:00:20. > :00:27.Horwood will discuss Saturday's performances and things are about
:00:27. > :00:37.to get competitive. Natalie Lo we is here. This is Strictly Come
:00:37. > :01:08.
:01:08. > :01:11.This is Strictly Come Dancing: It Takes Two. Please welcome your host,
:01:11. > :01:15.it's Zoe Ball. APPLAUSE
:01:15. > :01:21.Hello. Welcome to Strictly Come Dancing: It Takes Two. The weekend
:01:21. > :01:30.was all about stamina, Strictly- style. We saw energetic routines
:01:30. > :01:35.and huff and puff from the judges. It was ainto Anita's last dance on
:01:35. > :01:41.the dance floor. I will be chat to go Anita, Brendan and Robin after
:01:41. > :01:45.this round-up of the weekend's action.
:01:45. > :01:53.Seductive foxtrot. You owed it, Holly, well done.
:01:53. > :01:58.Ji I felt you took a major step backwards and I felt it was not
:01:58. > :02:05.good. Well, executed, great shapes. I
:02:05. > :02:10.loved, but I want you to be badder. It was cute. It was pleasant. There
:02:10. > :02:16.was a lot of basic steps there. Overall, you have done a good job.
:02:16. > :02:26.It was a shaba, it was a samba and there was good content and then you
:02:26. > :02:31.
:02:31. > :02:41.stick all that content in. That was good.
:02:41. > :02:43.
:02:43. > :02:51.That was outstanding. I can now reveal that the couple
:02:51. > :02:56.leaving tonight is Anita and Brendan.
:02:56. > :02:59.Please we can Anita, Robin and Brendan.
:02:59. > :03:03.APPLAUSE Oh. Look, you are two boys.
:03:03. > :03:07.I'm wearing them out at the rate of knots.
:03:07. > :03:11.Ainto ta, you have loved your -- Anita, you have loved your time in
:03:11. > :03:17.Strictly. How does it feel to be out now? It feels sad, but I was
:03:17. > :03:22.kind of prepared. I thought maybe I could have had one more week and it
:03:22. > :03:25.would have nice to have finished with Rob n, but -- Robin, but I was
:03:25. > :03:31.red. I wasn't up to the league that people like Harry and Chelsee have
:03:31. > :03:36.got to. I have taken longer to crank my way up. When they said you
:03:36. > :03:39.were in the bottom two. Did think, "This is it.". Yes.
:03:39. > :03:45.Doesn't she look gorgeous tonight? Thank you.
:03:45. > :03:49.You are going out in style. Bobby, I know you are feeling better now,
:03:49. > :03:56.but you weren't able to dance on Saturday. How horrible was it for
:03:56. > :03:59.you to watch from home and then see the elimination? Watching from home
:03:59. > :04:03.was gut-wrenching, I wanted to be there so badly and to have to sit
:04:03. > :04:07.there and just watch it, it was heartbreaking to be honest.
:04:08. > :04:12.It was like a a proper break-up. Brendan and a huge responsibility
:04:12. > :04:15.on you. Did you feel the pressure on Saturday? I did. I knew what I
:04:15. > :04:22.was going in for though. We knew it was going to be a tough week to get
:04:22. > :04:26.through. I felt deeply gutted for Robin not not being there in the
:04:26. > :04:29.first place and a huge amount of responsibility to help Anita get
:04:29. > :04:35.through the week so Robin had a job to come back and unfortunately it
:04:35. > :04:39.didn't work out. I am as about as gutted as I could have been.
:04:39. > :04:43.You did incredibly well. I am very happy with what we did on
:04:43. > :04:50.Saturday. I think Anita had a blistering week and she really
:04:50. > :04:58.danced well. You should be proud of yourselves.
:04:58. > :05:02.Suzie Online said, "Anita Dobson was wonderful. Such an infectious
:05:02. > :05:06.smile. A real star." There have been so many messages like that.
:05:06. > :05:12.Have Have you had a favourite dance, Anita out of the nine you have
:05:12. > :05:17.done? I think the two of my favourites were the Argentine tango.
