:00:49. > :00:57.Live from London, this is Strictly a text to!
:00:58. > :01:05.As ever there were thrilling treats from the Strictly
:01:06. > :01:10.But it wasn't all fun and games, things came to a chilling climax
:01:11. > :01:13.last night when Anastacia and Brendan were given the chop
:01:14. > :01:19.Luckily for us, though, it's not as gory as it sounds -
:01:20. > :01:24.they're joining us in the Green Room tonight!
:01:25. > :01:29.Along with a rather bewitching duo...
:01:30. > :01:40.A handsome prince, doesn't he look cute in his outfit?
:01:41. > :01:43.Plus, here to tell us which dances were naughty and nice
:01:44. > :01:46.in Choreography Corner - it's Chloe and Neil!
:01:47. > :01:52.But first - she was 'Outta Love' with the judges last night
:01:53. > :01:55.and the time has finally come to 'set her free'...
:01:56. > :01:56.Before we say goodbye, here's Anastacia and
:01:57. > :02:38.Welcome. Though inside circumstances. You have had quite an
:02:39. > :02:51.experience at Strictly Come Dancing, what an exciting one, but no more
:02:52. > :02:57.Dancastasia. I am doing well. Overall what I got was what I got, I
:02:58. > :03:02.wanted to raise awareness in best cancer and I wanted to find my own
:03:03. > :03:05.piece of fame that I lost. So to me it was a total win-win. Whenever you
:03:06. > :03:09.goes when you go any car control that and you have just got to do the
:03:10. > :03:16.best you can do. Which you absolutely did, and can I just said,
:03:17. > :03:18.the outfits, I make up, wings, hoverboard. Missed. We really did
:03:19. > :03:31.try. We try to bring in a cave. Would you enjoy that? I did, you
:03:32. > :03:37.have to do the best you can do anything we gave it that we could
:03:38. > :03:41.give it. Absolutely. Bruno was saying you're giving him Tina
:03:42. > :03:44.Turner. Craig said something about the kicks and flicks, I have done
:03:45. > :03:49.that, it is impossible, you do it for two and a half minute it is
:03:50. > :03:53.exhausting. It truly is. One of the most difficult things about the
:03:54. > :03:57.jive, you can only practice it's a much fuller falling on the floor and
:03:58. > :04:00.get that level of technique and to get everything fine on the night is
:04:01. > :04:04.actually a very hard thing to do. We did quite well. Looking back, I can
:04:05. > :04:10.see what they are saying. It is fair enough what they are saying but
:04:11. > :04:18.overall, a nice way to end, I think. Identical I rehearsed that great. --
:04:19. > :04:31.I don't think I. You have to be real with it, I'm not delusional. I keep
:04:32. > :04:37.it very realistic. I like that. Bellew honest-acia. They just keep
:04:38. > :04:40.going! James from Hampshire says science to see them leave but so
:04:41. > :04:44.proud of what you have come through and achieved on Strictly.
:04:45. > :04:48.Dancastasia! So good, and you went for it in the dance-off as welcome
:04:49. > :04:53.you came out and gave it more fire and energy. Nothing like a
:04:54. > :04:57.dance-off. Just before we do that, I said leave nothing in the dressing
:04:58. > :05:00.women that is exactly what happened. You have got to put everything up
:05:01. > :05:04.there or it could be your last dance. It was for us, but it is a
:05:05. > :05:08.very exciting feeling when you are out there doing it, probably less so
:05:09. > :05:12.for these guys. A very exciting feeling I had watching you being
:05:13. > :05:22.King vampire in the Sunday night pro dance. That was amazing
:05:23. > :05:25.storytelling. Very exciting, choreographed by Beth Cohen. We had
:05:26. > :05:31.great feedback on social media. Thank you for your lovely feedback.
:05:32. > :05:34.Jason talking about: buffy the show tomorrow. I felt he had more to
:05:35. > :05:43.give, was there a Willy looking forward to doing? The salsa that I
:05:44. > :05:49.got injured on was who conduct that was in my wheelhouse, so
:05:50. > :05:54.unfortunately, Latin Anastacia has left the building. Unfortunately she
:05:55. > :05:57.was not able to flower. But I felt like the quickstep became my salsa
:05:58. > :06:03.and that was just a lovely way to sort of remember the dances as a
:06:04. > :06:07.whole. I think I am a ballroom dancer now. LAUGHTER
:06:08. > :06:13.I thought I was Latin. I love the welts. And look what happened in
:06:14. > :06:24.quickstep. Enjoy your Strictly Story. My partner is a maze balls.
