I agree. They're such a joy to watch together and it's so clear how much they love and adore each other. I especially loved when she almost cried talking about just how good Danny is, and how he doesn't realise that.

I'm always confused by people who don't see a connection between them because they just shine together. I was watching an early interview with them and they said they'd expected Danny to be paired with Oksana or Janette. Imagine if we'd been deprived of this brilliance.

I have a lot more faith in the tango now. Danny saying Oti has her own vision for it and that he thinks "it works brilliantly" gives me a lot of hope. He trusts in Oti, we trust in Oti, and her choreography always impresses me (and the judges).

Also, the samba has now broken 400K views!

Exactly. They're each other's cheerleaders and you can see it drives both of them to give the other their absolute best. I always feel like they're not dancing for scores or to win but instead they just want to please their partner by giving it their all. I don't think it's a coincidence their dances moved to a higher level after the foxtrot when it all went wrong and each felt a little like they'd let the other down.

That's just the one video. There is a longer version too with judges comments.

I cant imagine Danny being partnered with anyone else. That's brilliant that the samba has broken 400k!

Agreed. They're just a great, great partnership and bounce off each other really well.

And those hours they're putting in Should not be downplayed just because he started as the best dancer.

They were so adorable, the best pairing this year and possibly the best ever on SCD?

The hours they are putting in is real commitment to the show and if that does not pay off in the end I'll not be very happy!

Yayyyyy

So pleased to hear Oti has her own vision, and that it was a fab interview. Excited to watch ITT later now.

This! Danny was a great dancer in week one, ahead of the pack straight away, but he never could have produced that samba - technically or performance wise - back then. He works very hard to learn every dance and he has had a 'journey' over the series in terms of his confidence and skill. But that wouldn't fit with the screams of "ringiest ringer ever" would it?

Danny being good so early on is why I never got mad about him not getting 10s for his QS. I remember being pleased at the time because TPTB seemed to pushing Ore and undermarking Danny and it seemed like that would benefit Danny. He was so good in week one and, if he'd been praised to high heaven early on, I think he'd be in the situation Ore is now in. Instead he's been able to work hard, develop into an even better dancer and most people feel like his high scores now are deserved.

What a lovely interview! Danny and Oti are the perfect partnership. It was just lovely to see them speak about one another with such admiration. The Tango looks fab-u-lous. 😊

Exactly. You don't pull off one of the most memorable dances on Strictly just by being a ringer

And where he's really stood out to me from some other ringers we've seen is the sheer enjoyment in the dancing - each he's performed has had real personality to it, in my opinion. It makes me want to dance or at least watch it again straight away afterwards

Much helped by Oti's great work of course and innovative choreo.

It's such a joy to watch Danny dance because his enthusiasm shines through (especially in the QS, jive and samba). He's making the most of this experience and having an absolute blast through it all. I find that, along with Oti's choreography and personality, brilliant to watch.

Ok, I FF ITT to get to the interview

then smiled all the way through it! They're so adorable talking to/about each other, such a joy to listen to, as well as to watch. And Danny really did sound positive about Oti's 'vision'.

Danny certainly made the right choice doing SCD this year and not in a previous year when he was asked. I wonder if Ashley Taylor-Dawson's experience played a big part as he was filming in the day and training at night to fit everything in. It does require 100% commitment and if Danny was not able to do that I think he would be very frustrated with the whole experience.

A lovely, lovely interview this evening. They certainly have a lot of mutual respect for each other. They both work very hard, willingly, and not only is Danny enjoying this whole experience (mainly due to Oti's wonderful choreography) but you can tell how much this means to Oti now.

We all know she never gave him too much praise early on, (bit of a standing joke between them) but I think she is genuinely grateful to him for the amount of work he puts in, the commitment he shows and the passion he gives each dance, not to mention the talent he has. It was so lovely of her to say that he doesn't realise how good he is!!!

Tango looks fast...........gulp............ but Danny has fast feet and he seems to be loving this...........hoping for a knockout tango. I'm not fussed for 10s, but would love this to go well.

Looking forward to tomorrow's IT2....................double the fun. (Would have liked a glimpse of Oti's dress this eve...................)

I loved the segment with Oti and her sister, both are beautiful.

Oti is a ray of sunshine, I'm so happy we get to see her wonderful choreography and what a great teacher she is. You can tell there is a lot of respect between Danny & Oti and they get on.