:05:17. > :05:21.I felt like I connected with that and our first waltz. That was so
:05:21. > :05:23.perfect and so... And it was the beginning of our journey which was
:05:23. > :05:28.really special. What do you think you will miss
:05:28. > :05:32.most about the whole Strictly thing? Apart from dancing every day
:05:32. > :05:39.and learning so much, I'm going to miss the gang. I'm going to miss
:05:39. > :05:45.being in the make-up room from the girls and hanging out in wardrobe.
:05:45. > :05:53.Just come and hang out every day! Anita, you have been glorious. I
:05:53. > :06:02.have I have loved watching you. Here is your your Strictly. The man
:06:02. > :06:07.you will be dancing is is Robin you will be dancing is is Robin
:06:07. > :06:13.Windsor. We will keep the L-plates on for a
:06:13. > :06:15.while! I wish I was a dancer. You are a dancer.
:06:15. > :06:22.Beautifully acted. I thought that hole routine was
:06:22. > :06:31.gorgeous. There is lots of... It is great fun
:06:31. > :06:41.and I'm loving learning it. A spice that raises the heat.
:06:41. > :06:41.
:06:41. > :06:46.I look like a liquorice Allsort on acid.
:06:47. > :06:49.You are a man. -- you are a machine m I loved the
:06:49. > :06:55.characterisation. I thought that was brilliant.
:06:55. > :07:00.Fun, energetic and entertainment. I would love to see somebody else
:07:00. > :07:05.at 62 dance with that much energy. I don't have any problems with the
:07:05. > :07:14.lifts because Bobby is so safe and so strong.
:07:14. > :07:18.I loved it, but I thought it was sophisticated, it was classy.
:07:18. > :07:26.I've improved. This tango is a nightmare!
:07:26. > :07:31.This tango is a nightmare! You're a nightmare.
:07:31. > :07:37.I never knew you could play so evil. I loved the drama. You were quite
:07:37. > :07:47.scary out there. This week we're doing the
:07:47. > :07:48.
:07:48. > :07:52.Charleston. It is the Marx Brothers. Now I see why you are a national
:07:52. > :07:54.treasure. You are beautiful and you have great spirit.
:07:54. > :07:58.I'm never going to get there. You are.
:07:58. > :08:06.We have settled into a nice teacher/pupil relationship where we
:08:06. > :08:11.can laugh about if. I hate this bit.
:08:11. > :08:14.Oh sexy mamma, queen of drama, you can tango.
:08:14. > :08:18.Dancing next Saturday, Anita and Robin.
:08:18. > :08:22.I'm still here and I get to go to to Wembley so I'm thrilled.
:08:22. > :08:30.Fabulous. You come out every dance and you
:08:30. > :08:37.give it 100%. I've played Wembley. I've danced with this fantastic
:08:37. > :08:44.dancer. It's the jewel in the crown. Robin hurt his foot. I don't know
:08:44. > :08:49.what I'm going to do. Brendan Cole to the rescue.
:08:49. > :08:54.Now you're talking. There was no true dynamic to it.
:08:54. > :08:59.It was a little bit messy in places, but you have done a good job.
:08:59. > :09:05.The couple leaving tonight is Anita and Brendan.
:09:05. > :09:09.Anita, you were just a darling. Robin, I'm sorry. I really wanted
:09:09. > :09:14.to do it for you. Robin, I'm really sorry, I would have loved to have
:09:15. > :09:22.had another week to dance with you, but you have made it one of the
:09:22. > :09:23.most beautiful journeys. Thank you from the bottom of my heart.
:09:23. > :09:26.APPLAUSE How does it feel, Anita, when you
:09:26. > :09:30.watch it back like that? What an amazing adventure you have had?
:09:30. > :09:35.Very emotional. I have got the glitter tissues.
:09:35. > :09:39.With the bling. You want it had do it because you
:09:39. > :09:43.wanted to become a dancer. You leave the competition feeling like
:09:43. > :09:50.a dancer? When I started, every time I tried to turn around, I
:09:50. > :09:57.would fall over, Robin spent ages teaching me how to spin.
