0:00:00 > 0:00:05So, we're down to four contenders all hoping to be the next Blue Peter presenter.
0:00:05 > 0:00:08There's been highs and lows. This is their story so far.
0:00:10 > 0:00:13Three months ago, we launched a nationwide search
0:00:13 > 0:00:16to find a new Blue Peter presenter to join Helen and Barney.
0:00:16 > 0:00:20Blue Peter is the best job in the world, without a doubt.
0:00:20 > 0:00:2220,000 people got in touch.
0:00:22 > 0:00:24Where do you want me?
0:00:24 > 0:00:27We selected the best ten to battle it out.
0:00:27 > 0:00:31A Blue Peter presenter needs to be courageous, daring and up for anything!
0:00:33 > 0:00:36So our ten hopefuls had to prove they had what it takes.
0:00:40 > 0:00:43Last week, their presenting skills were tested to the limit
0:00:43 > 0:00:46and they faced their most ambitious challenge yet.
0:00:46 > 0:00:49A brand-new world record!
0:00:52 > 0:00:54There's only one badge on offer
0:00:54 > 0:00:57and only four could make it through.
0:00:57 > 0:01:04A tough decision our expert judges, Eamonn Holmes, Myleene Klass and Ceall Spellman had to make.
0:01:04 > 0:01:07Guys, this week has been really tough for us.
0:01:07 > 0:01:10Isaac, I'm so sorry.
0:01:10 > 0:01:14I'm 19 years old, so I've got a lot of time to prove myself
0:01:14 > 0:01:15and get on people's TVs!
0:01:15 > 0:01:19Ben, Lindsey, Emma, Freddie.
0:01:19 > 0:01:22Any one of you could still become the new Blue Peter presenter.
0:01:22 > 0:01:24Congratulations.
0:01:26 > 0:01:28Only the best will survive.
0:01:28 > 0:01:30Each week, one more person will leave
0:01:30 > 0:01:33until ultimately, in just one week,
0:01:33 > 0:01:36you, the CBBC viewer, choose who gets the job.
0:01:36 > 0:01:39This is Blue Peter - You Decide!
0:01:39 > 0:01:41CHEERING
0:01:51 > 0:01:55Last week, they broke a world record. How can we top that?
0:01:55 > 0:01:58Simple! We take them to our capital city, fancy London town
0:01:58 > 0:02:00and give them our toughest set of challenges yet!
0:02:00 > 0:02:03This is our remaining four's final chance to impress the judges
0:02:03 > 0:02:06before the decision is handed over to you.
0:02:06 > 0:02:08- Guys, are you ready?- Yes!- Yeah!
0:02:10 > 0:02:11Follow us!
0:02:12 > 0:02:14The pressure's really on, this week.
0:02:14 > 0:02:16I've got to get one of those three spots.
0:02:16 > 0:02:20If I don't, that's it, and I really don't want it to end.
0:02:20 > 0:02:23I came here to get this job, and I still want it more than anything.
0:02:23 > 0:02:26So it's about getting through to the top three and letting the viewers decide.
0:02:26 > 0:02:28This is the last chance before the public vote.
0:02:28 > 0:02:30Everyone's going to step up their game
0:02:30 > 0:02:33so it's important I do the same and make it to the final three.
0:02:33 > 0:02:35There's only one more chance,
0:02:35 > 0:02:37one last stage to shine on
0:02:37 > 0:02:39and I just can't wait to shine!
0:02:40 > 0:02:45Today, your challenge is the very difficult task of interviewing.
0:02:45 > 0:02:49Two people who are brilliant at it are Helen and Barney.
0:02:49 > 0:02:51They've interviewed film stars, pop stars, royalty!
0:02:51 > 0:02:53Here's a little message from them to you.
0:02:53 > 0:02:56- BARNEY:- 'It's about interview technique today.
0:02:56 > 0:02:59'It's very important that you know what you're talking about.'
0:02:59 > 0:03:02I interviewed Miriam Margolyes, the teacher in Harry Potter,
0:03:02 > 0:03:04and I hadn't watched the movie!
0:03:04 > 0:03:06I had to ask her questions about it.
0:03:06 > 0:03:09She called me on it and asked me questions about the movie, and it looked really messy!
0:03:09 > 0:03:12Now I'm passing on that sort of experience.
0:03:12 > 0:03:16- Research!- It can make it really awkward if you don't know the subject.
