:00:11. > :00:21.It is Wednesday. Coming up on tonight's show. They survived the
:00:21. > :00:29.
:00:29. > :00:39.bottom twice, how bullish are Artem and Holly? Erin is up next for the
:00:39. > :01:09.
:01:09. > :01:12.Pro Dance Challenge. This is It Live Live from television this is
:01:12. > :01:20.It Takes Two. Please welcome your host, it's Zoe Ball.
:01:20. > :01:23.CHEERING AND APPLAUSE Hello. Welcome to Wednesday's It
:01:23. > :01:27.Takes Two. Yes, in case you are wondering what I was doing, it is
:01:27. > :01:31.movie week and for our six remaining couples box office
:01:31. > :01:36.success means a busy week in the training rooms. Holly and Artem
:01:36. > :01:46.nearly missed out when they found themselves in the bottom two. Here
:01:46. > :01:49.
:01:49. > :01:56.Seductive, demure and alluring. Sexy, hot, everything I wanted from
:01:56. > :02:00.you, that's the way to go. I would have much preferred it if
:02:00. > :02:07.had been a traditional foxtrot. However, what I saw of the foxtrot,
:02:07. > :02:13.I liked so well done. Yes!
:02:13. > :02:21.Thank you so much. He He got me to do the foxtrot
:02:21. > :02:23.which I wasn't really looking for - - forward to. It was really fun. I
:02:23. > :02:30.- forward to. It was really fun. I loved it.
:02:30. > :02:33.Please welcome Holly and Artem. CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
:02:33. > :02:41.You looked dangerously foxy on Saturday night. You got a standing
:02:41. > :02:47.ovation, a fantastic score and then bottom two. How infuriating for
:02:47. > :02:51.you? Not that great great considering I hadn't botched it at
:02:51. > :02:55.any point. Not a great score. Harry got tens.
:02:55. > :03:00.It just means this week we are reliant on the public vote to help
:03:00. > :03:05.us through. I want to stay in one more week and I'm doing paso doble
:03:05. > :03:12.which I'm loving. Hopefully we will get a chance. This is the point
:03:12. > :03:16.where you have to canvas. You have got to go out with a loud hailer at
:03:16. > :03:19.shopping centres, "Vote for me too.". Artem.
:03:19. > :03:22.Let's not do it. It worked for me!
:03:22. > :03:26.Last time you were the bottom two, you said you were expecting it.
:03:26. > :03:31.Surely not this time though. Did you think you were going to be OK?
:03:31. > :03:39.I thought our routine was good. We did all the moves correctly and the
:03:39. > :03:44.technique was OK. He will tell me. He is the first person to tell me.
:03:44. > :03:48.For him to not complain I thought "we are going to do well." And we
:03:48. > :03:53.didn't do very well. Frustrating, I can imagine. Karen
:03:53. > :03:58.said she loved your choreography. That's sweet, thank you.
:03:58. > :04:01.She knows good choreography. Len said, "I like what I saw." What did
:04:01. > :04:07.you make of his comments about the amount of foxtrot and the music
:04:07. > :04:13.choice? I actually think. This is for the first time I have done
:04:13. > :04:20.close position for so long in any dances so I was shocked when Len
:04:20. > :04:24.didn't like it. The music choice is traditional because it is so
:04:24. > :04:28.energising and that's what the foxtrot came from. To me it wasn't
:04:28. > :04:33.a contemporary song, I think it was a a traditional song. Just because
:04:33. > :04:38.it was released recently it doesn't mean it is new. When I choreograph
:04:38. > :04:42.to any music, I try to choreograph to the song so when he said that he
:04:42. > :04:50.- what he hears, he doesn't see on the floor. That That didn't make
:04:50. > :04:55.sense to me. Let's forget what what Len said. It is almost as if he is
:04:55. > :05:00.expecting you to not do what he is expecting you to do. Thomas said
:05:00. > :05:07.that you could be the dark horse of this competition, Holly.
:05:07. > :05:11.I would love to play that role. I am going to do my best this week.
:05:11. > :05:14.I I like it when you talk like that. It is movie week and you are doing
:05:14. > :05:19.the paso doble which you have really looked forward to doing.
