:00:00. > :00:12.Welcome to It Takes Two. It's Monday. Hello. Just you wait and see
:00:13. > :00:15.what's in store. It's our fifth couple to leave the competition,
:00:16. > :00:20.here to say goodbye, Rachel and Pasha.
:00:21. > :00:26.They stole our hearts with their disco doble, mark and Iveta are
:00:27. > :00:48.here. Something wicked this way comes, he's back from his
:00:49. > :01:26.here. Something wicked this way Takes Two. #12k3w4r6r7b8g9s
:01:27. > :01:33.APPLAUSE Hello, welcome to Monday's It Takes
:01:34. > :01:37.Two. What a devilishly delightful weekend complete with plenty of
:01:38. > :01:55.shocks. In case you missed any of it, here are the
:01:56. > :01:59.shocks. In case you missed any of competition too, securing the first
:02:00. > :02:10.10s of the series. You are fab-u-lous.
:02:11. > :02:17.Come on, girl. Last week's dance-off was a distant memory for Patrick and
:02:18. > :02:22.Anya as they utilised the power of voodoo to break the hex and
:02:23. > :02:27.quickstep to their highest score yet.
:02:28. > :02:31.The energy was phenomenal. I loved the theatricality of the whole
:02:32. > :02:39.production. That was fast! Great work. Well done.
:02:40. > :02:46.Nice work. Although Ben Cohen also earned his best score to date with
:02:47. > :03:05.an impressive poso, it wasn't his -- paso, it wasn't his cape
:03:06. > :03:11.forward. Let me feel it. I may change my score! Put him down!
:03:12. > :03:18.It would seem that hanging around on the Hallowe'en set left gentlemen
:03:19. > :03:21.net feels -- Jenette feeling spooked. There's something in this
:03:22. > :03:27.room. I feel it. It's looking at me! It's in here. It's really in here. I
:03:28. > :03:44.know it. I feel it. I feel it. Can I use the badgeroom please. Oh, yeah,
:03:45. > :03:48.yeah. Sorry. -- bathroom please. Now if that still wasn't enough for you,
:03:49. > :03:57.here is our exclusive footage from behind-the-scenes, you lucky things.
:03:58. > :03:58.Spooky Hallowe'en, exciting! Nothing scarier than dancing
:03:59. > :04:21.Spooky Hallowe'en, exciting! Nothing impressive. I hope it gets the crowd
:04:22. > :04:24.going. It's got me going. I always freak out if something happens. If
:04:25. > :04:34.that happens tonight, I need to forget it and carry on. That
:04:35. > :04:44.scratches the leather on my shoe so it doesn't get too slippery. Thirsty
:04:45. > :04:51.work. Good, real good. What do you reckon? Mash, it's the monster mash.
:04:52. > :05:00.Have you got a mask on? Is that supposed to be scary? No. No. I'm
:05:01. > :05:01.pretty sure I saw a ghost run past me earlier. It just looked more like
:05:02. > :05:31.I am a monster and I'm going to be a guy in a sheet. Kevin!
:05:32. > :05:38.I am a monster and I'm going to be scaring Ashley this week. Check out
:05:39. > :05:46.my eye lashes. Feels like massive cobwebs. They don't need to
:05:47. > :05:51.transform me into anything because I scare the life out of Kevin already.
:05:52. > :05:58.Look at her face, look at the eyes. The stare of doom. I do live things
:05:59. > :06:04.like that. Be that effective. -- isn't that effective? That's how you
:06:05. > :06:05.do zombie hands. Hallowe'en is always great and the judges are
:06:06. > :06:16.going to be even more evil. Mwaha going to be even more evil.Mwaha
:06:17. > :06:40.Mwaha. Scaring me is that David going to be even more evil.Mwaha
:06:41. > :06:47.oh, that's why we're here. This way. Just have to put me make up on. I've
:06:48. > :06:57.got a good feeling about this. It's going to be spook-tacular.