0:03:16 > 0:03:19So do some research and have a genuine interest.
0:03:19 > 0:03:22Ask questions, make them trust you so you get good answers.
0:03:22 > 0:03:24Good luck, and remember, just be yourself!
0:03:24 > 0:03:27That's enough of that, before you look at your holiday photos!
0:03:27 > 0:03:30- So your first challenge is that way...- That way!- This way!
0:03:30 > 0:03:33The Blue Peter interview. It can happen anywhere.
0:03:33 > 0:03:36Thanks for inviting me for a chat!
0:03:36 > 0:03:38- But not just with anyone!- Great!
0:03:38 > 0:03:39- Thank you for my badge! - You're welcome!
0:03:39 > 0:03:44Being part of Blue Peter, you meet amazing people, do amazing things.
0:03:44 > 0:03:47Musicians, athletes, politicians, even royals,
0:03:47 > 0:03:49they've all told their story on this show.
0:03:49 > 0:03:52Nicole, it's great to stand next to you. Thanks for coming on the show.
0:03:52 > 0:03:55Give it up for J.K.Rowling!
0:03:55 > 0:03:56So, any top tips?
0:03:56 > 0:03:58- Try to enjoy it.- Be yourself.
0:03:58 > 0:04:00And, oh, yes - try not to fall over!
0:04:00 > 0:04:02We'll cheer you on!
0:04:07 > 0:04:11So, this week, the hopefuls must tackle the tricky task of interviewing.
0:04:11 > 0:04:14- Shall we tell them who it is? - Yep, can't wait to see their faces!
0:04:14 > 0:04:16You are going to be interviewing a girl band!
0:04:16 > 0:04:18OK.
0:04:18 > 0:04:20The girl band is Stooshe.
0:04:23 > 0:04:24Ben likes Stooshe!
0:04:28 > 0:04:31Urban pop sensation Stooshe are Alexandra,
0:04:31 > 0:04:34Karis and Courtney.
0:04:34 > 0:04:36With a number three hit already in the bag,
0:04:36 > 0:04:38they have high hopes for their new single
0:04:38 > 0:04:41which is what our four will be getting down to today.
0:04:41 > 0:04:48Not only are you interviewing them, you're also going to be learning their new dance routine
0:04:48 > 0:04:49at the same time!
0:04:49 > 0:04:52We're going to add one more thing to that as well.
0:04:52 > 0:04:56You've also got to wear...one of these!
0:04:56 > 0:04:57An ear-piece.
0:04:57 > 0:04:59You've seen presenters wearing these.
0:04:59 > 0:05:03So what this does, is whilst you're doing an interview or any live TV,
0:05:03 > 0:05:08the producer of the show will be talking to you the whole time.
0:05:08 > 0:05:12The art is that no-one watching will know you're being talked to.
0:05:12 > 0:05:16The people you'll hear in your ears today are...
0:05:16 > 0:05:17- Not you two!- Yes!
0:05:23 > 0:05:27This is bringing me serious fear. I've no idea how the ear-piece will go.
0:05:27 > 0:05:30I feel OK. Trying to keep calm!
0:05:30 > 0:05:33Yeah, fingers are shaking a little bit!
0:05:34 > 0:05:39Beside myself. This is the most nervous I've been for anything I've done so far.
0:05:40 > 0:05:43- Do you think we made it hard enough? - Probably not.
0:05:43 > 0:05:47- That's just as well, cos we've got one more surprise for them! - Come with us!
0:05:47 > 0:05:52What our four don't know is that the judges are going to secretly watch their every move in this room!
0:05:56 > 0:06:01- Hiya!- Hello.- OK. They don't know that you're here.
0:06:01 > 0:06:04Also, this is the first time you'll have seen them on location.
0:06:04 > 0:06:08So they've got to perform, they've got to ask questions,
0:06:08 > 0:06:13- and they've got to listen.- Is the pressure going to get to them?
0:06:13 > 0:06:16- Right away.- Judging heads on. See you in a bit!
0:06:17 > 0:06:21Being here in person means the judges get to see for the first time
0:06:21 > 0:06:24how our hopefuls get on in front of the camera and behind the scenes.
0:06:24 > 0:06:27They will get to see their every move, not just their talent test.
0:06:27 > 0:06:30And they'll have to cope with us talking down their lug-holes!
