Week 7 Results Strictly Come Dancing

Supplies are on their way. Thank you very much, General Goodman.

This is Strictly Come Dancing - The Results.

Hello and welcome to Strictly Come Dancing - The Results Show.

Thank you to our professional dancers for that

Strictly is honoured that Service personnel from the

Defence Medical Rehabilitation Centre, Headley Court,

Saturday night saw ten couples compete to keep their place

Peter Andre got a higher score of the series so far, Anita Rani got

her first nine, and Jeremy Vine got on a horse, bless him. Sadly, one of

our couples must leave tonight. Your votes have been combined with

the judges scores and the two couples with the lowest overall

points will face the dance off Deciding who will return next week

are the four people who will make or break our couples dreams -

so please welcome the judges! Also on the show tonight, the

brilliant Seal will be performing. Plus I'll be quizzing the judges

on the finer details of Saturday But first,

here's a chance to re-live all Week seven, halfway through the

competition. Let's see how the cast of 2015 are handling the pressure.

Every week there is pressure, it is a pressure cooker. The minute you go

on live television, everything you have learned goes out of the window.

The halfway point, a huge weekend. Today is the first time we'll see

our numbers really diminish. Everybody has stepped up their game

incredibly. The contestants are all really supporting each other. It's a

real, it's great. Could we get the judges to the studio? Girdler, I'm

terrified! Follow me, guys. Time for you to get the best seat in

the house. Became a character, became a style, it was excellent!

You were performing at like I've never seen. Brilliant. Lovely,

clean, clear, crisp and lovely. Well done! So intense, the performance

was absolutely beautiful. I loved the drama in that. I thought it was

full of charm, full of grace. You are a great all-round dancer!

Kellie's and all-rounder! Not just Latin! You have been working on the

footwork, if you are in the dance off, I will pick my walnuts! Are you

happy? Always happy. I love you because you are consistent. She is

critic proof and pretty proof and dance proof. That work looks

absolutely ugly. That is how the West was lost! It

was a glorious disaster! It's like playing the lotto, we never know

where the limb is going to land at any one time. I did enjoy your

little bottom going CHUG-CHUNK! When you dance at that speed, with that

amount of steps, you can lose a little bit of control. Frustrating.

But I know you can do it! If have the flavour and we have the

acceleration. You came out like my favourite pizza, hot and spicy, and

you killed it, well done! Tonight, Anita, you broke the mould, you were

on fire. Fast, furious, I absolutely love the routine. You were in the

zone. Those lines you were hitting... I mean, picture perfect.

You executed it to perfection. I love what you're doing. That. I was.

Fantastic! I thought that was absolutely exceptional. The first

ten! I didn't expect it, that is all it is. You're getting sweaty. Yes, I

tend to sweat... Here's a reminder of the leader

board after Saturday's performances. But have

your votes changed everything? In no particular order, the first

couple safely through to next week is...

Anita and Gleb! Thank you, thank you...

Jeremy and Karen! Thank you, thank you!

Now, the first couple that must dance for survival in the dance off.

Kellie and Kevin. Please come and join me. For the rest of you, we

will reveal if you made it through a little later on.

A lot of support from the audience. Audible gasps of shock when I read

out your name. You had great comments, great scores on Saturday

night, what is going through your mind? You know what, I just said to

Kevin, if we have to do it again, I promise I won't wobble. You know

what? This is part of this show. I'm going to do my best, that's all I

can do. Bruneau, you loved Kellie's

performance, what more can she do in the dance-off? Do exactly the same!

It was fantastic. It was so well-placed. Your footwork was

excellent. As a performance, it was perfectly judged. The attention to

detail was fantastic. The only thing, just relax a little bit more.

Do exactly the same. I cannot believe you are here, you shouldn't

be. You know this is Kevin's first dance-off? I'm looking forward to

it, just means I get to dance Kellie again. Some advice, there. We wish

you the best of luck. Thank you, Tess. I'm with our safe

couples, all of whom will be back next week. Peter, let's talk about

Saturday, top of the leaderboard. Were you emotional after it? I was.

