Some exciting choices for them, though am a bit nervous as both Ore and Louise have songs which seem v suited to them too.

And Danny says he's v happy over the judges' pick and excited they get to do it again as a great contrast to the Samba! Hoping that suggests the QS.

Set Fire to the Rain by Adele for their showdance. Louise has a brilliant song.

Show dance to Adele 'Set fire to the rain' ....
Interesting choice!

Snap Hayley lol

He could be happy that he's getting to do and correct the foxtrot but I'm leaning towards the QS. Partly because he looked so happy but also because it's not their favourite dance which we know they absolutely loved. Going to be hoping all week that it's the QS.

It's very exciting.

I love that it was Danny's idea to do the jump.

Ha yes had pretty much the same thought - either Foxtrot or QS, but hoping for the latter definitely. Especially as it was such a favourite of Danny's, though either would provide a great contrast to th Samba. All have the wow factor (well if the Foxtrot's done right!).

Not too worried about their choice, have a feeling the judges are going to lumber them with the foxtrot! Grrrr! Deja vu last year! I have only just watched Saturdays dances that I recorded, have seen them all on you tube, but wasn't sure if I could cope with the fudges comments! Claudia was fab, so sorry she's not in the final, but I have to say Danny & Oti were exquisite in their AS, so beautiful, I shed tears, and I don't cry easily! The salsa was pretty damn good too! Danny & Oti are so wonderful to watch!xx.

They seem pleased with whatever the judges choice is so hopefully it will be the QS, especially as the show dance song isn't fast so it should be a nice balance across the dances. 🙏 Pleased about the Samba.

I wonder what the 'Set Fire To The Rain' dance style will be. 🔥☔️

You listen to celebs on itt you end up with a feeling that Doti are pushing it up hill, well as we know

if anyone can Oti can

romantic

I know what you mean. They seemed to think Danny was the best dancer but I felt like yelling "he's nice too, not just Louise! She also went to Italia Conti and has performed before."

I can see their showdance being like their AS, with lots of contemporary and some lifts. I think it could be beautiful.

All of this weekends dances are sounding great. Each couple have went for their stand out dance and they all have great songs for their showdance.

It could be quite whimsical and romantic like an AS or perhaps they might put a different spin on it.. maybe an AT/Tango.

Yes! Thinking it could be a mixture of all of those. Very excited

Waite's warm-up should definitely be telling tomorrow (I'm assuming he's focusing on the showdance rather than their favourite dance which we've already seen) because that music could work for a lot of different choreography.

I won't mind if they have the foxtrot as Danny could prove that he can do it and Oti's choreography for it was inspired. It was a lot more exciting than most Strictly foxtrots.

Also Danny calling Oti his best friend ❤️

That was really sweet.


I really wanted to see the Cha Cha again but since they are doing the Samba, that won't happen.

I'd love to see the QS as that dance really deserved a 40.

That was really sweet of Danny.

The show dance music could work for different styles. There are Rumba and Tango versions on YouTube. I think I'm leaning towards the Tango/AT style as my preference as I think it will be dramatic against the other show dances.

Listen, we have to except you just can't be nice too and be the best dancer, this just isn't possible!

win or not I have enjoyed their dancing and partnership, what I look for each year in SCD but this pairs dancing throughout has just raised the all round bar

#InOtiWeTrust
#InDannyWeBelieve

and the most versatile, most humble... the list goes on. It's just not possible to be so perfect. 😉

It's funny as Danny surprised me by how lovely he turned out to be! That'll teach me to jump to assumptions without knowing anything about them pre-show

But yes, the over-egging of Louise's niceness is wearing a bit thin - particularly her being so lovely so she must win! As if the other two aren't.

And I was rather bemused by Darren Gough's comment on ITT that she's been on the biggest journey She has seemed pretty much the same throughout - graceful and technically great, but never really letting go and really getting into a dance.

Oh well, will look forward to three more wonderful Doti dances for the last time this week! And will be ready to throw them my votes.

I'm still torn whether to watch 'live' or wait until I'm home
However - you'll be glad to hear I'm all set up to vote 'by proxy'!

Longing for hubby to go to bed so I can watch tonight's ITT

Agree with all of this. 😊


I hope you enjoy ITT. My husband is threatening to join Digital Spy as he said it's the only way he'll communicate with me during SCD. However he did compare my re-watching all of Doti's dances on YouTube to when he watched 70 goals by his favourite footballer. 😉
Glad you're set up to vote. I'll be watching behind a cushion, with tissues and wine at the ready. 😊


I like this version of Set Fire To The Rain: https://youtu.be/Urq50x1TgPE

To try and help Danny and Oti win, am prepared to run up my phone bill.

I'm going with QS as Danny was so pleased with the Judges choice and I think only the QS would get that reaction.

Loved that it was Danny's idea for Oti to jump and she jumped blind!!

Will love their show dance when I see it but was not expecting Adele but it's a contrast to a fast Samba and hopefully QS so will show how versatile they are. Just a shame I really don't like Adele!!!