0:06:30 > 0:06:34But first, they've got to keep it together meeting our celebs.
0:06:34 > 0:06:36Step forward, Ben!
0:06:36 > 0:06:38This will be exciting for three reasons.
0:06:38 > 0:06:42One, Scooshe's incredible. Two, I've never learned a dance routine,
0:06:42 > 0:06:46and three, my trousers are too tight to be dancing! But we'll see how it goes. Let's do this.
0:06:46 > 0:06:48'They're behind you, Ben!'
0:06:48 > 0:06:51Am I straight on? Yeah? Let's go.
0:06:51 > 0:06:54I'm Ben. Nice to meet you.
0:06:54 > 0:06:57'Good recovery, Ben. And he's off!'
0:06:57 > 0:06:59This is so exciting! I can't wait!
0:06:59 > 0:07:03First, it was quite interesting how you came to be. Tell me about that.
0:07:03 > 0:07:06Me and Alex were spotted in Top Shop.
0:07:06 > 0:07:07Very watchable.
0:07:07 > 0:07:09'Let's see Emma in action.'
0:07:09 > 0:07:15Scooshe are loved by their fans for the fact that they've put an urban twist on their look and music.
0:07:15 > 0:07:19'Last week, Emma was praised for her energy with the super fans.'
0:07:19 > 0:07:22You completely owned it and you excelled in it.
0:07:22 > 0:07:25'But how will she be with her superstars?'
0:07:25 > 0:07:28Hi, girls! Nice to meet you! Courtney?
0:07:28 > 0:07:31Hello! And...Karis?
0:07:31 > 0:07:33Alexandra!
0:07:33 > 0:07:36'Whoa! Someone's excited!
0:07:36 > 0:07:38'Now, what will the judges think?'
0:07:38 > 0:07:41Ben looked much more at ease with all of this.
0:07:41 > 0:07:45'Right. Has Freddie managed to calm his nerves?'
0:07:45 > 0:07:48It must have been incredible - Brit Award nominations,
0:07:48 > 0:07:51touring with Nicki Minaj - that must have been awesome!
0:07:51 > 0:07:53Yeah, she's crazy!
0:07:53 > 0:07:54Tough one for Lindsey to follow.
0:07:54 > 0:07:56'Let's see what she can do!'
0:07:56 > 0:07:59What's the weirdest thing you've ever been given by a fan?
0:07:59 > 0:08:02I've had a Game Boy. You've had trainers.
0:08:02 > 0:08:07- Good question.- They're responding to that because they haven't been asked that before. That's good.
0:08:07 > 0:08:10Speaking of trainers, let's put our feet into action!
0:08:10 > 0:08:12Shall we start this dance?
0:08:12 > 0:08:15'Time to learn the tricky dance routine.
0:08:15 > 0:08:18'But Freddie's not looking as keen as the others!'
0:08:18 > 0:08:20I can't wait for this!
0:08:20 > 0:08:23I've done a bit of Scottish country dancing, and that's it!
0:08:23 > 0:08:25What does that look like? Show us!
0:08:25 > 0:08:28It's a bit like this.
0:08:29 > 0:08:31'Well, as they say, practice does make perfect!'
0:08:31 > 0:08:34Step left, step right.
0:08:34 > 0:08:37Step left. Step right.
0:08:41 > 0:08:43- Do the butterfly.- Like that?
0:08:43 > 0:08:45- That's right!- He's got it!
0:08:45 > 0:08:48To the side, to the side.
0:08:48 > 0:08:50One, two, three!
0:08:50 > 0:08:51Step left, step right.
0:08:51 > 0:08:56Pull your knees tight. Like a butterfly, to the side, to the side.
0:08:56 > 0:08:59'Hmm. Everyone's having far too much fun, I think!
0:09:01 > 0:09:03'Time to turn up the heat.
0:09:03 > 0:09:07'Remember we said we'd talk down their lug-holes?
0:09:07 > 0:09:09'It's time to switch on the ear-piece!'
0:09:09 > 0:09:11This is the big test.
0:09:11 > 0:09:12Here we go!
0:09:12 > 0:09:18Ask Karis what her advice would be to be a Blue Peter presenter.
0:09:18 > 0:09:23Karis, what does it take to be a Blue Peter presenter?
0:09:23 > 0:09:26- It worked.- She didn't flinch. - No, she didn't flinch at all.