:05:19. > :05:23.What is it you love about it and how is it going? It is fiery and
:05:24. > :05:27.passionate and there is a dual between us and it was the one I
:05:27. > :05:36.wanted to do, I would have been gutted if I didn't get a chance to
:05:36. > :05:41.do it.. Fantastic music as well. It is the theme from Zorro.
:05:41. > :05:45.Are you going to have a cape and and sword? I'm having a mask and
:05:45. > :05:50.cape, I might have a sword, but that's something to look forward to.
:05:50. > :05:55.Let's move on from that! Are you going to be embracing the costume
:05:55. > :06:02.action as well, are you going Zeta Jones? I am not super familiar with
:06:02. > :06:07.that version. I'm more focused on Zorro and I will sit there and
:06:07. > :06:13.hopefully look cute. I'm going traditional then!
:06:13. > :06:20.Take note, please. Be ware. We have as it has been movie week,
:06:20. > :06:30.we have made you your own B Movie, oh yeah, it is called... What does
:06:30. > :06:31.
:06:31. > :06:37.that mean. It is called The Four Foot Pole.
:06:37. > :06:41.This is what we do in Russia, we give them the stick and make them
:06:41. > :06:51.walk for months. It is petrifying.
:06:51. > :06:53.Here you go. Oh, yes. I'm going to vomit a little bit.
:06:53. > :06:58.Step towards the pole. Towards the pole.
:06:58. > :07:02.I'm scared of it. SCREAMING The pole out again. I
:07:02. > :07:12.thought we were over this. Don't move the pole.
:07:12. > :07:13.I don't think this is a good idea. SCREAMING The pole!
:07:13. > :07:18.APPLAUSE I loved it. Today in training, I
:07:18. > :07:23.thought he was going for it again and I was going, "Oh, come on." And
:07:23. > :07:30.he went for something and I said, "Thank goodness because I couldn't
:07:30. > :07:32.handle anymore of this pole." long as it works and it benefits
:07:32. > :07:35.the dancing we will stick with the pole.
:07:35. > :07:40.There are six of you left in the competition. What are you going to
:07:40. > :07:44.do to make sure that the people at home vote for you, Holly? I think
:07:44. > :07:49.I'm going to be aggressive because we've got nothing to lose and I
:07:49. > :07:54.feel really strongly about this dance. I love the music. I love the
:07:54. > :07:56.choreography, it is really fun and I hope that comes out and they're
:07:57. > :08:01.entertained about it. I can't wait to see the cape and
:08:01. > :08:11.the mask. Please give it up for Holly and Artem.
:08:11. > :08:13.
:08:13. > :08:15.CHEERING AND APPLAUSE Now we do like to hear your
:08:15. > :08:18.comments on this show and it is time to check the It Takes Two
:08:18. > :08:21.answer phone for more Points of You. I've just watched Monday's show and
:08:21. > :08:29.I disagree with Craig's comments about Robbie's dance. He was
:08:29. > :08:35.dancing to the Full Fonty so his costume was justified.
:08:35. > :08:38.I thought today's show was amazing. I loved it. Alex and James, you are
:08:38. > :08:43.my favourite I hope next week it will be even better. Thank you,
:08:43. > :08:47.bye-bye. Please, please, do your best to
:08:47. > :08:52.encourage Miranda to do next year. She will be great. And she will be
:08:53. > :09:02.good at it too. Bye. Theresa May for your messages
:09:02. > :09:12.especially little Molly. On Monday, we launched our exciting Pro Dance
:09:12. > :09:20.Challenge. Here to to find out how she did, our next contender, Erin
:09:20. > :09:23.Boag. APPLAUSE
:09:23. > :09:33.Welcome back to the show, Erin. We have missed you. You are known as a
:09:33. > :09:37.
:09:37. > :09:43.ballroom girl. How difficult is it to do to boag-a-fogos at speed?
:09:43. > :09:47.really. We should have done who could do
:09:47. > :09:51.the most amount of spins in 30 seconds because it would be good
:09:51. > :09:55.when you showed the after shots. Are you saying you don't like this
:09:55. > :10:00.section of the show? It was all right. Do you think this is because
:10:00. > :10:07.she knows how she has done? I don't know how I've done.
:10:07. > :10:11.Let's see how youer you Erin Boag got on.
