Britain's Got Talent fans have been less than impressed with the episodes during the current series thanks to "unnecessary" changes to the format of the show.
The ITV talent show was back at the weekend and the complaints continued to roll in as viewers demanded a stop to the "overkill" use of new features.
The current series of Britain's Got Talent is ITV's 17th, with the talent show debuting back in 2007.
Judges Amanda Holden, Alesha Dixon, Simon Cowell and Bruno Tonioli have been on screens every weekend since the show's return as the series continues to air its audition stage.
Fronted by Ant and Dec, the programme has built a loyal fan base but it seems some have had enough of several features introduced to this year's series.
They made their frustrations known on social media during the latest episode as many slammed the "crazy" elements.

"Another #BGT performance that @ITV ruined for the viewer by constantly over using slow motion. Speed is what makes performances like the aerialist so impressive. Stop killing the effect!" one X user demanded.
"I can’t be the only person that thinks Britain’s Got Talent ruins its entire production with the amount of slow motion they use. The show could be about 30 minutes long without it. #bgt," a second fumed.
"I wish #BGT would cut the slow motion shots out!" another echoed, while someone else shared: "This might be the worst series of #BGT yet.
"The overproduction, unnecessary slow mo’s, the influencer acts approached by the producers ….. not authentic anymore."

"There's far more slow mos, cuts, adverts, chit-chat, and other shiz than actual act footage - and when there is an act it's specifically chosen by the judges! Crazy days! #BGT," another commented.
"Watched more Adverts then acts at this point #BGT," someone else added. (sic)
The complaints follows earlier criticisms about the show being "fixed," while others have admitted to "switching off".
However, one previous winner slammed down "fix" claims while speaking exclusively to GB News.

Former winner Lance Corporal Jones won the nation’s hearts as the soldier who was also a part-time magician.
"I went through all the way from the very beginning and I don't think they would even be able to rig it - it's the public that vote," he relfected.
"But I do find more and more that nowadays, [that] public perception and comments just generally seem to be on a more negative wavelength of everything.
"And I think that's a shame. I think that's something we can consciously try and revert back. Because there's nothing nicer when you do a TV show and you see lovely comments, and you see that people enjoyed what you do and they're so lovely."