0:09:26 > 0:09:28'Next up, Freddie.'
0:09:28 > 0:09:31Do the butterfly. To the side, to the side.
0:09:31 > 0:09:34'Last week, he was praised by the judges.'
0:09:34 > 0:09:38That kid got there. He was sat there, relaxed. And that's what the people at home will get.
0:09:38 > 0:09:40'Will that continue this week?'
0:09:41 > 0:09:45Ask them how did they come up with the name Stooshe?
0:09:45 > 0:09:50Stooshe is quite an odd name! Where did that come from?
0:09:50 > 0:09:55You can tell he's a bit nervous, cos he's dancing while he's asking the question!
0:09:57 > 0:09:59'Ben, could you ask Alexandra
0:09:59 > 0:10:04what her advice would be to a new Blue Peter presenter?
0:10:04 > 0:10:07What's your best advice for a Blue Peter presenter. You've all been on Blue Peter.
0:10:07 > 0:10:11That was interesting. There was a moment where he stopped to listen.
0:10:11 > 0:10:16You shouldn't do that. You should continue talking. But he's got the question in now.
0:10:16 > 0:10:23'Lindsey, during this dance, say that you've heard they've had an embarrassing underwear incident.'
0:10:23 > 0:10:29OK, guys. I hear you've had an embarrassing run-in. Is it to do with underwear?
0:10:30 > 0:10:33That's good. I didn't think she'd actually heard me!
0:10:33 > 0:10:34She didn't look like she'd heard.
0:10:34 > 0:10:37Lindsey's smashed it. She's done really well there.
0:10:37 > 0:10:38Thanks, guys!
0:10:38 > 0:10:41'That's challenge one over. What do our superstars think?'
0:10:41 > 0:10:43They're all actually really good.
0:10:43 > 0:10:46They've all got their own unique thing. You can see them all on Blue Peter.
0:10:46 > 0:10:52- Yeah.- For their own reasons. So you've got a tough job!- I'm glad we're not picking!
0:10:53 > 0:10:56That was fantastic! How was it for you?
0:10:56 > 0:10:58- I absolutely loved it.- Yeah.
0:10:58 > 0:11:01- Really good.- I was so nervous!
0:11:01 > 0:11:03There's something we need to tell you!
0:11:03 > 0:11:08During all of that, there's been three people secretly watching you
0:11:08 > 0:11:11in a room upstairs! The judges!
0:11:11 > 0:11:12No!
0:11:15 > 0:11:18I'll tell you this. We were watching. We saw it all.
0:11:18 > 0:11:21After that, we have only one thing to say to you four.
0:11:21 > 0:11:27- And that is...- Step left, step right, hold your knees tight!
0:11:29 > 0:11:31We have now got to go away and deliberate
0:11:31 > 0:11:34because it's given us an awful lot to think about.
0:11:34 > 0:11:36And we'll see you back at Judges' HQ.
0:11:40 > 0:11:43Our four hopefuls have interviewed the superstars.
0:11:44 > 0:11:47But, coming up, can they handle the man on the street?
0:11:47 > 0:11:49- Are you in a rush?- I am.
0:11:49 > 0:11:52And who will make the all-important final three?
0:11:52 > 0:11:55This has been our hardest decision yet.
0:11:55 > 0:11:58But now, it's time for challenge two.
0:11:58 > 0:12:02Right. So, here in sunny London, the judges want to see
0:12:02 > 0:12:05what you're like at conducting an interview on the street.
0:12:05 > 0:12:07We've got four central London locations.
0:12:07 > 0:12:09Pick one each.
0:12:09 > 0:12:12- That's where you'll do it. - But during the questioning,
0:12:12 > 0:12:18you have to try and find out a childhood secret that they've never revealed to anybody before!
0:12:18 > 0:12:21- Ready?- Yeah.- Go!
0:12:25 > 0:12:29In this second challenge, the Fab Four need to up their game.
0:12:29 > 0:12:32They need to use their powers of persuasion
0:12:32 > 0:12:35to get people to agree to chat on camera.
0:12:35 > 0:12:37- Are you free?- Never mind. Never mind.
0:12:37 > 0:12:39- Are you in a rush?- I am.- OK.
0:12:39 > 0:12:43Not only that, they've got to get a secret out of them!
0:12:43 > 0:12:45I'm thinking!
