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

[PolkadotsAndMoonbeams]

You decide.

Previous thread

Pray tell me who the fuck is voting for JJ.?

This question was asked on another thread and basically the answer is: anyone who has someone in the Forces and half of Scotland.

Just in case you forgot about his back story (i.e his entire personality) this week, he was helpfully wearing a T Shirt with "ROYAL MARINES" emblazoned on the back in his training montage.

I'd love to see a Maisie/Gorka classic jive.

I'm concerned it's going to be Musicals week and ruined by a stupid theme 😬

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
If you say so

I was going to make that point, derxa!
JJ went to Strathallan school, the fees are slightly higher than Radley College, where BvB went. You'd need a minimum of £30k per year to put your lad through either.

She messed up, glad Motsi pointed that out and was very heavy footed but Craig chose to ignore that, he's usually very vocal.
BVB deserved to stay.
I think it's a shame JJ didn't go, his dances are very safe.
Alijas has really pushed Clara and she's been great, it's only the last 2 weeks she's struggled.

Not me elspeth - not me!

And I qualify on both counts. And I have raf wings on my foof.

(I don’t - it just sounded more impressive than a RM tee-shirt)

Don't be dissing our Scottish public schools. I know quite a few people who went to schools like Strathallan. They speak with a Scottish accent but they also have a strong sense of their place in the world if I can put it like that. I don't dislike them but I can spot them a mile off.

Ooh, Like a wee moustache?

I do think that was the right decision - Clara has had two weak performances in a row.

I have nothing against BVB personally, but rather I’m against the sort of privilege and cultural disparity he embodies.

And I dont vote for JJ either.

I would like Gio and Ranvir to win simply because I think he is a very good teacher and consistently gets the best out of his partners. Ranvir isn't strong enough at Latin though. I think HRV is going to win; he's not polarising and will probably do a very showy showdance with lots of wafty chiffon and throwing JNTT off a CGI cliff.

I would love to have a bet on how long JJ can avoid Latin. I am betting he will leave without ever moving his hips.

They usually have an accent like Sir Chris Hoy and have craggy jaws.

Indeed, derxa the Scottish public school system produced many leaders for the Empire.

Is there such a thing as "run of the mill private school" to us commoners?

🤣🤣🤣🤣

Nobody should be judged by what school they went to, good or bad!

I’ve had worse descriptions 🤣

But I hope you are on about school people

I would like to see jj do a samba or something like that, and maise to do a slow dance.

callmeadoctor quite!

Agreed. All of the contestants have worked hard for their place in life.

I've got quite a powerful jaw myself.

How is Clara expected to dance in those flat shoes?? Lots of choreography in there. Too much? She was a lot better tonight, I thought.

Boo! I'll miss her. Loved watching her dance.

Why does Shirley talk as if Bill is about ninety five? Ohhhhh your stamina.

She wanted to ask him how he pinched Clara’s jive heels and left her flapping about in his jive gymmies.

It was the shoooooooooooooooooes.

I'd like Ranvir and Gio to win but agree that Bill or NVWLS probably will.

I went to a run of the mill private school. It didn’t cost £35k a year, in fact I don’t think it cost that much for me a my siblings in total. It’s. World away from BVB.
