I don't usually go in for AT's but thought I would start this one as I can't quite believe that Danny & Oti don't already have one.

I am backing this couple because I think they may be one of this year's most explosive (in a good way) pairings. I feel that, even in this (potentially) very competitive year, Danny is high on the "ones to watch" list, whilst Oti is my fave female pro. What's not to like?

So, let's gather together and get behind "Team Doti"!

Definitely the best couple over the two days - robbed of the top spot!

Be good to see how they do at the ballroom; but good to see Oti doing well

Radiotimes interview with both of them https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=4suqw2zCEfI. Despite what people are saying he has a personality, he's just seems chilled.

I thought Danny and Oti did a great job yesterday. A good balance between content and performance, and technically it looked good.

I can't believe that there have been only seven messages in this thread after Danny's incredible performance on Saturday. But then I can't believe that he didn't top the leader board either.

I didn't think that any dance would ever have the effect on me that Jay and Aliona's jive did last year, but Danny's cha chat certainly did it for me. I can't wait to see him get even better over the next few weeks.

Hi Walter Neff,

Thanks heaps for your support. Never forget though that its not about the quantity but the quality... and whether we have 7 or 70 posts here, Danny & Oti bought quality to the show in spades.

He may not be the biggest name and being in Hollyoaks probably had several turning their noses up at someone they've never seen or don't even know.. I refused, however, to be swayed.

As is evident from my OP and various other posts across the thread, I had an instant feeling that Danny would shine. Being paired with Oti (my joint fave female pro along with Natalie) was just the icing on the cake for me and I instantly knew I had found my favourite couple among several great ones this year.

A big welcome to the rest of you too. I believe we could possibly be the winning 'AT thread' this year so keep up the good work and the support.

NB: can't believe edy10 and I actually agree on something - us being a loggerheads over something or another has become somewhat of a tradition!!! Glad to see we can put all of that behind us and link up to cheer home the Winners-To-Be of Strictly 2016!!!

Don't think I've ever posted week 1 in an AT thread before (I used to lurk under a different name, I'm not as new as my number of posts would suggest).
Didn't recognise their VW music from the title but knew it as soon as I heard it, and I ADORE this song. Seem to recall it being used before but can't remember who?
Anyhow, I'm very much looking forward to Saturday, fingers crossed that war drobe are kind

On the contrary, I cannot stand this song but have every hope that Team Doti will come through with flying colours regardless!

Thought they came over really well on ITT.
Oti showed signs of a great SOH + fun last year, and they definitely showed signs of a good working relationship brewing.
Looking forward to the VW, hoping (probably in vain) that CRH marks fairly, Danny isn't the loudest personality but as an actor I'm praying he portrays enough emotion through his face when dancing, to keep the resident ' Panto dame' from moaning
Go team Doti 😘

These two will go far. Last week was one of the best week one dances ever. They seem to have a great rapport & judging by the training footage their VW is going to be fab & and intense story. Good luck to them. Oti made a good impression last year with a partner with physical limitations, so glad she has a contender in Danny.

Danny and Oti are definitely one of my favourites. What a fabulous mover. I'm hoping he's as good in ballroom. Delighted for Oti.

Let me, as "Administrator" warmly welcome you to our AT supporting "Team Doti"!

Danny & Oti were amazing once again last night. Fabulous routine with great storytelling, and a very well-executed performance. I particularly loved, as Craig called it, the "American Smooth moment" and Oti's yelps of delight when Len said he loved "...the modern twist...".

Their partnership is growing in strength with each week and long ma it continue!

Great combination these two, my hope we get more great dances from her, and he remembers it ain't just a job of work, he has to sell the dance and himself also please ( sorry to say it ain't always about the dancing )
