SCD '20 #9: GOAT (Greatest Of All Threads, or GO Away Tens)

[PolkadotsAndMoonbeams]

You decide.

Clara and Aliaz. Just two very lovely people. to see them go

The right decision. Much as I like Clara, and she did improve, it was a bit heavy and clumpy. BvB and Karen were good. Tense, though!

Can’t see how Clara going would be a shock boot - she was bottom of the leaderboard! That happened earlier in the series though - said it was a shock boot but whoever was at the bottom of the leaderboard went. A shock boot would have been NVWLS going.

I actually loved the choreography of that jive. I'd like to see Nadiya or Oti perform it (in heels!) with Johannes!

I thought Clara would go she’s had 2 bad weeks now so wasn’t a massive surprise

It's surprising what an octopus will tell you if you get her in a corner with a set of dominoes and ply her with rum and blackcurrant and bowls of assorted bivalve snacks Fuzzy.

Indeed schady. And don't I know it! (Although I didn't know about the rum and black.)

BvB studied Performance and Drama at the University of Leeds! That I did not know. I wonder if he graduated.

She can't half knock them back Fuzzy - all those arms, and at least four of them holding a glass . . . keeping the refills coming cost me a fortune.

But worth it for that sort of you-couldn't-possibly-work-it-out-for-yourself info.

Tassell not spit! Happened both times she danced.

Really enjoyed the concept of Jaime and Karen’s tango so glad they stayed Liked Clara but she did make a mistake again although not as bad as the first dance. I don’t know if a I’ve mentioned it (a few hundred times to any poor person who will listen) but I got to go behind the scenes at a strictly live recording show and met Aliaz I can confirm he was lovely!

That was a tassel not spit. It was held up by her superglue strength lip gloss

If Clara went through she probably wouldn't have survived whatever ridiculous theme the producers were planning to throw at her next week (Musicals)
Maybe not, but the extra 20k would have taken the edge off. When you've made it that far, love of dance/pro/PR aside, it must hurt a wee bit that you got paid the same as the early boots.

Pray tell me who the fuck is voting for JJ.? He is a charisma free zone and I actually forget that he is there. Also, Amy is the pro that I like the least, so I would have preferred them to go.
Sad that Clara is gone, she’s a genuinely lovely lady and Alijaz is my favourite male pro.

Poor Clara! I actually think she's gone because Aljaz has overdone the choreography for 2 weeks, she's just not quick enough on her feet and he should have given her a routine she could keep up with.

@derxa

Everybody going on about how posh BVB is. JJ is just as much of a public school boy.

He’s really not.

JJ went to a run of the mill private school, and as far as I can tell comes from a reasonably normal, though financially comfortable family - his father just happened to achieve high office.

Jamie comes from serious inherited wealth on the fringes of the aristocracy and went to an actual public school.

I need to go to Barnard Castle. Unfortunate regardless but the whole look was a debacle laid firmly at Vicky Giggle's door. Same as the thai dye. Clara deserved better. I think only the Tina wig put on Naga was worse.

So who will Clara's fans give their votes to now I wonder.

I'd like to see NVWLS in the dance off as he is testing too much of an easy ride.

Ranvir to win.

The shoes were stupid. Her toe heel swivels turned into toe toe swivels, and I don't blame her!

I’m sad for Clara, I don’t feel she’s had a fair run.

@SchadenfreudePersonified I’ve read that, I’d think the shock exit would be Maisie.

The papers do the ‘viewers outraged at strictly shock spoiler leak’ every single week.

No way will Ranvir win. T’will be nvwls or Bill

Indeed. The only person I have seen pull off a jive in flats was charlady Anita in trainers. The only person I thought might have benefited from flats was cheerleader Claudia (although her walkover in heels was a thing to behold).

I'm sad to see Clara go, she was a great personality. I think Aljaz's choreography was more suited to him not to Clara.

I've predicted NVWLS and Bill for the final all along. It's not about how good they are, it's just a popularity contest.
I don't get the love for either tbh. Both have danced before and are nothing special.
Dh voted for Bill every week!
I'd like Gio to win always have and always will. He is my favourite.