0:12:45 > 0:12:47Not an easy task!
0:12:47 > 0:12:49- You don't have any? Really?- No.
0:12:49 > 0:12:55Especially when you have a very particular idea of who you want to find. Like Freddie and Ben.
0:12:55 > 0:12:58I'd love to find a cute elderly couple.
0:12:58 > 0:13:01Where are the funky dressed people?
0:13:01 > 0:13:04- I have a couple of targets. - No, no. No, no.
0:13:04 > 0:13:06Good luck with that, boys!
0:13:09 > 0:13:12What about Emma and Lindsey? How are they getting on?
0:13:12 > 0:13:15- Excuse me.- I'm talking to people about childhood secrets.
0:13:15 > 0:13:18It's to go on telly for a BBC programme.
0:13:18 > 0:13:21- Would you like to tell me that? - Would you be up for it?- Yeah.
0:13:21 > 0:13:24Ooh, looks like our first interview.
0:13:24 > 0:13:26Does this have to go on, or is it just for fun?
0:13:26 > 0:13:27It might help, Lindsey!
0:13:27 > 0:13:30Here I am, in a bright, sunny Trafalgar Square.
0:13:30 > 0:13:33And today I'm joined by Ben!
0:13:33 > 0:13:36Whoa! Steady on the skates. Hi, Ben!
0:13:37 > 0:13:39Last week, in Judges' HQ,
0:13:39 > 0:13:42Lindsey came under fire for her lack of eye contact.
0:13:42 > 0:13:45You looked at camera twice towards the end there.
0:13:45 > 0:13:49You can't have children at home watching you have a chat.
0:13:49 > 0:13:51Has she taken the judges' advice on board?
0:13:51 > 0:13:56We've been talking about childhood secrets. Do you have one to share with us?
0:13:56 > 0:14:00Um, OK. When I was at school,
0:14:00 > 0:14:04- it was sports day.- Yep. - The first ever sports day.- OK.
0:14:04 > 0:14:10And it was during the 100 metres or something, and my pants fell down!
0:14:10 > 0:14:14Ben, thank you for sharing that embarrassing story with us today.
0:14:14 > 0:14:16And thank you for joining me. Thank you!
0:14:16 > 0:14:20I think I did actually look at the camera a couple of times.
0:14:20 > 0:14:23So if Ceall's counting, hopefully it's more than twice this time!
0:14:23 > 0:14:28Lindsey can now rest easy with her secret in the bag.
0:14:29 > 0:14:31But Freddie and Ben are still struggling.
0:14:32 > 0:14:34Aghh! Pigeon!
0:14:35 > 0:14:38- A little 30-second chat?- No, thanks.
0:14:38 > 0:14:40No?
0:14:40 > 0:14:41It's not what I need right now.
0:14:41 > 0:14:44I'm desperate now. I need anything!
0:14:44 > 0:14:47Watch out, boys. Emma's got herself an interview!
0:14:48 > 0:14:55When I was in year two, I had to run off to the toilet during class.
0:14:55 > 0:14:59Trying to cough up a 20p that I'd just swallowed!
0:14:59 > 0:15:03A week later, when someone was babysitting, it did come out, the other way!
0:15:03 > 0:15:05The other end?!
0:15:06 > 0:15:09Ooh, don't do that at home, people!
0:15:09 > 0:15:12Moving on, let's see what Freddie's finally come up with.
0:15:12 > 0:15:17When you were a child, did you ever do anything naughty you've never told anyone before?
0:15:17 > 0:15:19I did, yes, I did.
0:15:19 > 0:15:20Could you spill that with us today?
0:15:20 > 0:15:22- Of course I can!- Go on, then!
0:15:22 > 0:15:25- There's nobody around. - No-one around!
0:15:25 > 0:15:29I did use to chase lots of girls nobody knew about.
0:15:29 > 0:15:31- Really?- I did, yeah.
0:15:31 > 0:15:33Well, isn't that lovely?
0:15:33 > 0:15:35Right.
0:15:36 > 0:15:39Right. Looks like Ben's come up trumps!
0:15:41 > 0:15:46Last week, Ben was shaken by the judges' criticism of his make.
0:15:46 > 0:15:50- You were very aware of the camera. You were not in control of the situation.- OK.
0:15:50 > 0:15:56I do have to re-establish my confidence and get back in that zone.
