:00:00. > :00:07.Right, are you guys ready to audition
:00:08. > :00:11.for the coveted role of dancing sidekick for Tunes On Tuesday?
:00:12. > :00:33.Cl It is making me move a strange way.
:00:34. > :00:48.Thank you very much, MacManus. Next. Do that and you'll never be in the
:00:49. > :00:50.dance off again. Next. Oh, hang on a minute, hello.
:00:51. > :01:42.From London, this is Strictly, it takes two. Please welcome your host,
:01:43. > :01:53.Zoe Ball. Take the phone off the hook,
:01:54. > :01:57.get your cuppa and settle down Now, the Strictly team are loading
:01:58. > :02:01.up the van to Blackpool as we speak, so to mark the occasion we're asking
:02:02. > :02:04.you one very important question: What Blackpool-related costume would
:02:05. > :02:07.you like to see Ian Waite wear during his weekly warm-up
:02:08. > :02:09.on tomorrow's show? Would you prefer a classic Victorian
:02:10. > :02:17.bather? Let us know what you think
:02:18. > :02:29.by heading online to The vote closes at 7pm tonight, so
:02:30. > :02:39.you've got just under half an hour. Ian will reveal all
:02:40. > :02:43.on the show tomorrow. They successfully boom, shake,
:02:44. > :03:17.shake, shaked their way up the You are Kev-less. There is someone
:03:18. > :03:21.missing. He is actually poorly Really, really poorly. I know he's
:03:22. > :03:27.really sorry he is not here. You know, but he needs to get better. He
:03:28. > :03:31.does. We have Blackpool. He can not be missing. Get well soon. Kev.
:03:32. > :03:35.What have you been doing with yourself?
:03:36. > :03:45.With your day off? Actually, weirdly, I did actually have a day
:03:46. > :03:49.off! Yes. I had no EastEnders, so I got my little boy ready for nursery.
:03:50. > :03:56.Made his lunch. Did all that good stuff. Once he had gone off, I
:03:57. > :04:00.decided - you know I'll get mylights done. A big thing, you feel so much
:04:01. > :04:08.better. It is a big thing. You look bright. Half-hour speed shop. I feel
:04:09. > :04:15.better. Well done. It is so difficult. You are doing so many
:04:16. > :04:18.jobs. Tell me about your '90s alter egos from the weekend and your
:04:19. > :04:22.awesome samba. It was so good. You being Keyonce and Kevin as
:04:23. > :04:38.The Fresh Prince of Grimsby? He was the Fresh Prince of Grimsby
:04:39. > :04:44.or K-dogg. He hauls to explain that and I had to say it is not cool if
:04:45. > :04:50.you have to explain it. We had the best time doing that routine. We
:04:51. > :04:54.loved it. I have to say, we've had - I'd had a rather dodgy dress
:04:55. > :04:59.rehearsal. Had you? Times that's good, though. Apparently so. I made
:05:00. > :05:03.quite a few mistakes in the afternoon and it had made me
:05:04. > :05:08.slightly - because it was so fast. Again a Kevin Clifton, you know how
:05:09. > :05:13.he likes it, he goes at 100 miles per hour. I knew there was no chance
:05:14. > :05:18.for my brain to keep up with the feet. So I had to have faith it
:05:19. > :05:23.would come together. It really did. I loved it. I was just - it was a
:05:24. > :05:28.dream come true. And such a risk to mix hip hop with samba and something
:05:29. > :05:31.that might not have worked. But I thought worked brilliantly. Thank
:05:32. > :05:39.you so much. So do I. I was really proud of it and proud of Kevin. He
:05:40. > :05:44.is so brilliant and I think he has this incredible - um - he wants to
:05:45. > :05:54.push boundaries and try new things. Actually, who knew I would love a
:05:55. > :05:57.samba but I loved the samba. Your samba technique was so good. I was
:05:58. > :06:03.like that and that. Also, no-one wants to be in the bottom two. So
:06:04. > :06:05.you pushed out the boat. And Kevin went the extra mile. Here we can see
:06:06. > :06:18.from his tweet. I hadn't seen that. But he did shave
:06:19. > :06:25.his chest. It was true. He wore a T-shirt. It wasn't necessary. It was
:06:26. > :06:30.a vest. He was told to shave. He had a little chest hair poking out the
:06:31. > :06:36.top. I quite liked T I'm not averse. I quite like a man being a man. -- I
:06:37. > :06:38.quite liked it. It is when it comes on the knuckles. I pull Norman's out
:06:39. > :06:43.with my teeth. I'm with you there. There were mixed feelings