:06:25. > :06:33.Hi honey I'm home. First dance is the cha-cha-cha. Alex. OK, go. Based
:06:34. > :06:42.on this, I am expecting a fantastic dance next week. This week I'm doing
:06:43. > :06:51.the salsa. I am channelling might in a Latina Anastacia. Considering you
:06:52. > :06:57.have got an injury I felt you did a good job, well done. I can reveal
:06:58. > :07:02.the couple with a few fewest votes and therefore out of the competition
:07:03. > :07:08.is Melvin and Janette. I feel awful. I just wish I could have danced. I
:07:09. > :07:15.don't know, I dead even have words, I really don't. The Viennese welts
:07:16. > :07:21.is loving and loving. I have a desire to make this dance really
:07:22. > :07:25.ten. You have come back with an enormous sense of confidence and
:07:26. > :07:30.that is brilliant. CHEERING We are doing the rumba. I didn't
:07:31. > :07:39.know there was a dance like that. Very sensual. I thought you Ross
:07:40. > :07:44.Taylor Labit fluidity and it just became somewhat stilted. You lost a
:07:45. > :07:49.little bit of fluidity. Sometimes life is in front of you have just
:07:50. > :07:59.got to find a way around it. We have Koke coming in. My goal is to make
:08:00. > :08:05.Brendan proud. Identified to upset friend and that it was your best
:08:06. > :08:09.dance. I was so chuffed. I loved it. You are doing the jive. When I go
:08:10. > :08:19.out there I don't want to be winging it. Totally batty! Just a little bit
:08:20. > :08:24.flat-footed. It was laboured, it was led I'm afraid. One of you will come
:08:25. > :08:30.back next week and one of you will leave tonight. I always wanted to be
:08:31. > :08:33.more of a dancer and this is the perfect way to do it, I think. You
:08:34. > :08:43.are amazing, thank you so much for everything. APPLAUSE
:08:44. > :08:51.It is very emotional watching it. It is wild because it is kind of like
:08:52. > :08:59.watching your memorial. On Halloween! How sweet and gentle. It
:09:00. > :09:05.is what it is, this show is amazing because it continues to keep on just
:09:06. > :09:09.letting people know to move on. And embrace all of what life is, and
:09:10. > :09:14.that's what I really like about what the show represents. I love that.
:09:15. > :09:19.Brendan, what has oppressed you most about Anastacia's experience? Sheer
:09:20. > :09:22.determination and grit. Always willing to get stuck in and do a
:09:23. > :09:25.great day's training and prepare for the Saturday. Not an easy thing
:09:26. > :09:28.these guys put themselves through and it has been a really positive
:09:29. > :09:33.attitude throughout the show and that is something not everyone
:09:34. > :09:40.makes. We have a little treat for you as it is Halloween. Oh my God!
:09:41. > :09:45.Where did you find it? In a posh shop. Thank you, this is what I
:09:46. > :09:49.called Candy corn the other day and people like what, what is that?
:09:50. > :09:54.Would you like to see added your friends to lift the lid of the
:09:55. > :09:59.trophy? Girl, I can't even go there, there are way too many right now.
:10:00. > :10:07.There are quite a few in the mix. I can go there! I was more than
:10:08. > :10:14.impressed with Danny energy plasma quickstep if you mix, so I am
:10:15. > :10:21.thinking maybe Danny in or two. I would vote for the underdog. You do
:10:22. > :10:26.that but you are already out! Remind me more. Look, it's over! You are
:10:27. > :10:29.welcome back any time, lots of love to both of you. Anastacia and
:10:30. > :10:49.Brendan! APPLAUSE There were a few little mistakes, be
:10:50. > :11:02.afraid, very afraid, it is time for Choreography Corner.
