0:13:37 > 0:13:38APPLAUSE
0:13:38 > 0:13:40It was a shock to see them
0:13:40 > 0:13:42in the dance-off last week,
0:13:42 > 0:13:44but Mollie's determined to bounce back with a foxtrot

0:13:46 > 0:13:49We've got the lights and the cameras, now it's up
0:13:49 > 0:13:50to Mollie and AJ to deliver the action.
0:13:57 > 0:14:00Saturday was so much fun, but I think from the comments, I could
0:14:00 > 0:14:05have done better.You have to be careful how you place your feet.
0:14:05 > 0:14:09Your shoulders, you start to wear them as earrings.Gutted to be in
0:14:09 > 0:14:17the dance off. I don't want this to be the end.We are going to show
0:14:17 > 0:14:26them.Mollie plays a famous actress in listing AJ as a runner.Could be
0:14:26 > 0:14:33my run for the day.OK. You likely want to make me a cup of tea, then?
0:14:33 > 0:14:45The kettle that way. Some seedless oranges, with seeds in, non-glittery
0:14:45 > 0:14:52glitter. Have you got back?Yes. What was it again?
0:14:57 > 0:15:04It's day three and we're doing the foxtrot. Pink dress... AJ... Did you
0:15:04 > 0:15:12get that?Yes, foxtrot, pink. I don't think this running is for me.
0:15:12 > 0:15:16Thankfully, AJ has put his dancing shoes back on, so fingers crossed,
0:15:16 > 0:15:19we have an award-winning foxtrot this weekend.
0:15:19 > 0:15:22Dancing the foxtrot, Mollie King and her partner AJ Pritchard
0:15:25 > 0:15:33MUSIC: Call Me Irresponsible.
0:16:53 > 0:17:00APPLAUSE
0:17:04 > 0:17:10Oh, Mollie! Lovely Mollie and AJ. You looked
0:17:10 > 0:17:18like a princess out there. How was it for you?Loved every minute.
0:17:18 > 0:17:26Dance-off last week.
0:17:26 > 0:17:30It started beautifully. You have to understand, the foxtrot seems to be
0:17:30 > 0:17:33easy, light and fluffy, but it is one of the hardest answers to
0:17:33 > 0:17:38control. In the first half, it was absolutely beautiful, well-placed,
0:17:38 > 0:17:42lovely side stretch on the back. There was an incident on a turn,
0:17:42 > 0:17:49when unfortunately... What happened? Did you go one the wrong foot?I've
0:17:49 > 0:17:56no idea.Apart from that, you did a really good job in controlling
0:17:56 > 0:18:04yourself, placing it well, elegant, classy, nice job.Thank you.Cray,
0:18:04 > 0:18:11what do you think?Though were some balance issues, but you recovered.
0:18:11 > 0:18:18Your pivot's was sometimes taken on a flat foot rather than on a heel.
0:18:18 > 0:18:22You maintain your top line in the good sections. The transitions were
0:18:22 > 0:18:26really smooth. I thought it was classy, stylish, and I thought it
0:18:26 > 0:18:34was elegant. APPLAUSE
0:18:34 > 0:18:39Darcey, what did you think?You are turning into an elegant, stylish,
0:18:39 > 0:18:44classy lady. We have gotten to know you as a sweet couple, but that was
0:18:44 > 0:18:49elegant all the way through. Even though you were thrown by being
0:18:49 > 0:18:53off-balance, you recovered well. You are producing nice glide, and it
0:18:53 > 0:18:56really is paying off. Keep this up. Thank you.
0:18:56 > 0:18:59Shirley, last week you asked Mollie to work on her core.
0:18:59 > 0:19:03Is that work starting to pay off?
0:19:03 > 0:19:07I have an appreciation for you being in the bottom two and coming out and
0:19:07 > 0:19:11doing the performance you have just done. You are to keep your shoulders
0:19:11 > 0:19:16down. What was impressive for me was how slowly you took the music. You
0:19:16 > 0:19:20didn't race, didn't chase, beautifully timed from both of you.
0:19:20 > 0:19:24You had a beautiful, elegant line. Just a little mishap, but impressive
0:19:24 > 0:19:27that you picked it back up again. Definitely going in the right
0:19:27 > 0:19:31direction. Just that little slip today, but otherwise a performance.
0:19:31 > 0:19:35APPLAUSE Going in the right direction. One
0:19:35 > 0:19:40thing is for sure - she doesn't want to be in the dance off again. Am I
0:19:40 > 0:19:41right?Please, yes.
0:19:41 > 0:19:51Mollie and AJ!
0:19:55 > 0:20:03I saw your little thing. You recovered, and if that had happened
0:20:03 > 0:20:09in week one or week two.We worked so hard and then I made that mistake
0:20:09 > 0:20:15on the night, I'm so sorry.But you got straight back into position and
0:20:15 > 0:20:19picked it up.It added more character. It is horrible to be in
0:20:19 > 0:20:24the dance off then back in training, but you just went, no, we will do
0:20:24 > 0:20:28it.You have to carry on, and we are loving every minute. You have to
0:20:28 > 0:20:32pick yourself up, and we're having so much fun, so fingers and
0:20:32 > 0:20:32everything crossed week.
0:20:32 > 0:20:35The scores are in.
0:20:35 > 0:20:36The judges have their scores.