:06:44. > :06:58.from the judges on your unique Craig wasn't sure but then he gave
:06:59. > :07:03.you a 9. That floored us. I was so pleased. Iroom didn't know. His face
:07:04. > :07:07.was like thunder at the end of the routine and stayed like that until
:07:08. > :07:13.he made his comment. I thought oh my God, he hated it. It did divide the
:07:14. > :07:17.judges a bit. To be honest, we know Len is a traditionalist, he likes
:07:18. > :07:22.what he likes and that's OK. I also think it is OK we did something else
:07:23. > :07:27.with it and that's whatk Strictly should be about I think and it
:07:28. > :07:32.didn't matter, it didn't matter to us that Len felt like that. He still
:07:33. > :07:38.appreciated it. He said the samba don't was great. He just said hip
:07:39. > :07:45.hop and crying babies were his two most hateful things in the world. So
:07:46. > :07:47.we weren't going to win, were we? So never go around to granddad Len with
:07:48. > :07:50.the crying baby. There was so much going on
:07:51. > :07:53.in that routine including a new move Craig called it 'The Darcey Bussell'
:07:54. > :08:09.and boy were you working it. I didn't know you could even do
:08:10. > :08:15.that. Do you know what. I said to Kevin -- it is just as well Freddie
:08:16. > :08:19.is only three. Because if he was ten and at school and had friends he
:08:20. > :08:22.would be like - mum, what are you doing, you are so embarrassing, you
:08:23. > :08:27.can't do that on television. Thankfully he is not quite there
:08:28. > :08:32.yet. I sort of got away with it. Honestly, Kevin did a routine and
:08:33. > :08:38.made me feel like I was in a Justin Timberlake video. I will have that
:08:39. > :08:42.forever. So, so good. I was actually quite jealous of that as well.
:08:43. > :08:54.Not yet. Although we are going soon. I'm going to take a very warm coat.
:08:55. > :09:00.That's all you need. And a vest and some dance gear and my dance shoes.
:09:01. > :09:06.An outclub for afterwards because you go clubbing. It will get messy.
:09:07. > :09:10.It'll be fun. You are doing a quickstep in Blackpool, the home of
:09:11. > :09:15.ballroom. Someone tweeted a picture today of the ballroom. It hit me
:09:16. > :09:21.again how incredible that place is. It hit me so much that my legs sort
:09:22. > :09:27.of went a bit funny. Help me! Oh, OK. I'm so excited about it. It is
:09:28. > :09:31.going to be amazing. What an absolute honour that is to be able
:09:32. > :09:36.to do a quickstep there. It is brilliant. Also, you are doing it
:09:37. > :09:44.with Kev, that's partly where he has grown up. We can see a lovely
:09:45. > :09:51.picture of Kev there. He looks so cute. There he is with Jo. He was
:09:52. > :09:59.ten, in the British Open Latin juvenile Championships, where he
:10:00. > :10:02.came 4th. Bless him. Good luck. I hope he gets well soon and you get
:10:03. > :10:06.the training N well done, Kellie. I don't know about you but I'm
:10:07. > :10:09.in the mood for some high brow Where's that Hardy
:10:10. > :10:27.when you need her? You are matching our cousins today I
:10:28. > :10:33.feel a cousinesque moment. Are you sure you didn't take one and made a
:10:34. > :10:35.skirt out of it -- a cushion. Ok, let's take a look
:10:36. > :10:37.at our couples' performances. Let's start with Anita and
:10:38. > :10:40.Gleb's Quickstep. Len said she has
:10:41. > :10:42."become a great all rounder". However, Anita is yet to be
:10:43. > :10:51.at the top of the leaderboard, what She is not a great all rounder. She
:10:52. > :10:57.is a dynamic dehave a. I'm sorry, judges. They have to wake up. It is
:10:58. > :10:59.not about Gleb any more. We know he is our new professional. It is
:11:00. > :11:02.incredible. This is the choreography. The constant
:11:03. > :11:05.shape-changing, the choreography. The constant
:11:06. > :11:11.top line. She sticks to him like glue. The choreography Gleb has
:11:12. > :11:14.given Anita from the word "go", has been incredible. I would really like
:11:15. > :11:18.to see the marks going up much higher. I don't feel she has been
:11:19. > :11:23.rewarded enough. I'm putting my foot down now. We are over half way. I'm
:11:24. > :11:30.a woman on a mission this week. That is sensational. Well done. I feel
:11:31. > :11:30.better for getting that out of my system.