:11:03. > :11:08.Give it up for Chloe and Neil! It is lovely to see you back. Can I just
:11:09. > :11:17.see we are loving your outfits on Saturday. And your bow tie is
:11:18. > :11:22.made... Of clay. As you do. Of course it is, how was your first
:11:23. > :11:29.Strictly Halloween? I absolutely it, it has been my favourite week so
:11:30. > :11:33.far. It has been insane, hair, make-up, everybody. Well done to
:11:34. > :11:36.everybody. We will start with Laura and Giovanni who came back after
:11:37. > :11:41.their injury and did so brilliantly with the tango. Len said it was
:11:42. > :11:45.their best dance yet. Tell me what you thought. I thought it was great
:11:46. > :11:47.to see Laura and Giovanni back on the dance floor firstly and I
:11:48. > :11:51.thought she came back with a passionate tango, a good one to come
:11:52. > :11:56.back on. For me, her fame is just perfect. It comes really natural to
:11:57. > :11:59.her, which makes it so much easier for her to achieve. So I think
:12:00. > :12:03.that's brilliant. I really enjoyed that. I pointed that out before, I
:12:04. > :12:08.love that. You saw that, well done to her. Blake and Natalie and
:12:09. > :12:11.they're rumba. Craig said he couldn't even screw it because if
:12:12. > :12:16.they did not have enough room context, and now you are both very
:12:17. > :12:21.upset by those comments, wanted you think of them? I can understand why
:12:22. > :12:28.and I can see that. What I noticed, that we will see in a minute, if you
:12:29. > :12:35.look here now, a rogue spin, she runs away, they go back into a back
:12:36. > :12:39.Basic. What has happened here is because he is bending his legs,
:12:40. > :12:42.adding that is what Craig is meaning, he is missing that element
:12:43. > :12:47.committee could not quite see it. I think that balance of performance
:12:48. > :12:50.versus technique is quite difficult. For me, personally, I love their
:12:51. > :12:54.performance. I thought there were great. There were elements of
:12:55. > :12:58.contemporary in there which is probably why the balance wasn't
:12:59. > :13:06.right. Such a powerful song, beautiful song. Onwards and upwards,
:13:07. > :13:11.Greg. Louise and Kevin's charleston, I was loving the heath ledger joker
:13:12. > :13:18.Kevin, so good. Craig was describing their side-by-side kick section and
:13:19. > :13:21.how perfectly in time they were. They did an incredible job. I picked
:13:22. > :13:26.up the side-by-side part in particular because they were just in
:13:27. > :13:29.so much time together. And that is really hard to achieve. They must
:13:30. > :13:34.have spent hours on that. They did it brilliantly. And her character
:13:35. > :13:41.was crazy. One of my favourite numbers. I love this. And the
:13:42. > :13:44.outfit, well done. Moving onto Judge Rinder and Oksana. I knew this was
:13:45. > :13:49.going to be good but I could not have contemplated quite how good he
:13:50. > :13:54.was. Again, I know they are so happy to be in the 30s, what impressed you
:13:55. > :14:01.about this? Festival I am a big fan of Judge Rinder. Jump, Nice spin
:14:02. > :14:06.commonly walks. Look at the power. Paso doble at its best. This
:14:07. > :14:09.movement is so difficult, even top professional struggle at this
:14:10. > :14:13.movement so I want to give you a demonstration. Why I love it so
:14:14. > :14:18.much. Some professional struggle that this was the you are wearing
:14:19. > :14:22.the perfect trousers. First ball as he is going down he has to make sure
:14:23. > :14:30.the back foot is pointed, he then has to stretch through the five. And
:14:31. > :14:32.he has got to moving. To the next step. APPLAUSE
:14:33. > :14:38.I am definitely not going to attempt that.