0:15:56 > 0:15:58But it's a new day. We'll do this!
0:15:58 > 0:16:03I'm with Sabrina Etherington. She's going to tell me a childhood secret.
0:16:03 > 0:16:05When I was younger and Harry Potter just came out,
0:16:05 > 0:16:10I told my sister she could prove she was a witch if she jumped on the broom and fell out the window!
0:16:10 > 0:16:12So she tried, and then fell,
0:16:12 > 0:16:15- and now she's got a scar on her head!- What?!
0:16:15 > 0:16:20- You did that to her?- Yeah.- Shame on you! Did she forgive you?
0:16:20 > 0:16:23Yeah, her hair grew over it. It's fine!
0:16:23 > 0:16:25Thank you very much, Sabrina!
0:16:25 > 0:16:28Once again, don't do this at home, either!
0:16:28 > 0:16:29So, that's it.
0:16:29 > 0:16:33They took the challenge and done all they can to impress the judges.
0:16:33 > 0:16:38We are so close to finding out who are going to be your final three.
0:16:42 > 0:16:45This is our last time at Judges' HQ.
0:16:45 > 0:16:49Only three of our hopefuls will survive.
0:16:49 > 0:16:52- Here we go.- Final time.- Yes.
0:16:52 > 0:16:54Our expert judges were on location
0:16:54 > 0:16:56to see the hopefuls interview Stooshe.
0:16:56 > 0:17:00But they must still assess the fours' final talent test.
0:17:00 > 0:17:03They've been married for 25 years.
0:17:03 > 0:17:07Three left in just a few moments' time. Who do you think will go?
0:17:07 > 0:17:10Every week has been a surprise.
0:17:10 > 0:17:13It's what the judges are looking for. What they want to see.
0:17:13 > 0:17:16He says he comes across well on camera.
0:17:16 > 0:17:19I thought that was for us to decide!
0:17:19 > 0:17:22- What are the nerves like today, compared to other weeks?- Awful!
0:17:22 > 0:17:24I'm smiling, but I want to cry!
0:17:26 > 0:17:31Today the judges will make the crucial decision. Who to choose for their final three.
0:17:32 > 0:17:36She's very confident that she brings something the others don't bring.
0:17:36 > 0:17:39How would it feel if you were in the last three?
0:17:39 > 0:17:46To make it this far has been incredible. But to make it to the final three, literally speechless!
0:17:46 > 0:17:52This is the one that matters. The rest were leading to this point of being voted as the next presenter.
0:17:57 > 0:18:02- Hello, you four!- This is the last time you'll be judged on your talent test.
0:18:02 > 0:18:03Ready?
0:18:03 > 0:18:06'There's only one badge on offer.
0:18:06 > 0:18:11'Only one of them can succeed and become the next Blue Peter presenter.'
0:18:11 > 0:18:14Very good to see you.
0:18:14 > 0:18:16We welcome you for the last time
0:18:16 > 0:18:18to Judges' HQ.
0:18:19 > 0:18:25After this, the three of you who remain will be in the hands of the CBBC viewers
0:18:25 > 0:18:29who will decide who the next Blue Peter presenter will be.
0:18:30 > 0:18:35So, for the final time, Ben, would you please step forward?
0:18:38 > 0:18:41- Final elimination day.- Yep.
0:18:41 > 0:18:43- How are you feeling?- Mixed emotions.
0:18:43 > 0:18:46I feel really pleased I made it this far,
0:18:46 > 0:18:48but I want this job more than anything,
0:18:48 > 0:18:51so there's that side of it as well. I'm nervous about that.
0:18:51 > 0:18:54- Good. Let's have a look at your talent test.- Let's do it.
0:18:54 > 0:18:58- What music do you like? - We like everything!
0:18:58 > 0:19:01Alex loves Motown. Karis is a fashion baby.
0:19:04 > 0:19:06You need to bring me on tour!
0:19:06 > 0:19:11We did get a sense you were enjoying what you were doing. No sign of nervousness.
0:19:11 > 0:19:14I thought it was a really good fun thing, with the dancing.
0:19:14 > 0:19:17From what we were watching, we did feel you were their friend.
0:19:17 > 0:19:19Verging on sycophant!
0:19:19 > 0:19:25- I only know one of their songs! - You asked to go on tour with them five times!
0:19:25 > 0:19:26Five times?!