I couldn't quite believe it. I was so overwhelmed. Just trying to play

back what the judges said. It was just mind-blowing, really was.

Jeremy, you are all incredibly close, you are about to lose another

member. How close have you become? Well, really close. A couple of

nights ago, we were all having dinner in the hotel. They said,

"Give us some Eggheads questions." We had an edition of Eggheads at the

table. It is so painful when the table comes back the following week

and there is a person missing. OK. Katie, brilliant in rehearsals all

week. You made some mistakes on Saturday night. What happened? It is

this nerves thing that happens. We all can do wonderfully in rehearsal

and you think great, I will go out there and nail it! Something bizarre

comes upon you and there is a mental blank, or a foot that does something

of its own accord. You know, listen, I'm so relieved I was forgiven for

those slip-ups this week. Fantastic. Huge congratulations to all of you.

Now to mark Remembrance Sunday, some of our couples went to support the

Here's how they got on at this very special event.

We are here for the start of the Royal British Legion's Remembrance

campaign, just to remember all the amazing people who have served our

country. I served abroad. What was it about the Army that appealed? I

was a tomboy. It is a privilege to enjoy the engagement with the

public. The feedback is always positive and it makes us feel very

humble. Last year, we raised a fantastic amount. We are hoping to

smash that this year. So far, it is going really well. Would anybody

like to buy a poppy? Thank you! We are pleased that Strictly Come

Dancing has come down to support us. It's raised more awareness and it

means a lot to us to know they are supporting us today. My grandfather

was in the war and it is so nice to be able to get amongst it all and

pay tribute to everyone. My granddad, he got very emotional when

he told me about his time in the RAF. He would be there fighting and

he would see his friends being hit and falling to the ground. I'm in

awe of their strength and bravery. People that went to war, if they

hadn't have gone for this country, we wouldn't be a free country. To be

asked to be here is a total honour. One of my grandma's first memories

was hiding under the table. It is important to show we haven't

forgotten the sacrifices that were made and I feel very grateful to be

a small part of it. APPLAUSE

Thank you to the British Legion for allowing Strictly to be part

Now time for some music, from his latest album, performing

Every Time I'm With You, please welcome Seal.

# Coming in, let me know if you like it

# Show me you like it, show me excited

# I can lose it all, it won't be daunting

# Somehow I don't think I'd even care

# Cause every time I'm with you, I feel wanted

# We could make believers if we dare, yeah

# I can lose it all, it won't be daunting

# Somehow I don't think I'd even care

# Cos every time I'm with you, I feel wanted

# We're just two believers if we dare, yeah

# Coming out, show me you like it

Thank you to Seal and our professional dancers,

Now please welcome the magnificent judges.

Thank you for coming up here. This is when you talk about the

technicalities, where you can expand on what you might have mentioned on

Saturday night. Craig, can we do this alone? No! Good. I'm interested

in all of you. Let us welcome Len's Lens. Len's Lens! First of all, Len,

I will ask you about Kellie and Kevin. You were excited about their

reverse turn, they did three, I believe. Double. Here we go. Heel

turn, and then round she comes, cross in front, round again, lovely

heels together on the heels, cross again. This is a syncopated step.

That is difficult to do. Unless you try it, you wouldn't imagine - you

look at things like that, you think that is alright, go round on your

heels, wallop! It is so difficult. To maintain your hold and your

posture, it was such a good step. Little things like that please me! I

know. That's what we want! I like to see things and go, God, that's

great. We love you. Darcey, Peter and Janette, this was your 10. My

first 10. Shall we show the viewers how excited you were to give the

first 10. TEN! You were so happy to give it to him. You all loved it.

