One more of the gutted signing on to say 'bye Sam, well done, you're lovely, thanks for being fab'
I suppose it was inevitable - after Sam had been in one skate-off we could be sure his popular support wasn't all that and being in the bottom half of the leaderboard against Chemmy the super-survivor, and the mighty Corrie vote, was only ever going to mean one outcome.
On the plus side, I really loved that routine and I don't know how much better marks Sam actually could have got without doing bigger lifts to gain technical difficulty, so it's nice he went out on a high.
This does make me worry just slightly that there'll be a scenario where Andy's Corrie vote carries him into the final at the expense of at least one far better skater. But it's never, ever happened before (see Coleen, Johnson etc), so why would it happen this time around? *crosses fingers*
