No, she won't. Darcey doesn't give 10's in week 3.
When marking Jay's jive last year she said 'As it's week, it's a 9' implying that she couldn't award a 10 so early in the competition.

Not from Darcey. She only gave Jay a 9 because it was week 3 (her words.)
Bruno might, if he's excited enough.

Having seen the full list, I don't think Danny will even do the best dance of the night.

no he wont get a 10, I cant see 10s until halfway through Jays Jive was overmarked since he wasn't even THAT good I think Danny is way better at least he shows more emotion that half a teaspoon of sugar

Not a chance.

Louise will get a '10' before her...


Louisa Lytton also got a 10 for her jive from Bruno in Week 3 of Series 4...so not altogether impossible...

I tend to agree. However, he's the only person doing a paso doble similar to Jay when he was the sole jive performance of the night. Also Danny's music is a two song split like Jay had for his jive. The Zorro theme and music is dramatic and epic so if Oti's choreography and his dancing hit the mark it will be spectacular. That said, it's not a foregone conclusion and movie night could provide the opportunity to a number of couples to share the spotlight.

I think as Zorro Danny will do the dance of the night and will generate a lot of fuss. This isn't last year and I don't see the need to compare everything to Jay (speaking as a Jay fan). It makes more sense to me to say it's likely to match the audience response of Susannah's paso at Blackpool.

(Mind, I thought Peter Andre would have the most dramatic dance with Pirates last year. But I still think the paso will do very well for Danny. I can't see Ore doing Singing in the Rain well, but if he does he's also a possible dance of the night.)

Peter Andre's paso to the epic POTC music theoretically speaking could have been a great memorable dance but iirc it comprised of Janette skirt wafting (a lot) and PA stomping around (a lot). A celeb possessing dance talent and a skilled choreographer would have created a special dance to that music.

A la Danny & Oti then?

Their Paso is going to be SPECTACULAR mark my words. Bruno will definitely be dusting of his "10" paddle!!!

I think they may win their harshest critic Len over and he will also award a "10".

Hope so!!!

I think he might get one, he's really good and any 10 he get's will be justified.

Unlike others in the past.

Yeah I think even for him the Paso is a harder dance to 10 in this early on. If he was doing a Ballroom like a Waltz, or even American smooth then I'd say it was possible he could get at least one 10, but with a Paso 9s at the most.

You know, one of the reasons why Jay's jive was such a huge moment was because it came completely out of nowhere. It wasn't being particularly hyped in the week beforehand, and his training footage on ITT was markedly worse than the dance on the night. So perhaps anything being hyped up as the "new JayJive" is setting your sights a bit too high - somebody was already claiming Danny's VW would reach such heights, which it clearly didn't.

And for my money, Claudia's Charleston is looking like the dance to watch this week.

Apparently they had never done it correctly all the way through until the live show! No wonder it wasn't hyped.

Danny and Oti might be feeling the effects of being over-hyped and for that reason I too don't think they will get any 10s. However, it would be nice if they did.

*cough* Frankie and Kevin got a Donny 10 in week 3 - perhaps there needs to be a thread entitled 'Will Louise do a Frankie and get a 10 in week 3', but then wouldn't fit in with the OP's clear anti-Jay / Danny agenda, would it...

A Donny 10 though ... we all know that's an 8 in anybody else's book!

Based on the training footage, I would say Claudia & AJ have a good shot at a 10 or 2.
