog acts. I think that Chandi and Tina were more accurate with their moves, but Kate and gin seemed to have more fun and more impressive moves. I was amazed by both of them, I can’t get my dog to do more than 3 tricks!


Chocolate EClaire says:

Hi Guys,
Great show, although I didn’t watch it on Saturday but watched the repeat on Sunday and I’m glad I did, becase it was really entertaining as always. To be perfectly honest I really can’t deside who was best between Chandi and Gin they are both fantastic in their own way.
Look forward to this week and keep up the work.
Look after your selves.
Talk soon.
Love Claire xxoo


Laura says:

Oh my god! A young Adrian Chiles?? Definately! Haha x


Sarah Rowlands says:

Tina and Chandi to win!!! We’ve had the singers and dancers time for some totally new!! What an amazing bond, can’t wait to see you guy again!


Rachel says:

I am currently stuck in Italy on my own(due to the volcanic ash crisis!) and I wanted to let you know that I am reading the Ant & Dec book “Ooh What A Lovely Pair” - it is brilliant - it is making me smile despite the fact that I would love to be home.

Best wishes, Rachel xx


Sandra McKean says:

Hi Ant, Hi Dec.. loved the show and I thought that Tobius was really good and a bit freaky!
I enjoyed Tina & Chandi more than Kate & Gin..Chandi was so adorable and had better moves !I’m a bit of a soppy one and they won me over when I heard their story ah…. bless
Love n hugs and take care love Sandra P.S when are you doing the balloon dance for us ?
We need a good laugh !!!! Lol just kidding


Splash says:

I thought Kate and Gin and Tina and Chandi were both brilliant, but as a fellow rescue dog, my paws would have to vote for Chandi, I also think we have only seen one audition, I’m expecting Chandi to wow us with further routines, she’s such a star.


Dana says:

I love Chandi, but Kate and Gin have a very special place in my heart. The two of them are on Twitter, too!


Kirsty says:

They were great would need to see clips of both dog acts to decide - maybe you could put them on here for us to vote?

susan dooney says:

Both Kate and Tina bring very different aspects to their routines each with their own merit and I think it is very difficult to choose between them. The two of them always produce routines that are both inspiring and such a joy to watch no matter where they are.
BGT has begun Good Luck Tina and Chandi…You have my vote :)


Rose says:

yes :) but Kate and Gin were still awesome :)
loved the show…looking forward to watching BGT this saturday :)
xxxx


Danika says:

I really liked Kate and Gin, but I also liked Tina and Chandi. Both acts have their own sort of style. I guess my favorite would have to be Kate and Gin because of their story and everything, but we will see! :)

Can’t wait for the next show! :)


Laura Doggett says:

Hii,

I think both ‘Tina & Chandi’ and ‘Kate & Gin’ are both
utterly Amazing, but I think Tina & Chandi are that tiny bit better!!

Love You Lots
Laura

Marion says:

Tina and Chandi were amazing.


Buzz says:

Apples and oranges. Kate & Gin did a dance number with mostly footwork. Tina and Chandi did story-telling with mostly tricks. IMO, Kate & Gin were extremely dynamic but did not show anything most dog dancers already do - nothing innovative, even if I LOVED them. Tina & Chandi did not only standard Freestyle moves but also innovative moves like clean the back feet, taking off the coat, Conga-line with Chandi leading. Tina & Chandi are not only British Champions, but also World Champions!


Amanda says:

I love Kate and Gin from season 2 but Tina and Chandi win the contest for me! They were fab and I am SO excited to see what they have up their sleeve for the next part!

Amanda


Anne Stanley says:

Tina and Chandi rule!!..

Katie says:

Where is this filmed? I’m visiting England in August and would love to try and get tickets.


Monica says:

First, I’d like to say that I really liked the show. Louis was a good judge but in my opinion no one can replace Simon.
Secondly, I think Chandi was way better than Gin. Both dogs are amazing but chandi did ballet!! How can you teach a dog to do ballet moves? I can’t teach mine even to sit!