0:21:03 > 0:21:06If you loved Mollie and AJ's foxtrot and want to keep them
0:21:06 > 0:21:09in the competition for another week, all the details you need
0:21:09 > 0:21:10are on your screen now.
0:21:10 > 0:21:12Please don't call yet as voting won't open
0:21:12 > 0:21:13until all our couples have danced.
0:21:13 > 0:21:16Still to come, Aston and Janette do a Viennese waltz set
0:21:16 > 0:21:18at the hairdresser's.
0:21:18 > 0:21:20I had a haircut once, not my bag.

0:21:24 > 0:21:27Dancing next is Joe McFadden and his partner Katya Jones.
0:21:27 > 0:21:30APPLAUSE.
0:21:30 > 0:21:32After last week's foxtrot, the judges said how much they loved
0:21:32 > 0:21:37Joe's brilliant story telling.
0:21:37 > 0:21:39He's hoping that tonight's chapter -
0:21:39 > 0:21:46The Charleston - has another happy ending.
0:21:46 > 0:21:50Davood Saturday night went really well. Every is always room for
0:21:50 > 0:21:54improvement, but the judges seemed please.A kiss from the Black widow
0:21:54 > 0:21:58and you are toast. I have to say, you managed this situation like a
0:21:58 > 0:22:07master.On the Leader Board there is a nice place to be. I am keeping
0:22:07 > 0:22:22good company.Joel is performing as a drumming soldier.-- Cho. How hard
0:22:22 > 0:22:26can it be? We came all the way out to be with this marching band, and
0:22:26 > 0:22:30it sounds amazing. It was really good fun.We were a little bit
0:22:30 > 0:22:41rubbish, I must admit. I am sure this band wouldn't want us to join
0:22:41 > 0:22:51them.It was lots of fun.Wow! That wasn't easy, was it? Are you ready
0:22:51 > 0:22:57for the charleston?Hopefully we can drum up some good scores.His
0:22:57 > 0:23:02dancing is better than his jamming. It has been a great experience and
0:23:02 > 0:23:06hopefully we will be marching through to next week.
0:23:06 > 0:23:10Dancing the Charleston, Joe McFadden and his partner Katya Jones.

0:24:37 > 0:24:47APPLAUSE
0:24:52 > 0:25:08Joe and Katya. You want to do it again? They were so cute together.
0:25:08 > 0:25:14You have really found your dancing feet. Was a smile on your face,
0:25:14 > 0:25:20Cray?A smile on more than my face, darling, actually! I loved it,
0:25:20 > 0:25:26thought it was absolutely brilliant, really did. I loved the Ragtime
0:25:26 > 0:25:31passing thing, the little head wobble you are doing, all the little
0:25:31 > 0:25:34additions, the coordination, darling, although is very difficult
0:25:34 > 0:25:38positions bust up I thought it was fantastic. The only thing I would
0:25:38 > 0:25:45say is...Oh, come on!Your left hip didn't swivel as much as you're
0:25:45 > 0:25:52right. But that was great. APPLAUSE
0:25:52 > 0:25:59Darcey...You gave us the charm of the silent movies, never cheesy. The
0:25:59 > 0:26:05timing was immaculate. Again, as you said, surprising details. Ahead.
0:26:05 > 0:26:08Wonderful swivel, really clean. I loved it when you turn out that the
0:26:08 > 0:26:11charleston Basic as well, very impressive. That was a great
0:26:11 > 0:26:24charleston.Those acting skills come in handy. Shirley...Could it be
0:26:24 > 0:26:39dark horse Joe? You have done amazing today.Bruder's face...It
0:26:39 > 0:26:43was effortless, the lifts were synchronised. You timed it well,
0:26:43 > 0:26:47took a rock, brought her down. It was exquisite, you did your swivels.
0:26:47 > 0:27:02I didn't see you not doing it on the left. -- took her up.What I like,
0:27:02 > 0:27:05it had a charm, a festive feel, almost like the Nutcracker. And then
0:27:05 > 0:27:13it was this element of fun and games and child's play, not over the top
0:27:13 > 0:27:18slapstick. It was well judged, as a child would put it together. The
0:27:18 > 0:27:25choreography was incredibly demanding.It really was.Keeping in
0:27:25 > 0:27:30sync and doing things in opposition is so difficult. Great job!Yes!
0:27:30 > 0:27:42Great comments. Well done, our toy soldiers.
0:27:42 > 0:27:47Well done. You love it when you have to take on a real character, and
0:27:47 > 0:27:51last week you said, I will show were totally different side.Hopefully I
0:27:51 > 0:27:59did. We have to thank Jenny who helped us put it together.We also
0:27:59 > 0:28:06have to say hello to your nephews, who might be the cutest people.
0:28:06 > 0:28:16Fellow! They might be asleep, but anyway... Well done.