You said now we see the character in the dance. Here is a clip. Perfectly

in synch and he is a natural performer. He always plays Peter

Andre. I wanted to see somebody else. Finally, he is playing

somebody else. He is having a great time. The expressions, the details,

the whole package. OK. Craig, I would like to ask you about Jay and

Aliona, that Argentine tango, which made the audience go nuts, but you

had a problem with the Gancho. It's a kick, flick set. If you start

here, one drags the foot across the floor. You kick your heel to your

bottom. And that can go through the lady's legs, and it can happen in a

series. Where you can go in a circle doing them. It looks spectacular and

that is what people love about the Argentine tango. Jay did do one. He

did. There we go. There it is. He could get his knee further back

because it should lock into the back of the lady's leg. My final point,

we love this. This is a clip of Bruno. Jeremy and Karen are doing

their tango. You three focussed, pen poised in hand. This is Tonioli!

LAUGHTER # Go west

# This is what we do. # Brilliant. Let's hear it for the

judges. Thank you so much. Four couples have secured

their place in the competition Our remaining couples are nervously

waiting to find out their fate. In no particular order, safely

through to next week are... Back to dance again next Saturday

are... So that means Helen and Aljaz and

Karen and Pasha. The couple in the bottom two tonight who will compete

in the dance off is... Carol and Pasha. So, Helen and

Aljaz, congratulations, you are through to next Saturday. Carol and

Pasha, come down and join me. Carol, lovely Carol, I'm so sorry,

your first time in the dance off. How are you feeling? It was coming!

We were expecting it. It's been brilliant fun and it's a pleasure to

dance this again. You are still smiling, that beautiful smile! You

are unbelievable. Let's talk to the judges. Craig, you said there was a

vast improvement in Carol's performance, with what more can she

do in the dance off? I have been so horrible to you, darling. You have

been nothing but lovely backstage, especially in the BBC Bar, where we

get on like a house on fire! It is only when you dance, darling, that I

become this vile, nasty person. But what I'm saying to you is, go out

and enjoy this and really just keep that wonderful, wonderful infectious

smile of yours going, darling. The audience love you. Thank you. Thank

you very much. We are all behind you. Thank you. See you later.

Claudia. Thank you, I'm joined by the rest of our saved couples. There

is a - you are all so shocked. Watching you go through that, the

fear in your face. Jamelia, you are not in the dance off? I can't

believe it. I was oh my God, they voted for me! It is so exciting.

Sorry. No, very very well done. Georgia, you have the Charleston

next week. You wanted to do Strictly to do the Charleston. Why do you

want to do the Charleston? I don't know. It is a fun dance. We have it

to Chicago as well, which is one of my favourite songs. I can't wait. I

can't wait. Well done. Jay, the judges have been saying they want to

see more character from you. Almost more acting. What will you do about

that Hopefully, do it! That would be excellent. Next week will be an

opportunity to get in the mood of the dance and hopefully it will

show. I hope. Very good. Watching you there with those lights, I

thought, at one point you didn't look, you went... I was convinced I

was going to go home tonight. I didn't like this "in no particular

order... " You are through to next week. Congratulations to all of you.

In two weeks' time, we are off on our annual trip to Blackpool.

All our couples want to make it there, and last year there was one

Yes, I'm joined by a familiar face, Scott Mills!

So nice to see you! How are you enjoying watching the show this

week? I'm loving it so much, it is kind of weird to be back, in a good

way and a lot less stressful. You never got a chance to dance at the

Blackpool Tower, but I hear you are you enjoying watching the show this

week? I'm loving it so much, it is kind of weird to be back, in a good

way and a lot less stressful. You never got a chance to dance at the

Blackpool Tower, but I hear you're going there on Friday for a special

challenge? For Children in Need, this Friday, BBC One, I am going to

be abseiling the Blackpool Tower, 400 feet. What!? I'm the kind of

person who doesn't even go on roller coasters is, I'm terrified of them.

