0:05:55 > 0:06:00This is the week we've been dreaming to be part of.It's Halloween and I
0:06:00 > 0:06:09can't contain my excitement!Happy Halloween!Strictly goes in on
0:06:09 > 0:06:16Halloween, it's not a joke! Cobwebs everywhere, masks.The costumes and
0:06:16 > 0:06:21make-up are amazing but Halloween week is like amazing with bells on,
0:06:21 > 0:06:25there are people with spiders coming out of their mouths!I ate a spider
0:06:25 > 0:06:31because I was quite hungry.Big horns, red hair, a standard Saturday
0:06:31 > 0:06:38outfit!Just going to be a pirate, very dirty.You see people that you
0:06:38 > 0:06:44think you don't recognise and then you realise it's Aston! De Villiers!
0:06:44 > 0:06:54-- there he is. I'm sitting here waiting for my wig.Debbie has gone
0:06:54 > 0:06:59brunette and I have gone blonde. Giovanni is going to be up to some
0:06:59 > 0:07:05sort of trick.Oh!
0:07:06 > 0:07:17We live in a five for the spooktacular.I am ready for
0:07:17 > 0:07:24Halloween.It may be a horror story but I love the Halloween special.
0:07:28 > 0:07:33You came out with all guns blazing. I loved everything about what you
0:07:33 > 0:07:45did.Perfect Halloween treat. You were living every moment.Oh, I can
0:07:45 > 0:07:50have your tango for breakfast, lunch and dinner.Terrifyingly good.It
0:07:50 > 0:07:58was amazing.Well done.Thank you. Give me some more Tango!There were
0:07:58 > 0:08:03moments when you looked uncomfortable.I really love the
0:08:03 > 0:08:09energy and drive you provided.I was pleased with you today.Don't mess
0:08:09 > 0:08:21with Gemma because she's the jazz player!Done!It was an American
0:08:21 > 0:08:28horror story!I thought it was the dullest of the living dead and rigor
0:08:28 > 0:08:33mortis actually set in.Enjoying the character, pretty scary.We had a
0:08:33 > 0:08:39blast.I loved it.It lacked everything that foxtrot is about.
0:08:39 > 0:08:44The Halloween Game of Thrones dragon breathing, not really what we were
0:08:44 > 0:08:52going for!Then you have succeeded. You definitely worked hard, I could
0:08:52 > 0:08:59see the concentration, the amount of dance.I don't think that this is
0:08:59 > 0:09:04your strength.Made it to the end. Happy we did it, it was a hard life.
0:09:04 > 0:09:09You made some mistakes but didn't show it.You're improving and I
0:09:09 > 0:09:13think it's going in the right direction.She just did so well and
0:09:13 > 0:09:23I think it was her best dance.It was her best, it was really good.
0:09:23 > 0:09:27You looked extremely comfortable and confident doing this dance.Your
0:09:27 > 0:09:31strength of character is definitely coming through.It wasn't enough
0:09:31 > 0:09:38basic steps. The basic steps you did do, you didn't do very well.I think
0:09:38 > 0:09:46the overall performance was very nice.As Davood's on Mum, I felt so
0:09:46 > 0:09:53nervous for him. I was willing for him to do well. -- on-screen mum.
0:09:53 > 0:09:58That was the dead being brought back to life!Amazing.You owned this
0:09:58 > 0:10:08dance.Wow!Clean, precise, absolutely incredible.That was
0:10:08 > 0:10:15brilliant. Absolutely brilliant.I'm going to give you my Queen of Latin
0:10:15 > 0:10:18crown because you deserve it.
0:10:37 > 0:10:41It was a spellbinding night of dance.
0:10:41 > 0:10:4311 stars are quaking in their dancing shoes,
0:10:43 > 0:10:46waiting to find out if they'll make it through to next week.
0:10:46 > 0:10:47Here's a reminder of how Saturday night left our couples
0:10:55 > 0:10:58Debbie and Giovanni with a near-perfect score.
0:10:59 > 0:11:02But how have your votes changed all of that?
0:11:02 > 0:11:11It's time to find out who will be the first to face
0:11:11 > 0:11:12the Dance-off.
