Has anyone else noticed , that the Samba put up by Linda Kent is hard to find well i have not been able to find it today ! I wonder if it has been removed ?

always a better version with the judges comments

I've just checked and it says "This video contains content from Channel 4 who has blocked it in your country on copyright grounds." It's not even the BBC that have taken it down. How strange.

Their salsa looks better in that training clip. I've only loved one salsa on Strictly - Ramps's which is now a decade old - so it's about time someone else's impresses me!

Afternoon everyone.............so excited for tonight (and nervous). Both routines, from what I can see, look brilliant.............if Danny can keep the choreography in his head, and his nerves in tact, they should be amazing. I really want this to go well for them.........not too fussed about scores but would love everything to go to plan and for them both to really enjoy these two dances.

I really want them to reach the final.............the anticipation of the showdance!!!!!!!!!

I agree with everyone about Oti's message on facebook. What a lovely way she has of expressing her feelings on the "journey" she is having. Straight from the heart!!!

My thoughts was the bbc want a push on their samba as the Kent 1 was up to 150000 also and the bbc samba at 580000? that is the reason so far only 1 Linda Kent vid down

I assumed that was what it was but it's not the BBC who have asked for it to be removed. It's Channel 4 who raised the copyright issue.

ETA Jonathan Platero has choreographed their Salsa (as well as Ore's AT). I haven't been wowed by the Salsas he's produced so far this series but I did love their AT and I have faith that Danny and Oti can sell pretty much anything.

Hi all!

Never posted on an appreciation thread before but since Danny and Oti have been my favourite partnership in ages I thought why not.

Just caught up with tonight's ITT and FINALLY the guests actually took interest in Danny. Ellie Simmonds saying she'd like him to win and Jason and the other lady paying him compliments too.

Can't wait for the AS on Saturday - it's looking lovely from what we've seen from training. Hoping the Salsa goes just as well as his Samba (though that may be a tall order!)
Lovely post. 🙂

Ellie's fab and she's got very good taste!!
Ellie has the best taste. Nice to finally hear one of the celebs in team Doti's corner.

I have to agree, but can't believe that Gabby praised Danny to the hilt then picked Louise to win!!!

I do hope we are not going to have another 40 scoring Samba. Louise has got to really pull something out of the bag to get that score. If she does and her's is not as intense as Danny's was I will think there is some funny business going on!

The Salsa is so fast and really working Danny to the max. He will be shattered after that and all the lifts.

I agree, it was nice to hear the positive comments but most of the celeb panels seem to be in Louise and Kevin's corner.

On Strictly's Instagram page it doesn't include or have as many Doti training clip posts. Not sure why? Doti have a lot of views on YouTube and Facebook.

I really hope they have the support they deserve.

I think Louise will score highly for her Tango but I'm hoping that the Samba isn't overhyped.

On Thursday I was browsing the channels and found the Ellen Generes show. They do a bit where the audience sing a popular song and this week it was Cake By the Ocean! People sing what they thing it is and there were some hilarious versions. It cheered me up as I wasn't feeling well.
Hope you feel better Gill.

*Appreciates Danny & Oti*

*Appreciates Oti's outstanding choreography*

*Appreciates Danny's beautiful face*

*Appreciates the hard work they both put in.*

*Appreciates Oti's fabulously long limbs*

*Appreciates they joy they show when they dance together*

Boy, am I going to miss them dancing when this show is finished. Danny & Oti to win!
Great post! 🙂

I have recorded all the footage and will have a look to see if I can extract the samba including the beginning which the BBC have left off and the judges' comments and marks. I will then put it in Dropbox for you. Please bear with me as I won't be able to do this for a while.

I cannot see Craig being overwhelmed by Twimsy's samba!

It's nice to see Danny smiling in this training clip so hopefully that means he was learning it quickly. It looked very good, and very fast!

Lovely post and I agree. I usually record and start watching on catch-up so may have to watch D&O on FF first just to make sure everything is ok which I'm sure it will be, then go back and watch in 'real' time!!

God, I think I'm a techie dinosaur.................would not have a clue how to do that!!!!!!

Even with everyone doing two dances, it has the potential to be a brilliant show. Everyone looks really good!!!! eek....

To you all......... So sorry I can't vote, Dublin and all that lot.......please throw my name on one of your votes

Sending major Good luck vibes to Danny and Oti tonight.....

I feel better after watching the salsa training. It's ridiculous how nervous this programme makes me. It's a lot easier to watch when I don't have a favourite.

Wishing team Doti lots of luck.

Danny said in one of the training clips that the salsa routine was great so it sounds like Mr Platero brought his A game. There's no better way to showcase yourself as a choreographer on the biggest show on British TV than by producing a knockout routine for D&O.

Looking forward to both dances but the AS could be something special if everything comes together. It's really difficult to call who'll make the final, everyone is so so good. Sending good luck to D&O for tonight.

I've been chanting #InOtiWeTrust #InDannyWeBelidve in my head all day,
I'm surprisingly calm considering what's to come tonight.
Excited, of course, apprehensive, not yet, ask me again when they're about to take the floor

Trust me, the head chanting wasn't a conscious thing, just realize it's there every so often!
No fool like an old fool?
(I wasn't Team GG, sorry)