0:19:26 > 0:19:33We want you to be a presenter, get the interview. Not let them feel like "Who let the super fan in?"
0:19:33 > 0:19:38Ben, I think you have got a lot of ability.
0:19:38 > 0:19:43But you still have things to learn.
0:19:43 > 0:19:47- Thank you very much.- Thank you. - Rejoin the group.- Thank you so much.
0:19:49 > 0:19:51Emma?
0:19:51 > 0:19:52Hello.
0:19:52 > 0:19:59Beth thinks she has a childhood secret she's never told anybody before.
0:19:59 > 0:20:01- Shall we hear it?- OK, then.
0:20:01 > 0:20:03Very engaging, very warm.
0:20:03 > 0:20:08- But I have a problem.- Mm-hmm? - What's different about you?
0:20:09 > 0:20:15I'm not sure. I hope I bring a different kind of personality.
0:20:15 > 0:20:17How did you find engaging with Stooshe?
0:20:17 > 0:20:22I didn't know how it would go, really, so I was really nervous.
0:20:22 > 0:20:26The level you have to be at to match those other presenters,
0:20:26 > 0:20:28the legend that is Blue Peter,
0:20:28 > 0:20:31it's like winning a golden ticket.
0:20:31 > 0:20:34It really is.
0:20:34 > 0:20:37So we need you to be winning the race. Can you do it?
0:20:37 > 0:20:39I think so, yes!
0:20:41 > 0:20:43Freddie, you're up next.
0:20:43 > 0:20:46So, how has this whole process been for you?
0:20:46 > 0:20:50I feel like I started off as a very rough stone
0:20:50 > 0:20:54and I've tried my hardest to become a professional TV presenter.
0:20:54 > 0:20:57'I used to chase lots of girls nobody knew about.'
0:20:57 > 0:21:00- Really?!- I did, yes.
0:21:00 > 0:21:04Intriguing. How about that. Thanks for your time. It's been a pleasure.
0:21:06 > 0:21:08I felt it wasn't what we'd seen earlier in you.
0:21:08 > 0:21:11You didn't bring it to life for me.
0:21:11 > 0:21:13I felt we lost a bit of you in that.
0:21:13 > 0:21:15If you do get through to the viewer vote,
0:21:15 > 0:21:20the danger with you is you will be like Marmite.
0:21:20 > 0:21:24They will either love you or switch off from you.
0:21:24 > 0:21:27That's interesting, cos I don't feel that remotely.
0:21:27 > 0:21:30- Where it did work for me, was your Stooshe interview.- Yes.
0:21:30 > 0:21:35It was fantastic. It was fun. They felt warm around you, comfortable.
0:21:35 > 0:21:37That is where you found your balance.
0:21:37 > 0:21:39Lindsey, come and join us.
0:21:42 > 0:21:45- Steady on the skateboard! Hi, Ben! How you doing?- I'm good.
0:21:45 > 0:21:49Do you have a childhood secret to share with us?
0:21:49 > 0:21:53Um, it was sports day, and quite literally, my pants fell down!
0:21:55 > 0:21:59- What do you think?- I was nervous doing this week
0:21:59 > 0:22:02cos I haven't had lots of positive comments, so the pressure was on.
0:22:02 > 0:22:05But it was the week that I've had the most fun.
0:22:05 > 0:22:09Funny you say that, because I feel this has been your best week as well.
0:22:09 > 0:22:11The interviews there were top notch.
0:22:11 > 0:22:13You calmed yourself. The attention was on you.
0:22:13 > 0:22:17You spoke to your interviewee. Short, sweet, concise. Perfect.
0:22:17 > 0:22:21Lindsey, you scraped into this round by the skin of your teeth.
0:22:21 > 0:22:25And you had more to prove than anyone else.
0:22:25 > 0:22:27I think not only have you done that,
0:22:27 > 0:22:33but you've shown the greatest improvement of any of the hopefuls this week.
0:22:33 > 0:22:34Thank you!
0:22:36 > 0:22:41Guys, before we hand you over to the CBBC viewers,
0:22:41 > 0:22:44we must lose one of you.
0:22:44 > 0:22:47I have to ask you now to please step outside
0:22:47 > 0:22:50while we debate who has to go.
0:22:58 > 0:23:01You wouldn't say any of you have come out of that thinking, "I'm through".
