Week 2 Results Strictly Come Dancing

APPLAUSE AND CHEERING This is Strictly Come Dancing: The

Apology for the loss of subtitles for 156 seconds

Results. Please welcome our From Television Centre please

welcome your hosts, Tess Daly and Claudia Winkleman.

APPLAUSE AND CHEERING What an amazing start to our first

Strictly Results show of 2012. Claudia, you are back! Thank you

very much for having me. Pleasure. Yes, we are back and we have an

action-packed show tonight with more dancing. Drama and it's also

back, please don't panic, the dance-off. AUDIENCE: Oh! That's

right it's scary but true our famous 14 will become 13 tonight as

sadly one couple will be leaving at the end of the show. Your votes

have been combined with the judges' scores and the two couples with the

lowest overall points will compete in a ballroom battle to stay in

Strictly Come Dancing. So the pressure is on. But not only for

our couples. Yes, judges, I am talking to you! Please welcome,

Craig, Darcey, Len and Bruno! APPLAUSE

Len, Lord of the dance, all the couples have done one Latin and one

ballroom. The dance-off is back. Are you personally delirious?

because what I like it keeps the integrity of the show. It is a

dancing competition. We try to be honest. The viewers can be kind or

whatever. But the thing to remember is this, what's been in the past is

gone. It's all to do with those two dances. Love it. Also on the show

tonight we will all feel like dancing later as the Scissor

Sisters will be performing right here. APPLAUSE. Aur fan. I am. The

judges will be joining me later for the return of the all-seeing Len's

Lens. AUDIENCE: Oh! But first, on Saturday night there were lots of

highs and lows both on stage and back stage. Talking of back stage,

I think I saw someone else poking It's live! I am so nervous. Pivot,

pivot. Your lovely dance partner. No! That's beautiful make-up. Close

your eyes. Oh! Have a good show. Oh, you're on

fire. This is amazing! How do you feel about your dance

tonight? Very, very nervous. I am scared tonight. Are you nervous?

Only my right foot is nervous. The left foot is fine. You know we all

get nervous. Yeah, petrified. scared enough already. Good luck!

Thank you. Four minutes! I can't wait to let rip, darling!

Bye, Dani. Bye! You have 20 seconds until you go on live. Good luck.

See you, bye. Three, two, one... was too much boy band dancing and

not enough cha-cha-cha in there at all.

For me it was like a zumba exercise. An absolute disaster, to be honest

with you. A man that can ballroom and Latin.

I found it a little bit not so involving tonight. A bit careful.

You can move as much as you want, You were full-on and flat out and I

liked it. I wasn't completely fond of the dismount in the second lift.

You sort of went splat. Look at you, It was better than last week, so

you're on the way up. Well done. I thought the flow around the floor

was fantastic. You gave us such a beautiful feeling when you dance.

He is smiling! That was blissfully barmie. Entirely convinced you

wanted to take Erin to a love shack. It was the weirdest cha-cha-cha but

Queen Vic is back. Victoria is back in the race. Well done, darling!

great for Bruno to say I am back in the race. You have never left the

race, baby! There was a lot going on but unfortunately it was mostly

bad. That has to be one of the oddest

jives I think I have ever witnessed. My rehearsal was terrible and I

thought that was better than rehearsal.

I saw more turns than the Government. I saw great posture.

Fabulous! I do need an emotional connection between you and Flavia

Fab-u-lous! Top of the leader board. Yeah! You are really sweaty, get

off! You love it! It had lots of content and I liked the movement

around the floor. You did very well. Well done. I have to say a really,

really decent effort. A wonderful day, I hope it will

never end. I loved the routine. I thought the

routine was fantastic. Come back and show me some more hips. It's

from the Caribbean Kingston, Jamaica. This was more Kingston,

Beautiful line. You held that so well. Maybe not the wow factor, but

still a very, very nice foxtrot. Our expectations are huge. You got

to do better than that, girl. all right, you have been through

If you want to give the others a chance, you have accomplished that

for sure! I just love watching you. There was a lot in it. I am waiting

It looked like you were leading him! You know, he is the Prince.

He's got to lead. You danced that with great dexterity. I thought it

was light and I didn't expect it to be that light. I have to be a girl

and not a boy. You were a lady, a These rue tunes were -- routines

were like buses, nothing good turns up and suddenly two of them. First

Louis and out came Denise. The whole night was two hours long, but

it was two hours that, for me, went by like that. Drama back stage and

on stage. So, 14 stars all shone on Saturday night but who will be back

to illuminate the dance floor next week and whose dream will end

In no particular order, the first couple through to next week is...

Nicky and Karen! APPLAUSE

Surviving another week are... The next couple safe is...

