I want Danny and Oti to win. Mainly because I fear for Danny's life if Oti doesn't lift that glitterball.

Oh yes they are. Mine would always ask, 'do we know his people' whenever there was a suggestion I might be seeing 'a nice boy'.

I turned down one of her suggestions, for which I was never forgiven. He bored me senseless, despite being 6ft tall and blonde.

She may have been right. He is now a multi millionaire and one of the richest men in Ireland.

However, he is also now very fat and I bet he can't dance.

Does Derek possess all those traits???

It really would be insufferable.

I'd love that. They'd be in stitches the whole time. But he'd never do it.

Too true. Danny will be on starting blocks when Toss is announcing the final results.. probably complete with crash helmet to fend off any side swipes Oti might inflict if her glitterball goes MIA..

I really love that we have 3 of the flintiest eyed pro's left - and they are being forced into the la,la,la, all friends together ... Want to win? Me? Nooooo just as long as we do our best storylining - while juggling a bag of marbles and wondering how they can be released to effect an unfortunate incident without suspicion.

Sounds like you dodged the proverbial bullet.

My mother's favourite question has always been, "What are his prospects?", closely followed by ,"What do his parents do?"..... That way if he isn't a cash cow, maybe he'll inherit... The idea that women of my generation quite frequently earn more than their partners is complete anathema....

My mother - who is a holy terror - alienated so many of our relatives we rarely get invited, but the remainder are horribly fertile and are forever giving birth and then having massive Christening parties.


This is very true. My father's lasted for 3 whole days, and apparently the Art's Club in Fitzwilliam almost ran dry. We are very good at celebrating a life as well as saying goodbye

So true He dreams of being Derek. Not happening schmuck!

I am not a wild Derek fan, but he is the only pro who ever choreographed and danced a DWTS AT with a sleb which had any AT steps in it. Bit escenario (stage) for me, but what the hell.

Forever Greyson, boring old fart.

I'm sending Oti some packs of lard..

Can we send her a wind machine too.

He frequently is, and so is some of his choreo,.

But ...

he has his moments of 'clever, even if it' a bit obvious' though as in this sequence (with the divine Artem NOTE)

Yes, it is gloriously camp and OTT - and almost gratuitously sexy but, what the heck!

Danny and Oti together look really tall, Natalie Lowe tall, but he's really quite slight.
I couldn't see how a jacket that fitted over Artem's bulging muscles could possibly fit Danny without drowning him and making him look like a 5 year old at his first day at provate prep school wearing a blazer that he could "grow in to..."

There is that too and I have become quite fond of him.

Oti has sisters too I fear there would be no where safe in the world for him,

If her parents are alive he may as well get on the next ship to Mars because every continent will be unsafe.

I'd be OK with Louise winning the final but only if TTF came down with flu tomorrow and she had to dance with Gorka instead

(Who am I kidding? I still want Doti to win )

I'm not Derek's biggest fan either but he does actually have talent - that much is obvious. I knew he was really good when he managed to win with Amber Riley, who was seen as a duffer, let's be honest.

I imagine it still needed some tailoring work but less than a brand new fitted jacket. Interestingly, Artem and Danny are the same height, so I imagine it didn't need too much work.

Danny would do well to have a full set of body armour concealed somewhere handy, just in case the unthinkable should happen. I'm sure Oti is more than capable of defending her glitterball against any attempts the Cliftons might make to steal it from her

I haven't watched much DWTS and realise that I know something less than nothing about AT, but I liked Derek and Nicole Scherzinger's AT as a dance. Not sure if it qualifies as an actual AT

Instead they just made him look like a 1970's quiz show host.

That BBC christmas advert song is so twee that I expect a Clifton to choreograph a dance to it.

Evening all - wine is open.

Evening all!

The scene from Miss Congeniality would look positively tame by comparison...