0:11:12 > 0:11:13The results are in.

0:13:31 > 0:13:36gutted, we've got to give it our best shot and give everything.Yeah.
0:13:36 > 0:13:42Shall we get some advice from the judges? Please.I'm surprised you
0:13:42 > 0:13:46are in the bottom two, you did extremely well on Saturday evening,
0:13:46 > 0:13:50you've just got to get your weight more forward, go for it and know
0:13:50 > 0:13:57that you're going to do well.Thank you.Good advice. They all behind
0:13:57 > 0:14:00you.Thank you.
0:14:03 > 0:14:10I have four very happy and relieved couples here. Debbie, those lifts
0:14:10 > 0:14:14made social media go absolutely bonkers. Something like 20,000
0:14:14 > 0:14:20tweets in the first minute. Did you think they would get that kind of
0:14:20 > 0:14:23response, in rehearsal?I had no idea it would have that reaction.
0:14:23 > 0:14:29Very well done. Giovanni, it is Debbie's birthday on Tuesday, have
0:14:29 > 0:14:33you got something extraordinary for her?I do but it will be a surprise.
0:14:33 > 0:14:43She's a special person, I will try to make the birthday special.Awww!
0:14:43 > 0:14:47Alexander, next week you are dancing the dance that has been the most
0:14:47 > 0:14:52unpopular this series, the cha-cha. Jonnie didn't like it and even Aston
0:14:52 > 0:14:59said it was tricky. How are you going to do it?All I know is that I
0:14:59 > 0:15:03depend on Gorka so much to get me through everything. It's all in my
0:15:03 > 0:15:09pro's hands and I can only hope I do well with it. It's tricky, we all
0:15:09 > 0:15:12know everything we do is tricky and you can only try your best.Very
0:15:12 > 0:15:19sweet, thank you. Davood, your first lifts next week with the American
0:15:19 > 0:15:23Smooth, you looked quite strong, like you could actually hurt
0:15:23 > 0:15:29someone!

0:15:37 > 0:15:41yes, you will get dropped on your head a couple of times.He is
0:15:41 > 0:15:49joking. You did a beautiful dancer, serious storytelling. Are you
0:15:49 > 0:15:54excited about as seeing a different side of you?Yes, I have got a lot
0:15:54 > 0:15:59to be happy for and I will channel that.Well done to all of you.
0:15:59 > 0:16:01Well done to all of you.

0:19:16 > 0:19:26APPLAUSE CHEERING
0:19:26 > 0:19:27APPLAUSE CHEERING
0:19:27 > 0:19:29Thank you to Steps.
0:19:29 > 0:19:35It's time now for a dance debrief please welcome the judges.
0:19:43 > 0:19:45Thank you so much for coming up here.
0:19:45 > 0:19:47Thank you so much for coming up here.
0:19:47 > 0:19:50Judges, it's time for you to expand on some of the frights
0:19:50 > 0:19:52and delights that you witnessed on Saturday night.
0:19:52 > 0:19:53Shirley, let's start with you.
0:19:53 > 0:19:59You want to talk about Alexandra and Gorka and her core.She was slightly
0:19:59 > 0:20:03off-balance, but because she had an amazing central line, she was able
0:20:03 > 0:20:09to save it and come out quite gracefully. Would you stand up for a
0:20:09 > 0:20:17moment because you slouch a little bit.That is a brave thing to say.
