:00:11. > :00:15.Tonight, on strictly, five semifinalists, two challenging
:00:16. > :00:22.dancers, and one last chance to make it to the final. I've never danced
:00:23. > :00:24.before and I've got to the semifinals, but last week, I was
:00:25. > :00:28.bottom of the Leader Board, so I really have to give it everything
:00:29. > :00:33.I've got. I'm feeling the pressure, big-time. It's tough learning two
:00:34. > :00:37.dances and we can't afford to waste a single moment. I seem to have been
:00:38. > :00:39.good at the ballroom, but I'll have to work really hard at the
:00:40. > :00:44.charleston to stand any chance of getting to the final. I was top of
:00:45. > :00:50.the Leader Board last week but I stumbled and blanked in the past so
:00:51. > :00:52.I can't let that happen this week. Doing two dances is extremely tough,
:00:53. > :00:57.double the work, double the risk. I've been top of the Leader Board
:00:58. > :01:00.three times now but I took a big knock last week being in the Dance
:01:01. > :01:04.Off. I'm determined to come back stronger this week. I do not want to
:01:05. > :01:08.miss out on the final. I've been in the Dance Off more than anybody else
:01:09. > :01:12.but it's making me more determined. I'd be devastated to miss out on the
:01:13. > :01:53.final at this stage. I don't want this to end.
:01:54. > :02:03.Live from the BBC, this is Strictly Come Dancing -
:02:04. > :02:17.Please welcome your hosts...
:02:18. > :02:36.Hello and welcome to Strictly Come Dancing.
:02:37. > :02:43.Tonight our five remaining couples will have to perform not one,
:02:44. > :02:47.So it's double the dancing, double the excitement
:02:48. > :02:53.In last week's Dance Off, Helen and Aljaz faced Georgia
:02:54. > :02:59.and Giovanni and it was Helen who left the competition.
:03:00. > :03:01.And with only one week to the final, who stays?
:03:02. > :03:04.With the standard so high ? who knows?
:03:05. > :03:07.One thing we do know it's going to be a busy night
:03:08. > :03:48.Now, all we're missing is our semifinalists ? so please
:03:49. > :03:59.EastEnders actress Kellie Bright, and her partner Kevin Clifton.
:04:00. > :04:03.TV presenter Anita Rani, and her partner Gleb Savchenko.
:04:04. > :04:06.From BBC Proms and Radio 3 presenter Katie Derham,
:04:07. > :04:12.Actress Georgia May Foote, and her partner Giovanni Pernice.
:04:13. > :04:16.And finally from The Wanted, pop star Jay McGuiness,
:04:17. > :04:38.Each of them just two dances away from the final.
:04:39. > :04:45.The judges' scores from both dances will be added together to determine
:04:46. > :04:47.where they end up on the Leader Board.
:04:48. > :04:49.The two couples with the lowest combined viewer vote and judges'
:04:50. > :04:53.scores will face the Dance Off in tomorrow night's Results Show.
:04:54. > :04:55.Sadly, one of our couples will not make it through to
:04:56. > :05:01.Dancing first for a place in the final is Katie Derham
:05:02. > :05:16.Their first dance tonight is a Charleston, to "Too Darn Hot".
:05:17. > :05:19.It's a very appropriate title, because with a place in the final
:05:20. > :05:26.at stake, things are really hotting up.
:05:27. > :05:35.Saturday was just fantastic. The foxtrot was definitely my favourite
:05:36. > :05:40.dance so far. Standing, it was beautiful. You were amazing. Just
:05:41. > :05:44.brilliant. I can't believe I'm in the semifinals of Strictly Come
:05:45. > :05:48.Dancing. This is way, way better than I thought I would do in this
:05:49. > :05:55.competition. It's lovely to watch people develop and grow. I'm getting
:05:56. > :05:59.emotional, shut up! Our first dance this week is the charleston. All the
:06:00. > :06:03.charleston As that everybody has danced so far have been really
:06:04. > :06:09.brilliant and they have scored really well. That's intimidating. It
:06:10. > :06:13.has to be hugely entertaining. The strong, characterful, characterful
:06:14. > :06:17.dance and Katie has those attributes in abundance. I've not done anything
:06:18. > :06:21.like this before and we've got a lot of work to do. It's lovely to know
:06:22. > :06:28.that so many people are voting for us. Anton showed me the messages
:06:29. > :06:34.from viewers which was just lovely. Double -- good luck, Katie, we love
:06:35. > :06:40.you. Good looks, Katie and Anton. Katie, your legs are wonderful. You
:06:41. > :06:47.have lovely legs. I hope you do really well in the semifinals. Good
:06:48. > :06:50.luck in the semis. How nice was that? It was really nice,
:06:51. > :06:55.heart-warming. I've worked hard this week on the charleston and now I
:06:56. > :06:56.want to pull off because everyone loves watching the charleston, so I
:06:57. > :07:02.want to do a good one. Dancing
:07:03. > :07:04.the Charleston, "Too Darn Hot" ? too darn right,
:07:05. > :09:06.that was sizzling - Whilst you two cool down it's a good
:09:07. > :09:10.time to welcome our fabulous live singers, Hayley, Patrick, Andrea,
:09:11. > :09:26.Tommy and of course Dave Arch CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
:09:27. > :09:31.Lynne, they have two chances to impress you tonight. How did they do
:09:32. > :09:34.with the first? I am hoping the other is going to be a lot better
:09:35. > :09:41.because you looks hot, but the dance was not. It was a struggle. It
:09:42. > :09:46.wasn't slick enough. Some of the lifts were a bit clumsy. You looked
:09:47. > :09:51.as though you were outside your comfort zone. You didn't come out
:09:52. > :09:55.and just give it wow. It's the semifinal, I want to praise
:09:56. > :10:02.everyone, but I have to be honest. For me, it wasn't your best moment.
:10:03. > :10:06.I'm sorry. Fair enough, I'm not sure the audience agreed. Bruno? Listen,
:10:07. > :10:12.you have the looks and you have the figure. What more do you want? You
:10:13. > :10:17.went a bit Lucy Goosey. You went Lucy Goosey on me. The charleston
:10:18. > :10:23.went off with it, you went off timing. It's the quarterfinals, I'm
:10:24. > :10:29.sorry, the semifinals. OK, OK, I'm jet-lagged still! Calm down. Don't
:10:30. > :10:37.take it away from you... APPLAUSE
:10:38. > :10:42.It's the momentum, you got a bit tense, you went off timing, you went
:10:43. > :10:47.Lucy Goosey, you will come back for the next dance and get it together.
:10:48. > :10:52.There you go. Fair enough, Lucy Goosey. Craig? The swivel was
:10:53. > :10:57.nonexistent in that at all, it was awkward. I thought it was too
:10:58. > :11:00.placed, it was stiff looking at times. You looks most uncomfortable
:11:01. > :11:07.throughout the entire dance. The kicks were completely out of time.
:11:08. > :11:11.AUDIENCE BOOMS. I hope your next dance is perfect because I can't
:11:12. > :11:17.feed that done is getting you into the final. A second chance. Darcey,
:11:18. > :11:22.did Katie capture the character of the charleston? It was absolutely
:11:23. > :11:24.charming. When you started off, I thought yes, yes.
:11:25. > :11:28.APPLAUSE The only thing is you have to follow
:11:29. > :11:32.that through until the very end and I just saw you fade, just that
:11:33. > :11:36.stamina, that energy, that you need to carry you until the end and
:11:37. > :11:40.because you got out of sync, both of you, it let it down and that was a
:11:41. > :11:44.shame because I can feel the nerves and I totally understand. We are
:11:45. > :11:46.hearing the semifinals and we have high expectations. It's a shame it
:11:47. > :11:52.wasn't your best. APPLAUSE
:11:53. > :11:57.You still have another chance to impress, do not despair. Go and get
:11:58. > :11:58.your scores. We all loved it, ladies and gentlemen. Katie and Anton.