I'm petrified for you. Even talking about it... You are incredibly

brave, it is a brilliant cause. You are in safe hands. Best of luck. We

are all behind you for that one. Before they face the dance-off,

let's see what our couples have been up to an It Takes Two. It's the

midway point of this year's Strictly and we've already had this. Not up

and down, it is down. Remember this? And this? Just clearing up for

you, won't be a minute. This was sweet. I want to be like Carol. All

of that, in just six weeks. Join me on weekdays Kaman BBC Two, for the

next six weeks. That's my line! Not any more, I'll take it from here.

It's now time for the dance-off. Neither of you wanted to be in this

position. Kellie, it's been plain sailing. You have worked really

hard, you have had wonderful weeks. How shocked you to in this position?

Somebody has to be here, I'm not going to lie, I feel a bit sick at

the moment. But I love dancing with Kevin. So, I'm going to enjoy

dancing with Kevin again. Kevin, this is your first ever dance-off.

How you going to go about it and what advice do you have for Kellie?

Feeling a little bit sick. Just keep doing what you're doing. Kellie

comes in every day, after a long day at EastEnders. She must be tired,

but she comes in with a smile on her face and gives 150% every time. I'm

really proud of her for what she is achieving. Keep doing what you're

doing, you are a beautiful dancer. You really are. Let's hear it for

Kellie and Kevin. Carol, what are you going to do for

the dance-off? Just enjoy it, it was a brilliant routine. Pasha is

amazing, a pleasure to dance with you, even if it is for the last

time. It is all about you, now you are doing it with no fear. It's all

about you, let's celebrate you. The judges can save only one. Dancing

first, Kelly and Cavan. -- Kellie and Kevin.

Dancing to keep their place on Strictly, Carol and Pasha.

Both couples have given it their all and no-one wants to leave

I'm about to ask each of you the name of the couple you

The couple with the most votes will stay in the competition meaning,

sadly, the other couple is out of Strictly Come Dancing.

In the event of a tie, Head Judge Len, you will have the casting vote.

Kellie and Kevin, Carol and Pasha, this is it. Craig, who are you going

to save? I would like to save Kellie and Kevin. That his one-vote for

you. Darcey, who do you think deserves to stay Weston Park The

couple I would like to say is Kellie and Kevin.

If Bruno chooses you also, it means you are safe, and through to next

week. I would like Kellie and Kevin to stay on Strictly. We are going to

have to say goodbye to Carol and Pasha. Kellie and Kevin,

congratulations. We will see you next Saturday. Did you agree with

your fellow judges? I did, Kellie and Kevin, yes. I'm so sorry to see

you here. We will never forget your beautiful smile. You lit up our

ballroom everyday. Have you had fun doing it? It's been the most

wonderful experience ever, I'll never forget this as long as I live.

A huge thank you to everybody, the runners, make up, hair, wardrobe,

the lovely judges, your encouragement, the fabulous

contestants, the crew. But more than that, to Pasha. He's wonderful, he

has the patients of a state. A gentleman and a gentle man. --

patients of a saint. She came with no dancing experience

whatsoever, are you proud of her? Rio so proud of you, working with

you is the most amazing experience I have had on Strictly. I couldn't

believe you could be so nice. People are not that nice. I didn't know

that. Thank you so much. I am definitely going to miss you singing

to me. We are going to miss you both. Thank

you very much. Judges, as well. Goodbye to Carol and Pasha.

They'll join Zoe on Monday's It Takes Two at 6.30 on BBC Two.

You can also visit our website bbc.co.uk/strictly

for all the news throughout the week.

Join us again next Saturday at 6.50 as our remaining nine

couples compete for a ticket to the Blackpool Tower.

Now, their final dance, Carol and Pasha.

Very sad to see her go, we'd been friends for years. Never stopped

smiling, never short of a lovely word for anybody. She's like a

beautiful, warm sunny day. When I heard Kellie's name, I thought they

must have got that wrong. I'm not going to lie, that was horrible. You

learn that nobody is safe, everybody is going to go at some point. An

emotional roller-coaster. We had so much fun doing it! Next week we're

doing the tango, I'm so excited.
