Danny Mac & Oti Tango to ‘One Night Only’ from Dream girls - Strictly Come Dancing 2016: Week 11

[@jeannetteburgess2745]

I love love love Kelvin with Oti 2019 but Danny Mac..Just the jewel in the crown

[@zxaddictxz]

Same. Gorgeous dancing, gorgeous smile, great chemistry with Oti. And Oti is stunning in this number.

[@jeannetteburgess2745]

ABSOLUTE agree!! Magical!

[@hana-belle]

Danny and Oti the real winners of the show. Brilliant dancing!!

[@TigerPrawn_]

Find someone who looks at you the way Danny looks at Oti when they first go into hold 😍

[@jelaboothe2363]

cx45830 I hear you girl.. Sorry, but l laff everytime I watch this(probably 1,000x and counting.. Danny's MAN HANDSHAKE reminds me of a..'OVER CONFIDENT' guy who seems pleased that he's just won a BET f 'SCORING', wid the GIRL of his DREAMS.. C, I'm LAFFING as I write this. Men, hey... Boy is he kicking tnite... Sexual CHEMISTRY @its best.

[@RB-cz7vq]

Amen to that

[@kirstymitchell3925]

Can't stop watching this! Oti can do anything even with very non-tangoey music she choreographed this! Danny was fantastic ❤❤

[@daniellamaria5887]

lol everyone hates the music but I think Oti choreographed an amazing and complex routine and Danny coped amazingly. again, these two (in my opinion) did an amazing job. DANNY AND OTI TO WIN!!!🏆

[@mavsworld1733]

Zogohoganoth ! Looked like he was really struggling with the steps/technique. Generally felt all the closed hold parts looked very awkward.

[@daniellamaria5887]

MavsWorld yeah, it clearly wasn't his best dance - everyone has a one that isn't theirs - but I still really enjoyed it!

[@aaronwilkins1843]

Dreadful choreography

[@kathrynn8362]

2023 and Danny is still my choice for the Crown!

[@sianbennett-rodgers]

Im so bored of people bitching about how he's trained already. It really doesnt matter, even if he hadn't he would always have been a good dancer. Admittedly it might have taken him a little longer to get to this point but he's just one of those people who can dance, previous experience or not. We've seen it before with other who havent had the experience then won. Some people just can, just as some never will be very good

[@FWM4Ever]

Sian Rodgers well said. Some just have the natural flair and others don’t

[@louiseodonoghue7816]

omg danny and oti were fantastic

[@margueriteheale7829]

[@tracey-annwisdom2874]

Yaaaaaayyyyyyyy!!!! OMG, I was so worried about the music choice again this week, but they made it work. I've got to learn to just trust that Oti is a genius. Lol! Gooooo #TeamDoti! The #DreamTeam!

[@tracey-annwisdom2874]

***** I'm never calm where my faves are concerned, even if I know they've got it. Lol! I don't understand how they even get out there and perform, cuz if I can be so nervous from so far away... It's especially nerve-wracking when the music choice is silly, and you have to shore yourself up for snarky judges' comments. I'm still mad about that Argentine tango, tbh.

[@goawayleavemealone2880]

I love Danny - but Len was right about his Heel Leads being imprecise. But it was a great performance to a song that really shouldn't have worked, on ITT you could tell Oti wasn't thrilled about choreographing a Disco-Tango. For my money Laura Whitmore has done the Tango of the series, if Danny can't de-throne it - then nobody can.

[@tracey-annwisdom2874]

That's true. I agreed with Len and Craig. You could see that Craig in particular was frustrated, cuz he WANTED to give that 10. Lol! It just shows that, contrary to the opinions of the folks clamouring for him to get booted because he's "already a professional dancer," there are still weaknesses he can work on. I wasn't expecting the 10s either, but Bruno was probably still having aftershocks from the hot samba last week, and Darcey admitted she wasn't even looking at his feet. Lol!