:11:59. > :12:16.CHEERING AND APPLAUSE That must have been a bit of a
:12:17. > :12:20.shock, because you opened, it was a semifinal, look at you. Well, I
:12:21. > :12:25.loved it but obviously I wasn't watching it, I was doing it. Fair
:12:26. > :12:32.enough, fair enough. The audience absolutely loved it. How hard is it
:12:33. > :12:36.doing two dances? The two dances, you said yourself, slightly out of
:12:37. > :12:40.your comfort zone because you'd love the ballroom. I love the ballroom,
:12:41. > :12:44.I'm looking forward to the waltz. I love that too and I've loved every
:12:45. > :12:48.week on the show. No disappointment from me there really. I thought it
:12:49. > :12:50.was good. The audience will dictate at the end of the day.
:12:51. > :12:59.CHEERING AND APPLAUSE Correct. The scores are in. It's
:13:00. > :13:15.time to get the scores from the judges. Craig Revel Horwood...
:13:16. > :13:22.What do you want to say about the floor? I want to say this, is there
:13:23. > :13:26.any chance we can get Donny Osmond on the phone, quick? Donny would
:13:27. > :13:33.give it 25. If you want to see Katie's legs in the final, obviously
:13:34. > :13:46.with the rest of the herb, it comes as a package. Call:
:13:47. > :13:50.You can do it as many times as you like.
:13:51. > :13:52.Calls cost 15p plus your network's access charge.
:13:53. > :13:55.Please ask the bill payer's permission.
:13:56. > :13:57.To vote online, visit bbc.co.uk/strictly, where you'll
:13:58. > :14:04.Voting won't open until after our couples have danced twice.
:14:05. > :14:33.Dancing next is Jay McGuiness and his partner Aliona Vilani.
:14:34. > :14:37.Their first dance is a Viennese waltz.
:14:38. > :14:39.This is a dance that involves a lot of fast rotations,
:14:40. > :14:42.which can often cause dizziness, but it's been learning two dances
:14:43. > :14:45.this week that's really had Jay's head in a spin.
:14:46. > :14:52.Last Saturday night we had a really simple rumba and it meant we could
:14:53. > :14:58.focus on telling the story. I just felt every minute of it. I felt
:14:59. > :15:04.wicked. Tonight you've convinced me you're a terrific dancer.
:15:05. > :15:07.CHEERING. We've got a 39, which is one point higher than last week. We
:15:08. > :15:11.want to continue that trend if we can. Now we are so close to the
:15:12. > :15:19.final I would love to be there. That's why I'm going to bring my A
:15:20. > :15:24.game. My first dance this week is the Viennese waltz. Anything can go
:15:25. > :15:27.wrong in our waltz. One misstep and the fluidity and the grace of the
:15:28. > :15:33.dance can be ruined. Is it going to be done in time? We'll see. If I'm
:15:34. > :15:36.going to get through to the final, this Viennese waltz has to be
:15:37. > :15:42.perfect. Now they are putting us into the finals I have some good
:15:43. > :15:47.luck messages to show you. Aliona has brought me some support
:15:48. > :15:52.messages. I can't wait to see them. Good luck Jay and Aliona. Good luck
:15:53. > :15:57.with the jive. Good luck, we love you. Love you too. We've been
:15:58. > :16:01.getting so much support and it is awesome. It really gets you through
:16:02. > :16:08.the rough patches. Good luck Jay and Aliona. We want you to win Strictly.
:16:09. > :16:11.The support is incredible. Do them proud and deliver two great dances.
:16:12. > :16:13.Let's do it. CHEERING.
:16:14. > :16:17.Dancing the Viennese waltz, Jay McGuiness and Aliona Vilani.
:16:18. > :17:54.MUSIC: "Have You Ever Loved A Woman".
:17:55. > :18:16.Oh, beautiful. Beautiful storytelling. They're on their feet
:18:17. > :18:21.in the studio. CHEERING. You've had to learn two
:18:22. > :18:27.new routines this week. How has that been? It's been pretty difficult but
:18:28. > :18:35.we've got quite different dances, so I'm trying to separate them in my
:18:36. > :18:40.mind. Carlston next. Bruno, how did he do, do he deliver? It was simply
:18:41. > :18:53.beautiful and absolutely loveable. You take such care on everything you
:18:54. > :18:59.do. I love your lyrical arms. You could have been at the Royal Ballet,
:19:00. > :19:03.which I love. A tiny little bit more drive, oomph. But still very nice.
:19:04. > :19:08.Cheers, thank you. APPLAUSE. He topped the leaderboard
:19:09. > :19:14.last week, Craig. How did he do tonight? I really loved the opening
:19:15. > :19:18.sequence. I loved that you put a pirouette into a turn into hold. It
:19:19. > :19:22.is simple, it is effective. I think your top line could be more
:19:23. > :19:28.exaggerated, getting the head to the left even more would be good. I felt
:19:29. > :19:34.story-wise it looked like Aliona had just dumped you. You didn't smile
:19:35. > :19:38.once through it. It didn't look like you were enjoying it.
:19:39. > :19:44.AUDIENCE BOOING. Your face is extremely plain. That's my only
:19:45. > :19:50.bugbear with you. You told the story well. I disagree. Saving it for the
:19:51. > :19:54.Charleston, Craig. Darcey? Sorry, I disagree with Craig.
:19:55. > :19:58.CHEERING. You created, the first note of the music I could feel the
:19:59. > :20:02.romance between you. It doesn't have to be facial expressions, especially
:20:03. > :20:08.in a Viennese waltz. A it had to be a feeling, a breath, and you did
:20:09. > :20:11.that. Just how lyrical you were. And when you did that two-and-a-half
:20:12. > :20:15.turns to the floor and touched her as you came out of it. All of those
:20:16. > :20:19.things. Sometimes, because your technique is so good, you sometimes
:20:20. > :20:23.look comfortable and you could step out, make larger moves across the
:20:24. > :20:29.dancefloor. But still a very nice performance.
:20:30. > :20:35.CHEERING. Len? Well, actually I'm in a bit of a pickle here. I really
:20:36. > :20:40.don't want to. I loved that start. You went into a reverse fleckerl. I
:20:41. > :20:44.loved that and into a natural fleckerl and I thought, this is
:20:45. > :20:48.going to be great and it was great. It had lovely movement. All that
:20:49. > :20:53.opening section. Let me tell you and try to understand. This is nothing
:20:54. > :21:00.nasty. I'm not... The natural turn, you have to close your feet. OK.
:21:01. > :21:04.Forward, side, close. You never did. You were doing it almost like a
:21:05. > :21:09.reverse turn, where you crossed your feet. So that got me into a pickle,
:21:10. > :21:16.because as much as I loved it, I have to be true to myself and I have
:21:17. > :21:21.to look at the technique. And you did that not well. OK.
:21:22. > :21:26.AUDIENCE BOOING. Well... I am so passionate about getting the right
:21:27. > :21:28.people into this final. Nothing I say is meant other than to be
:21:29. > :21:34.helpful. APPLAUSE. Passionate about footwork.
:21:35. > :21:39.My heart has to reflect all that in my head. It is not a terrible mark.
:21:40. > :21:43.It is the semifinals after all. Thank you judges, one down, one to
:21:44. > :21:46.go. We'll see you later in the Charleston. Well done, off you go.
:21:47. > :21:58.Jay and Aliona! CHEERING. Jay and Aliona. Your
:21:59. > :22:02.expression when you received those comments is adorable, because you
:22:03. > :22:07.looked quite nervous but you want to take everything they say to heart?
