:06:07. > :06:14.please. It's showtime. Don't start without me. I'm here.
:06:14. > :06:24.We're going live, baby! Going live. The samba is a party dance. I've
:06:24. > :06:26.
:06:26. > :06:32.got to say you got this party started. I'm so happy. Charming and
:06:32. > :06:38.bubblier than baby cham. You set the story of the dance up
:06:38. > :06:45.brilliantly. The feel of the dance, the mood of the dance and the
:06:46. > :06:55.intensity of the dance was spot on. Nine! I allow you to smile from now
:06:56. > :06:59.
:06:59. > :07:03.It was a bit light. I'm going to call you a light Victoria sponge.
:07:03. > :07:09.The candy sticks had more fluidity. It's brilliant how you got together
:07:09. > :07:15.for those lifts. I tried my best. My best in this competition is the
:07:15. > :07:21.bottom of the leaderboard. You've got it all to give. But I lost the
:07:21. > :07:27.story telling in that. You've got great lines. You have got presence.
:07:27. > :07:37.This was... Nothing going on. you to move up the leaderboard you
:07:37. > :07:37.
:07:37. > :07:41.have to learn to act these dances. Nice, but not overwhelming. I don't
:07:41. > :07:48.think it's a dance that actually suits you. But I thought you danced
:07:48. > :07:54.it well. Don't really like this one. I'll
:07:54. > :08:00.make them smile next week, if we get through. Oh, boy, yes, we will.
:08:00. > :08:06.Basically, I think it lacked any sort of resistance and lead. It was
:08:06. > :08:10.a full routine, the lifts were good. That drag across. The spin on the
:08:10. > :08:20.floor. You tried hard, but it didn't come to an Argentine tango,
:08:20. > :08:26.That suited you down to the ground. That is your best yet. It was magic.
:08:26. > :08:36.I loved it. Bottom two last week, I tell you what, you're going to be
:08:36. > :08:42.
:08:42. > :08:46.That was graceful, musical. You are a pleasure to watch. The look of it
:08:46. > :08:54.was class. For me, it was perfection.
:08:54. > :08:59.Ten! We got a ten, which a great. know.
:08:59. > :09:02.We've got Denise again top of the leaderboard. Nicki has had a vast
:09:03. > :09:08.improvement and shot right up it. We have poor Victoria down at the
:09:08. > :09:12.bottom. Bottom line, it was a fabulous show. I actually enjoyed
:09:12. > :09:17.myself. You did. I saw that smile. I was smiling.
:09:17. > :09:27.Oh, dear what a night. But who will be the lucky seven to get through
:09:27. > :09:28.
:09:28. > :09:38.to next week and whose luck has In no particular order, the first
:09:38. > :09:40.
:09:40. > :09:50.couple safely through to next week is... Kimberly and Pasha.
:09:50. > :10:08.
:10:08. > :10:18.Surviving another week is... Louis and Flavia.

:10:45. > :10:55.Also safe is... Nicki and Karin! And now the first couple in the
:10:55. > :11:02.
:11:02. > :11:07.dance-off, who will dance again for survival, is... Michael and Natalie.
:11:07. > :11:13.The rest of you relax for now. We'll hear who joins Michael and
:11:13. > :11:17.Natalie a little bit later. Now Bruno, on Saturday night, you
:11:17. > :11:22.said that you couldn't see the relationship between Michael and
:11:22. > :11:25.Natalie. So what can he now do this time around to sell it to you?
:11:25. > :11:29.Argentine tango is all about purpose, story telling, passion.
:11:30. > :11:33.Every step has to have a meaning. He has to come out here and tell a
:11:33. > :11:38.story as well. You cannot just do a sequence of steps. You have to play
:11:38. > :11:44.it and get us involved into it. If he does that, he will do well.
:11:44. > :11:48.has to perform. Thank you Bruno. Over to you Claudia.
:11:48. > :11:52.Thank you. Three happy couples. Over the moon, Nicki, the reaction,
:11:52. > :11:56.your reaction was extraordinary. Did you think, I've done everything,
:11:56. > :12:00.even though Craig gave me a nine, I'm probably in the dance-off?