:09:57. > :10:01.The good thing is your journey together, I use the J word, it is
:10:01. > :10:05.not over because you are doing the tour together? Yes. Fantastic so
:10:05. > :10:09.you get to go and do it again and again and again and again.
:10:09. > :10:17.Every night. Any plans to step in this weekend?
:10:17. > :10:23.I heard Kristina is not feeling great. Will you be partnering
:10:23. > :10:33.Jason? I can see it working out! You could still win it, you could!
:10:33. > :10:35.
:10:35. > :10:36.Thank you, Anita, we have loved having you. We will miss you.
:10:36. > :10:38.APPLAUSE Tensions were running high on
:10:39. > :10:46.Saturday as our celebrities had to compete in two dances. Everything
:10:46. > :10:50.went smoothly on the night, but it a different story backstage?
:10:50. > :11:00.Come on the swing-a-thon. There is seven of them. The magnificent
:11:00. > :11:01.
:11:01. > :11:04.seven out there. This is the start of the real pressure.
:11:04. > :11:10.I woke up every hour. It is more pressure because we're
:11:11. > :11:18.doing two dances. I'm dreading it. Who needs me? Who needs me this
:11:18. > :11:28.week? Am I dancing with Robbie. No, it is Jason Donovan! I think that's
:11:28. > :11:29.
:11:30. > :11:37.your song for this week. Everybody is going through their rehearsals
:11:37. > :11:43.with the band. Unfortunately, with three hats they
:11:43. > :11:46.don't fit. We're Waiting for someone from wardrobe to come and
:11:46. > :11:51.find hats that fit. The routine is structured around
:11:51. > :11:55.the hats. She is very stressed about it.
:11:55. > :11:59.I'm more nervous about the swing-a- thon than the dance because all the
:11:59. > :12:08.couples are on the floor so it will be more competitive and I don't
:12:08. > :12:14.like that. I will have to shove them out of the way!
:12:14. > :12:20.There is war on the floor. Brendan and Anita. And Brendan was
:12:20. > :12:27.trying to keep his steps as small as possible. I don't want an angry
:12:27. > :12:32.Brendan barking at me! I feel nervous now.
:12:32. > :12:36.Surely blokes can do their own hair, right? I can understand with girls
:12:36. > :12:46.they have different hair styles, but a bloke should be able to do
:12:46. > :12:53.
:12:53. > :12:57.his own hair. Dead cute. Now we have got dressed.
:12:57. > :13:02.I'm not worried about the swing-a- thon because I have accepted from
:13:02. > :13:06.an early stage that we will be out soon. With James being a dude, we
:13:06. > :13:15.can't stay in half a minute, he will be on the floor
:13:15. > :13:22.hyperventilating! I'm trying to rehearse, but my mind
:13:22. > :13:29.has gone blank. I must say whatever people at home
:13:30. > :13:38.think of Craig, he is always honest. He is actually very nice.
:13:38. > :13:42.Image, darling. Show time. Hoop How long have we
:13:42. > :13:47.got? About five minutes. Well, I'm ready.
:13:47. > :13:54.Do this for Robin. It is time to go.
:13:54. > :13:57.Everybody is in there. We're going to go live.
:13:57. > :14:06.Now time to catch up with a man with high standards, but low scores.
:14:06. > :14:08.It is Craig Revel Horwood. APPLAUSE
:14:08. > :14:10.Darling. Quite an entrance as always,
:14:10. > :14:16.darling. Elegance, grace.
:14:16. > :14:19.And what's the other one? Style. That's it. Did you enjoy Saturday's
:14:19. > :14:25.performances? I did. I very much enjoyed it. I had a really, really
:14:25. > :14:32.good time as a matter of fact. By the end of the show I was in a
:14:32. > :14:35.frenzy. My husband was asleep on the sofa. We have just said an
:14:35. > :14:39.emotional goodbye to ainto ta. Do you think the -- Anita, do you
:14:39. > :14:43.think the public made the right vote there? We are relying on the
:14:43. > :14:48.public and I think they make it through informed choices and yes,
:14:48. > :14:52.in my opinion, I think it was time for Anita to go. Let's face it,
:14:52. > :14:56.someone has got to be in the bottom two, you know, and there has to be
:14:56. > :15:02.someone that has to leave and I think she went on a really good
:15:02. > :15:04.note and she had a fantastic season. I don't think she can complain and
:15:04. > :15:09.people at home have been loving her as well.