:22:08. > :22:12.Yeah, we focus a lot on technique and performance. Everything they say
:22:13. > :22:17.we do want to apply. I don't reject any of it. I believe you preferred
:22:18. > :22:23.the Viennese waltz more than the Charleston? Yeah, I really enjoyed
:22:24. > :22:28.the romance. People think, oh your technique is good. But I'm not a
:22:29. > :22:33.robot, it is really difficult. I do make mistakes. I really wish my
:22:34. > :22:39.performance would be... See? No, we thought you were brilliant.
:22:40. > :22:56.APPLAUSE. It is hard. I was trying. The judges' scores are in.
:22:57. > :23:06.Are you alright? I was expecting a lot worse. Phew! You are edible.
:23:07. > :23:10.If you want those dance steps to get Jay one step closer to the final,
:23:11. > :23:13.call 6 22 52 14 from your mobile, 09015 22 52 14 from your landline
:23:14. > :23:21.Still to come, Anita has a baby grand piano, I just hope its parents
:23:22. > :23:29.Our next couple is Georgia May Foote and her partner, Giovanni Pernice.
:23:30. > :23:35.They're doing a cha-cha to the Gloria Gaynor classic
:23:36. > :23:37."I Will Survive", but after they were in the Dance Off
:23:38. > :23:44.last week, the big question is - will they?
:23:45. > :23:53.Last week we opened the show and got a score of 36. But unfortunately we
:23:54. > :24:00.ended up in the dance-off. It's time to decide. It was horrible. Georgia
:24:01. > :24:11.and Giovanni. I'm really excited to be in the semifinal. I have had the
:24:12. > :24:15.best time. I don't want it to end. It's Monday morning and I've woken
:24:16. > :24:25.up with the sorest throat I have had. Time to see a doctor. You've
:24:26. > :24:30.got pharyngitis. We've started the cha-cha today. I'm finding it a
:24:31. > :24:35.little bit difficult. I wanted to give it the last push and everything
:24:36. > :24:38.I've got and I've got ill at the opponent when I need to do it, and I
:24:39. > :24:42.can't. The opponent when I need to do it, and I
:24:43. > :24:47.can't. -- when I needed to do it and I can't. It is a really difficult
:24:48. > :24:51.week but maybe this will help you. Good luck, Georgia. I hope you do
:24:52. > :24:56.good on the semifinals. All the best. Good luck with the show. You
:24:57. > :25:04.didn't deserve to be in the dance-off. Gorgeous. Team GG. It is
:25:05. > :25:08.amazing to think people have supported me so far. I didn't think
:25:09. > :25:13.people would pick up the phone to support me. Good luck, Georgia. I
:25:14. > :25:15.hope you win. You can't give up now. You can't.
:25:16. > :25:17.CHEERING. Dancing the cha-cha-cha,
:25:18. > :27:17.Georgia May Foote and Giovanni CHEERING. Oh, well done. Well done.
:27:18. > :27:22.Yes! What a comeback. Are you feeling better, my darling? Not
:27:23. > :27:26.really. You can't breathe now? Your throat, bless you. I know you've had
:27:27. > :27:31.little time to rehearse, so you've done rel well. Craig, what do you
:27:32. > :27:36.think? You were losing huff action on the straight leg just about all
:27:37. > :27:40.the way through, sadly. But I adored the number. The disco was fantastic.
:27:41. > :27:46.The storytelling, great. Darcey, what do you make of their cha-cha?
:27:47. > :27:52.Well, the energy was fabulous. I loved the cheeky attitude. There was
:27:53. > :27:55.this lovely connection all the way through and your playing off each
:27:56. > :27:59.other was really important. Craig's right, I think there could be a lot
:28:00. > :28:07.more straight leg action. When you've finished, get that straight
:28:08. > :28:08.leg, but basically the dance content, the performance value,
:28:09. > :28:14.amazing. APPLAUSE. Obviously it lacked a bit
:28:15. > :28:17.of polish, burr those forward locks are a tricky bit of business,
:28:18. > :28:23.because you've got to straighten them and as you close you have got
:28:24. > :28:26.to get hip action. The hip action wasn't, there but somebody who's had
:28:27. > :28:30.limited time, I thought you did great. Thank you.
:28:31. > :28:36.APPLAUSE. Did it make you feel like dancing? You would have to be dead
:28:37. > :28:42.not to! I'm all shaken and stored and ready for action, you sexy
:28:43. > :28:46.little thing. Disco diva fabulous. Wonderful feisty, sexy. Yeah,
:28:47. > :28:51.there's a tiny thing, I'm not going to repeat it again. What the point.
:28:52. > :28:56.I had a great time? Who cars? APPLAUSE. We had a great time with
:28:57. > :29:00.you. Thank you. That's your first dance done. We look forward to
:29:01. > :29:13.seeing your Viennese waltz later on. Have a rest. Georgia and Giovanni!
:29:14. > :29:17.CHEERING. Well done. You've had a very emotional week. Yes. And you've
:29:18. > :29:22.been ill. You are in the dance-off, you were in the dance-off. How are
:29:23. > :29:27.the nerves for everyone? Everyone is nervous this week. It is two dances,
:29:28. > :29:31.so the pressure's on. We finished our routine yesterday. And you've
:29:32. > :29:36.got the Viennese waltz coming. Which dance do you prefer? I love Latin
:29:37. > :29:38.and ballroom. I've always been more drawn to ballroom but I do love them
:29:39. > :30:22.both. Very well done. Still to come, Kellie and Kevin do a
:30:23. > :30:24.rumba and an American smooth, but not at the same time, I think. Who
:30:25. > :30:31.knows? Tess. Our next couple is Anita Rani
:30:32. > :30:33.and her partner, Gleb Savchenko. After being bottom of
:30:34. > :30:35.the Leader Board last week, Anita is determined to bounce back,
:30:36. > :30:51.and determination is something this Last Saturday was incredible. I
:30:52. > :30:56.thought I'd done it all right, until Craig at the Luke List later date.
:30:57. > :31:01.Your feet were flexed you, you have a tendency towards pigeon toes. 31,
:31:02. > :31:06.it put me at the bottom of the Leader Board. When they called my
:31:07. > :31:10.name out, I couldn't believe it. I'm doing two very different dances this
:31:11. > :31:18.week. My first dance is the beautiful foxtrot. Two dances in one
:31:19. > :31:22.week is so, so difficult. There's a floor spin that for some reason I
:31:23. > :31:26.just have a mental block about. It's not a natural thing for the body to
:31:27. > :31:33.do. It's scary when you have to drop your body. Stop. See? As soon as you
:31:34. > :31:37.do it a couple of times you overcome the fear. This week is tough but the
:31:38. > :31:41.thought people supporting me is pushing me through. I'd like to say
:31:42. > :31:51.good luck to Anita and Gleb. Good look neater and love the Gleb.
:31:52. > :31:54.You're doing amazing job on Strictly, good luck on Saturday.
:31:55. > :32:00.Thank you. To see real people saying Carreon boosted me. Good luck. Come
:32:01. > :32:06.on, Anita, take no notice of what Craig said, you can do it. Good
:32:07. > :32:10.luck, Anita. That's so nice! I'm dancing for every single person who
:32:11. > :32:14.is voting for me. I want them to go, oh, we really enjoyed that. I want
:32:15. > :32:17.to get out there and dance like I've never danced before.
:32:18. > :32:24.Dancing the foxtrot, Anita Rani and Gleb Savchenko.
:32:25. > :34:19.Brilliant reaction. From the audience. And what a fitting tribute
:34:20. > :34:26.on what would have been Frank Sinatra's 100th birthday. Deed. A
:34:27. > :34:31.beautiful foxtrot, your first dance is a semifinalist. How does it feel
:34:32. > :34:37.to be here? Amazing, it feels so good to be here. Darcey, what did
:34:38. > :34:40.you think? Are great in the style of the style -- understanding of the
:34:41. > :34:46.style. You had the quality to pull it off. On the top line you still
:34:47. > :34:51.sometimes get lost. You get sunk down. If you could keep pulling up,
:34:52. > :34:56.keep pulling up, don't let him take over. Just keep holding your own in
:34:57. > :34:59.the top line. But I have to say the extensions, everything, I could see
:35:00. > :35:02.you were thinking about, really lovely, well done.