0:28:32 > 0:28:36That is your highest score, your first nine. You have broken the
0:28:36 > 0:28:42curse. It used to go... I didn't want to mention it.
0:28:42 > 0:28:43If you thought Joe and Katya's Charleston
0:28:43 > 0:28:46was fantastic, please make sure that they get your vote.
0:28:46 > 0:28:48All the details are on your screen and voting will open
0:28:48 > 0:28:50towards the end of the show.
0:28:50 > 0:28:52Still to come, Debbie and Giovanni perform a tango.
0:28:52 > 0:28:54And Ruth and Anton dance the paso doble

0:28:58 > 0:29:00Next in the ballroom is Gemma Atkinson and her
0:29:00 > 0:29:01partner Aljaz Skorjanec.
0:29:01 > 0:29:04APPLAUSE.
0:29:04 > 0:29:07Last week, Gemma took on the jive as Buffy.
0:29:07 > 0:29:10She slayed her vampire and nailed the dance.
0:29:10 > 0:29:18Now all she's got to do tonight, is deliver a killer salsa.
0:29:18 > 0:29:23How did it go last weekend?OK, it could have gone better. I forgot the
0:29:23 > 0:29:34beginning.Got on the wrong foot. It was nothing. You did a good job.We
0:29:34 > 0:29:38got a good score. I want to come back fighting. I do not want to go
0:29:38 > 0:29:47this far and have it taken away. This week, Gemma will dance a salsa.
0:29:47 > 0:29:52In walks me and we dance salsa. What else do you do when you meet a guy
0:29:52 > 0:29:59in a bar?Did somebody say bar? That is where Gemma has taken Aljaz for
0:29:59 > 0:30:04inspiration.I have a grass skirt, bracelets, headband. What are you
0:30:04 > 0:30:15having?This is a lovely clear juice. I am trying my best to put
0:30:15 > 0:30:21together a refreshing juice for Gemma.It is disgusting. Leave that
0:30:21 > 0:30:25to the bartender and focus on dancing.The surprise this afternoon
0:30:25 > 0:30:35was the lovely hula dancers.Really good.I picked up some tips. We wish
0:30:35 > 0:30:42her all the luck on Saturday night. I hope it is better than Aljaz's
0:30:42 > 0:30:43drink making skills.
0:30:43 > 0:30:44Dancing the salsa, Gemma Atkinson and
0:30:44 > 0:30:49Aljaz Skorjanec.
0:30:49 > 0:30:59MUSIC: Sun Comes Up.
0:32:15 > 0:32:25CHEERING AND APPLAUSE.
0:32:28 > 0:32:40Oh, yes. Well done. That is a party I want to go to. Brilliant.What
0:32:40 > 0:32:45about you, Darcey? Definitely hot and saucy. When you got into the
0:32:45 > 0:32:51split, very impressive. It is when you get into the first lift, it
0:32:51 > 0:32:55started to look laboured. I think you got nervous when the lifts
0:32:55 > 0:33:05happened. A little tip. When you go into a lift you have to keep your
0:33:05 > 0:33:10body taut because if you sink into a lift, the man has nothing to push
0:33:10 > 0:33:17from. It is difficult, especially at speed. It is about a clean dismount,
0:33:17 > 0:33:22so he has something to resist, as well. Take that with you because it
0:33:22 > 0:33:25is about detail now and we are halfway through the competition and
0:33:25 > 0:33:30we can see what you are capable of. You are strong and I know you can
0:33:30 > 0:33:39produce the goods.Surely. I agree with Darcey when it comes to lifts.
0:33:39 > 0:33:46You have to have the core and great timing. But it is beautiful to see
0:33:46 > 0:33:52somebody rotate their feet in the direction they are moving and you
0:33:52 > 0:33:56did that exquisitely. Lovely rotation around your centre and
0:33:56 > 0:33:58great coordination with the other half of the body.
0:33:58 > 0:34:07APPLAUSE Love that!Bruno? Oh, darling,
0:34:07 > 0:34:15always tasty with the right amount of spice. You really are a good
0:34:15 > 0:34:21dancer, you can do everything, but at times, do not think, let yourself
0:34:21 > 0:34:27go. Especially with the salsa. You cannot be timid. The body moves all
0:34:27 > 0:34:34of the time. All it is, it is continuous. Do not overthink. When
0:34:34 > 0:34:41you approach the lift, I can see, oh, I am going to do a lift. I can
0:34:41 > 0:34:46see it. And then, I am coming down. You understand what I mean? You are
0:34:46 > 0:34:52very good, but these thoughts cannot be seen in the performance.Yes?
0:34:52 > 0:35:02Well done. Craig.The lifts looked a little bit heavy. You were not
0:35:02 > 0:35:09exactly light coming out of them and there was no real figure of eight
0:35:09 > 0:35:13rotation on your hips. You got good side to side but you need the
0:35:13 > 0:35:20rotation and I agree with Bruno about the continuity. The seamless
0:35:20 > 0:35:24nature of this dance. We did not quite get that but I loved the
0:35:24 > 0:35:33routine. I loved what you were going for.Thank you very much. We laughed
0:35:33 > 0:35:39the lifts. You are daring. Very brave attempting them. -- we laughed
0:35:39 > 0:35:39the
0:35:44 > 0:35:45-- loved.
0:35:45 > 0:35:48Gemma and Aljaz.
0:35:48 > 0:35:58CHEERING Well done. I think you said it was
0:35:58 > 0:36:07like being on a roller-coaster.A huge lift. Three. But we did not
0:36:07 > 0:36:15fall, he did not drop me.It was a lovely salsa.It felt like. It was a
0:36:15 > 0:36:15lovely salsa.
0:36:15 > 0:36:16The scores are in.
0:36:16 > 0:36:19Craig Revel Horwood.

