00:00I
00:02Can't believe I've made it this far. We're halfway. I can't wait to dance
00:07Just in chill mode at the moment. This has to be sewn on my head
00:15It's almost time
00:17You're giving me a good feeling
00:20Sparkly arms only on strictly
00:27I feel like I'm lit
00:30Week seven in the ballroom
00:34Absolutely brilliant
00:36That's some of the best book work I've ever seen in a Viennese one
00:42This was the dance of the night
00:51During the first bit he was doing
00:57Absolutely incredible
00:59Everyone get in
01:03I know that your mom is watching and she's so proud of you so great show so far everyone. Let's keep it going
01:10I'm getting a good speed
01:12I'm giving me a good speed
01:14Everybody just knocked it out of the park
01:16The standard is insane
01:18That is gonna be an unbelievably hard dance off
01:20It doesn't matter where you are on the leaderboard
01:22I personally believe nobody is safe
01:24Results show it's out of our hands
01:26Let's go
01:30Results in 3..2..1..
01:32three, two, one.
01:34Welcome to Strictly Come Dancing, the results on Saturday night.
02:04The dancing was immense.
02:06We had our tightest week seven leaderboard ever.
02:10With only nine celebrities left in the competition,
02:13the race to the Glitterball is heating up.
02:16Nobody wants to go home.
02:18Tonight, two more couples will battle it out in the dance-off,
02:21but who that will be is down to your votes.
02:24Before we find out who is safe,
02:26let's see what the judges thought of an amazing night in the ballroom.
02:30APPLAUSE
02:31It was absolutely fantastic tonight.
02:41We went from ballroom, darling, to Bollywood.
02:44I loved every minute.
02:46There were a lot of tens fellow judges.
02:48I gave one out. How many did you get?
02:50I think I gave three.
02:51Ten!
02:52Ten!
02:52One!
02:53Ten!
02:55This standard is extraordinary.
02:58Top of the leaderboard is Vicky, followed by Amber.
03:05Amber and Nikita, I totally love that.
03:07I mean, that dance was extremely difficult.
03:09Those lifts were not easy and they're extremely dangerous.
03:14Ten!
03:15That was my favourite performance I've ever done on Strictly Come Dancing.
03:20But the tango from Vicky, just immaculate.
03:24I never actually thought I'd ever get tense.
03:27Ten!
03:29And tonight I did it.
03:30She should be feeling really good after that, Charles.
03:33I think so. I'm sorry. I'm just so happy.
03:35Anyone in this with you.
03:38Middle of the leaderboard is Louis, Karen, Belvinda and George.
03:44Karen and Carlos was the highest-scoring Charleston of the series.
03:49I actually felt that Carlos had to keep up with Karen.
03:52She was going.
03:53Boom, boom, boom!
03:54It's a battle between football and a dancer and she won.
03:57This woman, I mean, watch out.
04:00Louis' cha-cha-cha, an excellent, excellent dance.
04:04Incredible.
04:04This man can cha-cha.
04:06And I love George and Alexis.
04:08Fantastic footwork.
04:09I thought they did a great blend of open and closed work.
04:12You were fantastic, the way you went right round the full dance floor.
04:15Thank you very much.
04:18I love Belvinda's couple's choice.
04:20It was so authentic.
04:21It was beautiful.
04:22She's so expressive when she dances.
04:25I am feeling on top of the world.
04:29And the other end of the leaderboard is Alex, Harry and Lavoie.
04:32I felt with Alex and Johannes, technically very, very strong, but underperformed when it came to passion and love and really enjoying the moment.
04:43Lavoie, I love her personality, but she really has to step up her game when it comes to dance content.
04:53What more do they need from me?
04:55I think the answer is technique and dancing.
04:57I think it's something I've just realised is quite a big part of this competition.
05:00I thought Harry, for him, the dance is still quite strong, but the level just has improved around him.
05:07Everybody just upped their game.
05:09In one hand, I'm absolutely elated, I'm buzzing, but the scores would say otherwise, I'm quite far down the leaderboard.
05:14I have never seen a competition that's so close.
05:18It's getting more difficult to have the deciding vote.
05:21It's going to be a tough decision.
05:23Nobody is safe.
05:25The resort show, it never sits well with me and I never look forward to it, if I'm honest.
05:34It's getting harder and harder each week. Everyone is up in their game.
05:38I don't know what my life would be like now without dancing.