:35:03. > :35:08.APPLAUSE Len, what did you think of the lot
:35:09. > :35:14.foxtrot? Once you got off the piano, you got in the hold, I thought the
:35:15. > :35:16.further step, he'll turn, all the things Isle of Dogs, and moving
:35:17. > :35:21.along swimmingly, and then, I don't know what happened but it went into
:35:22. > :35:26.an American Smooth version. You forgot all about staying in hold and
:35:27. > :35:36.being on hold, and virtually the last 50% became a bit of an American
:35:37. > :35:40.Smooth. BOOING The American Smooth you did was lovely however I was
:35:41. > :35:45.looking for the foxtrot. The start was great, the rest of it, not quite
:35:46. > :35:50.to my taste. But well done. APPLAUSE
:35:51. > :35:53.Bruno. Look at you, my darling, refined, refitted, and empowered.
:35:54. > :35:57.Now that's what I'm talking sometimes a connection with the
:35:58. > :36:01.music and the style, you got it right tonight. You were on it. You
:36:02. > :36:02.understood what this dam is required.
:36:03. > :36:08.APPLAUSE Not just as a dancer but as a
:36:09. > :36:13.performer. Sometimes I have been hard with you because I've is the
:36:14. > :36:16.intention and the flow, the night it had the flu, the intention was
:36:17. > :36:19.correct and you were participating beautifully. Times a bit of a
:36:20. > :36:25.problem with the top line but otherwise, my darling, I think it
:36:26. > :36:31.was wonderful. Thank you, Bruno. Craig, last week you gave them a
:36:32. > :36:35.very measly six. Were you more impressed tonight? Yes, slightly. I
:36:36. > :36:41.liked your foxtrot stuff, I just worry when you do go into American
:36:42. > :36:45.Smooth stuff and you start using your legs and extending them, every
:36:46. > :36:49.time you go into an extension it seems like you are not fully
:36:50. > :36:54.extending the lead, like on the piano, in the layout turnaround
:36:55. > :36:58.here, and in fact, Gleb, I would have cut all of those hand-held and
:36:59. > :37:02.being foxtrot to be honest, because I think that let you down. It lets
:37:03. > :37:07.the line down of the whole thing and if you can't do it then don't do it
:37:08. > :37:13.what my advice is. I loved it, I thought it was beautiful.
:37:14. > :37:16.APPLAUSE There's still one more dance,
:37:17. > :37:19.everything to play for, you have the sulphur coming up next. Absolutely,
:37:20. > :37:36.yes. Off you go, Anita and Gleb. That is so interesting, Craig says
:37:37. > :37:41.do this, don't do that, and ends with, but I loved it. You have
:37:42. > :37:45.trained so hard, you were so moved that the public saved you, so you
:37:46. > :37:49.want to do everything correctly, didn't you? I really didn't I was
:37:50. > :37:52.thinking about my feet, pointing my toes, every week I think about
:37:53. > :37:58.something else, there's something new for me to take on board.
:37:59. > :38:02.Everything that judge -- judges say is good advice. The dance on Frank
:38:03. > :38:07.Sinatra's birthday to New York, brilliant. Absolutely brilliant. The
:38:08. > :38:21.scores are in. The judges have their scores.
:38:22. > :38:41.Nine! To vote for Anita and Gleb, please call...
:38:42. > :38:48.The vote opens when all the couples have danced twice. Still to come,
:38:49. > :38:50.Katie is dancing to an aria from an opera. It is not from the one about
:38:51. > :38:54.an ice cream, I'm lost. Our next semifinalists
:38:55. > :38:56.are Kellie Bright and her partner, Their first dance tonight
:38:57. > :38:59.is the dance of love, but they can't get too
:39:00. > :39:01.starry eyed about it, because with a place
:39:02. > :39:03.in the final up for grabs, there's an awful lot
:39:04. > :39:17.riding on this rumba. Last weekend, I loved our routine.
:39:18. > :39:21.Not elegant, had absolutely no class. I had completely bought into
:39:22. > :39:27.the fact that he thought it was going to be awful. I loved it. So
:39:28. > :39:34.when he said he loved it I was over the moon. We were expecting the
:39:35. > :39:39.light to go red, no doubt about it. Kellie and Kevin. We were shocked.
:39:40. > :39:46.We were shocked. The Rumba is the dance of love. Do you know what I
:39:47. > :39:49.mean? We've come to a dance where we have to be very intense, even the
:39:50. > :39:55.mention of the word, she starts laughing. Do you know what, the
:39:56. > :39:59.whole thing about doing Strictly is you just have to let go, all right,
:40:00. > :40:06.Sheikh off those inhibitions and go with it. I've got something to show
:40:07. > :40:11.you. OK. I'm rooting for Kevin and Kellie. Go, team Eastenders. I've
:40:12. > :40:15.been watching Strictly since you were little -- I was little and you
:40:16. > :40:20.bring it to life for me. Get into the final and let let's win this,
:40:21. > :40:28.yes. Good luck with the semifinal. We will cheer for you. It's really
:40:29. > :40:31.lovely. It means ever so much. Up until now Kevin and I have done a
:40:32. > :40:34.lot of fun, entertaining numbers, which we love, but the Rumba is a
:40:35. > :40:39.whole different level. I just hope that we've done enough work and have
:40:40. > :40:42.enough time to make it the best it can be on Saturday.
:40:43. > :40:44.Dancing the rumba, Kellie Bright and Kevin
:40:45. > :42:40.Chery-macro you were brilliant. -- CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
:42:41. > :42:47.. The Rumba, Kellie and Kevin, come over, darling. You are getting
:42:48. > :42:58.romantic. And all these people watching more your friend. Rumbas
:42:59. > :43:04.have been a bit like Marmite for you, Lynne, what did you think? Was
:43:05. > :43:07.like a pickled walnut and I like them. There were so many elements
:43:08. > :43:14.Isle of Dogs, there was the spiral, to have the nerve in a semifinal to
:43:15. > :43:19.do a forward and back basic and fully settle into your hip, no
:43:20. > :43:26.wiggling your bum and everyone whooping, no, proper proper, lovely
:43:27. > :43:31.light and shade, slow, and then out again, lyrical movement, I have put
:43:32. > :43:37.down perfect mix of steps. There was a wobble and I wished they hadn't
:43:38. > :43:43.been there because without that I was struggling to find anything I
:43:44. > :43:48.didn't like. A shame. A little wobble, just tiny. Their heels.
:43:49. > :43:53.Otherwise he thought it was perfect. Bruno. Prim, proper and correct,
:43:54. > :43:58.your mother would approve. You had the right sentiment. It was a
:43:59. > :44:08.question of taste, like a brother and sister dance. It was beautifully
:44:09. > :44:13.done. You must balance on that extension -- you lost balance. Some
:44:14. > :44:17.of the side ones, the arms, could have been more stretched, but again,
:44:18. > :44:22.the content was fantastic apart from that slight mistake. It was a very
:44:23. > :44:29.good performance. I like it a bit hotter, that's all. We know you do,
:44:30. > :44:34.Bruno. Craig, was that Rumba rousing enough for you? I can tell you have
:44:35. > :44:39.worked a lot on that dance, I really can. Technically I thought it was
:44:40. > :44:47.absolutely brilliant and I'm with Len, almost perfect, darling. Almost
:44:48. > :44:53.perfect. Almost, Craig! Darcey, that was the last of our first dances.