:06:58. > :07:25.Their Strictly dream turned to a nightmare, please welcome Rachel and
:07:26. > :07:27.Pasha. Poop and double poop, we're really
:07:28. > :07:46.sad to see you here. Poop and double poop, we're really
:07:47. > :07:51.They're out. I'll need those in a minute. Are for me. It's hard. It's
:07:52. > :07:54.hard. Because you invest so much and you put all your focus into it and
:07:55. > :07:58.your effort and energy, you want to keep dancing. You're doing it for
:07:59. > :08:02.your partner as well. It's so much fun. I absolutely loved it. I knew
:08:03. > :08:06.what was coming in the next couple ofof weeks. Was coming up that you
:08:07. > :08:10.really wanted to do? Blackpool, I really wanted to go to Blackpool. I
:08:11. > :08:15.would have been Marilyn doing a foxtrot. What have you done people?
:08:16. > :08:19.Maybe we could arrange that any way. Was it bitter sweet to go out on
:08:20. > :08:26.your highest scoring dance. Yeah it was our best score. She did amazing.
:08:27. > :08:31.You did amazing. She's right here. Tell her again, though. You did
:08:32. > :08:36.amazing. It was our best dance. I enjoyed it. I enjoyed it too. The
:08:37. > :08:38.lift up on the shoulderment -- Shoulder. I liked flying. We got
:08:39. > :08:58.stuck. Actually Shoulder. I liked flying. We got
:08:59. > :09:03.from the show, Abbey. How was that whole thing? Abbey is so gorgeous.
:09:04. > :09:07.After her dance I said to her, I think she can win the competition.
:09:08. > :09:11.She's a beautiful dancer. As soon as we knew it was Abbey, we knew
:09:12. > :09:15.whoever is up against her is in a lot of trouble. It gave me no
:09:16. > :09:18.pressure at all and allowed me to properly enJo I it. That was the
:09:19. > :09:22.most fun I've had. I knew it was my last dance. I knew I could enjoy it.
:09:23. > :09:27.He gave me a wink at the start. It was good fun. I loved it. That's all
:09:28. > :09:31.anyone needs, a wink from Pasha makes all the difference. How much
:09:32. > :09:36.have you seen Rachel improve over the past eight weeks that you've
:09:37. > :09:41.been dancing? Are you kidding me? Improvement, oh, we started from
:09:42. > :09:46.zero ground and look what we've done on the last show. She's such a hard
:09:47. > :09:48.worker. I keep saying it over and over again, but I've never seen
:09:49. > :10:08.anybody work that hard. She just over again, but I've never seen
:10:09. > :10:15.back and enjoy your Strictly story. Oh, you're going to make me cry.
:10:16. > :10:24.Never, not us (! ) The dancer taking you on is... Pasha! Pasha is so
:10:25. > :10:30.lovely. Rachel, she never dance before. But that's what makes it
:10:31. > :10:36.even more exciting. It looks like the thing in the world and my brain
:10:37. > :10:44.isn't connecting yet. It had a beautiful flow, gorgeous rise and
:10:45. > :10:48.fall and it was full of elegance. The salsa was so different to the
:10:49. > :10:54.waltz. I feel like I've started all over again. Rachel has no concept of
:10:55. > :10:55.sexy in the dance. I have to take myself out of Rachel and create a
:10:56. > :11:18.whole new character. And hip, myself out of Rachel and create a
:11:19. > :11:23.flinging my limbs around and I have kicked Pasha. Kicking, pushing, it
:11:24. > :11:29.comes with the job. You've got your old hips going there, girl, lovely.
:11:30. > :11:31.Like a bionic bum. Your confidence through the whole piece was fabulous
:11:32. > :11:51.to watch. Well done. It's an original approach to a
:11:52. > :11:57.quickstep. I was us flying right from the start, flying across the
:11:58. > :12:02.floor. Just about got away with it. That was very fast. That was hard.
:12:03. > :12:08.You did a very good job. Judges, it's time to decide, who would you
:12:09. > :12:32.like to save? Rachel and Pasha. This week we're doing the paso
:12:33. > :12:40.Back to dance again are Rachel and Pasha.
:12:41. > :12:44.We're dancing the American smooth. Natural... I couldn't imagine
:12:45. > :12:52.dancing with anyone else. We're perfectly matched in temperament and
:12:53. > :13:00.attitude to stuff. Your best dance to date!
:13:01. > :13:08.There was improvement and that's improvement. I'm just over the moon.
