I wasn't completely convinced by the little that I saw of Oti judging on that Cowell dancing show, but she will surely be fabulous by comparison to the rest of the DOI panel and presentation.
Motsi didn't look too happy. I take it she wanted John to win
In a similar vein, I have to say I grew to like Anton as a judge. Much better than he was as a pro. I wouldn't be at all mad if he gets a permanent spot.
Yeah, I was expecting him to try and take the place of Bruno by imitating him a bit and being OTT and a bit try-hard, but he was actually a good judge.In a similar vein, I have to say I grew to like Anton as a judge.

It was obvious Anne-Marie would win by the fact that she was the only person competing under the age of 50!
You also don’t really need the judges there at all with their silly scores.
Did they not used to bring back former contestants for these specials? I feel like I'd much prefer that. I didn't really care for this episode.
Yes. It was like a week one of typical SCD but all with people you’d expect to be quite bad, except for Anne-Marie. Could have had a token boy band member or someone with some kind of experience of learning choreography.Personally as I watch this show for the DANCING I'd prefer if they got people who have had training experience before, eg: former contestants. The two Christmas specials with Alesha, Rachel Stevens, Gethin, Darren Gough, etc had INCREDIBLE DANCING in them as all of them had reached at least the semi-finals. They even allowed Kelly Brook to bow out gracefully after her premature exit!
Yesterday's episode was just a crappy week 3 with only a handful of contestants.
No way for Adrian Chiles. Jay Blades would be the most likely from that lot.
Anne Marie feels far too ‘big’ for SCD, which potentially says a lot about its current approach to casting.Some of the earlier christmas specials were celebrities who couldn't commit to a full series, who then could a few years later (Simon Webbe being one), so I'm expecting one of this lot soon. Anne-marie seems unlikely and Moira looks like she'd blow over in a gust of wind so I'd expect Adrian Chiles from this lot.
Seeing him fawn over nephews or nieces on Instagram makes me think he may well want a family. Plus the fact that Janette's a few years older than him may well make the situation a little more urgent. Not sure why he would need to give the show up though - Gorka still manages to to balance new fatherhood with delighting a nation of homosexuals with his lovely bottom.
I think it's more likely he's got his eye on a greater prize like Oti. Not sure he could pull a job like she has, but I imagine he's one of the cast who could manage a solo tour of the provinces.
Strictly pros don't get paid THAT much, do they?