:14:39. > :14:45.Corea and Joanne. They looked divine together in their charleston. I
:14:46. > :14:49.thought it was great. Craig said not enough swivel action. We've spoken
:14:50. > :14:53.about civil action before, haven't we? It so much about it, the judges,
:14:54. > :15:00.that's what they pick on straightaway. Bouncing on flat feet,
:15:01. > :15:04.not much swivel action, so that's where he missed out little. But he's
:15:05. > :15:11.such a great character. Every week he comes with the correct character
:15:12. > :15:17.for that dance. Energy and musicality, perfect. Perfect... I
:15:18. > :15:24.love it. That sound can only mean one thing, time up is for you two
:15:25. > :15:26.pretties. Not in an evil way, just like a horror film... You will be
:15:27. > :15:27.back later in the show. I think we can all agree
:15:28. > :15:30.that Strictly was pretty spectacular this weekend,
:15:31. > :15:32.but it takes more than Hocus Pocus Here's a behind the scenes look
:15:33. > :16:03.at the magic as it happened. Oksana's birthday and her favourite
:16:04. > :16:07.holiday, Halloween. I want to make it good for her. It's a really good
:16:08. > :16:11.routine and we have a couple of little bits that are a bit testing,
:16:12. > :16:17.but if we can get them right, hopefully it will add to it and make
:16:18. > :16:21.it really special. I've never dressed up for Halloween before, so
:16:22. > :16:22.this year I'm really excited just to get into the character and I'm
:16:23. > :16:44.loving it! I need to work on my evil laugh, I
:16:45. > :16:51.think! Know, Beard in mouth. OK... We're good. Everyone looks out of
:16:52. > :16:59.this world. It's so sparkly as well as quite scary. Even vampires are
:17:00. > :17:06.sparkling. LAUGHTER Its trick or treat time, would you
:17:07. > :17:16.like peach, rotten egg? Or stinky sock? Trick or treat, have a treat.
:17:17. > :17:30.What is it? Chocolate. What is it? What is it? Are they nasty flavours?
:17:31. > :17:42.No, I promise. Another trick, yes! LAUGHTER
:17:43. > :17:49.That's awful! Treat. I love apples. Yes!
:17:50. > :17:58.We're doing a Group Dance this week with the professionals, which is
:17:59. > :18:01.really exciting. I get to dance with Anastacia, which has been a new
:18:02. > :18:05.experience, absolutely brilliant. I'm not sure what I'm supposed to do
:18:06. > :18:07.yet but I'll have it sorted out by the time I get that. We live in five
:18:08. > :18:11.minutes. Let's go! Now as much as I love a theme,
:18:12. > :18:45.I have to admit I'm glad to see the back of Halloween,
:18:46. > :18:47.it just gives me the creeps... But I think we're over
:18:48. > :18:52.the worst of it now... Our next couple put
:18:53. > :19:04.a spell on our judges and leapfrogged to the top
:19:05. > :19:06.of the leaderboard - bippity boppity boo -
:19:07. > :19:17.it's Claudia and AJ! Tonight, my darling, you were as
:19:18. > :19:23.lyrical and beautiful and as rounded as you should be. The lifts where
:19:24. > :19:29.fluid and dramatic, I thought the whole thing was dynamic. It was
:19:30. > :19:38.spellbinding, really. Your footwork was brilliant, it was a really top
:19:39. > :19:45.notch performance. Claudia and AJ are here. Can I just say, well done!
:19:46. > :19:49.You totally aced the American smooth on Saturday night. A lot of people
:19:50. > :19:53.saying it was the dance of the night. You must have felt
:19:54. > :19:56.comfortable going into this far? Yes, for once, being positive, I did
:19:57. > :20:00.feel really confident going into it. All the rehearsals went right,
:20:01. > :20:05.leading up to it, it was great. Just going out there and getting those
:20:06. > :20:11.amazing comments, I was really surprised. I can't stop smiling at
:20:12. > :20:16.you two smiling! The judges were loving it. Craig said your lifts
:20:17. > :20:20.were fluid and dramatic. He said the whole thing was dynamic. What a
:20:21. > :20:24.Halloween treat. The weirdest thing for Halloween with him not saying
:20:25. > :20:29.one negative thing. We were like, oh my God, what's happening? It was
:20:30. > :20:32.amazing, I was waiting for the negatives but it was all positive
:20:33. > :20:38.and I thought, it's all right then. You are always waiting for the butt.
:20:39. > :20:45.AJ, Len was so pleased you have the confidence to give Claudia really
:20:46. > :20:52.complicated routine. I was so proud of Claudia, into the three step and
:20:53. > :20:55.Len picked it up. It worked, I was so happy. I think everyone at home
:20:56. > :21:01.was becoming... We all think we are experts watching it. When you see
:21:02. > :21:08.those terms... It is so exciting. And incredibly complicated lifts.
