:41:36. > :41:41.with your Pash! How does that make you feel? Really upset. I couldn't
:41:42. > :41:45.have done it without Pasha. He's helped me so much. He's made me
:41:45. > :41:53.become a dancer, more confident and without him, I couldn't imagine
:41:53. > :42:03.doing it with anyone else. He means a lot to me. It is a pleasure.

:46:36. > :46:42.your Saturday nights have started for the winter. Jason, the dancer
:46:42. > :46:49.we have chosen for you is Kristina Rihanoff. Did you see her, she flew
:46:49. > :46:54.at him! I would throw myself at Jason Donovan! Flavia and Russell
:46:54. > :46:59.made a great pair together. When Lulu got Brendan, she nearly
:46:59. > :47:03.dropped through the floor! This year's Strictly has been the best
:47:03. > :47:10.because of the eye candy. Jason Donovan can come round any time he
:47:11. > :47:19.likes! When Holly came up that cage, I thought she was tasty. Chelsee
:47:19. > :47:24.seems like a nice girl. She is fit! I'm wild about Harry! He's got a

:47:57. > :48:03.out the coffin on the Hallowe'en show. When Holly did the Black Swan,
:48:04. > :48:12.that was a highlight. Holly looked incredible. It was more like
:48:12. > :48:20.watching a ballet dance. Lulu like a bat out of hell! She was better
:48:20. > :48:26.in here than on the dancefloor! Brendan, the shining knight. First

:48:46. > :48:55.kept on thinking it can't get any Best moment for me was Robbie
:48:55. > :48:59.Savage opening Wembley! That was a highlight. When Robbie leaped over
:48:59. > :49:04.Ola's head, I thought he was going to fall. Surprised at how over the
:49:04. > :49:12.top he was. I liked Robbie's legs the other week as well. I thought
:49:12. > :49:18.that was so comical. My Strictly highlight was everything Russell!
:49:18. > :49:26.When I was ballroom dancing, we didn't get shot out of cannons. For
:49:26. > :49:36.all there was a war on. I don't think I would have liked to have
:49:36. > :49:38.
:49:38. > :49:48.done that. He has a lot of guts. Astonishing! Craig Revel Horwood is
:49:48. > :49:57.so funny! Disaster, darling! Disaster! Very harsh judge. Sexless,
:49:57. > :50:04.cold and stiff! I will show you what sexless, cold and stiff is!
:50:04. > :50:09.Jason Donovan put his mind to everything. I thought that was
:50:09. > :50:18.wonderful. Jason and Kristina! didn't deserve to be in the bottom
:50:18. > :50:22.two. No, no. I loved Chelsee's Shrek dance. Those kicks and flicks
:50:22. > :50:32.were amazing. It summarised the fun that has been Strictly Come Dancing
:50:32. > :50:38.
:50:38. > :50:46.I will miss Strictly Come Dancing when it finishes. It's been amazing.
:50:46. > :50:56.I can't wait till next year. Another 12 months to wait! What are

:55:03. > :55:09.they have both been sensational Strictly stars. My Strictly
:55:09. > :55:13.experience has been the best thing I have ever done. I thought it was
:55:13. > :55:18.fab-u-lous! At the start, a lot of people was judges me before they
:55:18. > :55:23.knew me. It was disheartening, but to know that I have changed some

:56:14. > :56:19.of pecs-appeal! I have enjoyed it so much more. I was dreading it. I
:56:19. > :56:27.was thinking "Why?" am I doing this? It was filth and I loved it!
:56:27. > :56:33.I soon realised what an amazing opportunity I had. I'm not entirely
:56:33. > :56:37.on my own. If Aliona wasn't there, I'd be hopeless. She makes me look
