0:06:13 > 0:06:15But before that, here's a recap of every swivel and chasse

0:06:15 > 0:06:17from Saturday night.

0:06:17 > 0:06:20APPLAUSE.

0:06:25 > 0:06:35Blackpool is on the horizon, but whose Strictly Big Dipper ride is

0:06:35 > 0:06:41ending.I love Blackpool. I have to get there.The nerves have kicked

0:06:41 > 0:06:48in, because Blackpool is the pinnacle of ballroom dancing.It is

0:06:48 > 0:06:52the ambition, but you don't want too get your hopes up, because somebody

0:06:52 > 0:06:56isn't going to get there.We know how exciting it will be. It is

0:06:56 > 0:07:00something I would love to be part of. I would love everybody to go

0:07:00 > 0:07:04through.The fact that Aston went last week I think has unnerved

0:07:04 > 0:07:08everybody.You have to be fun and enjoy the process and the journey

0:07:08 > 0:07:14and everything about Strictly.You can be the one that goes.I want to

0:07:14 > 0:07:19do my tango as well as I can. If I go out I want to go out on a high.

0:07:19 > 0:07:24We are back in the hold, that is lovely. Straightaway. That is the

0:07:24 > 0:07:27wrong way to look. I look that way. I have been in the bottom two the

0:07:27 > 0:07:31last two weeks and it knocks your confidence. I want to give it

0:07:31 > 0:07:38everything.We are live in five minutes, guys.Are we ready?Good

0:07:38 > 0:07:50luck.Live on Saturday from the BBC. Let the good times roll!You never

0:07:50 > 0:07:58cease to amaze me. That was incredible.It was the essence of

0:07:58 > 0:08:03salsa and infused with the spirit of the youth.You executed it to the

0:08:03 > 0:08:10best of your ability.For me, this was good.That was a smouldering

0:08:10 > 0:08:15Latin lover with a caring and tender touch.I think you're the dark

0:08:15 > 0:08:23horse.All the steps were there, but it does lack emotion in the body.

0:08:23 > 0:08:29The performance is as important as the technique. Let it out.Fingers

0:08:29 > 0:08:33crossed we get to Blackpool. I hope the dance we have done was good

0:08:33 > 0:08:40enough.Your posture is the main thing that bothers me.Lovely

0:08:40 > 0:08:45footwork, strong heels. Outstanding the focus and drama.I thought that

0:08:45 > 0:08:50went well.I loved every second of it.That core strength you have to

0:08:50 > 0:08:56keep working at that. That will help your balance.It didn't quite happen

0:08:56 > 0:09:02tonight.We are waving Blackpool goodbye.It is scary, but I'm so

0:09:02 > 0:09:10proud of her.It wasn't my favourite today.I felt you were trotting.You

0:09:10 > 0:09:15were out of your depth.Five.I caught it at the end. That was

0:09:15 > 0:09:22squary.I have noticed you were better a couple of weeks ago.Not

0:09:22 > 0:09:34the best.I'm concerned. I'm in a risky position.You were first

0:09:34 > 0:09:39class.Extraordinary.I commend you, how you get it - you go for that

0:09:39 > 0:09:46lift.You're amazing.Nine.Loved it. From beginning to end I haven't

0:09:46 > 0:09:50stopped smiling.You're a magnificent creature.You connected

0:09:50 > 0:10:00well with one another and I thought it was superb.You're getting better

0:10:00 > 0:10:09and better week-by-week.You are on the way up.Amazing.Ten.15,

0:10:09 > 0:10:1316-year-old boy in me is screaming to go to Blackpool. The 35-year-old

0:10:13 > 0:10:23man is as well.

0:10:27 > 0:10:29CHEERING AND APPLAUSE.

0:10:32 > 0:10:34Another unforgettable night.

0:10:34 > 0:10:37We're now left with nine Strictly stars who are all desperate to find

0:10:37 > 0:10:40out if they will make it to Blackpool - the home of ballroom.

0:10:40 > 0:10:42Here's a reminder of how Saturday night's performances

0:10:42 > 0:10:46left our couples on the leaderboard.

0:10:46 > 0:10:49At the top we have Dawood and Nadiya.

0:10:57 > 0:10:59But how have your votes changed all of that?

0:10:59 > 0:11:02It's time to find out who will be first to face the dance-off.

0:11:02 > 0:11:05The results are in.