:10:11. > :10:19.The dancers gunning for this because we have the world record at
:10:19. > :10:23.stake. The most botofogos in 30 seconds.
:10:24. > :10:29.I will be joined by Richard, who is leading choreographer to the stars.
:10:29. > :10:39.We also have the official world record adjudicator with us and we
:10:39. > :10:41.
:10:41. > :10:47.It would be fabulous to hold the Guinness Book Of Records for the
:10:47. > :10:52.most. Only time will tell. Account next contender -- can the next
:10:52. > :10:58.contender come to the floor? Hello Erin. How are you feeling about
:10:58. > :11:01.this OK? I'm feeling OK. A little excited.
:11:01. > :11:10.You're going to take to that floor like nobody's business.
:11:10. > :11:20.Dancer ready? Yes. Adjudicator ready? Yes.
:11:20. > :11:53.
:11:53. > :11:59.For the record, three, two, one one Well done, Erin. How did that feel?
:11:59. > :12:05.Good. Richard, any discrepe
:12:05. > :12:10.discrepancies? There could have been one illegal botafogo in there.
:12:10. > :12:20.I don't think I took a breath for 30 seconds. It went all right, I
:12:20. > :12:22.think! APPLAUSE
:12:22. > :12:23.I'm excited at the fact that Erin Boag may have done something
:12:23. > :12:27.illegal. I know.
:12:27. > :12:29.How do you think you did? I looked a little slow. Maybe I did about 50,
:12:30. > :12:34.I'm guessing. That's your guess. Shall we find
:12:34. > :12:44.out? OK. Your moves have been counted and verified, Erin, it is
:12:44. > :13:08.
:13:09. > :13:10.I can now confirm Erin Boag that you scored... 51le.
:13:10. > :13:14.APPLAUSE Not bad at all, you said that you
:13:14. > :13:20.would get 50, but you got 51. We can see that you are in third place.
:13:21. > :13:24.Are you gutted slightly? Not really. Who do you think in a challenge
:13:24. > :13:29.like this will be the most competitive? Who do you think will
:13:29. > :13:35.be the best? James Jordan is pretty competitive.
:13:35. > :13:40.Maybe Artem. Right, OK. What about the speed of the legs
:13:40. > :13:44.though? The shorter you are, the better it is. Closer to the ground.
:13:44. > :13:49.So maybe Vincent. But one of the boys.
:13:49. > :13:56.You have probably not won! Thank you very much anyway, Erin
:13:56. > :14:00.Boag. Thank you, Erin. Tomorrow we will
:14:01. > :14:10.find out how Ola got on. Back to this week's training for
:14:11. > :14:14.
:14:14. > :14:18.Movie Week, please welcome my Hello grgous!
:14:18. > :14:21.-- hello gorgeous. Hello and welcome.
:14:21. > :14:25.Looking dashing as ever. We're matching.
:14:25. > :14:29.We are matching. Good feet, naughty feet.
:14:29. > :14:34.On Monday Craig Craig said the judges gr now on -- from now on,
:14:34. > :14:39.the judges are going to be pbgy. How much does people need to get it
:14:39. > :14:42.right? First of all, they can't have any major mistakes because if
:14:42. > :14:45.they have one mistake that will be a point dropped because if
:14:45. > :14:51.everybody can see it then the judges can see it. Other than that,
:14:51. > :14:55.they've just got to produce a fantastic spectacle and a dance
:14:55. > :15:00.which is technically good, I think. Which quite a few of them did at
:15:00. > :15:05.the weekend so it can only get better. Let's look at our friends
:15:05. > :15:08.in training. We will start with Robbie and Ola. He survived the
:15:08. > :15:12.samba and he is back in hold. How is his quickstep looking? Yeah,
:15:12. > :15:16.well, he does a solo piece at the beginning which looks mechanical I
:15:17. > :15:21.have to say. That's not good. Once he is into quickstep, his
:15:21. > :15:27.movement is good across the floor. The rise and fall was a little bit
:15:27. > :15:30.too abrupt for me, I would like it to have more finesse. That looks
:15:30. > :15:34.good. And then what I want to point out,
:15:34. > :15:38.when he does this rotation, I have when he does this rotation, I have
:15:38. > :15:42.stopped him there because, I want you to see Look at his elbow here.
