SCD '23 #8: Where we show off our beautifully bevelled ankles. NO SPOILERS

[PolkadotsAndMoonbeams]

I thought I'd take inspiration from Shirley's word of the week. We're down to the last few pages of #7 and I had some spare time so thought I'd get prepared.

NO SPOILERS PLEASE

👎 boo

I wonder if they agreed to let Karen go if they fell into the bottom 2.

I think that must have looked different in the studio?

Eddie's technique wasn't great, but it looked a lot more relaxed and flowing than Zara's.

Zara barely danced. Ridiculous decision.

I don’t think either of them will go much further, but…..

I think Eddie is a better natural dancer but Karen isn’t a good teacher

and Zara was in the air fjr half of her dance!

Absolute stinker of a result

NEW THREAD

Eddie was much better than Zara

They did say last week, I think it was, that Eddie was dancing, but not the steps or some such. He seems lovely and had more musicality then Zara.

Wrong decision.

Eddie needs to go have afternoon tea with Jamelia.

Neil is like the Strictly version of Elf on the shelf.

First decision this year that I've found unfair. Eddie at least has a bit of verve and personality in his dancing. It was like Graziano was shifting a mannequin around a shop window. It must be gutting to miss out on the £15 000 pay bump for getting to Hallowe'en Week, too.

I wouldn't have saved Zara. Both were lacking in technique but his was entertaining and hers wasn't.

Totally agree, I don't dislike Zara but she is rather wooden whereas Eddie has some spark...

I really wasn't that fussed for Eddie. He only really had one style of dancing.

personally I thought they were equally bad. Neither of them "danced" this week. I thought Eddie was awful and Zara was stiff. Neither were ever going to get much further though so the order they leave in doesn't matter much.

I love Neil spotting. Always have always will @januaryjan

i don’t dislike him or red haired people at all. In fact he moved me to tears one Remembrance dance in his uniform.

Not sure this is the best final dance song for Karen?

Poor Karen. Not a tactful song choice.

I missed it what was the final dance song?

Zara’s coming from a standing start, takes comments on board, and works incredibly hard to improve week on week. Eddie has great musicality and hips but has just resolutely failed to engage with any of the required dance idioms. For Craig to vote for Zara shows I think how really frustrated he was by Eddie’s lack of technique.

How did Eddie get a 10 a couple of weeks ago from Shirley and has now been voted out? Just proves judges scoring is all over the place

Awful song choice for Karen. What a shame.