0:36:26 > 0:36:35Bruno Tonioli.
0:36:35 > 0:36:4226, are you happy? Yes. When the five came out, everybody went, what?
0:36:42 > 0:36:45If you adored Gemma and Aljaz's salsa and want to see
0:36:45 > 0:36:48them back again next week, please vote.
0:36:48 > 0:36:50All the details you need are on screen now and voting
0:36:50 > 0:36:53will open once all of our couples have performed.
0:36:53 > 0:37:00There's still all of this to come...
0:37:00 > 0:37:07This week we have a salsa and it's a little bit more free and you can
0:37:07 > 0:37:15have fun with it.We just had one of those. We are doing the Viennese
0:37:15 > 0:37:21waltz and we are back in hold and I love being in holes.I am aware I am
0:37:21 > 0:37:33a clean and tidy dancer.I am happy, we are in a good place.I am a
0:37:33 > 0:37:36fierce woman. My husband would say I can be quite fierce.
0:37:36 > 0:37:38I'm looking forward to that.
0:37:38 > 0:37:41What are you doing, Claudia?
0:37:41 > 0:37:43I've just borrowed the piano from Alexandra's routine.
0:37:43 > 0:37:45I didn't know you played the piano.
0:37:45 > 0:37:47I can give you a little Bach.
0:37:47 > 0:37:50DOG BARKS.
0:37:50 > 0:37:54LAUGHTER.
0:37:54 > 0:37:56Next in the ballroom is Aston Merrygold and his
0:37:56 > 0:37:57partner Janette Manrara.
0:37:57 > 0:38:04APPLAUSE.
0:38:04 > 0:38:07Last week's powerful paso bagged Aston two tens.
0:38:07 > 0:38:10Tonight he's doing a Viennese waltz to a song by Michael Jackson.
0:38:10 > 0:38:14As a big fan, he wants to take last week's score of 38 and "Beat It".
0:38:14 > 0:38:18APPLAUSE
0:38:18 > 0:38:25How did it go?I loved it. The most fun I have had on the Strictly
0:38:25 > 0:38:34journey. Stunning. In the routine Ginette made me do a solo.You owned
0:38:34 > 0:38:39the dance.Think how high you jumped. I was in the air. My
0:38:39 > 0:38:46favourite week so far.I was just over the moon. This week it is a
0:38:46 > 0:38:54Viennese waltz.To Jackson 5. Probably one of my favourite songs.
0:38:54 > 0:38:59I heard you were once Michael Jackson as a kid.I did a show
0:38:59 > 0:39:07called Stars In Their Eyes.. Tonight, Matthew, I am going to be
0:39:07 > 0:39:13Michael Jackson. You are so cute. I have not aged much. About the same
0:39:13 > 0:39:19height, so that is fine.I am a massive Michael Jackson fan. I like
0:39:19 > 0:39:24the outfit, we can bring back the red trousers.As long as they are
0:39:24 > 0:39:30not those, because they are very small.He was amazing, singing and
0:39:30 > 0:39:35dancing. Awesome. I know if you channel your hero, you will be
0:39:35 > 0:39:39amazing on the night.
0:39:39 > 0:39:41Dancing the Viennese waltz, Aston Merrygold and
0:39:41 > 0:39:49Janette Manrara.
0:39:53 > 0:39:59MUSIC: Who's Loving Who.
0:41:29 > 0:41:39CHEERING AND APPLAUSE.
0:41:44 > 0:41:51Lovely! It was dreamy.
0:41:51 > 0:41:56I love how you put a little Aston twist on every dance.
0:41:56 > 0:41:59And I love that Afro.
0:41:59 > 0:42:04Second on the leaderboard last week.
0:42:04 > 0:42:10You always bring your unique style, from the paso doble last week, to
0:42:10 > 0:42:15certain elements of this dance this evening. I thought you had a good
0:42:15 > 0:42:19attempt at a fleckerl, reasonably good footwork and your pivot foot
0:42:19 > 0:42:24work was good on your heels. I would like you to feel you are absorbing
0:42:24 > 0:42:31through the knees. It was poppy and bouncing in areas. Not your best for
0:42:31 > 0:42:39me. You did pretty good. I liked certain elements but generally the
0:42:39 > 0:42:44Viennese waltz should be flattered. But a good try. Good try. The
0:42:44 > 0:42:55audience enjoyed it.The Viennese waltz, it lost its way into 1974. He
0:42:55 > 0:43:00has not quite found the way to Vienna. As much as I liked the
0:43:00 > 0:43:05concept. I like different things that the Viennese waltz, imagine
0:43:05 > 0:43:12swans gliding on a lake. There are no sharp edges and nothing that
0:43:12 > 0:43:18Paul's and throws. It is flawless and weightless and I think by
0:43:18 > 0:43:23putting this character across, the dance lost the style. Not that you
0:43:23 > 0:43:29are not a good dancer but somehow it did not gel. Sometimes it works when
0:43:29 > 0:43:38we take risks that this time it did not quite gel.A brave attempt.
0:43:38 > 0:43:44Maybe it is their hair. The hair is everything.Craig. It had too much
0:43:44 > 0:43:48attack and lacked grace and any form of elegance. Your posture was a
0:43:48 > 0:43:57little bit poor. Your feet closing and your bottom sticking out. There
0:43:57 > 0:44:02was an enormous amount of rise and fall. You can have a slight amount.
0:44:02 > 0:44:08You should try to dance this on an even keel, as we have all said. Some
0:44:08 > 0:44:17things do not always work out. Darcey. We have high expectations.
0:44:17 > 0:44:21We see what you can produce and you are an incredibly confident
0:44:21 > 0:44:27performer. It is natural for you, especially out of hold, you come
0:44:27 > 0:44:32alive. But when you are in hold, the energy dies and I see you switch
0:44:32 > 0:44:37off. There is concentration, a lot of rotation, it is difficult, but I
0:44:37 > 0:44:43want to see the energy in the top line. To still enjoy it when you are
0:44:43 > 0:44:48in hold. Keep that going, because these ballrooms are just as
0:44:48 > 0:44:57important as Latin.Thank you. We all loved it. Well done, darling.
0:44:57 > 0:45:01Aston and Janette.
0:45:13 > 0:45:19Aston, I'm so sorry.Don't be sorry. Did you agree with the comments? You
0:45:19 > 0:45:24loved the waltz, made you quite tearful, and this one, you didn't
