SCD '20 #6: Have no fear, Judge Anton's here!

[PolkadotsAndMoonbeams]

I'm a bit worried we'll run out the other thread tonight, and it'll be too fast-paced for me to get a new one going during the show, so I'm getting prepared early!

Feel free to place mark or watch this thread, but head back to the previous thread for the moment, and we can move across later.

I just can't stand Caroline in this. I've never felt like that about her before. I was hoping she'd be in the dance off.

Surprised about Maisie.

No more Marine emotional blackmail please now. Done. At least change it to nan wars or something.

As I feared. Maisie let down by that terrible styling and odd choreo.

JJ is living on borrowed time.
Hope Joe Varney is through he is my absolute favourite male dancer.

I LOVE that colour on Claude.

I didn't vote for Maisie because I preferred some of the others.

Still don't think Johannes is enjoying this year.

Yes, I didn't think Maisie would struggle for votes.

Bill's the only one who could beat her (unless she falls over or something), any of the other three will go home.

I liked Caroline too, great actress.

Quietly chuffed for JJ. I gave him all my votes because I got the fear.

Wow, I’ll say it again. Clara is stunning. I have serious hair envy. Is it a Marcel wave? I’m going to google and have a go.

The curse of the competent young woman... how dare she be good and confident.

Quite. But she should be bloody confident, she is great at her job that she's done since she was 6, she's good at this, she looks great, she clearly has a strong family.

Oh, the teenage girls will be tuning in now for The Vamps!

Caroline is getting the votes.
I like the Vamps.

Good god this band look about 12

I definitely preferred Alijaz when his English was only so so and I thought he was a brooding brunette
Turns out he’s camp AF

This is the bit where I feel old.

I toyed with voting Maisie last night but went for Ranvir to try and save her. looks like I have cocked up either way.

Loving Clara more and more

I agree Cherry. He didn't look like he was smiling or laughing in the Clauditorium, he was baring his teeth.

I voted Maisie, Ranvir and Clara because I was feeling a bit pissed and feminist

Oh no The Vamps ruined by more burning Neil!

I don't really like Nancy's dancing style 😱

I don't think it's because she's a 'competent young woman' - there have been many good young women in the past who have been popular with the public. Alesha Dixon, Rachel Stevens, Louisa Lytton, Kara Tointon, chelsee Healey, abbey Clancy, Caroline Flack.... it's all about the personality. Maisie has that faux modesty thing going on and people don't warm to that.

Maisie looked genuinely gutted. Felt for her.

Really like Nancy, want her to have a partner next year.

Maybe it isn't actually Caroline who is the high maintenance one...?
