Hmm. Maybe it didn’t really pay off, but I do think Oti’s choreography was actually very clever. I don’t think there’s much more she could have done with that music and I think it showed that despite his posture in hold being a definite weakness, Graeme actually has a lot of rhythm - and a lot of potential!! This wasn’t a strong week but I really hope that the public get behind him tonight. I really love these two as a couple!!

I don't have a clue what this routine is meant to be but Oti is really pretty XD. 5...

[tokyox]

I miss dance, I finished it just over a year ago now

[siobhanrose]

Oti is the best female pro, full stop. Can't stop watching her I couldn't tell what her partner is like cause she is just great.

The judges can be so frustrating at times; they had a go at Karen for the disco, but the song was disco, so she was just trying to fit the song, and now they’ve done a similar thing with Oti. They didn’t like the ‘groove’ in the dance, but that’s just the song!

Oti usually has amazing choreography but that wasn't good he started very well but once he got into hold it was a dance DISASTER and that being said he needs to work on his body but he atleast enjoyed it *4/10* (he's better than that)

[dwtsobserver]

Hmm... this routine was a bit confusing to me. I normally love Oti's choreo, but this was weird to me. It wasn't very smooth, and what's with the sharp movements thrown in there? There was a bit of gapping too. Meh, not as impressive as his Samba last week, he showed so much promise. I hope he can pull it back in next week. 6.

[milliewhyte]

Found it kinda confusing tbh ! I mean I feel like graham could go pretty far in the competition and I feel he has more to offer but you can already tell he is going to be better at the Latin 😊a 5/10 for me

[BB_arbie]

Not sure what happened with these two this week, I fear he may be in trouble.

[scdobserver]

Oh no, this is so mis-judged. Where is the Smooth? What's with those un-AS solo bits? Graeme must work on not sticking his bottom out when in ballroom hold. And he must resists temptation of looking at Oti in that hold as well as it made his top line collapsed and his tummy lost contact with Oti as a result. Back to the drawing board, I am afraid. Ah, such promise last week with the Samba! 5

[dinico]

I Feel Graeme Didn't Suite this Performance like Last Week's.
He Just Feel's A Bit More Energised for This. But He Did a
Decent Job! 6/10

[DianeBanks]

I like these two but this routine wasn't memorable :(

[firstnameisthename]

let’s hope she whips him into shape soon otherwise potential bottom two material here

[danielshumkin]

For me it was a disaster. Didn't like the choreography at all. During the actual Foxtrot his frame was bad, there were no heel leads, he was very stiff (including his arms), his posture was poor, there was no sway and no elegance. He did a descent Samba last week, so perhaps he is stranger at Latin. His first ballroom dance was a nightmare. I will score it a 3 or a 2. Probably a 2.

[GOSMGR]

This was a little misjudged. Graeme needs to get better in hold. Not a great ballroom start for him.