0:45:24 > 0:45:30like as much?I thought the song was amazing and I got excited. The
0:45:30 > 0:45:37routine was great. We had fun, which I think is the main thing.The
0:45:37 > 0:45:41audience loved it. Your dad and your grandma, Charlie and Mavis, are here
0:45:41 > 0:45:48for the first time. So, very well done.
0:45:48 > 0:45:49The scores are in.
0:45:49 > 0:45:51The judges have their scores.
0:45:51 > 0:45:52Craig Revel Horwood.
0:45:52 > 0:45:55Darcey Bussell.
0:45:55 > 0:46:01Shirley Ballas.
0:46:01 > 0:46:11Bruno Tonioli.
0:46:12 > 0:46:17You've never had a four. Janette, would you like to reply?It's better
0:46:17 > 0:46:28than a three!You didn't do it badly. We adored it.I'm happy, and
0:46:28 > 0:46:32that's what's important. We had fun out there.
0:46:32 > 0:46:34If you thought Aston and Janette's Viennese waltz
0:46:34 > 0:46:37was a highlight and you'd like to see them back gain next
0:46:37 > 0:46:39week, all the details you need are on your screen now.
0:46:39 > 0:46:47The vote will open at the end of the show.
0:46:47 > 0:46:51They are all in shock behind be. Aston got a four?
0:46:51 > 0:46:57We're halfway through, let's see how the leaderboard looks.
0:47:00 > 0:47:02We have five couples left to dance.
0:47:02 > 0:47:07Tess.
0:47:07 > 0:47:09And, our next couple is Ruth Langsford and her
0:47:09 > 0:47:10partner Anton du Beke.
0:47:10 > 0:47:12APPLAUSE
0:47:12 > 0:47:14They're doing the paso doble.
0:47:14 > 0:47:17In this routine, Ruth will be a Spanish senorita
0:47:17 > 0:47:19from Seville and Anton will be the manly, macho matador.
0:47:19 > 0:47:21That's if Ruth allows it.
0:47:29 > 0:47:33You were amazing on Saturday night. I think you get slightly better
0:47:33 > 0:47:37every week.Thank you. I'm over the terror and now I'm enjoying the
0:47:37 > 0:47:43dance.You have gained such confidence. You made little mistakes
0:47:43 > 0:47:51but you carried on.Is a rare chance we can --is a chance we can enjoy
0:47:51 > 0:47:59it and it go well?Don't hold your breath!This week, the paso doble.
0:47:59 > 0:48:04It is fiery and fast, but I have to bring the performance, stop being
0:48:04 > 0:48:08self-conscious, and the count and the rhythm of the dance changes and
0:48:08 > 0:48:13I have to remember where.Five, six... The easiest way for success
0:48:13 > 0:48:21in the dance is to count out loud. Two, three...Oh, four. When you
0:48:21 > 0:48:25can't remember the steps, it makes you panic. Then you can't remember
0:48:25 > 0:48:30the steps even more, like a vicious circle.You need to not be surprised
0:48:30 > 0:48:36by what comes next.It's ridiculous, isn't it? Just frustration and
0:48:36 > 0:48:42embarrassment. I love the paso doble, but I find it hard and I'm
0:48:42 > 0:48:47working hard.Three and four...I hope, on Saturday, I can bring it to
0:48:47 > 0:48:48the floor.
0:48:51 > 0:48:52Dancing the paso doble, Ruth Langsford and
0:48:52 > 0:48:54Anton du Beke.
0:48:54 > 0:48:57APPLAUSE
0:48:57 > 0:49:01MUSIC: The Shady Dame From Seville.
0:50:32 > 0:50:42APPLAUSE
0:51:04 > 0:51:10!. Come on, we are live.
0:51:21 > 0:51:30Your husband's face was a picture. That was fabulous.Sorry about that.
0:51:30 > 0:51:31The ending wasn't planned.
0:51:31 > 0:51:32From tears in training
0:51:32 > 0:51:39to laughter on the dance floor.
0:51:39 > 0:51:47What did you think of this senorita's paso technique, Bruno?
0:51:47 > 0:51:54Skip it!There is one thing, Anton, she will never pass for a bull. And
0:51:54 > 0:52:08you look like Manuel from Fawlty Towers. Murder on the dance floor -
0:52:08 > 0:52:12what more do you want? APPLAUSE
0:52:12 > 0:52:27Cray?-- Craig? This is from a film, this choreography, which was
0:52:27 > 0:52:31essentially a drag act, which is essentially what we got to know. It
0:52:31 > 0:52:35is entertainment versus technique. I think you are being really smart,
0:52:35 > 0:52:38Anton, by choosing the entertainment group, because at least the people
0:52:38 > 0:52:49at home will vote for it, but I can't possibly. BooingI can't tell
0:52:49 > 0:52:59you how hurt I am, and can I say, surprised.Ruth, if you could hold
0:52:59 > 0:53:03onto a narrative like that all the way through a dance, I want to watch
0:53:03 > 0:53:10it every time. You came alive. The looks you gave Anton, it was just
0:53:10 > 0:53:16divine. It was like, come over here! Put him in his place, I love that.
0:53:16 > 0:53:23When it came together was those wonderful cakes as you came round.
0:53:23 > 0:53:31You controlled those. -- kicks. Don't give up on the content or the
0:53:31 > 0:53:42technique, you are going somewhere.
0:53:43 > 0:53:57Bays-mac...You represent absolute joy, so I'm sure there's not a
0:53:57 > 0:54:07household in England that didn't enjoy that. -- Shirley. You had some
0:54:07 > 0:54:13great promenade positions in there. You had syncopated separation, the
0:54:13 > 0:54:20start of the grand step, some basic steps in there.We had them all.
0:54:20 > 0:54:29That was a very interesting paso doble.They enjoyed it. Thank you.
0:54:29 > 0:54:33Such a charmer. And you always give us fantastic entertainment. Off you
0:54:33 > 0:54:36go, darling.
0:54:36 > 0:54:46Ruth and Anton!
0:54:51 > 0:54:59I think that might be the best thing I've ever seen.Did I trip you?No.
0:54:59 > 0:55:07I will discuss it with you later.It was so fun.Can we stop saying fun
0:55:07 > 0:55:11and start saying marvellous art?It was absolutely phenomenal.
0:55:11 > 0:55:13The scores are in.
0:55:13 > 0:55:14The judges have their scores.

