Did you know the show has a hidden time bomb? It’s called the "Superlatives" segment. That’s where they recap the best auditions.
This adds a sneaky 15 minutes to the final. It’s like they’re saying, "Remember this? Watch it again!" Pure genius. Pure torture for the sleep-deprived.
And then there’s the ad breaks. In the UK, ITV loves them. A 90-minute show has about 22 minutes of adverts. That’s a lot of time to debate whether the dancing dog was actually good.
The "Live" Factor (It’s a Lie)
Here’s a funny secret: the live shows aren’t truly live. They’re recorded with a 15-second delay. Why? To bleep out the swear words from nervous acts or Simon Cowell’s sarcastic remarks.
That delay doesn’t change the runtime, though. It just means the producers are sweating slightly more. Imagine being the person who has to hit the mute button on a forgotten F-bomb. Stressful.

And let’s not forget the voting window. After the performance, you have about 5 minutes to text your vote. That’s barely enough time to find your phone under the sofa cushion.