:13:09. > :13:17.Who would you like to save? Abbey and Aljaz. Abbey and Aljaz. I would
:13:18. > :13:19.like for abbey and Aljaz to stay. Pasha, I'm going to start crying if
:13:20. > :13:39.I do this for too Pasha, I'm going to start crying if
:13:40. > :13:42.miss you. Bless you. I can't look at you because I'll start crying as
:13:43. > :13:47.well. You've been a fan for years, to do the competition and to do it
:13:48. > :13:51.with Pasha, what has the adventure meant to you? Since day one, I loved
:13:52. > :13:57.it. I expected to enjoy it. But I didn't expect to love it so much.
:13:58. > :13:59.Every aspect of it, I mean, the training is the best part. You get
:14:00. > :14:05.to dance with Pasha every day. That's the bit I'm going to miss the
:14:06. > :14:09.most. I've made amazing friends. Worn amazing outfits and amazing
:14:10. > :14:13.hair. It's been so much funment and everyone in the -- fun. And everyone
:14:14. > :14:18.in the whole production is fantastic. Are you rooting for now
:14:19. > :14:22.in the competition? So many people. As Abbey said, we're good friends. I
:14:23. > :14:28.think she's a beautiful dancer. Then I love watching Mark and Iveta.
:14:29. > :14:50.They're hillarious. Ashley, everyone! It will be so sad
:14:51. > :14:53.Dewey eyes for Pasha. In a moment, reunited with CRH, Craig Revel
:14:54. > :14:56.Horwood, to talk about what got his blood boiling at the weekend. Before
:14:57. > :15:28.that, it's time for another guess who.
:15:29. > :15:36.I wonder who that could be. Time to clear the cobwebs from the
:15:37. > :15:39.Hallowe'en spectacular. Here to help us, Craig Revel Horwood!
:15:40. > :15:58.APPLAUSE I've missed you too. And the
:15:59. > :16:03.APPLAUSE amazing job. Well done. Big round of
:16:04. > :16:07.applause for Justin. Did you enjoy Hallowe'en week? I always love the
:16:08. > :16:12.themed weeks. They get me going. It's great because the celebrities
:16:13. > :16:16.can hide behind a little bit of it. It gives them a lot of strength and
:16:17. > :16:19.confidence. That's why I like it so much. The costumes were amazing.
:16:20. > :16:24.What did you think Bruno's dancing, by the way? He could have pointed
:16:25. > :16:28.the foot a bit better. I wish you'd scored him. I thought he was going
:16:29. > :16:32.to be showing us how to do a hip thrust, unfortunately we got an
:16:33. > :16:39.entire layout, darling, which wasn't to my liking. But still. I'm glad he
:16:40. > :16:42.got that off his chest. Were you as shocked about the bottom two couples
:16:43. > :16:48.as everybody else? I was. I did say that on the night. But I really, who
:16:49. > :17:07.is to blame? We put people in an order that we think,
:17:08. > :17:10.is to blame? We put people in an was really shocking that Abbey was
:17:11. > :17:15.in the bottom two, because I really thought her popularity would be such
:17:16. > :17:18.that people vote. Unfortunately, if people see that someone is doing
:17:19. > :17:23.great at the top of the leaderboard... They forget. Yes and
:17:24. > :17:27.they vote for the underdog. That's why I wanted to remind people on the
:17:28. > :17:31.Sunday show. Someone you love, you've got to votement If you love
:17:32. > :17:35.them, vote for them. Let's talk about Abbey and Aljaz. You said one
:17:36. > :17:41.word - impressive. Break it down for us. Tell us more and why did you
:17:42. > :17:46.give it an eight? It wasn't completely there. I think she has a
:17:47. > :17:51.way to go. I think there could have been more hip action. It was there
:17:52. > :17:55.in essence, but all too slightly. She needs to exaggerate a bit more.
:17:56. > :17:58.When she reaches she needs to reach further. There's a lot more line in
:17:59. > :18:18.there that I think could be proper present. More
:18:19. > :18:20.there that I think could be proper ten? I saw a couple of wobbly
:18:21. > :18:24.moments. I think actually she could have had a slightly better top line
:18:25. > :18:30.as well, if I'm being absolutely honest. We are being extremely hard
:18:31. > :18:35.on her because she's so fantastic. She's so amazing. Off course could.
