There is a reason why Oti has been given dancing responsibilities outside strictly (The greatest dancer etc.) because that girl knows how to teach someone to dance. Bill is incredibly light on his feet and they were almost entirely in time with each other the whole way through. Most importantly he is a ball of energy and a joy to watch. 8/10 BBC Please stop with the AR elements it doesn’t add to the show at all and it makes the performances look cheap

Exactly, but other pros have done the same in the past like aliona, Darren, lillia, flavia and Ola. We can't forget past professionals and in a way we can compare with current professionals. Have heard that janette may not get a student this time round. I do also reckon that gorka will reach the finale again, hes built a big fanbase now the way he was like with maisie, he was very caring and supportive to her.

I actually felt so proud watching bill and seeing him do so well. He's a breath of fresh air puts 100% effort in but at the same time keeps a light heartedness about it, he's the main reason I'm watching strictly this year.. Rooting for him all the way love an underdog go bill !!!!!!

I MEAN WHAT?! jeez Oti has worked him to become a decent ballroomer. Solo sections were great frame was pretty good too but can be better. Rhythm and synchronicity was great too. Can he just dance ballroom every week?! 7.5

Oti is a queen, the way she has taken Bill's rhythm and run with it to create such a routine, I am in awe. It was entertaining, he was light on his feet and he's really put himself into the competition with this performance! My favourite performance of the night!

I’m obsessed with this partnership, I love it so much! 🤩

At this rate Oti's might end up winning the competition again . She's such an amazing teacher, who actually works on the partners weaker areas, technique and performance. Fabulous ❤👏👏👏

Oti is by far my favourite professional. Her choreography is ALWAYS spot on! Thoroughly enjoyed this, Bill is so much better than I imagined him to be. He looks like he's having heaps of fun too.

My jaw dropped in the first five seconds and stayed dropped for the entire dance! Wow, I figured he might be better than initially expected pre-series but not this good! Would've preferred more in hold because he did so well in it though but still really nice surprise from Bill. Oti is the Queen of Strictly.

Oh my lord this was amazing. Like properly good how did he do that???

I can see why even James Jordan is a fan of Bill's this year. This was a really good dance from Bill, and it was extremely charming and enjoyable to watch. I hope continues to go for as long as he's having fun -- which he clearly is!

So if theres one thing about Bill its the fact he genuinely could just be doing this as a joke but honestly this was fantastic. Light, quick and very elegant. I said this last week but I'll say it again, he is one of my favourites and I hope he's in this competition for a long time. 8.

I thought that we weren't going to get any quality dancing from Bill this entire series but BILL!!! This was definitely an exceptional routine. Light on his feet didn't get ahead of the music through the side-by-side bit. If I was to nitpick, I would have like to see more ballroom hold in the routine. But overall LOVED the routine. *7.5*

@@cheyennegentry438 You're not wrong. Also, UK judges are more critical of choreography that strays away from the pureness of the dance, especially in later weeks. I've noticed in the US this is not really the case. Maybe Len is as strict as he was on the UK panel, but here dance scores can incur penalties for illegal lifts etc.. Is that the case in the US?

If he continues like this. He could win. Brilliant performance.

He's a musician. He already has the rhythm. With that Oti had someone good to work with.

He’s just such a legend

Oti the magician strikes again!!! What an improvement!

Wow. That was so impressive. Such an improvement from last week. Bill is a joy to watch, and Oti is a brilliant teacher and choreographer.

Love him. Bill got rhythm, Bill got music, who could ask for anything more 💞👍

Wow!!! Wasn't expecting that level of performance. Bravo!!

Bill to win!!!!

what a character !!! my champion, Oti =genius ! xx

Oti and Bill are amazing! Wow! Never expected that!

i cannot believe how good was he , very proud

Brilliant performance such nifty footwork. Surprised how light Bill is on his feet, fantastic. Oti is certainly the Queen of Dance. I'm rooting for them. Onwards and upwards.

Wow! Fast becoming my favourite!

Wow! What a team! Bill is so light on his feet, fantastic. What a teacher Oti is!

this was surprising! and he is always adorable

love these two oti is amazing, the best pro by a mile imo

I adore them. That is it. All I have to say. 10. Fantastic. Made me so happy

I keep coming back to watch this 😂😂

Oti is simply the BEST PRO DANCER ever seen on strictly! She is just amazing. I cannot believe what I just watched. Bill Bailey danced like he's always been a closet dancer, so good and so smooth. Oti is the greatest teacher. She can get the best out of anyone. Well done team OTBILL!

I actually cried just watching that - what a genuine breath of fresh air!!

I love him, he has thrown himself into dance and he looks like he loves it! A 7 from me! Queen Oti, always brings out the best in her celebrities. 💜❤

So glad Bill's in it to win it! Looked like a proper dancer out there!

Love Oti and Bill in this routine- eish, wow!

I absolutely loved bill bailys performance and it was also the perfect song for him too, just loved it . He was brilliant

Judges have chosen this to see again in the final this Saturday can't wait to see it again! #teambill

Brilliant! What a surprise to see Bill so good!

Just a WoW from me, love this. Oti you and Bill are a great partnership. Love Bill as a comedian but now as a "proper" dancer. Will be voting for you.

Bill's footwork! Congratulations to Oti, this was amazing, loved everything about it. ♡

Bill is one hell of a lucky guy. Who wouldn’t want to dance with Oti

One of the final three.

Absolutely fabulous!

Bill is a natural performer - when I see him dance it makes me smile - just what we all need right now.

I bet Rachel Riley was getting the F Flutters watching that! Great performance from Bill & Oti.

I thought this last week and I wondered if my opinion would change and it hasn’t. He’s so light on his feet! He moves very well for his age generation. Okay, so he won’t be hot on his Latin but I think his ballroom will be the ones he’ll score well on. It’s so nice to see that class of 2020 all have some basic skills. It’s going to be a tough call leading up to the final.

I spy with my little eye this seasons Chris Ramsey. Amazing improvement. I gave a 6 mainly for entertainment as I thought it was a 2 for technique, but this was amazing. This makes the cha cha look like a 1. Fab! We’ve got launch show bill back! An 8!

Well done Bill 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏 fantastic performance I absolutely loved this

Fantastic dance bill loved it and that song 😃

THE BIGGEST SURPRISE of the evening without any doubt! Who could foreseen such high quality of dancing?! It was so, so entertaining but also unbelievably strong ballroom dancing-wise! TERRIFIC frame and posture, super clean, fast and precise footwork... Oti has done magic with Bill, magic that is stronger and more powerful then every Halloween spell. I am truly AMAZED! To say the truth, I didn't expect it to be THAT good! From poor to brilliant in one week... it just shows how much dedicated Bill is and how much Oti is magnificent as a pro! On the negative side, for me Bill was a bit tense and he was too concentrated on getting everything right that he wasn't totally portraying the character of the dance. In addition, they also broke hold during the dance, which is illegal. Haven't said that it was a wow of a Quickstep and, knowing how much focus and determination bill has, I cannot wait to see what he is going to bring to the dancefloor next week. My score: a 7.
