:09:18. > :09:32.

:09:47. > :09:54.Bruno, I heard you shouting disgraceful when you heard that
:09:54. > :09:58.result, you weren't happy. Five?! If you are judging for effort you
:09:58. > :10:04.would get a ten. Unfortunately, the two dances are the opposite end of
:10:04. > :10:07.the spectrum. So combining the two is very hard but if you wants to
:10:07. > :10:14.carry on he really has to nail it, it's hard but he has to do it.
:10:14. > :10:23.Cheers, Bruno. Over to you, Claudia. Thank you so much, Tess. It's
:10:23. > :10:27.getting quieter up here but I have two couples who are so, so happy! I

:10:39. > :10:43.and he got it out for you. We still are a little bit in shock. Can you
:10:43. > :10:48.tell? I can. Pasha, huge congratulations, the judges said

:15:22. > :15:26.Please welcome the judges! Thank you so much. You can stop now,
:15:26. > :15:36.darling. Thank you so much, Bruno. I have said it before, we are not
:15:36. > :15:36.
:15:36. > :15:43.doing it alone, we are doing it with Len's Lens! This is a fusion
:15:43. > :15:48.detail. Look at him. A fusion. We are going to start off, if it's all
:15:48. > :15:52.right, talking about the magnificent Kimberley and Pasha.
:15:52. > :15:57.They were amazing. One of my favourite bits is when Craig gave
:15:57. > :16:07.his score. Look at your face, Darcey. No one's more shocked.
:16:07. > :16:17.
:16:17. > :16:22.It's a full house! A lovely moment, I bet. Very, very.
:16:22. > :16:26.It was fantastic. It was fabulous. She deserved it. It was a wonderful
:16:27. > :16:31.moment F we look at close-ups. Explain why it was perfect. You
:16:31. > :16:36.said it was the transition, I believe. What was wonderful, she
:16:36. > :16:43.captured the mood of each dance. Here she goes, she has wonderful
:16:43. > :16:50.expression. It's joyful and fun. Now into the tango. And then there
:16:50. > :16:59.she goes. You know, she's been stuck on 34, 34, suddenly wallop,
:16:59. > :17:06.40. So deserved. Sharp, crisp tango. Fun and it was an absolute perfect
:17:06. > :17:11.blend. OK. Absolutely. APPLAUSE Yeah. Darcey, is it all right if I
:17:11. > :17:17.talk to you about Louis. You talked about his shaping. Let's have a
:17:17. > :17:21.look at how he moved from one dance seamlessly to the next. He has the
:17:21. > :17:26.ability to have that control and the rumba has to have that and he
:17:26. > :17:34.had the most beautiful arms. This is obviously the tango. And the
:17:34. > :17:38.shaping is fabulous. Talking of arms, thank you, Bruno. Talking of
:17:38. > :17:46.arms, they're so difficult to do. Let's have a reminder. He has very
:17:46. > :17:54.long arms. He reaches to parts nobody else can reach. Look at this.
:17:54. > :18:00.Lovely! Very well placed. But very long. But very tender. Tender and
:18:00. > :18:04.long! Craig, let's talk to you about Denise and James. She's two
:18:04. > :18:08.different flicks and that's so clever. It is, I thought the
:18:08. > :18:13.routine was fantastic and of course this is her jive section and she's
:18:13. > :18:18.really great at doing all those kicks and the retraction. I just
:18:18. > :18:23.adored it up until the point where her heel... That's the moment. Poor
:18:23. > :18:28.girl. She recovered brilliantly. think her leg literally was too
:18:28. > :18:31.high. That was the problem with it. I don't know it was too high, I
:18:32. > :18:36.think it was one of those things. You could equally say the dress was
:18:36. > :18:42.too long. Don't pick on her. Len, in dancing as you know, you have to
:18:42. > :18:49.be aware of your costume. Dani and Vincent. Look how happy you are.
:18:49. > :18:55.Bruno, let's have a clip. Absolute and utter joy. She just did it
:18:55. > :19:02.beautifully. It was absolutely perfect styleistically. They were
:19:02. > :19:07.so in tune. Look at this. As a final clip of joyful part of
:19:07. > :19:16.Saturday night was a transition with Lisa and Robin. Look at her
:19:16. > :19:22.face! She's so adorable. If anyone captures the feel and the love of
:19:22. > :19:25.dance, it's Lisa. It's just wonderful. OK. Thank you so much,
:19:25. > :19:30.the judges! APPLAUSE AND CHEERING Thank you.
