That American Smooth is the most beautiful dance I have ever seen on Strictly.

Interestingly on Twitter James Jordan has scored Danny a 10 for both dances and said Ore was overmarked. Danny got a 36 for a much better quickstep and Ore got 38 for a good but not as good Quickstep.

Ugh Darcey, what the hell is wrong with her. She seems to pick & choose when to be picky, anyway I loved his AS & the Salsa was also good.
Oti's choreography for the AS was amazing, it's probably one of my favourite dances of theres

It'll be a shame not to see some of their incredible dances again! Only two picks should they make the final

That American Smooth was one of the best I've seen on Strictly. Utterly dreamy.

I feel the same...I was looking it forward to it so much I was afraid it couldn't be as good as I hoped. But it was and better. Soooooo beautiful.

For once I agree with James the scoring tonight was all over the place, Darcey has one favourite it was pretty clear from the marking, serious case of overmarking tonight for one couple

I was a bit disappointed in the Salsa considering how he relatively mastered the Cha Cha Cha and Samba - was hoping he'd manage to nail the hip movement better than that. Loved the performance and 'armography' though.

As for that American Smooth... just wow. It's challenging Doti's Quickstep for my favourite Ballroom routine of the series - maybe it just betters it as it just oozed class and was all about the emotion and technique rather than the show. Absolutely breathtaking.

That lift/catch as well... What an ending!

Serious over marking and under marking tonight. Not fair of the judges to do that at this stage.


I'm looking forward to watching the Salsa back, I enjoyed it but I was so nervous that I'll probably enjoy it more the second time around.

It was good to hear the pros chanting that Danny was undermarked for both dances. The audience's reaction for the AS was amazing.

I've voted lots for anyone who couldn't vote and also because of the bizarre scoring by the judges tonight.

Watched slightly behind, tho I made sure to vote (once the website allowed of course).
Was prepared with a 4th BBC account tonight, 12 each on the phone and iPad, so 24 votes in total, plenty to share with those who are unable to

Oh my, the AS didn't disappoint did it? Was so looking forward to it, will be watching that again, over and over.

No wonder #InOtiWeTrust!
And I think Oti would agree with #InDannyWeBelieve, she believed he'd catch her, and he did!

I didn't love their salsa but that American Smooth...oh my goodness. What a stunning dance. Everything about it was perfect and the sheer trust required for that leap captures why they're such a fantastic partnership. I noticed that Carley was in tears after that AS and understandably so. The trust, connection and joy that is Danny and Oti was obvious in every second of that dance.

I'd have had a bottle tonight but I have to be a taxi service for my son later. Maybe after that I will...when I can rewatch in peace (maybe a few times)

Bet the dog smells lovely!

I wanted to spread some votes to Claudia tonight but am too worried so didn't. I felt sorry for her tonight though...I want them both to make it.

Danny was incredible tonight. I wasn't a fan, found him arrogant and 'too good a dancer', but his dances tonight blew me away. I'm warming to him. I'm very worried for him tonight and I hope he avoids the dance off. If he should make the final I think Claudia will be his biggest threat.