:44:54. > :44:58.How did they do? I wasn't expecting that. You have worked hard. I could
:44:59. > :45:03.see you trying to fill that moves it out, lyrical, pulling out stretching
:45:04. > :45:08.every limb you did, you caressed the floor, you did a very good job, it
:45:09. > :45:11.was a shame there was one moment but it shows you how difficult this
:45:12. > :45:20.dance is. I would have loved a bit more chemistry but overall,
:45:21. > :45:26.fabulous. Well done. CHEERING. Her husband is watching
:45:27. > :45:32.over there. I've got high hopes for you two in the American smooth
:45:33. > :45:38.later. Can't wait to see you. Kellie and Kevin!
:45:39. > :45:51.CHEERING AND APPLAUSE. I'm so annoyed with myself. The male pros
:45:52. > :45:55.are kneeling for you. They said beautiful, almost perfect. I thought
:45:56. > :46:00.you were going to cry then. I'm so annoyed with myself. No, don't be.
:46:01. > :46:05.You've worked really hard and you are one of the few people on the
:46:06. > :46:08.planet who enjoyed the rumba. I did. I like learning something new. It
:46:09. > :46:12.was so challenging, this dance. I know. It is so difficult. Well, I
:46:13. > :46:32.think it's difficult. Of course it is. The scores are in.
:46:33. > :46:49.CHEERING. Very well done. They are shouting, undermarked.
:46:50. > :46:55.All our couples are danced once, which means we've reached the
:46:56. > :46:59.halfway point in our semifinal. Let's look at the leaderboard.
:47:00. > :47:02.Currently at the top, sharing the top spot, Jay and Kellie with a
:47:03. > :47:08.score of 34. CHEERING. And down at the bottom,
:47:09. > :47:12.Katie and Anton with a score of 25. But our couples still have one more
:47:13. > :47:17.routine to professional tonight so the leaderboard could be turned on
:47:18. > :47:22.its head. Voting lines won't open until all our couples have performed
:47:23. > :47:29.twice. We still have all of this to come. What I know about the Viennese
:47:30. > :47:34.waltz is it can make awe very dizzy. Lots of spins. Very, very dizzy.
:47:35. > :47:39.Lifts are really difficult. They injury you, they bruise you. You
:47:40. > :47:45.need to jump. They challenge you mentally. There's a lot going on.
:47:46. > :47:50.There's been a lot of show-stopping Charlestons so far, so we've got to
:47:51. > :47:57.make ours as good as it can be. Anton says he talks to me as if I
:47:58. > :48:01.were a dancer. That was an amazing transformation. I'm touched that he
:48:02. > :48:06.said that, buts pressure too. It is all about keeping that top line,
:48:07. > :48:10.looking like you are doing nothing from the waist up while everything
:48:11. > :48:16.is happening down below. CHEERING. I'm really looking forward
:48:17. > :48:22.to seeing Jay as Doctor Who. He will be time travelling in this daredis.
:48:23. > :48:28.I'm going to borrow it for a minute. Oh, hello! It's time to welcome back
:48:29. > :48:28.Katie Derham and her partner, Anton Du Beke.
:48:29. > :48:37.CHEERING. During this competition Katie has
:48:38. > :48:39.had a few tricky weeks when she's But here she is, just one week
:48:40. > :48:53.away from the final. Tess? I have some information. I've
:48:54. > :48:56.been to the future and it turns out the dolphins are in charge.
:48:57. > :49:08.LAUGHTER. May I suggest you get one of these and learn to do this?
:49:09. > :49:13.Imitates a dolphin. Katie, what a class act. As an old dance teacher
:49:14. > :49:18.once said to me, it is not the best dancer but the one that looks the
:49:19. > :49:21.best. And you've got to say, on ballroom she looks cracking. Don't
:49:22. > :49:25.forget she topped the liked with that Viennese waltz. I wasn't
:49:26. > :49:29.expecting anything that beautiful. It wasn't only beautiful, it had
:49:30. > :49:35.attack as well. Look at that rotation. Blackpool, the American
:49:36. > :49:41.smooth. Oh, Len. It was joyful. Really dazzling. That's your best
:49:42. > :49:44.dance, so question. She does look so confident in Anton's hands. I'm
:49:45. > :49:48.really pleased that Anton has got this far in the competition. He's
:49:49. > :49:53.got somebody he can work with and really shine. The problem is though
:49:54. > :49:59.when she is left to her own devices... Her paso went horribly
:50:00. > :50:04.wrong out of his arms. She is really weak at the Latin. Her biggest
:50:05. > :50:08.weakness is, there is virtually a dance where she hasn't made a
:50:09. > :50:14.mistake. What a pity. Shame about the stumble. This is the highest
:50:15. > :50:20.standard semifinal ever. This is the Viennese waltz, it could be the star
:50:21. > :50:27.vehicle for her. All she has got to do is not make any mistake. I think
:50:28. > :50:32.the waltz could be her best dance. Anti-is ramping the the detail and
:50:33. > :50:35.the level of choreography. There's a certain expectation for Katie and
:50:36. > :50:39.the ballroom dance. You're in a semifinal, come online. She's been
:50:40. > :50:44.so much stronger in the ballroom dances. This is the semifinal.
:50:45. > :50:48.Everything just has to be just so. Don't turn your head. There is no
:50:49. > :51:11.margin error. CHEERING.
:51:12. > :52:50.You certainly impressed the audience. It's your last chance to
:52:51. > :52:57.impress this little lot. The judges. Let's find out what they thought.
:52:58. > :53:01.Bruno in To capture the power, the beauty of Puccini's divine music
:53:02. > :53:06.through dance is a really tall order. You are aiming to the
:53:07. > :53:10.artistic stratosphere. It is very, very difficult, because the phrasing
:53:11. > :53:17.and the emotion you have to portray as you dance this, it has to be
:53:18. > :53:23.perfect, and it wasn't, my darling. You were throwing away your arms,
:53:24. > :53:30.moments of imbalance, you lost the arch of your back. Listen, I'm
:53:31. > :53:33.Italian, Puccini is God me. Everything pops to my eyes. When you
:53:34. > :53:38.approach something of that level of perfection which is a work of
:53:39. > :53:41.genius, you have to live up to it. You know, you aimed high, you didn't
:53:42. > :53:47.quite get there. AUDIENCE BOOING. Sorry. Craig, you
:53:48. > :53:51.scored their Charleston a 4. Surely you thought this was better? Yes, I
:53:52. > :53:59.totally disagree with Bruno. CHEERING. I couldn't disagree more.
:54:00. > :54:04.I really enjoyed it and I thought you redeemed yourself in this. There
:54:05. > :54:09.was a slight balance issue where you had to pinch Anton's arm a little. I
:54:10. > :54:16.saw that. You put a little bit of your weight on him, but well done.
:54:17. > :54:21.CHEERING. Darcey, is Katie a contender? Well, you did such a
:54:22. > :54:25.better job on this, well done. You have done wonders with your
:54:26. > :54:30.ballroom. I have to say, we are getting picky here, as I've said.
:54:31. > :54:33.But the only thing that the dance, the transitions, the changes that
:54:34. > :54:37.you created were really good. You did control it. The only thing is
:54:38. > :54:43.you do become a little bit upright in your top line. I would loved you
:54:44. > :54:48.to have been more daring and to have leaned out and trusted your partner,
:54:49. > :54:52.but overall a lovely dance. CHEERING. Len, you were hoping that
:54:53. > :54:58.waltz would be better. Was it? Well, in a world of glitz and razzmatazz
:54:59. > :55:04.it is nice to see something that's just quiet and understated.
:55:05. > :55:12.APPLAUSE. Now, the thing is, the waltz is so slow and you need great
:55:13. > :55:19.control. Unfortunately, and... AUDIENCE BOOING. Look, over there
:55:20. > :55:24.you circled and went into a whisk. Somehow you got on the wrong foot
:55:25. > :55:29.and that created not just a mistake over there with the whisk but the
:55:30. > :55:33.next section. There were lots of... This is breaking my heart, please
:55:34. > :55:38.believe me. I know it's breaking yours, but it was just unstable and
:55:39. > :55:46.I've got to say that. I'm sorry. AUDIENCE BOOING. Well... You can
:55:47. > :55:50.always judge what you see. That's their opinion. You have done all
:55:51. > :55:59.that you can and it is out of your hands. Go and get your scores. Katie
:56:00. > :56:08.and Anton. I'm so sorry. Don't be. Well done.