:18:36. > :18:40.-- of course. There's always going to be fault somewhere. Patrick and
:18:41. > :18:46.Anya and the quickstep, you loved his charleston elements, which were
:18:47. > :18:51.brilliant. It was so fast. It's the incidental stuff, you know, that he
:18:52. > :18:56.gave personality like all of this particular moments here. It became
:18:57. > :19:04.proper char Stanny bits instead of just the foot work being charleston.
:19:05. > :19:08.What he -- charlestony bits instead of just the footwork being
:19:09. > :19:10.charleston. It's very different to acting. Acting is one thing, you
:19:11. > :19:30.know, acting. Acting is one thing, you
:19:31. > :19:37.important Aztec neeck? I think -- As technique? I think so. If someone's
:19:38. > :19:41.face is a bit dull, it never comes off. Particularly in a charleston
:19:42. > :19:45.where you have to be vivacious, you have to light up the stage. You can
:19:46. > :19:49.get away with murder, darling, through the face. If only all the
:19:50. > :19:54.celebrities out there knew that rgs darling, I promise them, we won't
:19:55. > :19:57.look at their foot work. We'll be looking at the face. That will sell
:19:58. > :20:02.it. Particularly to the people at home, who don't often see the full
:20:03. > :20:06.body that we see as judges. I like it. Mark and Iveta and their paso
:20:07. > :20:10.doble. You did say that he performed the overall dance very well. But
:20:11. > :20:15.there wasn't as much paso as you'd have liked. This is all paso here. I
:20:16. > :20:17.would have liked to have seen a bit more. Obviously, they had to make
:20:18. > :20:19.choices. I understand those choices because he's got a disco number,
:20:20. > :20:44.very, very difficult. They because he's got a disco number,
:20:45. > :20:50.about, darling. Exactly! The meds are starting to kick in. You said
:20:51. > :20:55.you were slightly distracted with Ben Cohen. It's difficult not to be
:20:56. > :20:59.watching just the torso. Look at it now and his feet and arms. He could
:21:00. > :21:04.have a lot more shaping, I've got to be honest. There could be a lot more
:21:05. > :21:09.in there. For someone that really is quite blocky as a dancer, I think
:21:10. > :21:13.the choreography really suited him. It was built on being blocky. I
:21:14. > :21:21.would like to have seen a little bit more arch. Bruno, bless him, was
:21:22. > :21:25.right. He needs to push the hips forward a little, just to create
:21:26. > :21:30.that lovely Spanish line. Go there again. Dave and Karen and their
:21:31. > :21:48.jive. Dave's been at the bottom of the leaderboard
:21:49. > :21:52.jive. Dave's been at the bottom of love to sit back and say, "Oh,
:21:53. > :21:57.darling, isn't the make up wonderful. Don't you love his hair
:21:58. > :22:00.when it does that? And all the costuming." But I'm there to pick it
:22:01. > :22:04.to bits really. Which you do so well. Unfortunately, there isn't
:22:05. > :22:09.enough in there. He does get his timing a little bit mucked up. You
:22:10. > :22:15.have to be on it. He's up against some really incredible, amazing
:22:16. > :22:19.people. He really needs to start reining it in, honing in on the
:22:20. > :22:24.dance and treating it seriously. I mean, keeping it fun. But treating
:22:25. > :22:29.it a little more seriously. We've missed you. How we've missed you!
:22:30. > :22:37.I've loved being back. Craig Revel Horwood! Bring in the crane. We have
:22:38. > :22:40.to winch him out. Earlier, we teased you with a former Strictly
:22:41. > :22:58.celebrity. Time to see if you were right.
:22:59. > :23:00.celebrity. Time to see if you were Hello! You're right it's me, Alex
:23:01. > :23:07.Jones. Hello. Thanks Alex. We love her. On
:23:08. > :23:10.Saturday night, Mark and Iveta's intergalactic disco-themed paso
:23:11. > :23:17.doble was a little alien to the judges, though we loved it. Here's a
:23:18. > :23:22.recap of their performance. It's more space cadet than matador.
