.......performed Claudia's routine, she'd have scored 10s all round.

Probably at the least got a 10 from either Darcey or Len.

Louise isn't a gymnast so pointless. However, she is a better dancer.

Claudia's dance was filled with gymnastics, Louise couldn't have performed it.

I very much doubt it. No one warranted 10s all round. A gymnast doing gymnastics is hardly ground breaking stuff.

I doubt she could have done it in a million years. And as for Kevin...

I doubt anyone else there, celeb or pro could. They are not trained gymnasts.

If Louise had performed Claudia's routine, the only scoring she'd have done would have been in the back of the ambulance with the dishy paramedic who took her to hospital to have her dislocations put back into place.

Anyone who thinks Claudia's salsa was "gymnastics" obviously doesn't know much about the sport. 99% of the salsas on Strictly are lift heavy. Claudia has the ability, given her training, to pull off some of the more spectacular ones, but her gymnastic floor routines don't feature a male dance partner

EXACTLY and she'd still have scored 40 😜

If Louise had performed Claudia's routine, she'd have scored 10s all round.
There, fixed.

As a non-gymnast she would have damn well deserved them too!

I was talking about the grammar in the OP, not about the show being "fixed"!

Damn.

*slinks off*

If Louise had shimmied about a bit it would be 10's.

Louise couldn't have done Claudia's dance ... whereas Claudia could have done Louise's dance with ease

In fact any of the female contestants this year could have made a good show of Louise's barn dance

She wouldn't have had Louise's elegance or grace for the QS part. BUT Claudia did some lovely moves in her Salsa

That dance didn't call for 'elegance' ... remember Doris Day ?

As for the QS part, even Len was drawn to mention the lack of dance content, until he stilled himself

Why is there a redundant "have" in the OP?

if Louise's lacked QS Claudia's def lacked salsa

The QS part did need the better foot work Louise provides and as bendymixer says...

It's a prop. Essential to the characterisation and staging.

People who doesn't know anything about Salsa, they think spectacular lifts is gymnastics... lol
go on youtube and search cali colombia world championship and you would think Claudia's lifts was pretty mild.

Precisely why I rarely post - pedantic people on here are ridiculous. I didn't realise I was being graded on my question. What I was trying to get across is that Louise can smile, wink and do jazz hands and get 10s. Claudia can do a superb job and not get 10s. Simple as that.
