00:00 - I loved it. - You did.
00:02 - Tiger eyes. - Yeah.
00:04 And Vito, it was the only couple's choice of the night.
00:08 Do you feel that that was a bit risky to take in the semi-final?
00:11 Because everybody else did very, very traditional dances.
00:14 Yes, it was risky, but I think our journey...
00:17 - We always took the risk. - Always takes risks.
00:19 Every single week, I said, "Let's risk."
00:21 We always have two ways.
00:24 We go on the short or we go on the risk one.
00:27 - Always go on the risk. - Let's go on the challenging.
00:29 It's more interesting. It's like a roller coaster.
00:31 If you don't take the risk, you never know.
00:34 And also, I think when you take the risk, the reward is much better
00:37 - when it goes well, doesn't it? - Yeah, of course.
00:40 So, speaking of, we're going to go into the final now
00:42 because you've got three dances coming up in the final
00:45 and you've chosen as your favourite dance your week seven American Smooth.
00:49 I'm so happy you picked this one because it was one of my favourites.
00:53 But why was this dance so special for the two of you?
00:57 This was at the middle of the journey
01:00 and it was very important because we were able to put it all together.
01:03 It was about our first period of the lift.
01:05 It was a combination of the smoothness, the style, the footwork,
01:09 the technical quality skills.