0:11:05 > 0:11:07In no particular order, the first couple safely

0:13:11 > 0:13:19got to try and do it better and hold that shoulder down.Craig, you were

0:13:19 > 0:13:26pretty harsh on Jonnie on Saturday. Can y give us some constructive

0:13:26 > 0:13:32advice.Concentrate on your hand shaping and your balance. And let

0:13:32 > 0:13:37your face light up. I've seen you in do that before and I didn't see it

0:13:37 > 0:13:41on Saturday night. So really concentrate on that. And you could

0:15:13 > 0:15:21CHEERING AND APPLAUSE Your reaction was extraordinary.It

0:15:21 > 0:15:25seems ridiculous, but it means so much to all of us, because we are

0:15:25 > 0:15:30working so hard. My Nan is up north, she will be able to come and watch,

0:15:30 > 0:15:34so it means the world to us. Congratulations, darling. Well done,

0:15:34 > 0:15:36AJ, well done.

0:15:36 > 0:15:38As it's Remembrance Sunday, our judges and some of our couples

0:15:38 > 0:15:41joined some very special people to help with this

0:15:41 > 0:15:46year's Poppy Appeal.

0:15:46 > 0:15:52We are taking part in the British Legion's Poppy Day, to pay respects

0:15:52 > 0:15:57to our Armed Forces, past and present.Poppies! Who won the poppy?

0:15:57 > 0:16:02Thank you so much!At three of London's busiest train stations,

0:16:02 > 0:16:05Waterloo, Paddington and King's Cross, we are hoping to raise

0:16:05 > 0:16:10awareness and money for the popular appeal. The Wiggo, thank you! -- for

0:16:10 > 0:16:19the Poppy Appeal.I need a pain! -- the Wiggo.This is very important.

0:16:19 > 0:16:23It's not just about remembrance, this money will go and help a lot of

0:16:23 > 0:16:27service men and women who have been through traumatic events.It's a way

0:16:27 > 0:16:30for the British public to look after those people that have put

0:16:30 > 0:16:34everything on the line for our country.We have to thank these

0:16:34 > 0:16:39guys. They go to seriously dangerous and scary environments.Without

0:16:39 > 0:16:44them, we wouldn't be standing here in this safe environment.Poppies!

0:16:44 > 0:16:56Poppy Day is really important to me and my family. My father was in the

0:16:56 > 0:17:00Army for 27 years, and my mother was in the wrens. We have a lot of

0:17:00 > 0:17:02widows and children who have lost mothers and fathers, and they need

0:17:02 > 0:17:05our help, too.I am a war widow, it means an awful lot to me, not only

0:17:05 > 0:17:09because I like to support the Army, but I have seen the good work that

0:17:09 > 0:17:11they do with some of my fellow widows.Ledbury do the honours!My

0:17:11 > 0:17:15father was in the Navy for 20 years. I have a real connection to the

0:17:15 > 0:17:20services.My husband is a serving member of the Armed Forces. I am

0:17:20 > 0:17:24also a veteran, so we always donate. A lot of people come back from the

0:17:24 > 0:17:27war and really need a lot of help. We need to look after them in the

0:17:27 > 0:17:31way they are deserving to beat.All of the money that the Royal British

0:17:31 > 0:17:37Legion raises provides support for injured personnel and for families.

0:17:37 > 0:17:40Long may it continue. People, please don't ever forget!

0:17:40 > 0:17:45CHEERING AND APPLAUSE The atmosphere has been really

0:17:45 > 0:17:48amazing. We have had the Strictly crew down here with the Grenadier

0:18:45 > 0:18:53# The autumn leaves of red and gold

0:18:53 > 0:19:00# I see your lips, the summer kisses

0:19:00 > 0:19:09# The sunburned hands I used to hold

0:19:09 > 0:19:17# Since you went away, the days grow long

0:19:17 > 0:19:25# And soon I'll hear old winter's song

0:19:25 > 0:19:34# But I miss you most of all my darling

0:19:34 > 0:19:42# When autumn leaves start to fall of all my darling

0:21:34 > 0:21:35It's

0:21:35 > 0:21:36time now for a dance debrief.

0:21:36 > 0:21:37Please welcome the judges.

0:21:37 > 0:21:41MUSIC: Rhythm Is A Dancer by Snap!