:15:42. > :15:46.Oh dear. It is dropped and I would like to see it lifted so it creates
:15:46. > :15:52.a line from one elbow to the other. The reason why I say that is
:15:52. > :16:00.because I've had lots of smaller partners in the past.
:16:00. > :16:03.On the dance floor. LAUGHTER
:16:03. > :16:05.We keep the elbows at the same height and then you drop the hand
:16:05. > :16:09.slightly. That's the secret. If your lady is shorter, you drop
:16:09. > :16:13.the hand. But we tend to drop the hand rather
:16:13. > :16:18.than the elbow and at the moment he is doing that for Ola and she is a
:16:18. > :16:22.little bit smaller than him, but if he does that, it will be very good.
:16:22. > :16:27.He has plenty of time to improve on that. Alex and James, James was
:16:27. > :16:31.somewhat miffed about Craig's six on Saturday for their Charleston,
:16:31. > :16:34.how are they going to get along with the American smooth? It will
:16:34. > :16:41.be a good dance for them. They have been doing well in their ballroom
:16:41. > :16:46.dances. Here we see them dancing pivots and every time they pivot, I
:16:46. > :16:51.think Alex would benefit from dancing her her left side forward
:16:51. > :16:55.around James and it would help the rotation. Here I've slowed it down.
:16:55. > :16:59.Look at that lift. I like it. It is an unusual lift.
:16:59. > :17:04.Does it have a name? Not really, I would say the twisted starfish.
:17:04. > :17:08.If you can say say it! She looks like a twisted starfish and it is
:17:08. > :17:11.unusual and actually I quite like OK, that's good.
:17:11. > :17:15.It is nice. Chelsee and Pasha, they were second
:17:15. > :17:19.on the leaderboard last weekend. Chelsee seems to be getting better
:17:19. > :17:23.and better and better. She is She is doing the jive. I can't help but
:17:23. > :17:33.think she is going to be good at this? It will be a great dance for
:17:33. > :17:37.her. It is looking tickety boo. Not really matching Pasha there yet.
:17:37. > :17:42.How can you match that? There is more punch from his kicks and
:17:42. > :17:48.flicks and there is a lot more strength. Later on, we're going to
:17:48. > :17:55.see turns as well that she does and she is going into chassy.
:17:55. > :17:58.She is wearing shoes. I am I'm pleased. She is going to
:17:58. > :18:00.do a double turn and she is struggling to get under that turn
:18:00. > :18:04.quick enough. What I would say with the turns,
:18:04. > :18:09.when she she turns, she needs to let go so she doesn't want to
:18:09. > :18:17.control it or doesn't want to turn and control it. She needs to go.
:18:17. > :18:21.Look at that! And not wobble at the end.
:18:21. > :18:31.rehearsal, I didn't wobble. And with the kicks, they need to be
:18:31. > :18:34.stamped very strongly. Good. It is toes down, yeah? Yes.
:18:34. > :18:43.Toes towards the floor. Think about that.
:18:43. > :18:48.That's not good. Pointing down. I wonder if she has seen Shrek yet?
:18:48. > :18:52.Harry and Aliona, you said that his sway was close to a professional.
:18:52. > :18:57.Look at the scores he got, it was incredible, wasn't it? Fabulous.
:18:57. > :19:01.He is doing the rumba this week. No male celebrities have ever got ten
:19:01. > :19:06.in the rumba, ever? Never in the history of Strictly Come Dancing
:19:06. > :19:10.has a male celebrity got a ten. So... Colin Jackson got nines, but
:19:10. > :19:15.no one got a ten. Harry is looking great here. He is
:19:15. > :19:19.doing a lot of the choreography here is basically him leading the
:19:19. > :19:23.lady around him. Which is what they have to do in the rumba, isn't it?
:19:23. > :19:28.In the rumba there is less steps for the man, but I think if he is
:19:28. > :19:34.looking for tens the only way he is going to get tens if there is
:19:34. > :19:40.content of rumba. That means rumba walks.