:21:09. > :21:13.Are they a doddle for you? You make them look so easy, Claudia. It is a
:21:14. > :21:18.little bit easier because I am a gymnast so I can fling myself
:21:19. > :21:23.around. She's starting to trust me! Starting to trust him a little bit.
:21:24. > :21:27.Some of the lifts, it was hard to keep the flow going getting in and
:21:28. > :21:31.out of it. I think that was the main thing the judges said previously.
:21:32. > :21:35.Just work on them quite a lot and we pulled it off, which was good. You
:21:36. > :21:42.could really see how you'd worked on. Sometimes it's like... Into the
:21:43. > :21:47.lift... We did it again and again to make sure it was flowing and I
:21:48. > :21:51.wasn't going to drop her, because I haven't dropped to yet. That's good.
:21:52. > :22:01.How is the trust? It's getting there, slowly! LAUGHTER
:22:02. > :22:04.Claudia, you're talking to our Claudia and talking about your gym
:22:05. > :22:07.training starting again this week. Very different disciplines. How are
:22:08. > :22:14.you going to keep her not distracted? Claudia was like, I want
:22:15. > :22:18.to implement some of the fluid arms into the gym. She's starting to join
:22:19. > :22:23.it all together to make it even more amazing. I love it. I'm excited to
:22:24. > :22:27.see your gymnastics after this as well. This week it is a paso doble
:22:28. > :22:35.for the two of you. We have seen some amazing paso doble dancers.
:22:36. > :22:38.Have you got any tips? I look at the dancers I'm going to be doing and
:22:39. > :22:43.watch the other performances on what the judges say to them and try
:22:44. > :22:47.not... If they say anything negative to them I'm already picking up and
:22:48. > :22:53.making sure I don't do that. I know it's quite fierce. We've only done
:22:54. > :22:59.an hour of it. It was a good hour, a very good hour. I'm getting there.
:23:00. > :23:05.We've not really seen a fierce Claudia yet. Are you excited about
:23:06. > :23:11.this character? I am. My gymnastics, when I go onto the floor, people say
:23:12. > :23:16.I look quite scary. Charming! She goes into the zone. It's a bit
:23:17. > :23:20.worrying, but it will work for this dance. I am very serious with my
:23:21. > :23:24.faces, I will put that into the routine and people will see a
:23:25. > :23:28.different side to me. Hopefully it's good! I'm so excited, can't wait to
:23:29. > :23:36.see it. Top of the leader board, well done. Two weeks of all the 9s,
:23:37. > :23:43.what you have to do to get a ten? I don't know, keep it going, make the
:23:44. > :23:47.lifts harder. Harder?! More technical and more wow. Whatever the
:23:48. > :23:52.wow is, I'm not sure yet, but when we get it, we will see that Ken. In
:23:53. > :23:58.week seven are you feeling more competitive than ever? I am getting
:23:59. > :24:02.more competitive every week. I just like to go out there and do the best
:24:03. > :24:06.performance I can. I'm one of those people that likes to beat myself up
:24:07. > :24:12.I want to get a higher score every time. Hopefully we do get a ten. It
:24:13. > :24:19.is heaven for me. Can I just say something queue came in. I know you
:24:20. > :24:24.love a selfie but is some competition, four year old Elliott,
:24:25. > :24:31.doing his best AJ. Gorgeous! That is a ten. It is. Good luck with your
:24:32. > :24:34.paso this week. Claudia and AJ! APPLAUSE
:24:35. > :24:36.Right time now to take a look at our remaining couples
:24:37. > :24:39.But what will our terrible twosome think?
:24:40. > :24:57.Please welcome back Chloe and Neil, everyone!
:24:58. > :25:04.Let's get back to allow couples, even with the very impressive score
:25:05. > :25:06.of 33 after a brilliant paso doble Daisy and Aljaz found themselves
:25:07. > :25:11.heartbreakingly back in the bottom two. What did you think of their
:25:12. > :25:16.paso doble? I was so upset for her, to be back there in the bottom two
:25:17. > :25:21.again. They going to forget that, moving forward. Now, I loved her
:25:22. > :25:24.performance. I felt she brought a different element to the paso doble.
