Some pros take the public to be idiots, there were no hips, no Rumba.

I dont like him. He always seems pompous to me but perhaps I'm missing something because he does seem quite popular.

He does, lol, but maybe he should let Natalie talk. She has done this for years and is better at spin doctoring a bad dance than any politician
She is playing up the sob story element because she knows it will win him votes on Saturday if he messes that dance up.

I feel like quite a few dances have been talked up this week - Danny's jive, Ore's salsa, Louise's AT, Greg and Daisy back doing ballroom, Rinder finally dancing without any comedy. It's either going to be a brilliant Saturday or some people are going to crumble.

Bit of both I think. 'Citin'.

To be honest some of the slow dances can be hard on the feet too - rumba and at are all about the feet - that training vid could be deceptive and it may be better than the editors allowed us to see

That will be good, if all them crumble, Laura and Claudia can top like last weekend.
One can only hope.

Thanks, just worried that she might not be able to do the fast Samba twice, if needed..

I dont know if she's still marking that dance or tptb are purposely showing us " bad bits " of training, but Laura still doesn't look good.”

Me too, as much as I still like Greg and Nat I have found my eye's rolling at quite a few comment's this week.
Danny and Oti are brilliant together, no mollycoddling there for sure
they get on with it and have fun.I love Richard Osman looking forward to tomorrow's show.

I think it's Nat that's lost the confidence. I don't think she is so much trying to reasssure Greg as herself.
Liked both interviews very much. Personally I thought Greg and Danny took their different dramas on Saturday in a very good spirit. And I always like seeing the dresses.
I think people are being very picky with Natalie this week but I think she's doing a great job.
Most of the training looked early or just walked through.

I like Dannys attitude
" in the grand scheme of things a messed up dance is not that bad "
" there are people out there working far harder than learning to jive "

Or she knows that she will never get a better chance.

Was just thinking the same, maybe she is planning on leaving.
I do like Danny. Never heard of him before, but think the partnership with Oti is great and he is down to earth and clearly loving it. Ironically, the mess up probably did him a favour - not a ringer or a professional - someone with some experience and talent, but who is still learning.

Probably phased it out because the celebs didn't want to be seen as bunking off training, LOL. But 22 hours in two days ... wow, he will be knackered. I remember Claudia saying on ITT early this week she only did one hour on Monday, but then she is now training again for her gymnastics.

At least he is a real fan of the show, tweets as he is watching every Saturday, so won't be there to promote a book/song/panto.

You could be right. Comparing her this year to the robust, good-humoured Natalie we saw with Ainsley or Vaughny, there's something different in the air. There was a note almost of pleading in her voice that I don't think I've heard from her in past years (?)... And has she ever continued to react against a judge's comments?
Dunno. My mental picture of Natalie is of someone utterly hale and cheery.
I'll shurrup tho before I can stray into 'expert' behavioural analysis, or something like that

Nice to see someone with their foot firmly on the reality floor, I wonder if that attitude wins fans over or loses them ?

I'm coming round to him and it's this realism that what he's doing is a joy in the grand scheme of things. I liked too his response to Craig saying their routine might have merited a 10 had they/he got it right; Danny said it was nice to hear because even though they did not achieve it, they were in the right direction. I might end up rooting for him and Oti before he series ends. Looking forward to the jive.

I expect he can be at least 2 points better than Ore. It will be interesting to see his score.
I think Oti is doing this just right - pushing Danny and just getting on with doing the best job she can. Danny is coming across as genuine. OK he started off well ahead, but he is working hard, and the judges are doing their best to avoid letting it show in their scores.
They might win.