:56:09. > :56:13.CHEERING AND APPLAUSE. Let's focus on Craig, because Craig loved it and
:56:14. > :56:18.he doesn't like much. I've always liked that Craig, you know. Was it
:56:19. > :56:25.nice to be back in hold after the Charleston? Yeah, I've said it
:56:26. > :56:29.before and it is probably making me sound boring but I have loved every
:56:30. > :56:35.minute, I have loved dancing with Anton. I could kick myself when I
:56:36. > :56:40.make mistakes and spoil it for you. You don't spoil it for me. It is
:56:41. > :56:44.still a joy for me. I'm not interested in what goes on down
:56:45. > :56:57.below anyway. I like what's up top! LAUGHTER. That's Anton.
:56:58. > :57:12.That's higher than the Charleston. Should have had more smoke, up to
:57:13. > :57:26.our next, I Back for their second dance,
:57:27. > :58:02.are Jay McGuiness and his partner Early on in the series Jay really
:58:03. > :58:06.set the bar with that jive, then after a few weeks
:58:07. > :58:09.in the doldrums he got himself back But has it been enough to grab
:58:10. > :58:23.a place in the final? I never get sick of his technique.
:58:24. > :58:27.He's precise. The driving week three was extraordinary. For someone to
:58:28. > :58:33.have that much presence, that much style, he was great. It was his feet
:58:34. > :58:41.and legs, incredible. The sharpness of that. I gave him the first time
:58:42. > :58:45.on that jive, which for me is one of the best drives ever. But then what
:58:46. > :58:51.was ridiculous, the following week, how he messed it up! That was a one
:58:52. > :58:58.off. My biggest problem with Jay facial expression. All he has got to
:58:59. > :59:03.do to get to the final, I think, it is a bit more face. He's got to
:59:04. > :59:07.think about exaggerating so that we notice. When you have fun dance, you
:59:08. > :59:12.want to see fun coming out. This week he's doing a charleston. You
:59:13. > :59:20.have to come out and threw caution to the wind. It's about being
:59:21. > :59:24.naughty, being in a party, being in the action. Comedy, goofiness,
:59:25. > :59:28.slapstick. He will have to pull out all the stops. Aliona is making sure
:59:29. > :59:35.I look forward, reminding me to stop performing outwards so by the time
:59:36. > :59:40.Saturday comes it's in my body. Eyes up. This is an opportunity for me to
:59:41. > :59:42.show I can sell a dance so now I can't wait to get out there and
:59:43. > :59:45.enjoy doing it. Dancing the charleston,
:59:46. > :01:40.Jay McGuiness and Aliona Vilani. Chery-macro --
:01:41. > :01:49.CHEERING AND APPLAUSE That was out of this world. That was
:01:50. > :02:01.just what the doctor ordered. Brilliant. Listen to that crowd. So,
:02:02. > :02:07.Craig... I can't hear anything! Enjoy that, you have earned it.
:02:08. > :02:12.Let's ask Craig, shall we? Did you get that smile you wanted in the
:02:13. > :02:23.charleston, Craig? Jay, that was brilliant.
:02:24. > :02:28.CHEERING AND APPLAUSE Yes, look who's smiling now. I'm
:02:29. > :02:33.smiling, I didn't know whether you meant to drop Aliona.
:02:34. > :02:36.LAUGHTER I don't know if it was a style
:02:37. > :02:43.choice. Anyway. LAUGHTER
:02:44. > :02:48.That was a yes, Craig. Darcey? It was, it was energetic, allies, full
:02:49. > :02:52.of style. I loved the use of the accents in the music. You really
:02:53. > :02:54.defined all those and that was really special.
:02:55. > :03:02.CHEERING AND APPLAUSE Yes, that was awed at the end, but
:03:03. > :03:08.you recovered well. You picked her up, flung her around and got back in
:03:09. > :03:13.the box. I loved it, well done. Glen Moore pro, he's the last boy
:03:14. > :03:18.standing in the ballroom, how did he do? -- Len. What I loved you didn't
:03:19. > :03:22.appear to be under pressure. You came out confidence, it was a walk
:03:23. > :03:27.in the park. You just got on with it. It. It was a fantastic routine,
:03:28. > :03:33.well done to both of you. Lovely. He loved it. Is it going to be four out
:03:34. > :03:42.of four, Bruno? Exhilarate, exhilarate, the doctor dance the
:03:43. > :03:49.storm. I thought it was intentional. It made me laugh. I thought it was
:03:50. > :03:54.meant to be. It was. Thank you very much, they loved it and it's so nice
:03:55. > :04:02.to see that cheeky smile on your little face again. Off you go, was
:04:03. > :04:03.not brilliant? Jay and Aliona. -- wasn't that brilliant.
:04:04. > :04:16.CHEERING AND APPLAUSE Very well done. The audience loved
:04:17. > :04:22.it, so did Craig. When he said Jay, then there was applause, I was like
:04:23. > :04:28.oh my goodness. You must have loved that? I really enjoyed it. It was
:04:29. > :04:33.cool, the charleston is cool. Who knew? It is when you do it. The
:04:34. > :04:46.scores are in. It's time to get the scores from judges.
:04:47. > :04:55.CHEERING AND APPLAUSE If you want to see Jade travel to
:04:56. > :05:11.next week's final, call... Still to come, Anita dances to a
:05:12. > :05:14.song by somebody called Pit bull, I don't know if it's not the real name
:05:15. > :05:17.but nice to meet you. Dancing next in the semifinal
:05:18. > :05:20.is Georgia May Foote and her partner They spent three weeks at the top
:05:21. > :05:24.of the Leader Board and yet last The competition this year really
:05:25. > :05:28.is that unpredictable. Let's see if the judges think
:05:29. > :05:47.they've got what it takes to get Georgia, beloved her. She is for me
:05:48. > :05:52.a great all-round competitor. She is. Ballroom and Latin, it doesn't
:05:53. > :05:55.matter, her charleston, brilliant. That particular dance gave her the
:05:56. > :06:02.confidence that she needed for all of the ballroom stuff. Her American
:06:03. > :06:07.Smooth, incredible. I can really see how this little girl that started a
:06:08. > :06:11.little bit shy and retiring has really become a fantastic dancer. A
:06:12. > :06:16.performances -- her performances are getting stronger and stronger, not
:06:17. > :06:21.just technically but as a character. She's mature to this beautiful lady.
:06:22. > :06:27.She does have weaknesses and we can't deny that. The shoulders tend
:06:28. > :06:31.to rise up, she loses her neck. The moment you lose your topline it
:06:32. > :06:35.spoils the picture. It was so good but once she starts going like that,
:06:36. > :06:43.the line goes. What Georgia needs to get to the final is not to raise
:06:44. > :06:49.those shoulders, continue a long, lovely, Lilia neck. You are going to
:06:50. > :06:53.be gorgeous in the Viennese waltz. There's no reason she can't achieve
:06:54. > :06:57.everything we need to see. She is developing into a beautiful dancer.