:12:00. > :12:04.last week I was that close to going home. Kimberly the week before, she
:12:04. > :12:07.came out fighting. That's what I had to do this week. That's what we
:12:07. > :12:13.did. To get four nines, I haven't had one nine this series, so I'm
:12:13. > :12:17.delighted stkhr. Well don. -- Well done. The judges were
:12:17. > :12:21.bonkers on Saturday night when it came to you, they say they wanted
:12:21. > :12:25.more oomph. Due think this might be your final week? I think it's
:12:25. > :12:29.getting to that point in the competition where we all think that.
:12:29. > :12:39.You know, really I tried to step it up after Wembley. You did. You were
:12:39. > :12:44.What are you doing next week? Charleston. Come on. Kimberly, your
:12:44. > :12:48.scream, there are dolphins... There are dolphins who heard you,
:12:48. > :12:54.who went "What's happened, Walsh is through." Are you over the moon?
:12:55. > :12:58.was a little offer the top, maybe, but I was so, so relieved. Huge
:12:58. > :13:02.congratulations. Now if you want to watch more dancing and hear the
:13:02. > :13:09.latest gossip from all our couples, this is where you join in the fun.
:13:10. > :13:15.Join us on It Takes Two. We are jam packed with dance.
:13:15. > :13:19.Our gossip is freshly squeezed. This is based on a Jewish bread
:13:19. > :13:25.What? We've had that on the bake Ovcharov. How delicious are you?
:13:25. > :13:30.How long have you got? Our guests are wholesome... Mostly. Out of the
:13:30. > :13:36.doors, James is coming through. is a multitude of ruffles. It's
:13:36. > :13:40.been good fun. You've given me such courage. The best is yet to come.
:13:40. > :13:44.Never peak prematurely. If you like your Strictly supersized, tune in
:13:44. > :13:47.every weeknight at 6.30pm on BBC two.
:13:47. > :13:52.It's time to welcome the judges. APPLAUSE
:13:52. > :14:01.We love you all. I've said it before, I'll say it again, you four
:14:01. > :14:05.are a gang, but you need the fifth member. It's time for Len's Lens.
:14:05. > :14:09.This is where we see the close-ups, the nitty gritty. By the way how
:14:09. > :14:19.beautiful was that. Gorgeous, gorgeous. I want to illustrate to
:14:19. > :14:23.the group, look at that, lovely, a stroke. OK. Oh, no.
:14:23. > :14:26.I hate Len's Lens. We're going to be friendly. You'll like this. I
:14:26. > :14:32.want to illustrate to the group how you arrive. You would think some
:14:32. > :14:36.Beryl, straightforward, hello to the audience and -- somberly,
:14:36. > :14:43.straightforward and hello to the audience. This is how the Goodman
:14:43. > :14:47.gets to the floor. A Botti smack. Yes. You were very hard on Louis I
:14:47. > :14:51.think. You said he wasn't man enough. He wasn't. I tell you what
:14:51. > :14:57.the problem is, he's got a great personality when you chat to him.
:14:57. > :15:01.He doesn't bring that personality out onto the floor. Every dance is
:15:01. > :15:06.a sort of blankish. Every dance has got a character and he has to show
:15:06. > :15:16.I love you, but I believe you might be wrong. Have a look at this. This
:15:16. > :15:22.Look he is actually snarling! What more do you want? Even I have a
:15:22. > :15:27.moment of passion now and again. It was a moment of passion in a whole
:15:28. > :15:33.routine. No! As much as I like him and I do, I love old Louis, it
:15:33. > :15:38.didn't have enough fire. OK. That's Louis. What I love is you said,
:15:38. > :15:44.Darcey, Nicky's dance reminded you of the movie The Artist, so we have
:15:44. > :15:52.made this for you. He should be an actor. I love it.
:15:52. > :15:55.That's his next job. Super-cute. Isn't he adorable? We have him
:15:56. > :16:01.doing the Charleston and his face, let's run it. You will see how
:16:01. > :16:06.happy he is. Just perfect. Look at that little Irish face. Quirky,
:16:06. > :16:10.cheeky, fun. Why was it so brilliant? That's a performance.
:16:10. > :16:15.Craig, I think you had the moment on Saturday night. Everything
:16:15. > :16:21.stopped. Here we go. I love your hand shaping on Pasha's
:16:21. > :16:31.back there, the thumb was nicely placed into the crack of his...
:16:31. > :16:35.