:19:40. > :19:46.straightens his legs as well. That's the rum basmt so he has --
:19:46. > :19:51.rumba. It is not just hips, it is body as well, Zoe. He He can't just
:19:51. > :19:55.have a hip action, you know. What I want to emphasise here is the
:19:56. > :19:59.wonderful usage of line here and through the body, he is producing
:19:59. > :20:02.good lines in all of his leading steps which are great.
:20:02. > :20:06.Promising. Holly and Artem. They were here
:20:06. > :20:10.earlier. They are doing the paso doble, they need to stay in the
:20:10. > :20:14.competition. They have been bottom two twice, so they will be fighting
:20:14. > :20:18.or it on Saturday. How Is it looking in the training room?
:20:18. > :20:24.surprised if they are in the bottom to this week. Because it is a great
:20:24. > :20:32.piece of music. They have a great dance. Artem is use -- has used
:20:32. > :20:34.Holly's height and length and he is doing a lot of flamenco and as you
:20:34. > :20:41.can see, there is a lot of usage of skirt.
:20:41. > :20:45.That's like the cape. The flamenco dancers use their capes. If I play
:20:45. > :20:51.it more, she is doing the heels. It could be good.
:20:51. > :20:55.The stamping and the swish of the skirt. It is going to be tan tastic.
:20:55. > :20:59.-- fantastic. Jason and Kristina, they are doing
:20:59. > :21:02.the American smooth. How is it going to be? A great dance. They do
:21:02. > :21:06.a fantastic lift at the beginning of this. They are doing a
:21:06. > :21:09.combination of four different lines in this lift. It is fantastic.
:21:09. > :21:14.Let's just show you. We have got one. Wow.
:21:14. > :21:18.Two, three, four and then they are into this spin.
:21:18. > :21:21.Beautiful. Beautiful. Come on, Donny.
:21:21. > :21:28.It is not easy. Thank you very much. See you next
:21:28. > :21:32.week. Who's looking at you kid? Jason and Kristina piled on the
:21:32. > :21:37.slapstick on Saturday night. I will be chat to go them live over --
:21:37. > :21:40.chatting to them live after this reminder of their Charles ston.
:21:40. > :21:45.I loved the energy, I loved the routine.
:21:45. > :21:48.You kept it good, the professional expressions, nobody can eye kuse
:21:48. > :21:55.you of use -- accuse you of using botox.
:21:55. > :22:05.I was willing it to be perfect, but disastrous kick section. But that I
:22:05. > :22:05.
:22:05. > :22:11.have to say was a Charleston. Yeah!
:22:11. > :22:15.# I am the one and only # this has given me more renewed
:22:15. > :22:25.confidence. There was a couple of rough edges, but I'm really happy
:22:25. > :22:26.
:22:26. > :22:28.Please welcome, Jason and Kristina. CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
:22:28. > :22:35.Hello guys. Welcome back to the show. Well done on Saturday night.
:22:35. > :22:39.Thank you. Debbie online said, "Disastrous
:22:39. > :22:44.kick section, I must have blinked and missed it.". I don't think the
:22:44. > :22:49.cameras caught it. I think it was in a mid-shot. It was there.
:22:49. > :22:55.There was there. How much went wrong? It was a split
:22:55. > :23:00.second actually. It wasn't even a mistake. We got out of sync a
:23:00. > :23:07.mistake. We got out of sync a little bit.
:23:07. > :23:11.So we couldn't see? Craig did say, "Maybe they were
:23:11. > :23:16.doing kicks side by side." Are you going to keep them out or challenge
:23:16. > :23:19.going to keep them out or challenge Jason? Jason was doing them amazing
:23:19. > :23:24.all the way through the week and the same with the jive. Anything
:23:24. > :23:28.can happen in a live show and you know what, he has taken chances, he
:23:28. > :23:32.is doing complicated choreography which you can only commend him for
:23:32. > :23:37.and there are dances which are suitable for side by side sections
:23:37. > :23:43.like jive and the Charleston and that's what he did, I must say I
:23:43. > :23:47.feel the judges looking at Jason through a microscope lens, but you
:23:47. > :23:53.know what he works as hard as everyone else and it doesn't come
:23:53. > :23:55.easy to him and others do mistakes, but it seems like they get away
:23:55. > :24:03.with it. Get away with it. There will be
:24:03. > :24:07.letters, you say it Kristina. You are now the oldest competitor?