0:20:17 > 0:20:23The central part of the body is here and it is like a fuse box and if one
0:20:23 > 0:20:29part goes out, you can slouch. You have to pull in your fuse box, flat
0:20:29 > 0:20:34in your chest and feel like you are being pulled up by your ears and now
0:20:34 > 0:20:40you should be able to sit down nice and straight. There we go.Thank you
0:20:40 > 0:20:45so much. You are saying that is one of the most important things in
0:20:45 > 0:20:52dance.It is the most important because without your central
0:20:52 > 0:20:56connecting, everything else goes limp. Even when you stand up, you
0:20:56 > 0:21:04should stand up gracefully.Like that?No, not like that. I have
0:21:04 > 0:21:11noticed you do that.Good luck with the rest of the series! Darcey, you
0:21:11 > 0:21:18want to talk about Debbie and Giovanni. They were getting the same
0:21:18 > 0:21:23sort of scores and then this happened.She did not hold back
0:21:23 > 0:21:29atoll, but it was clean and precise. Her character was wild and that is
0:21:29 > 0:21:34exactly what you need in the Charleston and it was daring. It was
0:21:34 > 0:21:39just extraordinary. It was so fast as well, but right on the money.You
0:21:39 > 0:21:45are saying at this point you appreciate risk-taking?Yes, do not
0:21:45 > 0:21:53be safe, no, never.Craig, by the way officially the best jacket I
0:21:53 > 0:22:01have ever seen.A pleasure, darling. You love it when they tell a story
0:22:01 > 0:22:07and you were blown away by Joel and catchier.I loved it, it was almost
0:22:07 > 0:22:11like a contemporary beginning and what I loved is he put all of the
0:22:11 > 0:22:17story into that first 15 seconds of entry. Sometimes people mess around
0:22:17 > 0:22:21with tables and things like that and this was a beautiful story and it
0:22:21 > 0:22:27set the dance up and brought it to life. You can see him here
0:22:27 > 0:22:31dramatically putting himself into it and there was a twist and roll which
0:22:31 > 0:22:37was fantastic, but he had to do that himself. It looked like someone else
0:22:37 > 0:22:41was directing it, but he had to put the impetus into it, I loved it.
0:22:41 > 0:22:48Thank you so much, Craig. Bruno, let me talk to you please about Aston
0:22:48 > 0:22:56and his pimento moves. I love it. You do not often see it. No, you do
0:22:56 > 0:23:02not, but it is part of the required language. He reminded me of a great
0:23:02 > 0:23:11dancer called Quai Keim Cortes and he rejuvenated flamenco. That was a
0:23:11 > 0:23:17fantastic job and the shape was amazing. The arch in his back, it
0:23:17 > 0:23:22was pure artistry.Judges, thank you so much. Let's hear it for the
0:23:22 > 0:23:23judges.
0:23:23 > 0:23:25Let's hear it for the judges.
0:23:25 > 0:23:27So far, four couples are safely through to next week.
0:23:27 > 0:23:28But who will be joining them?
0:23:28 > 0:23:35Tess.
0:23:35 > 0:23:39All of our couples would love to remain in the competition, but one
0:23:39 > 0:23:45of them will join Mollie and AJ in the dance off. It's time to find out
0:23:45 > 0:23:58who. In no particular order, going through to next week are...
0:24:05 > 0:24:24Aston and Janette.Thank you.Yes! Surviving until next Saturday are...
0:24:25 > 0:24:39Susan and Kevin.Hurray! Thank you very much.Returning to the ballroom
0:24:39 > 0:24:50next week are...
0:24:50 > 0:25:05Gemma and Aljaz.Yes! Thank you. Thank you.Also save an...
0:25:11 > 0:25:19Ruth and Anton.Yes!
0:25:24 > 0:25:30So that means Simon and Karen and Jonnie and Oti, one of you is safe
0:25:30 > 0:25:35and one of you is in the dance off. The couple in the bottom two tonight
0:25:35 > 0:25:49who will compete in the dance off is... Simon and Karen. So, Jonnie
0:25:49 > 0:25:54and Oti, congratulations, you are through to next Saturday. Simon and
0:25:54 > 0:26:05Karen, I am sorry, come and join me, please. Dear me. Here we go again.
0:26:05 > 0:26:11Third time in the dance off. What is going through your head?I think it
0:26:11 > 0:26:17is called the Simon Rimmer dance off now. The third time. We probably
0:26:17 > 0:26:21deserved to be here, but we will give it a really good go and give it
0:26:21 > 0:26:27our best shot.Good luck. Craig, you were quite critical, fair to say, on
0:26:27 > 0:26:33Saturday night. Can you give him something positive to work on?Yes,
0:26:33 > 0:26:39I can. Concentrate on your posture, that is something you can do in the
0:26:39 > 0:26:43dance off, and do not display your hands because that is the thing that
0:26:43 > 0:26:48annoys me the most, darling. Even if you do not do anything else.I shall
0:26:48 > 0:26:53glue them together right now.You have got to pull out all the stops,
0:26:53 > 0:27:02so get out there and do it, darling. Thank you.Get out there and do it.