Can’t wait the next show. Hope there will be more surises! =)


Katie says:

I think Tina & Chandi were better but i loved both! I’m sure a big Dog lover so loved both performances but Tina & Chandi were better! :) x


Lorraine burgessn says:

Chandi was brill and so versatile-chandi the
rescue dog gets my vote


boo says:

They were both amazingly good…and they both surprised me…as I didn’t expect them to be that good…So I’m with both of you. :P Stop Arguing…:P :P :P Love you both boys xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx


Chloe says:

I loved BGT on Saturday! Its good to have it back :) I loved the way the woman from ‘Doubletake’ was arguing about the tiberals/tambourines with Simon, that was hilarious! :D Chloe was amazing but I loved Tobias Mead…he was so original and his performance was amazing! It’s good to see Kieran back…I just hope he doesn’t get let down again like last year, and can get through to the live shows…its great to see his determination! The ‘Burper’ man was well funny, but I have to say i laughed more at Dec’s little burp than his enormous burps! :D
Having Simon away must have made all the acts think that they had more of a chance of getting through :D not with Louis liking that buzzer so much though! haa :) It was weird having Simon away!
Tina and Chandi were really good…but I don’t know about which one is better between them and Kate and Gin!…I guess both are great in their own ways :)
Ooh and I LOVE the ‘Partners in Rhyme’ thingy on BGMT…it is awesome! Having it a bit like Wonkey Donkey brings back memories! :) It’s genius!
Thanks for the blog update…looking forward to BGT on Saturday!!! :D
xxxxxxx


kayleigh says:

Alex ♥-Newcastle says:

loveyouu’s x from ^^^^^ well…it says up there :D x


Jade Cook says:

Hiyaa!!!!
Thanks for the new blog! :)
You guys haven’t fallen out have you!! LOL
I think that they are just the same…but Chandi was amazing doing all the little ballet and everything :) SO CUTE! I wish my dog could that…I wish LOL

So yeah..Kate and Gin will still hold the record for best dog act but Tina and Chandi are close behind!

Hopefully all our comments will stop the argument! :)

Lots and Lots of Love
Jade XxXXxXxXxxXxXXxx


Hayley Wright says:

OrintaAaAaaa says:

Yes!!! They were fantastico!!! :D
Good to see you guys bck on telly!!!

xxxxxx


Sanna - Finland says:

I love all animal acts and having to choose between Kate & Gin and Tina & Chandi is pretty hard, but as a former rescue dog owner I have to go with Chandi. Rescue dogs are simply brilliant! ♥

Yes Gin was more energetic and playful, but you have to remember that Chandi is (according to BGT) 11 yrs old!


Evangeline says:

Kate and Gin!


officialstephensangel says:

kellieann says:

i think kate and gin were way better!!!! but the other two are good.
you too made me laugh!!!


Saskia says:

If you really look at the level of difficulty of the things that Tina has taught Chandi and compare to the more basic things that Kate did with Gin (like jumping over a stick, or her back, or her leg, or weaving between her knees)you actually realise how awesome Chandi is for being able to perform such things - the back to back move just blew me away - I mean, c’mmon! - what did Gin do to rival that?! If you watch the video of Kate and Gin you will notice that for every move the dog does, Kate does a rather large, obvious hand signal to cue the dog. I didn’t see Tina use any hand signals at all during the performance on Saturday! Chandi must understand how to do all that routine from spoken cues only - holy cow!!! Gin’s routine may have been done at top speed, but if you take the speed away and really analyse the actual moves, Chandi is completely awesome! But then this is only my personal opinion! Chandi to win!!


Katie_Germany says:

I also think Kate and Gin were a bit better.
But I didnt like Louis that much. Hes all right I guess, but I dont think hes funny at all. Glad Simon wasnt out for too long!
It’s amazing that you two have never missed anything!
Katie xx


Jade aka J4D4EVA says:

Love