05:40I'd like to hope I've done enough to stay.
05:43I always prepare for the worst.
05:46It is all about the public vote.
05:49Now more than ever, the competition feels very tight.
05:52Being the other top of the leaderboard doesn't necessarily mean yes-y-if.
05:57I feel super nervous. Right now, it's out of my hands.
06:01Obviously, where I am on the leaderboard would indicate that I should be nervous, and I am.
06:05It's anybody's game.
06:06Nobody's safe with these results.
06:22At the halfway point of the series, the competition really couldn't be closer.
06:30But who have you decided deserves another week in the ballroom?
06:33Let's find out.
06:34The results are in.
06:36In no particular order, the first couple safely through to next week is...
06:45Amber and Nikita!
06:50Thank you!
06:52Thank you!
06:54Thank you!
06:55Thank you so much!
06:56Thank you!
06:57We're out!
06:58Thank you!
06:59Thank you!
06:59Balvinda and Jillian!
07:13Yes!
07:14Thank you!
07:15Thank you!
07:16Thank you!
07:23Dancing again next weekend will be...
07:27Vicky and Kai.
07:33Yes!
07:39Good job.
07:43Also continuing in Strictly are...
07:53George and Alexis.
07:54APPLAUSE
07:57Thank you so much.
07:59APPLAUSE
08:04And the final couple safe for now is...
08:17Karen and Carlisle.
08:19CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
08:21Thank you. Thank you very much.
08:23Congratulations to our five safe couples.
08:29For the rest of you, your place in Strictly is still at risk.
08:32Let's talk to the judges.
08:38Mopsy, as we said, it is the closest leaderboard
08:41we have ever had in week seven,
08:43which means this could be a really challenging decision
08:46for the judge with the casting vote.
08:48That is you this week.
08:50How are you feeling?
08:51Well, I mean, it's going to be close this year
08:54because all the couples are so good
08:56and the standard is high.
08:58For me, in first place is always the dancing.
09:00The dancing counts.
09:02I have a responsibility here for the couples,
09:05for us the judges.
09:06So I take this very seriously.
09:08And the dance-off is the only moment I will take my decisions.
09:12That is what counts.
09:14APPLAUSE
09:16Claude, is it our first safe couples?
09:19I have five very happy couples with me.
09:23You are all past the halfway point.
09:26Congratulations, Valvinda.
09:29How special was Saturday night for you?
09:31Saturday night was incredible.
09:34It was a lovely moment for me
09:36to be able to represent my community and culture
09:39and to just let everybody else in to see what we're about.
09:43The Punjabi Dolby is our heartbeat
09:46and it was so lovely to do that.
09:47And also for Jules, like, this guy's amazing.
09:50His, like, enthusiasm and just joy for the whole dance
09:55just made it so much more special.
09:57How does it feel to you, Jules,
09:59to be saved by the public?
10:01Oh, amazing.
10:02Just to everyone out there,
10:03thank you so much for the support.
10:04Thank you for voting.
10:05I'm just so glad that our journey gets to continue.
10:08It was the most special moment
10:10and, yeah, I actually can't put it into words.
10:13It was just complete elation and joy
10:16and, yeah, I just love you and it was so much fun.
10:19And I'm so glad we did.
10:20It was beautiful to watch.
10:22Valvinda, you have got...
10:24We all have, like, just great girlfriends
10:26but yours have gone above and beyond.
10:28Can we have a conversation about Kim?
10:30Yeah, Kim came all the way from Leeds to see me.
10:32She just came to give me a hug
10:34because she said,
10:35I know that it's been a hard week
10:37and I know that you're feeling a little bit out of sorts
10:39and I'm here for you.
10:40And she literally just came down for 45 minutes.
10:43Oh, you're welcome.
10:44Shout out to Kim.
10:45Kim, that's good.
10:47Thank you, Kim.
10:48Um, Kaz, can we talk about your research
10:51for the Charleston for a moment?
10:52Yeah, I was told to do some research
10:54so I thought I'd be really good
10:56so I looked at Linda Hopp.
10:57So I came in to Carlos
10:59and I said, Carlos, it's Linda Hopp.
11:02Who is she?
11:03I can't find her anywhere.
11:04It's Lindy Hopp.
11:05It's Lindy Hopp.
11:06That was the best moment of my day.
11:08So, yeah.
11:09It's magnificent.
11:10Linda Hopp.