:23:23. > :23:29.Fun, but not quite the right content, I think. I'm sorry. Your
:23:30. > :23:33.isolation is very good. Your rhythm, as always, is fantastic. The
:23:34. > :23:38.entertainment and connection and the attack is all there. Houston, we've
:23:39. > :23:50.got a problem here. It was long on performance, but short on technique.
:23:51. > :24:07.Did you see my astronaut fly? He was amazing.
:24:08. > :24:10.Did you see my astronaut fly? He was hours nonstop. Thank you for that.
:24:11. > :24:14.Congratulations on getting through another week in the competition.
:24:15. > :24:18.Your first lift and what a lift it was! How was it up there amongst the
:24:19. > :24:23.stars? I loved it. I could have done it again and again. Brilliant. It's
:24:24. > :24:28.so good. Can you write write it in every week? I had my first diva fit.
:24:29. > :24:35.When Iveta was doing the flying, I was like, I've got to do that. She
:24:36. > :24:37.let you. Good girl. Disco-doble as it's being referred to, were you
:24:38. > :24:44.aware that you were taking a risk with this dance? Yes. With that song
:24:45. > :24:49.how can you not do disco? It's a disco song. It's a fun song. We are
:24:50. > :24:54.fun. We're having fun. It was just a little bit, it wasn't a lot. Just a
:24:55. > :24:58.little bit. Lots of paso content. Were you hoping for a little bit
:24:59. > :25:19.more acknowledgement from the judges on that work? You always
:25:20. > :25:25.good pupil? You've got to, otherwise you'd crumple. In hindsight, would
:25:26. > :25:30.you do anything differently? I never look to the past and think - oh,
:25:31. > :25:35.what would I do differently? It's done. I don't regret. If I make a
:25:36. > :25:40.mistake, I learn. I don't think we did make a mistake. I didn't make
:25:41. > :25:44.any mistakes at all. I know. I was watching closely. Len did say long
:25:45. > :25:47.on performance and short on technique. How much time did you
:25:48. > :25:52.actually spend perfecting the technique? You were in that studio
:25:53. > :25:56.for days. Every single dance Mark does it's brand new dance. He never
:25:57. > :25:59.did it in his life. Of course he's going to be short of technique. I
:26:00. > :26:04.would be short of technique learning something completely different. I
:26:05. > :26:08.just try to get as much of it in my body as I can. Some of it I find too
:26:09. > :26:28.hard. Some of it I find body as I can. Some of it I find too
:26:29. > :26:31.you have been trying desperately to put in one of your own moves for
:26:32. > :26:38.weeks. I've got a request, next week, we
:26:39. > :26:46.have to get this in. Dinosaur.
:26:47. > :26:54.What? Oh, a dinosaur. Can we do that? Why? What I get out of this?
:26:55. > :27:01.That's it. We're in. Raise your hand if you'd like to see it? See Really?
:27:02. > :27:08.If we can have it in the choreography, I will give you a
:27:09. > :27:17.whole packet of wine gums. Wine gums? Can I do the dinosaur in this?
:27:18. > :27:39.The what? Dinosaur. Dinosaur? gums? Can I do the dinosaur in this?
:27:40. > :27:46.with performance for you. Do you know what I said to her today, "Can
:27:47. > :27:50.we put the dinosaur in? What did she say? She just looked at me. The
:27:51. > :27:57.looks could kill. Will it be a sexy rumba or fun rumba? It's going to be
:27:58. > :28:02.a proper rumba. Yeah, there will be a bit of fun in there. On the whole,
:28:03. > :28:07.we're going to do a proper dance and you know, yeah. A bit of both. We've
:28:08. > :28:11.been working technique today. Today was all about the foot work,
:28:12. > :28:15.technique. What did you learn about the technique today, give me one
:28:16. > :28:21.point, as a test. I learned that I can do the footwork on its own or
:28:22. > :28:25.the hip on their own or arms on their own or put it together and
:28:26. > :28:29.it's rather difficult. More dinosaur before you go.
:28:30. > :28:47.So good. If we don't see that in the rumba, we'll be gutted.
:28:48. > :28:50.So good. If we don't see that in the and Aljaz and talking tens with
:28:51. > :28:54.Natalie and Artem. Our Karen will be here guiding me through the
:28:55. > :29:00.Hallowe'en choreography. Don't miss that. See you tomorrow. Good night.