0:55:30 > 0:55:35Same as last week.We did a sensible dance last week and got 22.That was
0:55:35 > 0:55:42fantastic.If that was 22, we've run the mark.
0:55:42 > 0:55:45If you think that Ruth and Anton deserve to remain
0:55:45 > 0:55:48in the competition, please make sure that you give them your vote.

1:00:44 > 1:00:47straight point, you gave meeting goals down my back. That was
1:00:47 > 1:00:58extraordinary. -- you gave me tingles. I do not think I have ever

1:01:03 > 1:01:13better.Surely. Debbie McGee, that was a beautiful international tango.
1:01:13 > 1:01:20You had fast feet. You had no rise and fall. For me, it was
1:01:20 > 1:01:26outstanding. Every week, you are flying high and that was
1:01:26 > 1:01:31unbelievable. Congratulations, that is one of the most difficult dances
1:01:31 > 1:01:37and you executed it with first class.Bruno. My darling, it was
1:01:37 > 1:01:48like watching a tango masterclass. Flawless.Voila. I think they liked

1:03:55 > 1:04:01APPLAUSE
1:04:01 > 1:04:04Jonnie and Oti were criticized for their cha cha last week
1:04:04 > 1:04:07but tonight they've got a chance to salsa their way back
1:04:07 > 1:04:13in the judges' good books.
1:04:13 > 1:04:18I loved Halloween and dressing up as a pirate but it did not go as well
1:04:18 > 1:04:22as it should have. It went wrong from the get go.There was no
1:04:22 > 1:04:27rotation and it lacked body action. I was nervous at the Results Show.
1:04:27 > 1:04:37We were in the danger zone.But we picked ourselves up and we go again.
1:04:37 > 1:04:42This week we will be dancing the salsa.Shimmy! The salsa is about
1:04:42 > 1:04:49the party and feeling fun. I love with the salsa you get to lift
1:04:49 > 1:04:53again.I like to come up with new lifts, dangerous lifts.It will be a
1:04:53 > 1:05:02challenge. Are you OK? It is scary when you do a lift for the first
1:05:02 > 1:05:10time. It can go wrong easily. Pretty much her safety in my hands. The
1:05:10 > 1:05:15lifts are cool. They are quite dangerous. She has put a lot of
1:05:15 > 1:05:20trust in me. I have to try my best to learn the technique and make sure
1:05:20 > 1:05:24I do it right. We just did a run through in the studio for the first
1:05:24 > 1:05:29time and I think it went OK. The salsa is having fun and having a
1:05:29 > 1:05:32good time and if we can show that and nail the lifts, the dance should
1:05:32 > 1:05:35be great.
1:05:35 > 1:05:39Dancing the salsa, Jonnie Peacock and Oti Mabuse.