:15:09. > :15:13.She is greatly loved. Let's talk about Saturday's routines and we
:15:13. > :15:20.will start with Harry. You were the only judge not to give him a ten.
:15:20. > :15:27.But before you say anything, I have got a message for you, oh yeah...
:15:27. > :15:37.would just like to say that I thought Harry did brilliantly well
:15:37. > :15:39.
:15:39. > :15:45.on Saturday and I think he should have got a ten from Craig.
:15:45. > :15:49.Many boo, hiss, what is your reason? Explain why Harry didn't
:15:49. > :15:55.get a ten from you? His left foot and his thumb. I prefer the thumb
:15:55. > :16:00.down, you know, on the back of the lady's hand and his left foot is
:16:00. > :16:04.slightly sickled and it is out of shape and wonky.
:16:04. > :16:09.Is that a physical thing? Is that something he can correct? He needs
:16:09. > :16:13.to think of keeping that foot in line rather than turning it in and
:16:13. > :16:17.particularly in the air as well, you know, he needs to make sure his
:16:17. > :16:26.footwork is lined up. If that had of happened darling, if I noticed
:16:26. > :16:29.it, it may have been a ten. A it is a shake, isn't it -- it is a shame,
:16:29. > :16:33.isn't it? Do you think he stand as chance of get ago ten? He is
:16:33. > :16:40.fantastic and it is just these tiny little details now and of course,
:16:40. > :16:45.it is going to come toe that, isn't it? -- to that? You know, we want
:16:45. > :16:52.to see really good dancing in the final and I want it to be fantastic.
:16:52. > :16:58.You want perfection? Do I, darling. Alex and James, you you thought
:16:59. > :17:02.Alex's Charleston was a major step back for her. There were gasps of
:17:02. > :17:05.horror from the audience as you said that. Explain more?
:17:05. > :17:09.competition is getting tougher and I'm getting tougher and I'm judging
:17:10. > :17:16.more detail. When you do a Charleston, it is meant to be gofy
:17:16. > :17:20.and this was just all a little bit in between. It wean going to enough
:17:20. > :17:24.extreme. For instance, any of the shoulder stuff really needs to be
:17:24. > :17:30.high and you know, exaggerated. Any time you do a push, you go out for
:17:30. > :17:37.it. It is meant to look sort of bizarre and extraordinary.
:17:37. > :17:40.I did see you bit of Charleston on the tour. It is extreme. It nearly
:17:40. > :17:44.killed me. James, not happy with the scores.
:17:44. > :17:50.Alesha said perhaps under marked with a six.
:17:50. > :17:56.James, please, get a life. That's dealt with that. Holly and
:17:57. > :18:00.Artem, very modern and sexy foxtrot. Did you like the concept? I did and
:18:00. > :18:08.when I heard the music I was ready to hate it because I thought this
:18:08. > :18:12.is crazy music to pair with a fax trot and -- foxtrot and it wasn't
:18:12. > :18:19.your classic scenario and it was growing on me and building and
:18:19. > :18:24.building and I thought, "Actually this works in this position. I'm
:18:24. > :18:28.loving this actually.". I love it when you are surprised by your
:18:28. > :18:36.reaction. I love this. I know what joy is!
:18:36. > :18:42.Yrp they Why Why were they in the bottom two? It is a lot to do with
:18:42. > :18:47.the public. If you land anywhere in the middle of that leaderboard, you
:18:47. > :18:52.have got to be either really bad and you want people to vote or you
:18:52. > :19:00.have got to be amazing. And she is falling between those two stools at
:19:00. > :19:03.the moment. I think maybe, some sort of scenario on a VT might help.
:19:03. > :19:13.She needs to get people voting for her.
:19:13. > :19:19.