:11:31. > :11:35.Three of the judges gave him an 8, but Craig went for a 6!
:11:36. > :11:37.He described the performance as "a little bland".
:11:38. > :11:49.I don't know if he is being harsh. I'm hoping he is being cruel to be
:11:50. > :11:52.kind. This dance, the foxtrot is the equivalent of the difficulties of
:11:53. > :11:56.the rumba. The power of the slows. You have to be able to control the
:11:57. > :12:02.slows with ease and balance and make it look easy. What we would say is -
:12:03. > :12:06.if he foamed like this, let's say in the final, there is not a strong
:12:07. > :12:12.chance of him winning. -- performed. I'm hoping Craig is saying, listen,
:12:13. > :12:15.great what you have done, definite improvement in presentation,
:12:16. > :12:18.personality but come on, rev it up more if you want to be in the final.
:12:19. > :12:20.Come on, jay. Jamelia and Tristan were
:12:21. > :12:29.in the dance off - yet again! They have been there so many times
:12:30. > :12:34.and survive every week. Craig said she was dancing with bent legs and
:12:35. > :12:39.he didn't see one straight leg. You are pulling your sleeves up. You
:12:40. > :12:47.have stuff to say. I have my shoulder pads on. The legs meant to
:12:48. > :12:51.be bent in the samba. This woman was fabulous. She is bending all the way
:12:52. > :12:56.through on the classic steps but from here on in, it is as though she
:12:57. > :13:00.gets nervous, so starts looking down and the selling of performance. What
:13:01. > :13:04.I would say to Jamelia, you are great, you are doing it right, on a
:13:05. > :13:09.ro. Keep your personality and sell the dance. -- you are on a roll.
:13:10. > :13:14.Whether it is a foxtrot, a tango, samba, believe in yourself and get
:13:15. > :13:16.that personality out that we know she can do. Sell it, Jamillia. We
:13:17. > :13:20.will catch up with them soon. Len was happy because he got lots
:13:21. > :13:29.of content this week. So much I love. We talk about tick
:13:30. > :13:36.boxes. They have the contact together. The top line. They have a
:13:37. > :13:42.lovely action. Strong foot work. Now, we talk about foot work because
:13:43. > :13:48.at that moment, look at the slow dance, look at the dragging of that
:13:49. > :13:52.foot. When we talk about tick boxes, the public will be looking for
:13:53. > :13:56.gapping and top line. She is in another league again. She is not
:13:57. > :14:00.stomping across the floor. She is dragging the feet now, which keeps
:14:01. > :14:03.her down, gives her contact with her partner. It gives it more musical
:14:04. > :14:08.interpretation. These are the things you are not going to see, you are
:14:09. > :14:12.not meant to see them but it adds to the whole production. I caught that
:14:13. > :14:18.little gem right there. I needed to share it. This was fabulous. Oh,
:14:19. > :14:20.they are all so good. You are very excitable today. I am.
:14:21. > :14:23.Katie and Anton scored 31 for their rumba, which is their highest
:14:24. > :14:26.They've previously struggled in the Latin.
:14:27. > :14:35.This was a great performance. It was incredible. It is all down to the
:14:36. > :14:39.power of the choreography. You get it wrong and it'll go against you.