:25:25. > :25:28.Everyone normally does a hard-hitting... She has gone for
:25:29. > :25:32.more sensual look, which is great. At the same time, when you're
:25:33. > :25:37.watching, she still got more passion and fire. The way she was heating
:25:38. > :25:41.Aljaz's chest. When they did the dance-off again... Yes. If I could
:25:42. > :25:45.give her any advice, don't worry about it, keep doing exactly what
:25:46. > :25:53.you're doing and I think it's going to be great. Perfect. Ed and Katya,
:25:54. > :25:57.for the first week were not in the bottom two! Well done to the two of
:25:58. > :26:06.them and to top that, Bruno called their cha-cha-cha a triumph. Neil is
:26:07. > :26:11.biased, temporary muddying his wife, what did you think, Chloe? I loved
:26:12. > :26:14.it. I think Ed is such an outstanding performer, week after
:26:15. > :26:18.week... Look at those facial expressions! He just brings
:26:19. > :26:20.everything. I am going to demonstrate one thing for you,
:26:21. > :26:28.because what I was disappointed with just a little... Here we go, here we
:26:29. > :26:34.go. He spent legs. He was going this way, all on Bent legs. What we like
:26:35. > :26:43.to see is a snappy cha-cha-cha. Snappy! Do you see what I mean?
:26:44. > :26:48.That's how it should be! APPLAUSE So difficult. It takes years to
:26:49. > :26:52.learn. Exactly, it takes years to learn. Claudia and AJ, how brilliant
:26:53. > :26:57.were they? There are American smooth was so good. Each of the judges
:26:58. > :27:04.impressed with her footwork. Yes, said the finish, he'll turns, the
:27:05. > :27:09.amount of dedication. If we look here, the way she brushes the feet.
:27:10. > :27:13.You can clearly see she has been working hard. I think it's really
:27:14. > :27:17.paying off. Footwork is really hard. A lot of people think, we don't need
:27:18. > :27:20.to worry, let's just entertain everyone and go with the
:27:21. > :27:24.performance. She has put the time and effort in and I think that's
:27:25. > :27:34.great. I think she's that kind of person, isn't she? Knowing AJ for a
:27:35. > :27:37.long time. Your dance partner. Yes. He is a drill Sergeant and he will
:27:38. > :27:40.have been making sure every single time that she got it right. She did
:27:41. > :27:45.it on the night which was incredible. So proud. They look a
:27:46. > :27:54.perfect partnership because she is a driven gymnast. They are brilliant.
:27:55. > :27:57.Danny and Oti and their foxtrot divided the judges. Len wasn't a fan
:27:58. > :28:01.of the appendage, the string between them, I thought it was a great
:28:02. > :28:05.concept. What was your take? It was different, a unique thing that has
:28:06. > :28:10.never been done on the show before. I think it was a tick for a smart
:28:11. > :28:15.idea. It kind of, for me, it was a shame he went wrong. Danny is such a
:28:16. > :28:19.great performer and he carried on. He didn't show that he was going
:28:20. > :28:22.wrong or panic or anything. I think a good job for him and I think he
:28:23. > :28:27.will come back this week with another fiery performance. What did
:28:28. > :28:32.you think? I actually loved it. I thought it was so clever. He's shown
:28:33. > :28:36.us he can dance well, we've seen that with performances before, but
:28:37. > :28:48.also to add that element in there and show he could actually use it...
:28:49. > :28:50.Great. No Halloween next Saturday. It is just back to straightforward
:28:51. > :28:53.costumes and dancing. What we need to see from our couples? Technique.
:28:54. > :28:59.Technique... Let's add a bit more technique, and entertainment.
:29:00. > :29:04.Desperately on the top. Are working so hard. I am loving the fact it is
:29:05. > :29:06.so competitive. We adore the two of you, come back and see us soon!
:29:07. > :29:11.Join us tomorrow at 6.30, where we'll chatting to Ore
:29:12. > :29:13.and Joanne and dance-off survivors Daisy and Aljaz.
:29:14. > :29:14.Plus, Strictly's creative director of choreography,
:29:15. > :29:17.Jason Gilkison will be here to answer your questions.
:29:18. > :29:20.All that and we find out what songs our couples will be
:29:21. > :29:44.Why, I am counting down to the new series of The Furchester Hotel!