:06:58. > :07:02.This is our ballroom dance before the final, so we had to impress the
:07:03. > :07:05.judges. I think the judges will be looking for solidity in the dams and
:07:06. > :07:11.also watching my shoulders and posture, we're down to the finest
:07:12. > :07:13.details now. It's the last push before the finals. So we have to get
:07:14. > :07:17.this Viennese waltz perfect. Dancing the Viennese waltz,
:07:18. > :09:12.Georgia May Foote and Giovanni Well done, Georgia and Giovanni. The
:09:13. > :09:17.reaction from the audience... Back in the game. Come on. They are
:09:18. > :09:21.dancing for a place in the final. Darcey, did they win you over? You
:09:22. > :09:27.are a breath of fresh air. CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
:09:28. > :09:32.I have to say, with all those terms, with all of that, how you controlled
:09:33. > :09:40.it, you still kept that frame. That was beautiful. You didn't muffle at
:09:41. > :09:52.all -- buckle at all. It was smooth gliding transitions, it was
:09:53. > :09:58.exquisite. When Q. -- thank you. Len, has she proved herself in the
:09:59. > :10:00.ballroom tonight? Certainly, it was full of content, rotation, lyrical
:10:01. > :10:06.movement and I'm full of admiration. Well done. It doesn't get better
:10:07. > :10:12.than that, does it? Bruno, he looks happy. My darling, look at you two,
:10:13. > :10:20.adorable sweethearts, swept away by the whirlwind of romance. Totally
:10:21. > :10:26.believable. As a Viennese waltz, right on the money, honey.
:10:27. > :10:31.CHEERING AND APPLAUSE If you are back tomorrow when the
:10:32. > :10:38.Dance Off, I'm going to have to do it in speedos. Fantastic. Thank you,
:10:39. > :10:41.Bruno. And Craig, what did you think? I have to be honest, I could
:10:42. > :10:45.watch you dance all night were gorgeous.
:10:46. > :10:55.CHEERING AND APPLAUSE Wonderful. Down to the finishing
:10:56. > :10:59.line, the judges liked it. Thank you. See you later, go and get your
:11:00. > :11:10.scores. Georgia and Giovanni. CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
:11:11. > :11:18.So happy, aren't you? Did we mention before you were ill, you didn't
:11:19. > :11:21.train a lot. I have to mention your boyfriend, who was standing alone
:11:22. > :11:29.manically clapping. It was adorable. There he is. Darcey was talking, you
:11:30. > :11:34.must be incredibly proud, your whole family. Did you like that more? I
:11:35. > :11:37.liked both of them but I felt more comfortable in ballroom because I
:11:38. > :11:42.think it's because I was watching videos of Joanne Clifton. I didn't
:11:43. > :11:46.totally understand what you said. The scores are in. Ladies and
:11:47. > :11:54.gentlemen, the judges have their scores.
:11:55. > :12:18.CHEERING AND APPLAUSE That's the highest score of the
:12:19. > :12:19.night. Thank you so much. If you'd like to see Georgia and Giovanni in
:12:20. > :12:35.next week's final, call... Are you crying? Or some! -- all
:12:36. > :12:38.some. Still to come, Kellie is Ginger, from the 1930s. I've got
:12:39. > :12:41.some of that in the back of my kitchen cupboard. Tess.
:12:42. > :12:43.Dancing next is Anita Rani and her partner, Gleb Savchenko.
:12:44. > :12:46.During this competition Anita has been both top and bottom
:12:47. > :12:49.Can she find the consistency required to make it
:12:50. > :13:07.Anita, really, this is the story of determination, hard work, it really
:13:08. > :13:11.shows that when you apply yourself you get results. She's been a
:13:12. > :13:16.revelation. She's taken every risk, she has gone forehead. Anita has
:13:17. > :13:20.improved the most. If you look at her at the beginning and now, she's
:13:21. > :13:24.become a caterpillar into a butterfly. She comes from a very
:13:25. > :13:33.intellectual approach, she listens, looks and learns and takes it on
:13:34. > :13:36.board and grows as a dancer. Samba, weak four, such a difficult dams and
:13:37. > :13:39.it shows you the elements of control. A couple of times you got a
:13:40. > :13:44.bit tangled. We suddenly saw she wasn't a natural dancer. Her
:13:45. > :13:49.weaknesses are her feet. She is very picked -- pigeon toed, her footwork
:13:50. > :13:55.doesn't always come together. Her strengths outshine her weaknesses.
:13:56. > :14:01.Like Robin look at the paso doble, she was becoming the character, pure
:14:02. > :14:07.theatre. This week, she is doing the salsa. What we want to expect is a
:14:08. > :14:11.bit of those guts that she has. She needs to concentrate wholeheartedly
:14:12. > :14:15.on her footwork. It's a fun dance, you have to come out and have fun,
:14:16. > :14:21.look as though you're in some club and you are out there shaking and
:14:22. > :14:25.baking. The salsa could well be our most difficult routine Soviets. I
:14:26. > :14:29.can't remember the steps. There's so much going on, a lot to learn,
:14:30. > :14:34.lifts, flips, it's hard, it's really tough. You need to put energy into
:14:35. > :14:36.it. This salsa could be the difference between me making it to
:14:37. > :14:38.the final, or not. Dancing the salsa, Anita Rani
:14:39. > :16:42.and Gleb Savchenko. We've all got our arms up in the air
:16:43. > :16:46.after that! Wow! You pulled out all the stops for the semifinal. Those
:16:47. > :16:52.lifts are amazing. You are so brave. Are you still allergic to buttons,
:16:53. > :16:58.Gleb? He gets very hot. He certainly does. Len, they threw everything
:16:59. > :17:03.into it. They did. Dance is a balance. So if you do too much of
:17:04. > :17:10.one thing, you lose a bit of something else. Now this was...
:17:11. > :17:15.AUDIENCE BOOING. Why are you booing that, it was true. This was
:17:16. > :17:19.athletic, full on. Plenty of attack. However, you lost a little bit of
:17:20. > :17:25.the salsa rhythm and the juice of the dance, so as much as I admired
:17:26. > :17:28.your athleticism, I would have liked a little bit more salsa rhythm going
:17:29. > :17:35.through. OK. AUDIENCE BOOING. Did that get you
:17:36. > :17:40.raving, Bruno from I feel like a cheerleader. She was thrown into
:17:41. > :17:44.places and positions where under any other circumstances you can get
:17:45. > :17:49.arrested for, you know. I don't think it is actually legal, but I
:17:50. > :17:55.appreciate everything you did. But because of the speed you had some
:17:56. > :17:59.shaky moments and you lost the fluidity of the salsa. Salsa is a
:18:00. > :18:04.fluid dance but I really enjoyed this. I really did.
:18:05. > :18:08.APPLAUSE. And it was packed with armography. You were certainly one
:18:09. > :18:13.brave woman, I can say that. CHEERING. It was like watching the
:18:14. > :18:18.Olympics, darling, rather than the salsa. But strangely I really
:18:19. > :18:31.enjoyed that. CHEERING. Darcey? How... I was going
:18:32. > :18:34.to be rude then. How did you learn all of that dance in one week, with
:18:35. > :18:41.another dance as well? The complexity. Oh my God, you are so
:18:42. > :18:47.daring. Most ladies would have cut half of that out. I'm so impressed.
:18:48. > :18:52.It is a shame the speed was so fast that in a way the guys were right,
:18:53. > :18:58.you were losing some of that salsa technique, but phenomenal.
:18:59. > :19:04.CHEERING. Really. Phenomenal. A total crowd pleaser. We all loved
:19:05. > :19:11.it. Go and have a rest. Anita and Gleb!
:19:12. > :19:15.CHEERING. Wonderful. Wooh! Anita, that was extraordinary! That was
:19:16. > :19:21.more like a show dance. Craig said it was like the Olympics. Those
:19:22. > :19:28.lifts. Were you not scared? No time for fear. And I have no choice, by
:19:29. > :19:43.the way. No, of course, look at him, Ricky Martin, I mean Gleb.
:19:44. > :19:53.Are you happy with that? Very happy. Well done. You are so brave. If you
:19:54. > :19:56.don't want Anita to go back to Countryfile just yet, and it is cold
:19:57. > :20:08.and wet out there, please call: The vote will open after all our
:20:09. > :20:15.couples have danced twice. For lots of behind the scenes news and
:20:16. > :20:18.gossip, go to Facebook or Twitter or our website. Tess.