:19:30. > :19:37.Now, next week it's the semifinal. How will our final five cope with
:19:37. > :19:42.doing the double? Yes, you heard, that's two dances in one week.
:19:42. > :19:45.After all this work and this time it's the semifinal. Oh my goodness,
:19:45. > :19:50.it's the semifinals next week. can't believe it's actually here.
:19:50. > :19:52.The semifinal. It's a daunting prospect. When you are in the
:19:52. > :19:57.semifinals winning the competition really seems like a reality.
:19:57. > :20:00.have two dances, two dances in one week. Not only have we got to learn
:20:01. > :20:04.them, we have to learn them good. It's hard enough to learn one, let
:20:04. > :20:10.alone two. Good luck everyone. do you even start two dances in six
:20:10. > :20:13.days? The dances have to be perfect. There's so much pressure on the
:20:13. > :20:16.semifinal. The pressure's building and building. It's all in the feet.
:20:16. > :20:21.It's crunch time. Can you stop going on about the semifinal?
:20:21. > :20:27.pressure. Pressure. Pressure. pressure. I know it's the semifinal.
:20:27. > :20:31.Argh! We all know, you said it enough, stop, stop! No!
:20:31. > :20:35.We are expecting perfection. The pressure will really be on next
:20:35. > :20:39.week. I can't wait. Talking of pressure, three couples are still
:20:39. > :20:44.awaiting their fate. Two are safe, one will have to dance again to
:20:44. > :20:51.convince the judges to keep them in the competition. Who will it be?
:20:51. > :21:01.Cue music! In no particular order, dancing
:21:01. > :21:05.
:21:05. > :21:15.again next week are aps Lisa and Robin!
:21:15. > :21:26.
:21:26. > :21:32.So, that means Denise and James, and Louis and Flavia, one of you is
:21:32. > :21:35.through to the semifinal. One of you is in the dance-off. I can
:21:35. > :21:45.reveal that the couple in the bottom two tonight who will compete
:21:45. > :21:48.
:21:48. > :21:52.in the dance-off is... It's Denise and James.
:21:52. > :21:59.Louis and Flavia, congratulations, you are through to the semifinal.
:21:59. > :22:02.APPLAUSE AND CHEERING Darcey, Denise started off in this
:22:02. > :22:07.competition as one of the strongest contenders, one of the favourites.
:22:07. > :22:13.She has had a couple of wobbles in recent weeks. What can she now do
:22:13. > :22:18.to ensure a place in the semifinal? I am so shocked haoe's even --
:22:18. > :22:22.she's even here, it's crazy. Her consistency has been incredible. I
:22:22. > :22:28.could only say from Saturday night one foot got stuck but that was it.
:22:28. > :22:33.Go out and enjoy yourself. Please, Denise. Thank you, Darcey. Over to
:22:33. > :22:38.you, Claudia. Thank you so much. I am here with our final two safe
:22:38. > :22:43.couples. Well done to both of you. Your reaction, I don't know who was
:22:43. > :22:48.crying more, you or Robin. Honestly, it was ridiculous. Can I say
:22:48. > :22:52.officially you can now take your lucky elastic band off. Lisa does
:22:52. > :22:56.this every ruplts show until -- results show until your finger goes
:22:56. > :23:00.blue. Don't do it at home! But it has worked. How nervous are you
:23:00. > :23:03.about next week and the semifinal and two dances? It's really nerve-
:23:03. > :23:08.racking. I only had one on Saturday night and you know, I messed that
:23:08. > :23:12.up, as well. I am going to knuckle down this week, I promise. We are
:23:12. > :23:15.nearly in the final, it's amazing! Talking of the final, you clever
:23:15. > :23:19.boy, Louis, because you have always been brilliant and it feels like
:23:19. > :23:23.you and Flavia at the last moment went, yeah, we are going to the
:23:23. > :23:29.neck level and you steamed -- to the next next level and you steamed
:23:29. > :23:33.through. Performance has always been my downside and it was scary
:23:33. > :23:37.very nearly in the dance-off. right, huge congratulations to both
:23:37. > :23:41.couples. Remember, you don't have to wait until next Saturday to see
:23:41. > :23:44.how our couples are getting on in training you can catch them all on
:23:44. > :23:49.the brilliant It Takes Two along with more Strictly treats. Over to
:23:49. > :23:59.the lovely Zoe. Do you want to join the Strictly party? Then tune in to
:23:59. > :24:03.
:24:03. > :24:08.It Takes Two, we have great guests. And lots of dancing. And plenty of
:24:08. > :24:17.gossip. Did you nearly cry? didn't, I was upset. You cried like
:24:17. > :24:22.a baby. Tell me more. Who is that? Let's speak no more.
