Really impressed with Oti's choreography so far this year. Very interesting storytelling and very exciting routines. Really loving her cat who's got the cream attitude as well! She's a bit bonkers which I love and she looks amazing.
Happy as anything for her that she's got someone who can really dance. Hope they can get to the final.

She's adorable and I love that great smile. She knows she's lucky this year and is going to make damn sure she makes the most of it. And didn't she look stunning on Saturday.

everyone likes differently like some think Kevin is marmite I have always been the same re Oti never have been keen on her dancing with Marius and not overly impressed with her stuff on German tv she has been ok with Danny but he can dance - if one of the girl pros had that cat has got the cream attitude they would be getting slagged off

For most of us, all we know is her UK Strictly persona and judge her on that alone.

I'm guessing you missed out the word "other" from the BIB?

If so, as with most things in life, it's not what you do, it's how you do it. I think -so far- Oti comes across as a nice enough person in all other respects to be able to get away with being honestly thrilled at getting a contender. It's a fine line to walk and could tip into being annoying, but so far I'm loving Thrilled Oti, especially as it lifts their partnership out of being a tad dull otherwise.


ETA haha minder-reader me.

I like her fine so far, but it'll take more than 5 routines before I throw my hand all in and say I love her. Ironically enough, if we're bringing the Cliftons into it, I find her choreography for Danny so far a little manic.

Think Oti is fab. Great dancer and she looks stunning! Didn't get to see much of her last year as she went out early, stands a much better chance this year.

Oksana is doing a lot of themes and props, but we don't mention this

Rinder seems tailor-made for props, so it doesn't jar with me. And not because he's a duffer who needs to be disguised, but just temperamentally he seems an OTT propsy kinda guy.

I was of course only commenting on Oti and Marius's dancing not them personally they both seem like nice people

Hopefully she will stop the screaming, just thinking about Danny's hearing. I like her apart from that.

I was having a nice GT
Oti smiled and the ice melted, her smile lights up the show with an extra glow even in the pro routines

I think she's a great addition to the female pros. I wish Joanne still had red hair because I'm still struggling at the moment to work out who is who in the pro dances (never mind who they're dance with!).

I think she's beautiful, dances like a dream and has a brilliant smile. Oti is second only to Natalie as my favourite pro.

I love Oti - definitely my fave pro. And I love her partnership with Danny. Rooting for them to win!

the most interesting thing to me about her is the anagram, oti abus me.
But it never happens
The anagram works better with her full name, Otlile.

Lil' Oti, abuse me

I do like Oti.

I wondered whether people had seen this from The Stage...?
Oti Mabuse - My First Audition

(I looked on The Stage's website but couldn't find it to link to, so scanning the thing seemed to be the only option.
Perhaps it will appear in John Byrne's stuff as he put it together.)

I was quite struck by this bit:
"At the hotel where the dancers were staying during the show recording, I happened to spot an Englishman who was trying to order some food. Unfortunately he didn't speak German and the staff didn't speak English, so I stepped in to help translate. It turned out he was from BBC Worldwide. After our conversation, I ended up being asked to audition for Strictly."

So that's how it's done, folks.

I loved her a LOT last year and I love her even MORE this year.

Sooooo happy she's got a good'n. I think her enthusiasm is needed to bring him up. I found him almost invisible initially, but his sense of humour is coming out now - in response to her personality I think.