:24:07. > :24:14.I am, Zoe. You are 43.
:24:14. > :24:16.I'm hoping when I go up to Tessa's area people leave the seats so I
:24:17. > :24:22.can sit down. I will be out of breath.
:24:22. > :24:32.Despite your relatively young years, you are quite a deep thinker.
:24:32. > :24:38.
:24:38. > :24:42.With an interesting outlook on I'm not sure I understand.
:24:42. > :24:52.I might be wrong, I don't know. I don't know what I'm doing.
:24:52. > :25:00.
:25:00. > :25:07.It is about the journey and not necessarily about the destination.
:25:07. > :25:13.Fail to prepare, prepare to fail. Mistakes are good things. Oh yes?
:25:14. > :25:17.Sometimes perfection can be a little mundane. It makes no sense.
:25:17. > :25:22.Sometimes things that you think are going to go wrong go perfectly
:25:22. > :25:24.right. Does that make sense? Yes. It is not over, until it is over.
:25:25. > :25:32.Look at how much I have learned. Awesome.
:25:32. > :25:37.Bring on the tools, let's make this work. Dusz Does that make sense.
:25:37. > :25:43.Sometimes when you jump, you fly. APPLAUSE
:25:43. > :25:48.That was so nice. That is made to a T, I join these
:25:48. > :25:53.para phrases together in my life and hope for the best.
:25:53. > :25:55.You are doing the American smooth this week. How is it going? It is
:25:55. > :25:59.going well. It is a wonderful song. So
:25:59. > :26:04.beautiful. Yes, let's hear your music.
:26:04. > :26:14.# I'm singing in the rain # Just singing in the rain
:26:14. > :26:14.
:26:14. > :26:20.# What a glorious feeling... # It is so iconic and we're not
:26:20. > :26:26.trying to match Gene Kelly and Kristina's choreography is
:26:26. > :26:33.excellent and I just hope that on the night with the umbrella and the
:26:33. > :26:41.top hat, a bit of the rain, you know... Will there be a man with a
:26:41. > :26:44.bucket? We will ask for it. Are you superstitious about opening
:26:44. > :26:49.umbrellas idoors? Not at all. We have made the decision that it is
:26:49. > :26:54.going to be too complicated to put the umbrella back into hold and
:26:54. > :27:00.Velcro it up and think of the 550 steps that I have got to do, so we
:27:00. > :27:08.have decided keep it closed. And no chance TV taking off.
:27:08. > :27:13.At the end it might open up. We might turn into Mary Poppins.
:27:13. > :27:21.Genius, could we ask for more? Bruno said he loves the facial
:27:21. > :27:25.expressions. Will you be channelling Gene Kelly? The idea is
:27:25. > :27:31.to have fun and the relationship between myself and Kristina and
:27:31. > :27:35.that sort of care free type of singing in the rain. I think it is
:27:35. > :27:40.going to be fun actually. Will there be a lamp post? We have
:27:40. > :27:44.a lamp post. Don't tell them everything!
:27:44. > :27:53.Just forget everything we have said. Kristina, at this point, this is
:27:53. > :27:54.the furthest you have got in the competition? Yes, so now...
:27:54. > :27:58.APPLAUSE It deserves an applause.
:27:58. > :28:02.pressure is on. Yeah, the pressure is on.
:28:03. > :28:05.How much do you want to get Jason to the final? It is a wonderful
:28:05. > :28:11.opportunity. I will get all emotional.
:28:11. > :28:14.Please get emotional. It has been the most rewarding
:28:14. > :28:18.season for me. . Get the tissues.
:28:18. > :28:23.I do hope we make it because I'm enjoying it so mump.
:28:23. > :28:25.-- much. That's it. We're all welling up now.
:28:25. > :28:28.You'll get me going. Are you looking forward to
:28:28. > :28:33.Saturday? Saturday is going to be a challenge like all the weeks have
:28:33. > :28:38.have been, but we have got a great story and a great character and
:28:38. > :28:44.that's what I really get my teeth around. When I can see a journey
:28:44. > :28:48.within the number then fantastic. Go with it.
:28:48. > :28:52.Thank you. That's all for today. Thank you to
