Loving "contempowaft" Oti had definitely got the gleam of the glitterball in her eyes last night. Still, nice to see a pro who is not yet island bound! Wonder how Brendan will be after a studio day hearing Boom bang a bang played by Dave Arch and the gang and then there is poor Pasha. I have the feeling his Charleston face will be the most haunted we have seen and it isn't even Halloween!”
Would Danny be able to give good contempowaft, though? I don't know if he has that added level of grace. He's too MT. I think he'd be better with a Jay style car crash which then makes him nervous for the following dance as well, after which he can stage a comeback.
Ricky had the problem of being too good from the start as well, and he never appeared to have an off week so it all looked too easy for him. I don't know anything about off-camera stuff, but he always came across as having very little personality - they were definitely the dull ones. Nat was also pretty unpopular here in her first year due to her not realizing that the British public aren't keen on overt 'eye on the prize' attitude (to be honest, I still haven't grown very fond of her - sorry! I know loads of you adore her.)
Oti might be really competitive this year, but she established a fan base during her brief run last year, so she hasn't just appeared on the scene going "I wanna win!" She also hasn't made Nat's mistake of coming right out and saying it.
Better than "I'm not trying to be funny, but... " is "I don't mean to be rude, but..." Any sentence starting there should end there.
I'm unappreciating that I don't even dare visit the MF anymore because I don't want to read any of what is written out there to kill my happy Strictly mood - so please people, don't report back!