[@Banburian1]

All those people saying he cannot act should read the reviews from Sunset Boulevard in which he is playing the leading role of Joe Gillis. One starts "Danny Mac is a revelation!" They universally praise him as he is on stage for practically the whole of the show and holds it all together with his powerful acting, dancing and singing.

[@maybelleanders5273]

I think it was deliberate that Danny and Oti were given such a difficult song to tango wioth. They were afraid that the glitterball would be lifted by them. Hence, this song. Oti, being the clever girl she is, did a good job with it. Its still watchable.

[@wbabojo2779]

Out of this world vocals from Dave Arch's female lead and backing. One night only! ❣️

[@GOSMGR1]

This has not been a vintage season for Tangos and this was no exception.Danny said in his interview with Claudia that he didn't expect 10s for that dance, and in truth he shouldn't have done but Darcey and Bruno seem to be a little giddy with their 10s at the moment.He's still fantastic and his samba and Argentine Tango are still leaving a warm glow.

[@soyerp4638]

Tony Morris

[@goawayleavemealone2880]

Laura Whitmore's Tango was excellent - it might not have been technically perfect, but it was full of attack and like all the best Tangos had the super simplistic storyline of "I hate you, but the sex is amazing".

[@GOSMGR1]

I agree Laura's Tango was easily the best of the season-she went far too early in my opinion. Her injury week didn't help her.

[@margueriteheale7829]

The more I see it the more I just love it so there ❤️️❤️️

[@jannibanniful]

I watched many, many SCD Videos. Maybe a bit too many ;) And I have to say from all the male celebrities is Danny the one who is truly leading and not just performing the steps. Which is really hard to accomplish if you dance partner is a pro.

[@sandranaylor2348]

Oti and Danny are a pleasure to watch

[@MsTahsin91]

I think any dance for these two, after the perfection that was their samba would have been extremely difficult to follow. They did the best with what they were given, 'One night only' really doesn't scream Tango does it, yet they somehow managed to pull it off. This partnership has set the bar so high, that when they falter just a little (be it dodgy music or a few technical mistakes) it seems like a massive let down, when in reality this was still a very good and accomplished dance, it just wasn't up to their usual standards. That in no way means in the end they don't deserve to win, they have been consistently AMAZING!! And 90% of the time, I'm sorry to say blow the other's out of the water lol. When a SCD couple gives me nervous knots and butterflies in my stomach, every week, before their dance starts, I know that they're something special :)

[@deltafay1981]

Tahsin Ali - Agree with your analysis 100% Am so looking forward to next weeks semifinal Now Danny has that samba out of the way , it will be interesting to see what other creative delights Oti & co will spring upon us!! Long live the butterflies !!

[@sionedhughes4001]

Tahsin Ali The fact that something this good isn't up to their usual standards really says it all.

[@GaryWalshDublin]

Oti looks amazing. The music is ridiculous for a tango- they did the best with what they were given. They really need to win

[@debbieblackman3650]

Brilliant dance. Danny and Oti should have won

[@selinaskeggs209]

Danny Mac is THE BEST Strictly contestant EVER! Sorry Alexander Burke but you are the CLOSEST SECOND 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾

[@smusaful]

the best tangos on strictly

[@Banburian1]

It is about time the pro dancers got to choose their own music. Why were they lumbered with such a fast tune? The same song in a slower tempo would have wrked just as well and Danny could have perfected the technique easier.

[@Banburian1]

I have heard a much slower version, sung, I think by Jennifer Hudson. It was brilliant.

[@smusaful]

And has anyone noticed that Aton has better choices with his dances but not always good celebs (apart from Katie Derham and Emma Barton) . Me thinks done has more control over song choices 😉

[@euyemura123]

They should have danced to "Cell Block Tango" from Chicago.

[@michaelanecchi268]

euyemura123 think that would of been great but someone had already taken that one last year for the same dance and the same week👎

[@euyemura123]

Anita & Gleb danced to that song, but it was their Argentine Tango.