1:07:09 > 1:07:19CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
1:07:26 > 1:07:36Jonnie and Oti. My mum is watching. Cover it up. So much trust in this
1:07:36 > 1:07:43relationship and you can see the trust in the partnership. The lifts.
1:07:43 > 1:07:49A hot series of lifts. The arms. How you handled Oti throwing herself at
1:07:49 > 1:07:55you and on the turns how you managed those. You lack a lot of hip
1:07:55 > 1:08:01rotation but you make up with it with the upper body, the EE is, you
1:08:01 > 1:08:06were comfortable. You have no fear and it is a fabulous attitude, keep
1:08:06 > 1:08:25that up -- ease.Surely.I'm sorry, Bruno. I am on. You always deliver.
1:08:25 > 1:08:30Your strength. The fearless attack on the lifts. She was in a spin
1:08:30 > 1:08:35dryer, so much in the air and turning but you always manage to
1:08:35 > 1:08:41catch her. You did not drop her, I thought you were going to. And you
1:08:41 > 1:08:46had a nice move on the upper half. It must translate down. The salsa is
1:08:46 > 1:08:50on the hip. You kept it going up here while it should be a little
1:08:50 > 1:09:04bit...I need lessons from you. Surely. I was right, it was you.
1:09:04 > 1:09:08Week number seven and what is with? It is not necessarily always the
1:09:08 > 1:09:14lower half of the body but you can have a natural pulse with the upper
1:09:14 > 1:09:19body and that is what you have. You did a double under arm turn and you
1:09:19 > 1:09:24kept the pulse. You are finding rhythms that suit Jonnie Peacock.
1:09:24 > 1:09:35Thank you.Craig.I would like to see more salsa but the beauty is you
1:09:35 > 1:09:40showed Oti, which is amazing, you presented her well. The lifts were
1:09:40 > 1:09:49spectacular. A little bit more rotation, but I loved it.Not bad
1:09:49 > 1:10:06from them. Well done, Jonnie.Well done. Jonnie, well done, darling.
1:10:06 > 1:10:11Last week... They are animals! You did not like the cha-cha last week.
1:10:11 > 1:10:16You did not like it as much but out there, you looked joyful and in
1:10:16 > 1:10:21rehearsals and when I see you on It Takes Two.You have to go out and
1:10:21 > 1:10:25have fun which is what I tried to do. Maybe I do not have the hips
1:10:25 > 1:10:28just yet but you have to try to have fun.

1:11:37 > 1:11:45Game Of Thrones inspired Halloween week was brilliant. It really was.
1:11:45 > 1:11:49Four people in the room were less pleased. It may have lacked
1:11:49 > 1:11:54everything foxtrot is about.We will pick ourselves up and come back
1:11:54 > 1:12:00fighting. Comeback jiving.We will not give up.We never give up. This
1:12:00 > 1:12:05week we are dancing the jive.It looks like a lot of fun. During
1:12:05 > 1:12:10training, Susan got a visit from her number one supporter, her wife.We
1:12:10 > 1:12:17are doing the jive today.We have put a lot in.I can see you are
1:12:17 > 1:12:24working hard.Would you like to see the jive? I would love to see it.
1:12:24 > 1:12:30Seeing Susan dances two words, utter joy. Well done, I loved it.It was
1:12:30 > 1:12:34nice for her to pop by and see what we get up to in the training room.
1:12:34 > 1:12:39Would you like to learn from Kevin Clifton? I would love to. I think
1:12:39 > 1:12:46she enjoyed the jive. She had a go and realises how tiring it is. Good
1:12:46 > 1:12:52luck for Saturday.You will get better and better.You are amazing.
1:12:52 > 1:12:55It has been lovely to have my wife in the training room and hopefully I
1:12:55 > 1:13:00will take all of the support into our jive.

1:13:02 > 1:13:05MUSIC: This Ole House
1:14:38 > 1:14:47APPLAUSE
1:14:52 > 1:14:53You were Jiving your
1:14:53 > 1:14:54little heart out.
1:14:54 > 1:15:02Was that as exhausting as it looked?
1:15:02 > 1:15:10You gave some good face. Shirley, you always love watching Susan. Do
1:15:10 > 1:15:18you need... ? Did you love that? I've got some bad news: I would
1:15:18 > 1:15:23never let you pick my house, but you can jive round my kitchen any day of
1:15:23 > 1:15:32the week. You give us some slick
1:15:32 > 1:15:33can jive round my kitchen any day of the week. You give us some slick.
1:15:33 > 1:15:37You showed how you can use pure basics and still give entertainment.
1:15:37 > 1:15:51You are back. You did very well.She is back on the market. You didn't
1:15:51 > 1:15:58sell this jive, you gazumped it. You were pumping it. She was giving it
1:15:58 > 1:16:03everything she had. When we talk about this pumping action, it is
1:16:03 > 1:16:07elasticity on the leg. Some people do it stiffly, kicking in and out,
1:16:07 > 1:16:10but you had that lovely pumping going through. Great rhythm and
1:16:10 > 1:16:16timing. Well done. You are back.Two out of two saying you are back.
1:16:16 > 1:16:21Craig, you scored Susan a three last week - better tonight?
1:16:21 > 1:16:26It is more than a three. It is a vast improvement on last week. It
1:16:26 > 1:16:31is, however, sadly a little flat. You are not quite doing the
1:16:31 > 1:16:36preparation for the kick. The timing was fantastic and the synchronicity
1:16:36 > 1:16:48was amazing.Susan, you were pumping out those kicks. The energy did not
1:16:48 > 1:16:52fail at all. Well done on the stamina and everything. You were
1:16:52 > 1:16:55constantly coming back into sync on the sequencing, and I loved your
1:16:55 > 1:16:59facial expressions. They were priceless. You didn't give anything
1:16:59 > 1:17:08away. I would've liked a little more contraction, but this is your dance.
1:17:08 > 1:17:08She's back!
1:17:08 > 1:17:15Susan and Kevin!
1:17:15 > 1:17:21Well done. Really, really good. I'm really proud of you.Kevin and
1:17:21 > 1:17:25Susan, they said you are back, that that was your dance. You must be
1:17:25 > 1:17:30over the moon, because last week, they gave you quite are not back.It
1:17:30 > 1:17:36wasn't the best.Quite good to come back with a jive.That is what
1:17:36 > 1:17:39Strictly is about, taking the comments on board and coming back
1:17:39 > 1:17:45dancing. Keep dancing, that's the point of the show.Exactly. I didn't
1:17:45 > 1:17:51get it - that's why we say! You must be incredibly proud.Incredibly
1:17:51 > 1:17:55proud. Two weeks in a row they came down quite hard on us, but her
1:17:55 > 1:17:59attitude in training never change. She was always positive and worked
1:17:59 > 1:18:01really hard. I could not be more proud.

