It's possible nobody was available. There was only five heats, so three of the runners up will be through anyway. If both of the remaining two couldn't make it then yeah, a reserve is required.

They should've done two more heats, honestly. Another thing to fix for series two.

There are only 3 QF so it was the 5 winners plus one fastest loser, and then a fastest QF loser will make the semi finals too.

I'd be surprised if all four of the other heat losers were not available. If you've trained for this and get a second chance you'd take it, and they'd have already had to ensure they were available on the recording dates should they have made it through anyway.


P.S. Feels like the show is lacking in variety now with no new rounds for the QF. You'd expect the difficulty of the rounds to increase as the competition progresses.
