It's Obvious That Danny Will Win
Because he's the best dancer perhaps? Well, what's wrong with that? |

Here we go again with the obvious winner thing. If its so obvious, why bother to carry on watching? He's good but so are Ore and Louise. Ed is the spanner in the works with Daisy, Greg being MOR. Rinder is another potential spanner so for Me, nothing is obvious or plain sailing. To put more of a buggeration factor in, AJ, for me, is making his mark on his debut...very open this series

I don't think it is obvious; however, it is clear that Danny is perceived as a threat to somebody favored by the OP. Hence the attempt to start an "anti-ringah" campaign.
It is so last year, but I am sure it will attract a number of other "anti-ringahs" crawling from every crack, now that we are half-way through the season and the competition tightens. |

This year I don't really like any of them that much now, and I'm not avidly following every show so I'm not a good example for your question, but I suppose that if I liked say Kevin and Louise. I'd carrying on enjoying their journey and be hoping that I was wrong about public opinion. That's not my position though, perhaps having a clear favourite affects the habits of more casual viewers like me? I dunno, The ideal situation for the show, if there is a strong favourite, is for there to be other, good credible contenders, which seems to be what they've got this year. So maybe that's why so many who don't favour Danny to win, keep watching. |

(Incidentally, Denise Van Outen had a big dance background and had lots of comments about it being unfair she was on the show, so how come Danny hasn't had anywhere near as many?).

I'm not convinced.
The voting public do like a journey (drink!) which explains the popularity of Ed, Greg and Rob Rinder. Claudia and Daisy fall in the middle of nowhere. The favourites of Ore, Louise and Danny haven't had The Journey, but are merely at a slightly more polished level than they started at. |

Danny is my favourite BUT I still dont think he will win. I just want him to get to the finals which I am at least sure he will. On the contrary, I feel like everything is being orchestrated for Louise to win ( yes I love conspiracy theories
) |

How much has he improved?
Very little IMHO. |

I'm not trying to predict the winner, but I agree that Danny will most likely make the final, in which case I'd love to see him repeat his Halloween dance and get it right this time.

I'm tending to agree that the marking is looking increasingly like Danny is, yes I'm going to say, here it comes, are you ready?......... The Chosen One.

I really don't think it's obvious Danny will win. He doesn't have a massive journey storyline which does matter to a lot of voters. Claudia and Rinder are improving every week and I could easily see one of them lifting the glitterball. Louise has a lot of support outside this forum because she's nice and a mum and very relatable. And though Ore has slipped the past couple of weeks, his jive was a standout moment and he's got a decent fan base (I believe his bottom two appearance was due to people assuming he was safe). Then there's Ed who really could win because he's entertaining and trying hard. Even Greg has a lot of public support, and Daisy could turn things around if she gets a good run of ballroom. I think the competition is still wide open and thank goodness; it makes the show a lot more enjoyable. |

I thought Craig and Darcey's comments were spot on.
I was only surprised that Len didn't feel the same way, as this is usually something he picks up on. It was still a pretty good dance... but the best AT for me was Simon and Kristina's from 2014. That will take a lot of beating - and Danny & Oti did not even come close to it. |

Yes, I'd like to see him repeat his Foxtrot and get the choreography right and maybe improve on some technical points. I like his personality and I like his dancing a lot.. It is particularly good when he is dancing the faster, full on dances like the quickstep and jive. I have no problems with his AT being marked highly this week, but it was too frenetic for me (but that is just a matter of taste). |

could Danny be Van Outed?
Danny on the other hand, hasn't had to deal with these type of comments. If anything, I think he's had an easy tide in terms of the comments on here. He's had a lot more positive comments than negative ones on here. This goes back to what I said about the "mud sticks comment". I'm not singling anyone out, but I wonder if the people that criticise the others saying things like Ore is faking his tears and has clearly had dance experience, are hoping that other people will believe them and go off that person and move on to their favourite. |

I wasn't keen on Danny in early weeks. His persona was directly out of a PR machine - manufactured. He was saying what he thought (was told) needed to be said on a show like SCD to get votes from viewers. Not the only one Ore was worse! It really irritates the insincerity that is becoming the hallmark of these shows.
Having said all that I loved Oti and think she is a fabulous addition to show. Danny has also now settled down and we're seeing more below the veneer. Thing is some viewers like contrived so it may not help him but for me I like to see authentic warts and all. He is a great dancer and I've given him a vote most weeks but he isn't my choice to win just yet! |

It's pretty obvious the judges want Danny to win, especially after that mark for his AT.
If anything, the judges are harsher with him in comments and scores than with Louise and Ore. |

Can anyone explain to me why it would matter to the judges or the BBC who wins
Anyone claiming it's obvious that the judges are pushing one or other to win must know a good reason why it would actually matter to them |

He is a great dancer and I've given him a vote most weeks but he isn't my choice to win just yet! But Danny's not-so-secret weapon is Oti. I think she has blossomed this season. I love her challenging choreography and great dancing. I keep replaying the SCD professionals' "She Bangs" number with her. What an inspired choice of a soloist! Oti is a goddess there. (Only Natalie in a ballroom routine could match that). So, if I could vote for a SCD professional to win this season, it would be Oti and only Oti who is such a great addition to the program. |

Would love Danny to win, he should win.
Oti is in another league when it comes to the choreography. Absolutely stunning. |

I doubt it. Denise Van Outen had to cope with it throughout the whole series. Mud sticks and if enough people keep repeating something, others will start to agree. This was I think, one of the reasons why she didn't win.

To be honest, Ann, I find all his dances far too frenetic. A foxtrot, a quickstep, a rumba, etc - they're all danced with the same frenetic, OTT bash-n-dash. There seems a real lack of actual feel for the dance. No one could deny that he can move, and has the ability to learn choreography, but he needs to learn that sometimes less is more!

I'm not sure. Danny is obviously the Ringer this year and it's very rare that the ringer goes all the way to win.
He is probably favourite but I think The Judge and Claudia/AJ are both in with a shout (AJ is probably very popular with the voting demographic and might win it for Claudia with their show dance) Don't think this is as clear cut for Danny Mac as last year was for Jay, for example... |