:20:19. > :20:21.Our final couple to take to the floor again is Kellie Bright
:20:22. > :20:29.Kellie has had a topsy-turvy series, she's been first on the Leader Board
:20:30. > :20:32.but she's also been in a couple of Dance Offs.
:20:33. > :20:35.With the competition so close no one is guaranteed a place in the final.
:20:36. > :20:42.Let's see what the judges think of Kellie's chances.
:20:43. > :20:48.Kellie Bright is just right in my world. Absolutely. All over, with
:20:49. > :20:52.everything from the Latin to the ballroom... She doesn't hold back
:20:53. > :20:55.and her characterisations I think are brilliant. You've got the
:20:56. > :21:01.character of the dance. It was great. Her acting skills are really
:21:02. > :21:06.shining in every performance. Yes. The only thing that let's her down
:21:07. > :21:13.is her top line. Only in ballroom. Trying to keep those extensions and
:21:14. > :21:17.trying to stretch that back. You can file that under B for brilliant.
:21:18. > :21:21.Everything came together for her. I loved it. This week she's going to
:21:22. > :21:26.do the American smooth. She has all the elements to make it
:21:27. > :21:30.unforgettable. I think we might have some problems with the lifts. She
:21:31. > :21:37.throws so much energy and effort into the lifts, she has to rely on
:21:38. > :21:41.Kevin. The beauty about Kellie is she is really brilliant out of hold.
:21:42. > :21:48.Side by side. Very confident. I love it. It is going to be one of the
:21:49. > :21:53.best moments of my life. I'm so excited about the American smooth. I
:21:54. > :21:59.get to wear a ball gown. Yes! As soon as I started showing her the
:22:00. > :22:07.routine her face lit up. I love it already. Kevin has thrown everything
:22:08. > :22:13.into it. It's got turns, it's got lifts, lots of fast footwork. On on
:22:14. > :22:16.top of this it has to look effortless, but let me tell you, it
:22:17. > :22:20.definitely isn't. It means a lot to be able to do this number. I just, I
:22:21. > :22:22.can't wait. Dancing the American Smooth,
:22:23. > :22:27.Kellie Bright and Kevin Clifton. MUSIC: Let's Face
:22:28. > :24:21.The Music And Dance. CHEERING AND APPLAUSE. Oh, gorgeous.
:24:22. > :24:27.Magical. Beautiful. The last dance of the night. Your lance chance to
:24:28. > :24:34.impress the judges. You have faced the music, now it is time to face
:24:35. > :24:38.this lot. Fred Astaire and ginger Rogers' legacy is alive and well. I
:24:39. > :24:43.love the cross-reference of all the moves. I can see you picked the
:24:44. > :24:47.steps from the collection of their films from the round jumps to the
:24:48. > :24:52.last position. Even to the little looks. I find those things
:24:53. > :25:03.absolutely delicious. CHEERING. Delicious! Craig, would
:25:04. > :25:08.they have done Fred and Ginger proud? That was a classic, darling.
:25:09. > :25:13.A classic American smooth. I thought you danced it absolutely
:25:14. > :25:18.beautifully. I really do. It is a little bit of a shame about the end,
:25:19. > :25:22.you came down a little late with that final butch, because that would
:25:23. > :25:32.have set the whole thing off beautifully. Darcey? It was. It had
:25:33. > :25:36.glamour, flair, all the Hollywood quality we wanted. Those four fan
:25:37. > :25:40.lifts, and then you were side by side all the way down. That was
:25:41. > :25:47.Heaven, really. You've done it. You really have.
:25:48. > :25:58.APPLAUSE. You've done it! Len, you loved their rum rumba. Did you love
:25:59. > :26:04.their morning smooth? Tonight is all about who deserves to get to the
:26:05. > :26:08.final. 100%, if you're not there... Well.
:26:09. > :26:12.CHEERING. He believes you should be. Let's see where it leaves you on the
:26:13. > :26:25.leaderboard. Thank you so much. Off you go. A beautiful job. Kellie and
:26:26. > :26:34.Kevin. Come on. CHEERING. Well done you two. You
:26:35. > :26:39.know what's so sweet? For 13 weeks, you said, I would like a princess
:26:40. > :26:43.dress and an American smooth. Yes please, I would like one. I loved
:26:44. > :26:51.it. I had the best time doing this dance. This is a dream come true. I
:26:52. > :26:54.know. You've been working so hard. EastEnders from 7.00am and training
:26:55. > :27:02.until midnight. This week has been so hard. What do you think of this
:27:03. > :27:07.girl's attitude? She's the hardest working girlive ever met. I'm the
:27:08. > :27:11.one who says I'm tired. She never says it. She's worked so hard. I'm
:27:12. > :27:37.so proud of her. CHEERING. From Len, a 10. And here
:27:38. > :27:45.we go, a 10! CHEERING. That's the highest score
:27:46. > :27:53.of the competition. So well done. Very well done. Thank you! If you
:27:54. > :28:09.don't want them in the dance-off, please call..
:28:10. > :28:17.Up at the top we've just seen them, Kellie and Kevin with a score of
:28:18. > :28:22.3673. Down at the bottom are Katie and Anton, with a score of 56. But
:28:23. > :28:30.you of course can change all of that. You are voting for your
:28:31. > :28:34.Strictly Come Dancing 2015 finalist. Things have within getting a little
:28:35. > :28:40.out of control up here in the last few weeks. We need to conduct
:28:41. > :28:44.ourselves in a professional manner. Dave Arch, in you come.
:28:45. > :28:49.CHEERING. Would you mind... You do the honours. I can announce that the
:28:50. > :29:15.voting is now open. CHEERING.
:29:16. > :32:10.Our stars have danced their heart out, not once, but twice tonight and
:32:11. > :32:14.are desperate to stay in the competition. Here is why it means so
:32:15. > :32:19.much to them. Now that we are here there is just that one hurdle left
:32:20. > :32:24.between us and the final. I really, really truly don't want to see it
:32:25. > :32:27.ends this week. Standing under the spotlight, wondering if you're going
:32:28. > :32:37.to be the Dance Off and going home, is very nerve wracking. Puttering
:32:38. > :32:40.feeling. Please say my name and not in the Dance Off. You are clinging
:32:41. > :32:45.on to your partner, you have no idea what's about to happen. Kellie and
:32:46. > :32:53.Kevin. They're in the Dance Off. Then you are safe. Georgia and
:32:54. > :32:58.Giovanni. It's like the biggest sigh of relief. In the general scheme of
:32:59. > :33:03.things it shouldn't matter but right now so pleasing. Just get over that
:33:04. > :33:09.final hurdle, would be unbelievable. Incredible. Immense. It would be
:33:10. > :33:11.fantastic. I've learned so much, I don't want it to.
:33:12. > :33:13.CHEERING AND APPLAUSE The vote closes at 8.55 tonight,
:33:14. > :33:16.so you don't have much longer Your votes will help to decide
:33:17. > :33:20.who will make it to next week's grand final and who will fall
:33:21. > :33:22.at the final hurdle. The competition is so close -
:33:23. > :33:26.no-one is safe and, as we found out last week, any of our couples
:33:27. > :33:29.could end up in the Dance Off. Find out who it will be in tomorrow
:33:30. > :33:33.night's results show at 7.20pm. Also on tomorrow's show
:33:34. > :33:35.we have an amazing group routine from our professional dancers,
:33:36. > :33:38.and the Queen of Pop, Kylie Minogue, will be singing
:33:39. > :33:46."I'm Gonna Be Warm This Winter". We'll see you at 7.20 tomorrow night
:33:47. > :33:50.to find out which of our stars will be dancing in the final
:33:51. > :33:54.and who will be in the Dance Off.