:19:19. > :19:23.. I want those things that you turn up side down and go moo. Robbie and
:19:23. > :19:28.Ola, you are normally a fan of people flashing their flesh, but
:19:28. > :19:33.shorts reveal from Robbie and you didn't like it? When one is only
:19:33. > :19:40.doing it to canvas votes, that's when I get unhappy. What was the
:19:40. > :19:48.story to that? I liked it. The shirt should have come off as
:19:48. > :19:54.well and and there should have been a number too toed on him. All All
:19:54. > :19:59.change or no change. Right, he is taking note. Chelsee
:19:59. > :20:03.and Pasha, their routine was complicated, but you said she was
:20:03. > :20:06.missing her A-frame. I know what that is, but to everybody else
:20:06. > :20:12.that is, but to everybody else watching at home? It is different
:20:12. > :20:16.to the ballroom tango. The shaping is like this. You lean towards one
:20:16. > :20:23.another so you are creating a frame like that rather than a V-shaped
:20:23. > :20:28.frame like that. So she was somewhere sort of split in between
:20:28. > :20:34.her ballroom look and the proper Argentine tango look. That was the
:20:34. > :20:38.only real shame and I mentioned as well the invisible line between two
:20:38. > :20:48.people that you must maintain and that's directional in this
:20:48. > :20:48.
:20:48. > :20:52.particular dance. When the man decides to move his solar plexus,
:20:52. > :21:01.the woman has to follow. You have to imagine that invisible line
:21:01. > :21:05.between yourself and I. I am confused. Every time I lean in
:21:05. > :21:13.-- every time you lean in, I lean it. It is that incredible power you
:21:13. > :21:18.have over me. Jason and Kristina, you were willing willing Jason not
:21:18. > :21:25.to go wrong. He made a tiny mistake. Because of Wembley. A tiny mistake.
:21:25. > :21:30.You see, this is the torture. You can't afford to make tiny mistake.
:21:30. > :21:34.What mistake did he make? It was the kicks. It seems to be kicks
:21:34. > :21:38.getting him. The same happened at Wembley. The kick section, he tried
:21:38. > :21:43.to kick the foot theafs stand on -- that he was standing on. Do you
:21:43. > :21:50.think he is haunted by the kicks? told him backstage, I said, "Don't
:21:50. > :21:57.do anymore kicks, darling because they seem to go wrong.". He got
:21:57. > :22:02.four nines. He is fantastic. He has has to get up to Harry's standard
:22:02. > :22:05.and not make any mistakes because we are going to be really picky.
:22:05. > :22:10.Right, the swing-a-thon as well, how difficult is it to judge when
:22:10. > :22:14.you have got seven couples. How do you know who to look at at? It is
:22:15. > :22:19.easy to tell who is the worst and who is the best on one viewing and
:22:19. > :22:24.if you think that every single ballroom competition is judged in
:22:24. > :22:28.this way in reality, the judges stand around the dance floor and
:22:28. > :22:32.they are adjudicating from the standing position when all couples
:22:32. > :22:36.are dancing together so you can always tell. It is quite easy I
:22:36. > :22:43.think. If you have got an eye for it, I suppose it is con confusing
:22:43. > :22:47.to most people. We were having a big con fab up there about who we
:22:47. > :22:52.thought and Robbie going out first was unanimous.
:22:52. > :22:56.Was it? Yes. And Harry stole the show? That was
:22:56. > :23:02.tough because they were equally good. It was just the acrobatic
:23:02. > :23:07.nature, I think, of his cartwheels and his hand stance that gave him a
:23:07. > :23:12.little edge on Chelsee. Good luck with movie week on
:23:12. > :23:18.Saturday. Will we be tempting you out from behind the desk? There is
:23:19. > :23:23.a lot going on darling this year, it seems.
:23:23. > :23:28.Always open to offers. Abslaught lie.
:23:28. > :23:32.Craig Revel Horwood -- absolutely. Craig Revel Horwood.
:23:32. > :23:41.Names In the past challenges have included taking on a dance machine
:23:41. > :23:45.and a giant keyboard. Today, we are launching it the It Takes Two Pro
:23:45. > :23:48.Dance Challenge. The fans have been looking forward to this. You are
:23:48. > :23:53.the official adjudicator of the challenge. Is it a tough one this
