I have cautiously high hopes for their jive this Saturday; the fact that Danny's enjoying training so much plus the fact that he said the dance was "cool". I've had enough of cutesy or camp jives for now, and I certainly don't want to see Long Tall Sally used as it was on DWTS. Oti seems far too cool herself to go down that route

If anyone follows Oti on Instagram, her Instagram story is currently a series of hilarious videos of her and Danny backstage at ITT, mainly featuring him (with a cameo from Ian) trying to work out how you sit on a chair. Their partnership is just brilliant and it's clear how much they genuinely like each other and get along.
Sorry to be a dimwit but do you have to 'follow' Oti to see the vids? I've looked on her instagram page https://www.instagram.com/otimabuse/?hl=en and I can't see any vids featuring Ian or a chair Or am I looking in the wrong place?

Very good interview on ITT Danny & Oti are a great partnership and have to say they are fast becoming one of my all time favourite couple just love the both of them together.
The jive is looking really good, is the dance that's going to top of leader board by themselves I really hope so as its been long overdue. And he seems to be training hard this week as he has done 22 hours in the last couple of days |

Hello *waves*
Sorry to be a dimwit but do you have to 'follow' Oti to see the vids? I've looked on her instagram page https://www.instagram.com/otimabuse/?hl=en and I can't see any vids featuring Ian or a chair Or am I looking in the wrong place? If you do, when you open the Instagram app, you'll see a little circle at the top with Oti's face in. When you click on that, the videos from yesterday will automatically play. It's a bit like Snapchat in that they disappear after 24 hours. I'm hoping we'll be towards the end of the running order on Saturday. I always feel like big party dances have more impact when the audience is already warmed up/the judges have scored a few dances already. |

Really enjoying Danny and Oti's partnership. Also like that Danny realises it's not the end of the world when something goes wrong. Love his attitude.

Just popping in to say that I absolutely love Danny and Oti's partnership this year. They've been my favourite couple since Week 1 and are quickly becoming my favourite partnership ever on the show. I love that they just get on with things and respect each other and it's clear they work really hard every week despite what people might think.
Really looking forward to their jive and hope it goes well for them. |

Hi! Yeah you have to follow her

I always feel like big party dances have more impact when the audience is already warmed up/the judges have scored a few dances already. It's a shame they disappear I'm a bit nervous about Saturday. They're doing a lot of hours of training. Don't want them to peak too early! |

Oti's certainly making sure of that....................Jive looking great.
I love that she's taking advantage of having a capable celeb and pushing him, it would be so easy for her to coast (Len ? said Louise was too safe, Oti's not taken that route for sure Lovely to see some more support for Danny & Oti on this thread. ![]() Quote:

I'm looking forward to them enjoying themselves, when Danny was enthused by the QS, (as he seems to be by the jive), it really came over in the performance

I'm loving watching the thread slowly grow
I'm looking forward to them enjoying themselves, when Danny was enthused by the QS, (as he seems to be by the jive), it really came over in the performance I have a cha cha/QS feel about it. The sheer joy!!! Jiving three times today, I hope he saves his energy for the last one!!Very excited for tonight, but unfortunately won't be able to watch it live........... ![]() ![]() Out this evening.

I'm definitely getting QS flashbacks this week! He looked so excited about the dance in the training clip they showed on ITT yesterday, and he's already tweeted about his and Oti's jive legs this morning. I'm excited to see his love for this routine shining through tonight.

After putting in so many hours (22 in just two days
) Danny and Oti ought to smash their jive tonight. I reckon they'll open the show too, their song is ideal to kick things off. After the foxtrot flop as Danny calls it the jive is a perfect opportunity for a return to top form. Difficult to predict who will top the leader board especially if a number of couples bring their A game.

I am delighted to see that Danny is gradually getting more favourable comments in the main room, and those boring "ringah" accusations seem to have faded.
Can't wait for this evening, I think that their jive is going to be sensational

They are both looking AWESOME tonight - let's hope they are top of the leaderboard (and I hope everyone has a great show, which means that being top is even more of an achievement)

BIB Sadly I can see them opening too, and the highest scores rarely come for the opening routine, regardless of its quality. (The fudges need to save themselves in case there's better later don't you know)?
Actually, while the ringah comments are fading, the 'boring' comments seem to be on the increase again. I'm beginning to feel like last year, where the only safe spaces are here, the NAT, and the spoiler thread. ![]() |
