#8th – Livia
Previous performance: 10th
1st Round: 36 points || 2nd Round: 76 points || Total: 112 points.
It’s the first time she hasn’t finished on a multiple of 5, though she a long time she was a dead cert for 5th place, so perhaps this goes against what nature intended. Livia earned votes because “I love how she's never afraid to say what's on her mind, she takes no s**t but she's also a sweetheart,” and because “I wouldn’t say she’s my favourite Jew bastard, because I could never have one of those; she’s just the least objectionable Jew bastard I can think of presently.” You’ll never guess who came up with that one. Honestly Jake, I thought you were better than that, anti-Semitism does not look good on you. One member said “Livia and I got off to a rocky start when I first joined, but I think we have a mutual respect for each other now. She never shies away from giving her opinion and I agree with her on a lot of issues. I love a strong independent woman!” One voter called her “the most intelligent member of TiBB (officially) and the lady with the longest ignore list (unofficially) although I think it’s a lot shorter than it used to be. Her wit is as sharp as a razor; she is the goddess with the greatest gift of words. To liken her to great ladies of the movies, she is Uma, she is Mia, she is Lara, she is Princess Leia, she is Ellen Ripley kicking those aliens’ asses, she’s the baby you would never try to put in the corner because she’s much too fabulous. On the forum she is all these things and a great and valuable member but to me she’s just a very lovely lady and a friend.” She picked up points “for having correct opinions frequently” and “her replies often make me laugh or really think” as well as being “ferocity embodied, an endlessly fierce bitch who should make everyone bow before her.” One voter gave her points because “I've always admired Livia for being an interesting, witty and fabulous person from afar. In recent times however, we've shared a mutual love for vampire fiction and now I like to think I can call her a friend. Absolutely fascinating and I think we would have lots to talk about if we were ever to meet. Big love!” while another said they “used to be very fearful of Livia (and to be honest, I still am a little bit) She's possibly one of the most interesting, articulate and intelligent people to grace a forum about one of the tackiest shows on television. She's also said some very lovely things to me that have made me change perspective of myself a little bit and I really do appreciate it. She's gonna get a load of votes (deservedly so) but I'm still going to vote for her anyway, because she deserves it.” One voter said “what can I say about the amazing Livia, I adore her. She is just so very special on here. Incredible person,” while another said “I sort of wish she’d post more often in the chat threads because I sometimes worry she feels an outsider on the forum, but maybe it’d ruin her allure... she’s an incredibly sharp and witty madam and I look up to her. Also her work life sounds fascinating and mysterious. Maybe she’s a spy. I hope so. I could hire her to take people out. Watch out, Charlie! x” She could well be a spy and she probably already knows the result of this because she has access to my laptop, in which case: Livia, why does my laptop keep overheating? Should I get a new computer mouse? Do I look nice today? What’s for dinner? A well deserved top ten placing.