0:27:02 > 0:27:06We wish you all the luck in the world. We will see you later.
0:27:06 > 0:27:18Claudia, it is over to you. Five more couples are safely through.
0:27:18 > 0:27:23Your first pen, how does that feel? Amazing, but that is not a nice
0:27:23 > 0:27:29place to be.On the upside is it true that you give celebrities hand
0:27:29 > 0:27:38massages before the show?Yes, in the make up, I am there on hand.
0:27:38 > 0:27:42Gemma, we are addicted to your reactions to getting through because
0:27:42 > 0:27:49everyone is happy, but you have taken over. You love it.I
0:27:49 > 0:27:54absolutely loved it. I am genuinely so happy to be here every week, so
0:27:54 > 0:27:58when you are waiting to find that if it is your last week, it is
0:27:58 > 0:28:04horrible. It is such a relief. I can't contain it. It is a lovely
0:28:04 > 0:28:10feeling, said thank you for voting. Thank you so much. Ruth, you are
0:28:10 > 0:28:16through. Shall we have a celebratory nose wiggle. Was it lovely to hear
0:28:16 > 0:28:21Shirley say you are in proving every week?Absolutely, that is what you
0:28:21 > 0:28:26want to do and every Monday you go back to Monday and you never get to
0:28:26 > 0:28:29do this dance again, so sometimes you do not feel like you are
0:28:29 > 0:28:35improving, so when they say you are improving, it is fantastic.Jonnie,
0:28:35 > 0:28:42your face. Did you think you would be in the dance off?I think I let
0:28:42 > 0:28:50myself down in that dance. Nope! It is true, it was not my best

0:31:38 > 0:31:43think we need to give everything we've got. It is such a fun routine.
0:31:43 > 0:31:48Just give everything we got inside of us.Don't hold back.Exactly, no
0:31:48 > 0:31:53holding back.Best of luck. It's always hard to say goodbye to any

0:36:01 > 0:36:06Judges, it's time to decide.
0:36:06 > 0:36:07Based on that Dance-off alone,
0:36:07 > 0:36:10I'm about to ask each of you the name of the couple
0:36:10 > 0:36:12you think deserves to stay and why.
0:36:12 > 0:36:15The couple with the most votes will remain in the competition,
0:36:15 > 0:36:17meaning the other couple is out of Strictly Come Dancing.
0:36:17 > 0:36:20In the event of a split decision head judge Shirley,
0:36:20 > 0:36:24you will have the casting vote.
0:36:24 > 0:36:30Simon and Karen and Mollie and AJ, this is it. Craig, who are you going
0:36:30 > 0:36:34to save and why?I love the routine, it was more technically demanding
0:36:34 > 0:36:42and simply but, danced better and that is Mollie and AJ.
0:36:42 > 0:36:46Congratulations, Mollie and AJ. That's one vote for you. Darcey, who
0:36:46 > 0:36:53should stay and why?The couple I'd like to save, just because they had
0:36:53 > 0:37:01a more competent performance, Mollie and AJ.Two votes for Mollie and AJ.
0:37:01 > 0:37:05If Bruno votes to save you, then you are indeed through to next Saturday.
0:37:05 > 0:37:10Who do you want to stay, and why? I'm going to pick a couple who I
0:37:10 > 0:37:14really think did the better performance in terms of content and
0:37:14 > 0:37:20performance value and for that reason I would say Mollie and AJ.
0:37:20 > 0:37:27That means we're going to have to say goodbye to Simon and Karen.
0:37:27 > 0:37:33Mollie and AJ, congratulations. We will see you next Saturday. And
0:37:33 > 0:37:36Charley, it won't make any difference to the result, but did

0:38:24 > 0:38:28person who has said thank you, messages, it's been brilliant but
0:38:28 > 0:38:36the biggest thank you obviously is to Karen who has been amazing, who
0:38:36 > 0:38:40has convinced this lumbering 54-year-old bloke that I could stand
