Oti has retweeted a Gogglebox clip and there is a repeat of the episode on Channel 4 tomorrow night at 10.00pm.

Looking forward to tonight and just hope they don't end up middle of the leader board, but it's one fast Tango they are dancing! I'll be casting my 12 online votes and possibly some phone votes tonight if they don't finish at least 2nd on the leader board!

#InOtiWeTrust #InDannyWeBelieve
I am ready to be wowed by their tango, no matter what the judges think. However I also have wine at the ready to combat the stress of a possible middle of the leaderboard position. I've only voted by phone once, in Halloween week, but I will happily do it again if needs be.

#InOtiWeTrust #InDannyWeBelieve

ETA: Congrats on 1000 posts, guys!

I'll record Gogglebox tonight, thanks for letting us know. 😊

Sending positive thoughts to Doti for tonight. I think they'll wow us again. 🙏

Limbering up my fingers ready to vote as needs be this evening on that note, if anyone's able to stick the mobile number in here when it comes up later that'd be much appreciated, as I'll be out & sneakily trying to watch clips here and there!

Fingers crossed they don't get the "frantic" criticism it looks like they're being set up for & they blow the judges & viewers away.

Can I just say how glad I am to have this thread? Danny gets a lot of criticism on the main forum and it's lovely to have somewhere to come and just be excited about him and Oti, and also somewhere where people share my excitement and nerves every week.

I'm right with you there.......................but you know, apart from us lot, there are quite a few other fans of Danny and Oti on the forum. They just don't post here.

Every year I say I won't get too invested in someone, and every year I do!!!!! Can't help myself.......!!...............it's a bit of an obsessive disease!

My one grumble before the show starts is I see Ore's got the dapper look I was hoping Danny would get this week with an AS

Right that's done, back to positive thinking

I haven't watched a full series of Strictly in about six years so I definitely wasn't expecting to end up rooting for a couple as much as I do Danny and Oti.

On the voting front, I teach 9-11 year olds and a lot of my girls are big Danny and Oti fans. They all vote for him each week, as do their parents, so I'll definitely be counting on their votes if he needs them tonight!

Loved it. Especially Danny's jacket, very sparkly!

That's all my votes cast so fingers crossed people don't assume they are safe being top of the leader board!

#InOtiWeTrust #InDannyWeBelieve and they didn't let us down.

Robin Windsor has just tweeted Danny & Oti "YES to that Tango - brilliant."

I've voted quite a few times because I feel like this could be a shocking week.

I didn't love the song choice - hated it actually - but I thought Oti did a great job when facing such a massive challenge. It wasn't my favourite dance of theirs but it was the best of the night for me. Always trust in Oti and believe in Danny.

I love Danny, he's one of my favourites. Personally I wasn't a fan of that routine, I didn't think the song suited the dance. As always he danced it well but it didn't leave me amazed like his previous dances. I hope he gets through to the semis, I hope my post did not upset anyone.

I totally agree. The song didn't work at all for me and practically ruined the routine, which is a real shame after such a fab song choice and dance last week.

Hopefully they make it through and get great song choices for the Waltz/AS and Salsa next week.

*waves to all ..... Late on parade, a little matter of the local derby match came 1st, we beat Saints, go Tigers, in case you're interested

On to tonight ..... Doti were still the main event, despite the hideous music. How Oti managed to create anything resembling a Tango to THAT is beyond me #InOtiWeTrust is well founded!

You'll be relieved to know SCD started just as we got into the car, so I followed it downstairs, and got home just as voting opened. Gave our pair all 18 of our votes (so extras for those unable to vote) 👍

We were right to say #InDannyWeTrust ..... he did what he was asked to do really well, all things considered.

I'm most disappointed that they haven't been able to do either Tango 'properly' as usually they're my favourite 2 styles. And let's face it, if they'd had even remotely appropriate music for either, they'd have produced more dances worthy of joining the already long list of dances good enough for the SCD archive!

Strangely enough, although Danny & Oti finished top of the leaderboard, felt underwhelmed with the whole show. Haven't had a chance to rewatch, (hubby watching the rugby!!!!!) but not one of my favourite weeks. I need to watch again..........................Like others, I felt disappointed with the song choice and I normally love a tango, but this left me a bit deflated. I think they did a great job considering, but.............................