:24:22. > :24:28.Calm down! Get on with the show. make sure your name's on the list
:24:28. > :24:33.join us at 6.30pm on BBC2 every night. Go on, you know you want to.
:24:33. > :24:38.I am here with Denise and James and Nicky and Karen. You two look so
:24:38. > :24:41.sad under that red light. We are sad. Very sad. I am upset that I
:24:41. > :24:45.think that because Denise has worked so hard we have put in more
:24:45. > :24:49.hours than anybody else. It's a fact. It doesn't come easily and
:24:49. > :24:52.naturally to Denise like everybody thinks, she's this trained dancer,
:24:52. > :24:55.I can assure you she's not. She went to stage school and stopped
:24:55. > :24:59.when she was 13. There's been so much expectation on both of us and
:24:59. > :25:03.I think that you are amazing. I know you have a little girl who you
:25:04. > :25:08.haven't been seeing and... Don't, because I will start crying.
:25:08. > :25:18.two are so sweet. Listen, good luck. I know it's hard to dance when you
:25:18. > :25:19.
:25:19. > :25:25.are sad. Please go and get into position. Massive luck. Thank you.
:25:25. > :25:29.Nicky, you have been in this position before. Every week.
:25:29. > :25:35.every week, but how sad are you to be here again? It's never nice to
:25:35. > :25:42.be here, you know, and unlike Denise I am a trained dancer!
:25:42. > :25:46.LAUGHTER. He went from sitting on a stool to dancing. Sometimes he got
:25:46. > :25:50.tprup the stool, we must never forget that. Enormous luck. With
:25:50. > :25:53.two weeks to the final of Strictly for both couples this next dance
:25:53. > :25:56.really matters. First to go in front of the judges and perform
:25:56. > :26:06.their dance fusion again, please show your support for Denise and
:26:06. > :26:06.
:26:06. > :27:54.Apology for the loss of subtitles for 138 seconds
:27:54. > :27:57.James! The judges will soon decide which
:27:58. > :28:01.couple hit the spot and who missed the mark. They are dancing for the
:28:01. > :28:11.last remaining place in the semifinal, please give it up for
:28:11. > :28:11.
:28:11. > :30:03.Apology for the loss of subtitles for 138 seconds
:30:03. > :30:07.Nicky and Karen! Well done to both of you. There's
:30:07. > :30:11.no more either of you can do. It's time to find out who impressed the
:30:11. > :30:20.most and who's made the final five. One couple will dance again next
:30:20. > :30:22.week. Judges, it's time to decide. We are about to ask each of you the
:30:22. > :30:26.name of the couple you think deserves to be saved. The couple
:30:26. > :30:30.with the most votes will stay in the competition and the other
:30:30. > :30:35.couple is out of Strictly and in the event of a tie head judge Len
:30:35. > :30:45.will have that casting vote. Denise and James and Nicky and Karen, this
:30:45. > :30:50.
:30:50. > :30:54.is it. Best of luck to both of you. to Denise and James. Darcey, who do
:30:54. > :30:58.you think deserves a place in the semifinal? They were both very
:30:58. > :31:02.strong performances, but I am going to save Denise and James.
:31:02. > :31:09.Two votes for Denise and James. If Bruno now saves you that means you
:31:09. > :31:12.are indeed through the semifinal. Bruno, who are your semifinalists?
:31:12. > :31:16.They both improved but the outstanding couple for me is Denise
:31:16. > :31:19.and James. That means we are going to have to say goodbye to Nicky and
:31:19. > :31:27.Karen. Please come and join us.
:31:28. > :31:32.Denise and James, we will see you Len, it makes no difference, do you
:31:32. > :31:36.agree with your judges? Denise and James, as well. Thank you very much.
:31:36. > :31:41.Nicky and Karen, they're on their feet in the studio. APPLAUSE AND
:31:41. > :31:46.CHEERING You have been absolutely amazing. Hasn't he just? We are
:31:46. > :31:50.really going to miss you. I think that's heartfelt. It really is.
:31:50. > :31:54.It's been a rollercoaster ride for you but you have had some
:31:54. > :31:58.incredible highs. You really pulled it out of the bag. What have you
:31:58. > :32:01.enjoyed the most? It's so much fun, it's the biggest and best show in
:32:01. > :32:06.the world. To come out here every Saturday night is hard but it's
:32:06. > :32:09.been amazing. Karen, every week, every day has been absolutely