:14:40. > :14:43.This is beautiful. A simple thing like an opening out to left and
:14:44. > :14:49.right. She has exquisite legs. They trouble time it. This is a classical
:14:50. > :14:53.lady. The first moment I saw her dance, her beautiful back in the top
:14:54. > :14:58.line of ballroom and in Latin we have the exquisite legs. She stands
:14:59. > :15:04.like a lady, the legs are beautifully placed. I see you
:15:05. > :15:09.readjusting your legs. I did. Beautifully presented. She is a
:15:10. > :15:12.classical lady. You don't want to overkill the choreography but you
:15:13. > :15:16.need to keep her moving and oozing on the dance floor. It was fabulous
:15:17. > :15:18.and the song as well, was beautiful. It is a favourite of mine.
:15:19. > :15:22.Craig decided he loved the hip hop spin on their samba.
:15:23. > :15:32.Do you like to see these alternative takes on classic dances?
:15:33. > :15:40.Here we go again. All the change that happened in this was it was an
:15:41. > :15:48.alternate take on the fashion. When you look at t the dance is pure
:15:49. > :15:52.Latin. We have natural rolls. We have whisks and voltas. The
:15:53. > :15:56.classical steps. Bent legs. I was surprised by Darcey and Len's
:15:57. > :16:01.comments. Actually the hip hop action just brought it to a whole
:16:02. > :16:04.new level and said - we are being different, we are new, come on,
:16:05. > :16:11.bring the game on. That's what I love about these two. There is
:16:12. > :16:15.another step I picked up on. The bachacada. A lovely slow action.
:16:16. > :16:21.Look what they are doing, giving it a hip hop action. I thought - look
:16:22. > :16:29.at t we'll get everyone at hope doing it. Cameramen, start at my
:16:30. > :16:32.gorgeous ankles. It goes wrong as we head further up. But it is about
:16:33. > :16:39.pushing into the floor and as the camera moves up. Oh, he is a good
:16:40. > :16:45.boy. You are on form! So we roll through the hips. Right, so we get
:16:46. > :16:50.the pushing and the rolling. All you do, you add this - at my age we
:16:51. > :16:52.should still get a bit of hip hop in. Any age. Bring it on. That's
:16:53. > :16:54.what I say. should still get a bit of hip hop
:16:55. > :16:57.in. Any age. Bring it on. That's what I say. Karen enjoyed that too
:16:58. > :16:59.much. I don't think there is anything wrong with stepping outside
:17:00. > :17:01.the box and having fun. Peter and Janette danced
:17:02. > :17:02.the Viennese waltz. Len said it was good,
:17:03. > :17:11.but "to get a 10 you have to do What was missing, if anything? Very
:17:12. > :17:17.simple. He has got to be a man. He has to be a man. Look at this, he is
:17:18. > :17:20.looking at Janette all the way through this performance. I have
:17:21. > :17:24.been watching this for a while. This guy is an incredible performer, an
:17:25. > :17:29.amazing dancer. The relationship, I'm very pro them, I love what they
:17:30. > :17:33.are doing, but be a man, stop looking at her. Stop looking at her.
:17:34. > :17:38.He has to be a leader on the dance floor. He has to show her the way
:17:39. > :17:42.around the dance floor. What I want to see and what maybe Len and some
:17:43. > :17:46.of the others ark looking for, he has to be the leader, take control,
:17:47. > :17:51.initiate the moves and let Janette be the gorgeous lady that whisks
:17:52. > :17:52.around him and make him look greater than he already is.
:17:53. > :17:55.And finally, Georgia and Giovanni brought the house down on Saturday
:17:56. > :18:14.This is what we have got to pick up on, she keeps dancing, and we think
:18:15. > :18:18.it is all over, but we are up and over again. She has got the
:18:19. > :18:28.character, the isolation, the footwork, and she has got the
:18:29. > :18:36.Fossey. All the way. She came out of her shell and started to perform,
:18:37. > :18:38.completely loved it. So exciting! And now to Blackpool.
:18:39. > :18:57.You saw the audition process, it is time to debut might new sidekick.
:18:58. > :19:06.Let's see what gems our jukebox has for us this week.
:19:07. > :19:21.So this is the Tina Turner classic River Deep, Mountain High.
:19:22. > :19:27.Factoid fans, did you know Tina's real name is
:19:28. > :19:40.So which one of our couples is jiving to it?