[@michaelanecchi268]

euyemura123 oh yeah, my bad haha. i looked on youtube and it was just under 'Tango' until i read the description🙈

[@tammyjones8571]

I had goods bumps watching this it was incredible. wouldn't my bd him walking upto me and looking into my eyes like that. phwoaar!

Tammy Jones (hey girl, wait in line.. Oti looks hot as per-se. Their chemistry is amazing. He simply bounces off her energy.Their connection is intense.. Its kind of sexual.. But not sexual.. If u no wat I mean. If u don't fget it, cos I've confused myself.)

[@emilystait4436]

Go Danny Mac

[@chiccoca563]

The song was just wrong for a Tango. Across the board some of the song choices have been iffy.

[@deltafay1981]

+Chiccoca You are absolutely right, the song choices across the board have been pretty poor and can make such a difference to how you perceive each and every individual routine. Cant fault the Strictly singers and Orchestra as they are world class, but boy would i love a word with whoever decides on the songs. Off with his (or her?) head !!!

[@jkg2088]

This performance was underwhelming. With the correct song choice would have done the tango justice. Was looking forward to seeing this. 🙁

[@carrieokeeffe4315]

Totally

[@sionedhughes4001]

I think this dance would have had more impact if it hadn't followed two 40's in a row, unlucky with music choice too. Still a great dance though.

[@jelaboothe2363]

I LAFF every time I watch this.. Danny's MANSHAKE, looks like a man whose just won a BET 4 'SCORING ' with the GIRL of his DREAMS..(typical guy). FABULICIOUS.

[@callumsannachan7135]

10 for timing and performance I saw no pointed foot perfect for week 11

[@RM-rc1tf]

You can't go from toe to more toe all the time. It lacked some heel leads, his frame dropped a couple of times (so did Oti's) and there was no wow factor in this. Although the promenade section with the backup dancers was great. 8 for me.

[@margueriteheale7829]

R M no definitely a 9 at the least!!

[@RM-rc1tf]

Technically it wasn't a 9. Too many people are giving it higher score because it is Danny.

[@deltafay1981]

Makes a nice change then R M! ...given that Danny was underscored for so MANY of his wondeful dances at the earlier stages (whilst other contestants had 10's thrown at them when not merited) Sweet justice....FINALLY GO DOTI!!!!!!!!!

[@RM-rc1tf]

delta fay There is no doubting that others have been overmarked a lot! Ore has been overmarked a few times. What dances are you saying he deserved 10's for? It can't be at the start even if they were great as that would ruin the show.

[@deltafay1981]

Aye, i realise judges had to mark the Mac lower at first (didn't however stop Len giving Ms Lowe a 9 for 1st dance) for reasons you mention -though this didn't ease my sense of disappointment and frustration that brilliant dances went unrecognised. _ Barring the rumba and foxtrot i have been of the opinion that all rest of his dances were worthy of some tens. Found it stupefying that a man of his talent had to wait 9 weeks for his first 10 - strategic planning or not

[@goawayleavemealone2880]

I love that a dance performed to a song about a "one night stand" starts off with Danny looking like he's flirting with Neil..

[@jelaboothe2363]

GoAway LeaveMeAlone (Halarious... I fd this dance a bit cheeky. Danny's GRIN & MANSHAKE.. looks like the" CAT that got the CREAM"... He reminds me of a man whose just won a BET f 'SCORING with the GIRL of his DREAMS'. Naughty, but VERY NICE..

[@connyklug3385]

man i miss danny on the show

[@deltafay1981]

Despite the music (Would ban this hideous song if possible) thought Danny And Oti flew around the dance floor with their usual speed , grace and dynamism That said, thought the night as a whole proved a bit of a let down....let's hope the Semifinal has more pizzazz DOTI ALL THE WAY.....

[@gemzbullz5707]

Back when the costume sparkles were excessively perfect

[@RB-cz7vq]

Danny is real leading man material.