0:21:41 > 0:21:45Thank you so much for coming up here, you perfect for some! On

0:21:45 > 0:21:49Saturday night, you often don't get the chance to expand. This is where

0:21:49 > 0:21:54you can. I'd like to ask you first, surely, about Joe. You are calling

0:21:54 > 0:22:00him the dock walls. He has practically grown a tale! -- the

0:22:00 > 0:22:05dark horse. Why is the rhombus so difficult for a man?First of all,

0:22:05 > 0:22:09he has got to lead the lady and keep a beautiful frame. But I've found he

0:22:09 > 0:22:14was so involved in the dance, constantly changing weight from foot

0:22:14 > 0:22:20to foot. Beautiful leading ability, and the beautiful body action that

0:22:20 > 0:22:25he had.Thank you so much. APPLAUSE

0:22:25 > 0:22:30Darcey, let's talk about the food. We saw a different side to him. He

0:22:30 > 0:22:36is -- about Davood. He is normally serious.He can be

0:22:36 > 0:22:37is -- about Davood. He is normally serious.He can be quirky, but also

0:22:37 > 0:22:42incredibly nimble. On the swivel and the lovely spring in it, incredibly

0:22:42 > 0:22:48supple. Also with the speed of the lifts, how he is able to get her

0:22:48 > 0:22:53around. Nadiya is a tall girl as well. This one, I loved the last

0:22:53 > 0:22:58one. This is amazing how he is able to throw her really high. Superb!

0:22:58 > 0:23:00one. This is amazing how he is able to throw her really high. Superb!

0:23:00 > 0:23:06APPLAUSE He stayed in character all the way

0:23:06 > 0:23:11through, it was difficult but he made it look effortless.Craig, on

0:23:11 > 0:23:15Saturday night you talked about Alexandra and Gorka. You said they

0:23:15 > 0:23:18added more syllables! But it was only one word.

0:23:18 > 0:23:21added more syllables! But it was only one word. Can you expand?Well,

0:23:21 > 0:23:25I loved this particular section, it was just fantastic. I mean, she was

0:23:25 > 0:23:30really detailed in this specifically, and with the forward

0:23:30 > 0:23:33chose, she was bringing her feet together and swivelling beautifully

0:23:33 > 0:23:34and replacing her

0:23:34 > 0:23:36together and swivelling beautifully and replacing her weight. She did

0:23:36 > 0:23:39really, really well. It is a difficult answer and it is primarily

0:23:39 > 0:23:43led by the man. APPLAUSE

0:23:43 > 0:23:48Thank you so much. Bruno, let's talk about the by. I know that some of

0:23:48 > 0:23:50the spins she didn't

0:23:50 > 0:23:51about the by. I know that some of the spins she didn't quite get --

0:23:51 > 0:23:55talk about Debbie.I don't know if it was him or her that was in the

0:23:55 > 0:23:59wrong position and lost the grid. Nevertheless, the floor of the

0:23:59 > 0:24:05movement...Look at this lift!Look at that. Most people do the salsa in

0:24:05 > 0:24:07a very jagged, staccato way. And you shouldn't, it

0:24:07 > 0:24:09a very jagged, staccato way. And you shouldn't, it should be lovely,

0:24:09 > 0:24:14flowing and sensual. She did that without ever losing the rhythm.We

0:24:14 > 0:24:18are off to Blackpool next week. We talk about it with such excitement.

0:24:18 > 0:24:24Surely, I found a photo of you. You made the final 17 times. Here you

0:24:24 > 0:24:29are in Blackpool -- Shirley. Can you just share with the group, what

0:37:28 > 0:37:29Based on that dance,

0:37:29 > 0:37:31and that dance alone, I'm about to ask each

0:37:31 > 0:37:35of you the name of the couple you think deserves to stay and why.

0:37:35 > 0:37:37The couple with the most votes will remain in the competition,

0:37:37 > 0:37:40meaning the other couple is out of Strictly Come Dancing.

0:37:40 > 0:37:42In the event of a split decision, Head Hudge, Shirley,

0:37:44 > 0:37:50Ruth, Anton, Jonnie and Oti this is it. Craig who will you save and why.

0:37:50 > 0:37:54The person who took the notice and criticisms that we dealt out on

0:37:54 > 0:37:59board and improved actually in the dance-off and for me personally was

0:37:59 > 0:38:08the better dance, I would like to save Jonnie and Oti.Well done, one

0:38:08 > 0:38:14vote for you. What do you think deserves to stay and why?The couple

0:38:14 > 0:38:18I would like to save on the element of difficulty and having no

0:38:18 > 0:38:25mistakes, that is Jonnie and Oti. Two votes for Jonnie and Oti. If

0:38:25 > 0:38:29Bruno chooses to save you, also that means you are indeed through to

0:38:29 > 0:38:35Blackpool. What do you want to stay? I would to say the couple I think

0:38:35 > 0:38:40has improved, it was cleaner and more emotionally involving, for that

0:38:40 > 0:38:47reason I save Jonnie and Oti.That means we will say goodbye to Ruth

0:38:47 > 0:38:57and Anton. Congratulations to Jonnie and Oti, we will

0:38:57 > 0:39:02see you next week. Shirl do you agree?Yes, I would have saved