Dancing again next Saturday are... Also safe are...

Fern and Artem! Place Back on the dance floor next

Saturday are... And now the first couple in the

dance-off who will be fighting for survival is...

Johnny and Iveta. The rest of you can relax for the moment. We will

hear who will be joining them later. Bruno, you said that Johnny had

really improved this week. Do you think it's a really tough

competition this year? It's very, very hard because he really did

improve. He produced last night a really good moment, elegant, classy,

lovely lines and he got better. Those are the rules. So, you know,

Johnny, do your best. Come out and give us a great dance. That's all I

can say. We are rooting for you, Johnny, thank you. Over to you,

Claudia. I have six overjoyed couples with me right now. Who is

the happiest, hands up? Everyone! My favourite thing is how people

react when their name is called out. I have to tell you that you win,

because you looked so genuinely shocked when Tess said your name.

Do you think you might be going? Yes, you don't expect to hear your

name in a positive way, that's the trouble. It's like, ah, goodness!

You were so happy I believe that you harmed one of our other dancers.

Louis said, well done, and I went like that and broke his nose nearly.

I am so sorry. I have a big nose anyway. Now it's bigger! You got to

the top. Top of the leader board. How happy are you? Really pleased.

It It means I have another week with him nagging. Lisa, did you

feel like Cinderella? I did, I had to be all lady-like and the second

it finished yes, get in! Back to myself. Good girl. Next week our

couples will be revelling on the red carpet with glitz and glamour,

as Strictly does Hollywood. 14 celebrities all with a chance of

being Strictly champion 2012. Together they face the nastiest,

meanest villain ever seen on the screen. Craig Revel Horwood.

haven't seen anything yet. Strictly does Hollywood, coming to a

television near you next week. That's great, but can you give me

that last line again. Strictly does Hollywood, coming to a television

near you next week. Thanks, Darcey, that's great. No problem!

APPLAUSE Brilliant. Now it's time to welcome

the judges! APPLAUSE AND CHEERING What a delight. Now, of course you

four are brilliant but we can't forget there is a 5th member of the

gang and he is called Len's Lens. There he is. This is where we can

show you the close-ups. The details, if you like. By the way, how divine

is that? Lovely twirling. Brilliant. Len's Lens captures the stuff we

don't see on the Saturday night. Are you ready judges? Always.

Len, my favourite thing in life I think is when you are a happy

rabbit. This is when Denise was dancing with James Jordan. Here you

# Tutti frutti... # APPLAUSE. A wopbambo! It was

brilliant. First, I love Little Richard. Who doesn't? You probably

never heard of him. Denise had speed, control. It had fun. It was

exuberant. The kicks were sharp. It was fabulous. OK. Let us remind

ourselves, Darcey, of how happy they were. They came over and did

kissing! The truth, darling fab-u- lous!

Look, one, twice. And here is my absolute favourite thing. There you

are, you are judging. Mum to the judges, here she goes. No problem,

Craig. Look what I have in my pocket. Here we go. Look how cute

you are! You are so sweet! Oh, dear. Tidying

up the mess. Darcey, you loved them as well. They did such a good job.

They were fabulous. They looked like like professionals, Denise

looks like a professional. Quite! Let me talk... Back-handed, darling.

Craig, we have a new face. A face- puller of the series. It's not new,

because you always look livid. Let's refind our -- remind

ourselves of this moment. He is a delight. Look at him.

Look at that. I don't even know what he is thinking. Just look at

Is the trout pout coming? It's not exactly you want to see in slow

motion, is it? Bruno, we have you in pain. You are never in pain.

You are always delighted. Here is wonderful Vaughan and Lowe dancing

and a shot of you. LAUGHTER

It wasn't bad... Wasn't bad?! This is going to go in the Guinness Book

of Records in the worst foot footwork in a jive ever! You can't

say that. Falling off the sofas. Thank you, darling. That's what

everyone is doing at home when they're watching Strictly Come

Dancing on Saturday night. Here is my final clip. Artem when he leaves

the show, by the way, could be a Thank you, very, very much. Let's

hear it for the judges. Six couples are through to next

week. Who will be joining them? Over to you, Tess. Thank you,

Claudia. Now seven couples are still waiting

to learn their fate. One will join Johnny and Iveta in the dance-off.

Who will it be? It's time to find out.

In no particular order, safely through to next week are...

Also back next Saturday are... The next couple safe is...

Dancing again next Saturday are... Also safe are...

That means Michael and Natalie, and Richard and Erin, one of you is

safe and one of su in the dance-off. I can reveal that the couple in the

bottom two tonight and who will compete in the dance-off is...