[@scdobserver835]

Erm, not wanting to be a downer, but we come to expect only perfection from Danny and this is NOT perfect. Head position (too 'upright' for the lack of a better word) should be more exaggerated for the ballroom hold to look 'correct' for the Tango. Disco music and Tango don't mix either, and this is more like an audition for Danny as a lead in the West End. It's danced on bend knees and Danny did that at least (and his swing and sway looks more natural than Ore's). 9

[@nightsky5640]

He's only human.

[@scdobserver835]

***** I am not saying he isn't. lol

[@legaleagle46]

I thought there was something off about his posture, and you're right. In the Tango, the man should have his chest open, his back straight, and his and his head and shoulders stretched out and slightly back. What looks good in the Foxtrot, Waltz, or Quickstep doesn't quite work in the Tango. His facial expressions reminded me a bit of Anton when he dances the Tango. Did you or anyone else pick up on that?

[@scdobserver835]

Lee Cox Anton! That's it! I was wondering the way he's dressed! Yes, like the 'younger' looking Anton. This is a feat to make Danny less good looking than he really is! lol

[@legaleagle46]

Scd Observer Hey, now -- Anton's not that bad looking for a man who just turned 50 and is due to be the father of twins in about five months! LOL

[@yosoysoya7944]

Props to the female background dancers for not being distracted by hair being flipped in their face in the "superhold" :D

Definitely, Halloween was not their best week!! But the music choices need to improve, massively

[@Rilea_]

Danny has produced some phenomenal dancing, and this is no exception. However, I don't think this was a 10, and it frustrates me when the judges hand out 10s despite clear errors; it undermines what a 10 signifies.

[@Rilea_]

That's true

[@BBGirl555]

was ok!

[@carolyn292]

Danny Mac you were robbed of the winner

[@autumnde-morette8883]

This was really good, but I'm slightly irritated that a few of the judges did point out the same apparent mistake, and still gave him 10's. Louise and Claudia shone more for me personally.

[@louisehulme9996]

Fantastic dance shame about the song choice.

[@babblegabblegamer5842]

not up to Danny's OR Oti's standards personally! no wow or pazas... not their dance. 7.75

[@Jazzy-pf2oy]

My thoughts after the tango: 1. Danny danced the tango as though he had already won. 2. As much as I adore his fiancee and think she's beautiful, as a couple they do not invoke my interest. In fact, I find the camera cutting back to see her reaction annoying, and she probably doesn't like it either. 3. For me, the only thing that makes Danny interesting is Oti and the chemistry was off tonight. Much as I like excellent dancing, I also like a story/chemistry behind the personalities to invest my interest.

[@sionedhughes4001]

Just wondering, what do you mean by as if he had already won?

[@iyabom1]

What do you mean by your first point? He comes across as really humble.

[@droppedbye.2698]

Also he's had extensive training in the past. He's far too skinny and has zero sex appeal.

[@angechan1113]

Are you raving mad or totally blind (through jealousy)! I guess you shd leave the sex appeal to women to decide- He's hot as a man and as a fantastic dancer

[@MsTahsin91]

Pugnaciousworld Pugnaciousworld Hater much?? He's a phenomenal dancer, probably the best to ever be on Strictly, no way is he 'frantic'. His body was on display in the samba last week and it was amazing. He's one of the sexiest men I've ever laid eyes on. I agree with Ange Chan you're either jealous or blind!

[@deltafay1981]

+ Pugnaciousworld, Frantic or Passionate? Don't understand how you can watch that elegant and beautiful Viennese waltz and Rumba, then label Danny Frantic. If Danny were to be eliminated at this stage, i wouldn't watch the rest of the series ,as i'd probably die of boredom !

[@droppedbye.2698]

delta fay ... I feel the same about Claudia ! I'm entitled to my opinion thankyou ! I've seen more meat on a butchers knife. It's a well known fact appearing on television adds a further 10lbs/4.5 kilograms, so he's well skinny ! In real life he most likely has the frame of a woman. Also the skinny arse has had dance training ... NOT FAIR !
