Oti with her smile should could tempt men into hell, it is so warm and welcoming no wonder he follows her about so would I , The trouble I have now as a supporter / fan of these 2 I'm scared they have reached so high ,so early ,I get more scared each week , still each dance must be judged on it's own merits

It isn't realistic to expect such high standards on all styles still to come.
I, for one, am ready for what's likely to be a roller coaster ride, with huge highs and some dips. Having said that, I don't expect major lows, *touches wood *fingers crossed

We have Quickstep to 'I won't dance' by Frank Sinatra to look forward to.
Thoughts?

I don't think so. Danny is obviously a quick learner but still has a way to go to be perfect. The Rumba will be interesting as it does not suit many male celebs and can be the one dance to cause problems but that should make full use of his acting skills.

It always reminds me of Alesha Dixon when a celeb is really good from the start, as she was from week one right through to the final but the judges just kept pushing for more difficult routines from her but didn't ask it of her fellow celebs.

Danny will be fine. He does not come across as flashy or showy or big headed, well to me he doesn't otherwise I would not be supporting him. I just see a great partnership which can only get better as he & Oti are really enjoying it.

Personally feel this is a brilliant song choice and dance for him and one which should be a crowd pleaser. Also because it more fun and upbeat it will show another side of Danny .

I am really looking forward to his dance this weekend,

Agree with you Danny should be fine and I will look forward too every dance him and Oti. I don't think he comes across as flashy, big headed or showy either. He just seems to be focused on doing a great dance. He and Oti are a great partnership and will look forward to seeing many more good dances between the both of them,

Thanks for the radio link Fairytootoo............i'm thinking this is a great song for them. It doesn't seem very fast to me, which I think could be better for correct technique, etc. It can go out the window a bit if it's really fast. I'm dying to see what choreography Oti comes up with.

I thought they were super tonight. Loved everything about it: theme, dress, music, styling, choreography and delivery! One of my favourite Strictly dances.

Really no need for Lens comment, totally uncalled for!

Rather hoping any bias against team Doti/towards any others, will help round up support for this lovely, talented partnership

I loved the Quickstep, a proper old school dance and Danny looked fabulous in tails.

just popping in to say how much I agree with these posts, I'd never heard of Danny before Strictly, he's a good looking man who looked so elegant in tails tonight .... I've liked all of Danny's dances so far and always look forward to seeing this couple, I hope he goes far in the competition

Completely agree with you. I'd never heard of Danny before SCD but I'm loving his partnership with Oti and also hope he goes far in the competition.