1:18:39 > 1:18:42All the details are up on your screen and voting will open

1:18:45 > 1:18:53Tess.
1:18:53 > 1:18:56And our final couple are Davood Ghadami and his
1:18:56 > 1:18:57partner Nadiya Bychkova.
1:18:57 > 1:18:59Last week the judges said their Rumba looked amazing
1:18:59 > 1:19:02but they thought it lacked proper Rumba steps.
1:19:02 > 1:19:05So, for this week's American Smooth, Davood and Nadiya are aiming
1:19:05 > 1:19:07for both style and content.
1:19:13 > 1:19:17I really enjoyed performing that dance. There's nothing like it. It
1:19:17 > 1:19:21had a haunting feel. The dance was beautiful, the song was beautiful,
1:19:21 > 1:19:25the style is very hard to grab hold of and go for.I loved the feeling
1:19:25 > 1:19:30and emotion, but there wasn't enough rumba in there for me.It was my
1:19:30 > 1:19:35favourite dance.I know, I genuinely came out of it thinking that I had
1:19:35 > 1:19:45achieved something.Foxtrot, it is very important to get the footwork
1:19:45 > 1:19:51right. American Smooth. It isn't one of the most difficult dancers. The
1:19:51 > 1:19:56movement should be gliding on the floor. That is why I have to get him
1:19:56 > 1:20:04to get his footwork right. Too early. Five, six.It may look like
1:20:04 > 1:20:07we walking together, but there is so much going on. There are aspects
1:20:07 > 1:20:10where you step on your toes, sometimes on your heel, some steps
1:20:10 > 1:20:14are long, and it has to be elegant, so you have to know what you're
1:20:14 > 1:20:20doing. It is a long road ahead, but if it goes right, this choreography
1:20:20 > 1:20:23could be beautiful. I need to get the lifts right as well.Don't lift
1:20:23 > 1:20:28me. It's not this.You have to get the framework, get the technique
1:20:28 > 1:20:33right, get the lift right, but if we don't get it right it could go come
1:20:33 > 1:20:41crashing down. But I'm not going to let that happen. -- it could all
1:20:41 > 1:20:42come crashing down.

1:22:48 > 1:22:55were like movie stars. A dashing leading man, and you were gorgeous
1:22:55 > 1:23:00as well. You really swept all of us off our feet. There was the twinkle
1:23:00 > 1:23:09of the eye of Gene Kelly, the incredible hulk, and a performance
1:23:09 > 1:23:13value of Fred Astaire. You did it all in that dance.Thank you.
1:23:13 > 1:23:24Sensational. Craig?It needs more swing and sway. It would be amazing
1:23:24 > 1:23:28if you had that. It is so difficult for the celebrity meant to do that,
1:23:28 > 1:23:37but I loved it. The release, incredible. I loved that routine,
1:23:37 > 1:23:45absolutely loved it.Darcey... Really controlled, smooth
1:23:45 > 1:23:47transitions, a bit of Hollywood glamour that you brought to that.
1:23:47 > 1:23:52Most impressive was how you let her and got into that lift. You lock
1:23:52 > 1:24:00your elbow. It was so impressive, how you recovered, and got into the
1:24:00 > 1:24:10nice, fast end. Fabulous!I think you were totally awesome. I agree
1:24:10 > 1:24:17with Darcey, the lift was amazing. You have four legs, four arms, two
1:24:17 > 1:24:20centres, and everything seems to be in the right place and you are able
1:24:20 > 1:24:25to move well today. Congratulations! I think she likes it! Brilliant
1:24:25 > 1:24:33finale. I think it lifted all of us. Thank you so much, Davood and
1:24:33 > 1:24:39Nadiya.
1:24:43 > 1:24:48Davood, really, really well done. You look quite shocked at the great
1:24:48 > 1:24:56comments. They can be pernickety, and you said in rehearsals, this
1:24:56 > 1:25:01will be his break-out dance.She never told me!You just did that
1:25:01 > 1:25:09American Smooth on Strictly Come Dancing.I really enjoyed it.