:19:41. > :19:56.This is the Whitney Houston ballad I Have Nothing.
:19:57. > :20:02.Interestingly, Whitney's favourite subject at school was history.
:20:03. > :20:12.Maths. I knew there was something about you!
:20:13. > :20:16.But who will be getting themselves into a spin to this in Blackpool?
:20:17. > :20:31.Apparently, the sound of Dolly's nails rubbing
:20:32. > :20:37.together can be heard as part of the percussion on this song.
:20:38. > :20:51.To find out what music the rest of our couples are dancing to,
:20:52. > :20:57.This weekend Strictly goes t'up north to the home of ballroom,
:20:58. > :21:05.which means we're in for a suitably special group dance.
:21:06. > :21:22.This is a celebration of making it here, I want to do a number where
:21:23. > :21:26.the celebrities feel special. It is more soft, more traditional ballroom
:21:27. > :21:34.dancing, Viennese Forbes, then it picks up, we go quick step match our
:21:35. > :21:39.child, possibly. It is a fusion of so many styles. We are vaguely
:21:40. > :21:45.familiar, but we want them to look as good as the professionals. That
:21:46. > :21:49.is the challenge. Everybody is doing brilliantly, that is part of it, you
:21:50. > :21:55.do not want to let the side down, we are all trying hard. It is a
:21:56. > :22:01.celebration of the final eight, I can't believe I am saying that! This
:22:02. > :22:06.tops the Halloween one, it is great. This routine will be so magical, I
:22:07. > :22:11.cannot wait to perform it in Blackpool.
:22:12. > :22:31.Hello and welcome, Jamelia and Tristan!
:22:32. > :22:48.Can we take a moment to celebrate what a pair of survivors you are!
:22:49. > :23:00.Look at the shimmy! feeling? I cannot describe it. I
:23:01. > :23:05.feel battered, can I say that? Refuse to lose! That is so good!
:23:06. > :23:08.In the history of Strictly, you are the only couple to have
:23:09. > :23:18.You can't deny that's a great achievement?
:23:19. > :23:25.How disappointed were you to be back there?
:23:26. > :23:34.I did expect it, because we were in the bottom two, I thought, be
:23:35. > :23:41.prepared. I could not call who else would be there. Just before we went
:23:42. > :23:47.to do our dance,... She gave up on the! I said, I have had a brilliant
:23:48. > :23:57.time, I wish you all the best! I was saying goodbye! Let's just enjoy our
:23:58. > :24:06.last dance! Have you gone through that feeling as well? You have to
:24:07. > :24:12.expect it. Everybody expects it, you go, I don't want to be there, I will
:24:13. > :24:20.try as hard as I can. There will always be two people in it. It just
:24:21. > :24:23.happens to be you quite a bit! Contemplating giving up dancing on
:24:24. > :24:29.Saturday and just coming in on Sunday! Fight it out between
:24:30. > :24:31.yourselves! We will see one of you that!
:24:32. > :24:33.Dance-off aside, when you performed on Saturday
:24:34. > :24:49.Darcey said your upper body isolations were phenomenal.
:24:50. > :24:57.I love and upper body isolation! Did you feel good? This is the first
:24:58. > :25:04.that I can say I just enjoyed every second of. I came away feeling
:25:05. > :25:07.great. It was brilliant, not that it was brilliant in terms of scores,
:25:08. > :25:10.but feeling wise, I love it. Craig did mention your hands, saying
:25:11. > :25:21.they were particularly unattractive. Craig commented on your bent legs,
:25:22. > :25:28.but Karen said he was wrong! Bend them as much as you can! Are they
:25:29. > :25:37.going to be straight or bent this week? A bit of both! We have got a
:25:38. > :25:38.great one this week, quick step. It is the most Latin of ballroom
:25:39. > :25:41.dances. Handy! Craig did mention your hands, saying
:25:42. > :25:44.they were particularly unattractive. Come on, Jamelia, show us
:25:45. > :26:02.what Tristan has taught you. Look at that! What did Craig want?
:26:03. > :26:08.Who knows? He said they should be pointed down. Maybe they should, but
:26:09. > :26:14.for me, when your hands go down, everything is going to go down. I