Richard and Erin! Michael and Natalie, congratulations, you are

through to next Saturday. APPLAUSE Darcey, you had said on Saturday

that this was the Richard you wanted to see on the dance floor.

He brought all his personality back. Why do you think he is in this

position? I don't know actually. I think it's really hard. He

definitely improved. He sold it. The technique wasn't brilliant.

Maybe that let him down. You can never tell which way the cookie is

going to crumble. Over to you, Claudia. Thank you, Tess. I am here

with our safe couples. You the relief is palpable. You all came up

almost weepy. Do you think you were going? That's one of the worst

things I have ever done. Waiting for your name, it's petrifying.

were looking down. I had a bad night Saturday night. It was bad. I

didn't really perform that well. I was expecting to be going home.

were holding an imaginary axe. It was brilliant! Victoria, have you

had the biggest improvement, up ten points. Do you think yes, I love

dancing? I do love dancing. I am not quite into it yet. I am trying

my best. I can't wait for next week now. Hollywood, how brilliant are

you going to be in Hollywood? great. You are the living

embodiment. You said you were going to do the quickstep. Are you

excited? I am very excited and we are going to be dancing to Mrs

Robinson. Ring-a-ding-ding. Kristina is possibly the happiest

woman on earth. Yes, yes. Well done, you look so happy. Now they're one

of the world's biggest pop bands. They've won three Brit Awards and

sold over ten million albums. Here performing their new single Let's

Have A Kiki. Why wouldn't we? It's # I hope you are up, girl because

They were brilliant. I am here with Richard and Erin and Johnny and

Iveta. I am so sorry, we loved your cha-cha. How do you feel about

being in this position? I feel like I am wearing from a curtain from

1976 which isn't to everyone's taste. Are you going to do do

everything differently? We are going to put our heart and soul

into it which we have been doing the last few weeks and she's been

amazing. She's had a lot to work with. I have never danced a step in

my life. Go and get into position. Johnny, I have to ask you the same.

You two two have got on brilliantly. We have, I think we have been the

funniest. It's sad that one of us is going. Are you going to do

anything differently? The judges loved it. I am going to enjoy it

and do my best. I feel terrible that I am in a stuffed shirt and

everybody else is relaxed. Other than that, no, we are going to give

it our best. Good luck. We don't want to say goodbye to any of our

couples at this early stage. Giving it their all to stay in the

Apology for the loss of subtitles for 156 seconds

competition, please go nuts for APPLAUSE AND CHEERING

It's going to be a tough decision for our judges tonight. Both

couples are desperate to be back here next week. They're dancing to

Apology for the loss of subtitles for 156 seconds

stay in the competition. Please Well done to both our couples. You

were brilliant. Best of luck to you both. We will now find out which of

you will be back to dance again next week. Judges, it's decision

time. We are about to ask each of you the

name of the couple you think deserves to be saved. The couple

with the most votes from the judges will stay in the competition,

meaning the other couple is out of Strictly Come Dancing and in the

event of a tie head judge Len will have the casting vote. Richard and

Erin, and Johnny and Iveta, this is it. The very best of luck to both

of you. So, Craig, who are you going to

save? The second time didn't go as well for both couples, actually, in

fact. But I would like to save based on content alone, Richard and

Erin. Darcey, who do you think deserves

to stay in the competition? For me it is about the dance content and

between the two dancers and who gave me the most confidence in in

themselves and that has to be Richard and Erin.

APPLAUSE That's two votes to Richard and

Erin. If Bruno now votes to save you that means you are through.

Bruno, who do you think deserves to stay? I thought both of them were

quite shaky in the dance-off but I understand, it's understandable. I

do agree with the others, content alone and for that reason I go with

Richard and Erin. There we go. That means we are going to say goodbye

to Johnny and Iveta. Please come and join us. Richard and Erin, we

will see you next week. Congratulations. Len, it makes no

difference, but did you agree? did agree with my colleagues, yes

for Richard and Erin. Come on over, Johnny and Iveta. APPLAUSE AND

CHEERING. What's going on! Come over, darling. Of course, it's been

very short but it's been very sweet. Have you enjoyed your Strictly

experience? I haven't done a run as bad as that at any time, as bad as

that one there. Under pressure. my age, I think I did quite well

really. APPLAUSE AND CHEERING I think so. This girl is absolutely

wonderful. It's been a pleasure having you on the show. Thank you

for stepping in at the last minute, Iveta. If you would like to go off

and prepare for your last dance. Johnny Ball room, take to the floor.

It's genuinely so sad having to say goodbye to someone so early on.

They will join Zoe on Monday at 6.30 on BBC2. I will definitely be

watching. For exclusive news and and gossip go to the
