As before, “Nasty-ish” Nigel Lythgoe and his fellow judges will be offering heavy hints as to which of the remaining contenders deserve to keep their place in the competition, with host Cat Deeley poised to step in and offer the losers tea and sympathy (well, OK, just the latter) while making appropriate “there, there” noises.