0:23:01 > 0:23:04- Oh, no.- Because you all had a lot of criticism.
0:23:04 > 0:23:07There was a lot of criticism, yes.
0:23:07 > 0:23:09What just happened was emotional.
0:23:09 > 0:23:11The judges are emotional, we're emotional.
0:23:11 > 0:23:16I think you can guarantee the thought of them three agreeing with each other right now
0:23:16 > 0:23:18is very, very unlikely.
0:23:18 > 0:23:21I'm genuinely very nervous about going in front of the judges again
0:23:21 > 0:23:25because above all the others, this is the one that means the most.
0:23:27 > 0:23:28There's so much pressure.
0:23:28 > 0:23:31Don't know what's going to happen.
0:23:33 > 0:23:37Think of how big a pair of shoes they're stepping into.
0:23:37 > 0:23:38Do they deserve to wear that badge?
0:23:38 > 0:23:43Not purely on ability, but on personality and on being a role model.
0:23:44 > 0:23:47- This guy.- Agreed.
0:23:48 > 0:23:50Can this person be directed?
0:23:51 > 0:23:54- If I'd asked you last week, you would have said no.- I agree.
0:23:56 > 0:23:59That leaves these two as the last two standing.
0:23:59 > 0:24:03- Who goes through?- This person. - Let's get them in.
0:24:05 > 0:24:09So this is it. I can't imagine how hard their hearts are pounding!
0:24:14 > 0:24:17This is it. Decision time.
0:24:21 > 0:24:27I can honestly tell you that this week has been our hardest decision to make yet.
0:24:27 > 0:24:30Would all four of you please step forward?
0:24:36 > 0:24:40We can only put three people through to the final.
0:24:43 > 0:24:45And that time has come now.
0:24:47 > 0:24:49You're unique, you're different.
0:24:49 > 0:24:52It makes you stand out.
0:24:54 > 0:24:59So, Freddie, you've made it through to next week. Well done.
0:25:03 > 0:25:05Thank you. Thank you so much.
0:25:14 > 0:25:19You took a while to show us what you've really got.
0:25:22 > 0:25:25But thankfully you showed us just in the nick of time.
0:25:32 > 0:25:33Lindsey...
0:25:35 > 0:25:37..you're through.
0:25:37 > 0:25:38Oh, God!
0:25:41 > 0:25:44- BEN:- Well done.
0:25:56 > 0:26:00Ben and Emma, this is not easy.
0:26:00 > 0:26:04It leaves the two of you and only one place.
0:26:06 > 0:26:10This is a verdict that, believe me, we do not want to deliver.
0:26:12 > 0:26:14Ben,
0:26:14 > 0:26:17you're a confident guy.
0:26:18 > 0:26:20Perhaps you're over-confident.
0:26:24 > 0:26:26Emma, you've been consistently good.
0:26:26 > 0:26:29But have you been good enough?
0:26:35 > 0:26:36We have decided...
0:26:40 > 0:26:42..Ben...
0:26:45 > 0:26:51..we believe that you've got something worth taking a risk on.
0:26:53 > 0:26:55And that means you are through.
0:26:55 > 0:26:58Emma, we are so sorry for you.
0:26:58 > 0:27:01But your Blue Peter journey ends here.
0:27:02 > 0:27:05- Thanks.- Thank you very much indeed. Thank you.- Thank you.
0:27:13 > 0:27:15I'm really upset, obviously.
0:27:15 > 0:27:17But obviously the judges saw something good in me
0:27:17 > 0:27:21so who knows what the future may bring?
0:27:21 > 0:27:23Hopefully something good!
0:27:24 > 0:27:29Lindsey and Freddie, please come and join Ben and celebrate
0:27:29 > 0:27:31because any one of you three
0:27:31 > 0:27:34could still be the new Blue Peter presenter.
0:27:34 > 0:27:39You go through to the viewers' vote on CBBC. Congratulations!
0:27:39 > 0:27:40Thank you!
0:27:42 > 0:27:44It felt amazing. I'm so happy!
0:27:44 > 0:27:47This is the best thing that's ever happened to me!
0:27:47 > 0:27:48Woo-hoo!
0:27:51 > 0:27:55Next week, the chosen three make it to the Blue Peter studio.
0:27:55 > 0:27:57I can't believe this!
0:27:58 > 0:28:00Where there's a real surprise in store!