:16:35. > :16:42.LAUGHTER Armpit! In there, in the crack.
:16:42. > :16:47.me show you this, let's have a clip. This is what you mean, just to be
:16:47. > :16:55.clear. Talk me through it, Craig. lot of people end up slipping into
:16:55. > :16:59.a normal ballroom hold rather than a tango hold and if your thumb is
:16:59. > :17:06.wedged firmly in, then you are in safe hands. Look at the pout! She's
:17:06. > :17:14.mean. She's got a great pout. let me ask you about Dani's samba.
:17:14. > :17:20.It opened the show. Oh, yes! Look at the Beyonce Diva. She put her
:17:20. > :17:29.own spin to it but the samba was excellent. Sorry! Quite. While most
:17:29. > :17:38.of the cameras were on Dani, we did have Len's lens on you. # All the
:17:38. > :17:43.single ladies... I loved it. Our other favourite bit
:17:43. > :17:52.that you have to explain to us is when you were scoring Lisa, quite
:17:52. > :18:01.harshly, you two got the giggles. Here's a reminder. Look at 2002!
:18:01. > :18:07.-- look at you two! Literally weeping with the Goodman. Explain.
:18:07. > :18:12.He turned, in shock, and went oh! couldn't stop. We couldn't stop
:18:12. > :18:16.laughing. It's pathetic. I am pleased we now know what it was
:18:16. > :18:20.about. Let's hear it for the brilliant judges!
:18:20. > :18:24.APPLAUSE Skap APPLAUSE Now it's time for more
:18:24. > :18:28.spotlights and dramatic music. Tess. Thank you, Claudia.
:18:28. > :18:32.There are only three guaranteed places in next week's show, one
:18:32. > :18:40.couple will have to dance again to decide their fate. But who will
:18:40. > :18:50.join Michael and Natalie in the dance-off? It's time to find out.
:18:50. > :18:56.
:18:56. > :19:06.In no particular order, safely through to next week are...
:19:06. > :19:25.

:19:35. > :19:43.
:19:43. > :19:49.Denise and James! APPLAUSE AND That means Victoria and Brendan,
:19:49. > :19:53.and Lisa and Robin, one of you is safe and one of you is in the
:19:53. > :20:02.dance-off. I can reveal that the couple in the bottom two tonight
:20:02. > :20:10.who will compete in the dance-off is...
:20:10. > :20:17.It's Victoria and Brendan. Lisa and Robin, congratulations.
:20:17. > :20:21.You are through to next Saturday. APPLAUSE Now, Darcey, this is
:20:21. > :20:25.Victoria's first time in the dance- off. On Saturday night you praised
:20:25. > :20:30.her armography and her core strength. What can she now bring to
:20:30. > :20:33.her dance to save her? Well, firstly, really listen to the music.
:20:33. > :20:37.That's so important to keep that rhythm going and have a party but
:20:37. > :20:42.most important, is to enjoy it and have fun. I want to see the party
:20:42. > :20:45.in that salsa. Right. You want to see the party dance come to life.
:20:45. > :20:50.Let's hope she can do it. Over to you, Claudia. Thank you. I am with
:20:50. > :20:56.our three final safe couples. The atmosphere - you are all shaking.
:20:56. > :21:00.Petrified. And slightly teary. How relieved are you? You did a
:21:00. > :21:03.brilliant samba on Saturday? I am so relieved, that's the worst
:21:03. > :21:07.experience. I hate that bit. We should not do that. All right, I
:21:07. > :21:13.will ask the bosses and see thousand works -- see thousand
:21:13. > :21:16.works. -- and see how it works. felt really sick. My heart was
:21:16. > :21:20.going so fast. It's the worst feeling waiting to hear. What I
:21:20. > :21:25.love, can I share with the group, while that music was going James
:21:25. > :21:28.went, it's us. It was down to the last three, because of the last two
:21:28. > :21:31.weeks with Kimberley in the bottom two and Nicky, anything is possible.
:21:31. > :21:34.You are not the top of the leaderboard, it doesn't mean
:21:34. > :21:38.anything. The public have a strong power. Thank you for voting for us
:21:38. > :21:42.and keeping us in because I am loving Strictly. It's the best.

:21:46. > :21:49.that we have got through but obviously our score was low and the