11:11There's somewhere Linda Hopp going,
11:12she keeps Googling me.
11:13I'm just learning about my business.
11:14I'm just learning about my business.
11:15Carlos, tell us.
11:17What is the dance next week?
11:19What is the plan?
11:20It's American smooth.
11:21It's big.
11:22It's whimsy.
11:23It's dramatic.
11:24It's imaginary.
11:25It's everything.
11:26It's strictly about.
11:27Wow.
11:29Yeah, absolutely.
11:30Good job.
11:31I'm giving that a ten.
11:33I don't even know what just happened.
11:34I love you.
11:35I love you, Mum.
11:36George, talk to me
11:38because I believe you're going through
11:39a bit of a crisis regarding your hair.
11:41Yeah, no, I moved house in week three.
11:43Oh.
11:44That's stressful.
11:45Yeah, now my barber is like an hour away.
11:47So, I don't really want to test anyone out
11:49whilst on national TV
11:51because that could go really sideways.
11:52Can I do it?
11:53Who wants to have a go?
11:55I am sure.
11:56I think I do.
11:57Could we?
11:58Do you remember when I said I don't want to test anyone out?
11:59Oh, no, but we would do it with love.
12:02Of course, actually, it would be fantastic for you.
12:04You see?
12:05Oh, come on!
12:06Alexis, I believe George has introduced you
12:08to the snacks of the UK.
12:09Tell me more.
12:10Yes, I have been introduced to the wonders
12:12that is a corner shop.
12:13Nice man.
12:14I love salt and vinegar flavours,
12:15and there's so many salt and vinegar flavour options here,
12:16and so I've just had my pick of the...
12:17What did it take?
12:18This is excellent.
12:19Yes.
12:20Tell me, because I know it means a lot to you,
12:21tell me the song you're dancing to next week.
12:22Well, at the start of the series,
12:23you sort of get told, like, what's your sort of...
12:24Have you got like a playlist that you listen to?
12:25What sort of music do you like?
12:26The only song that I said was somewhere only we know.
12:27Yeah.
12:28Because my sister sang that at my grandad's funeral.
12:29Aww.
12:30Aww.
12:31And I know it means a lot to my family,
12:32and we've had various troubles throughout the years,
12:33so I wanted to sort of have something that would be a nice thing
12:35to sort of give to them.
12:36Yeah, we'll resonate with them.
12:37We cannot wait to see the dance.
12:38Thank you so much.
12:39Thank you so much.
12:40Vicki, you're welcome!
12:46Vicki, I know how much you want to make it to Blackpool.
12:49That is coming up after next week.
12:50Are you even letting yourself dream about it?
12:52That's true.
12:53Thank you so much.
12:54Thank you so much.
12:55What do you want?
12:56To be honest, I've found a connection to them.
12:58I'm so happy.
13:00I'm so happy with you.
13:03I've had a conversation,
13:04and I've had to have fun.
13:05So I just want to make it up next week.
13:07letting yourself dream about it.
13:10So, Kai, as I say, what's it about the rabbits?
13:13A man who chases two rabbits never catches either of them,
13:17which means if we don't look too far ahead,
13:19we'll focus on each week.
13:20So, I'm only trying to catch one rabbit at the minute.
13:23I understood, and that is next week.
13:25But I will just say, my grandma and grandad
13:28used to dance at Blackpool, and they're, like, no longer with work,
13:31but it would mean a lot to me to be there
13:35and dance in the same place they did
13:37and sort of do them proud in that way.
13:38So, even though I am firmly focused on the first rabbit,
13:41I am sort of thinking about the second one.
13:43I understood.
13:44You can just see the tail of the second rabbit.
13:48Kai, you really wanted to crack the final judge, Craig,
13:53and you did on Saturday night. How did it feel?
13:55Oh, it felt good.
13:56I never thought I'd hear Craig say perfect and be talking about us,
13:59but this one just pulled it out of the bag,
14:00and I said to her before we went on, I said,
14:02this is your floor, go and rip it up, and I think she did just that.
14:04So, you did great.
14:06That is a brilliant thing to say.
14:08Congratulations again.
14:11Amber, you've said that this whole situation,
14:14this whole show, it's a bit like being a yo-yo.
14:17It's, like, emotionally,
14:18the start of the week is so different to the end of the week.
14:22You know, you get given your choreography and you think,
14:24no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no,
14:25this isn't going to be ready by Saturday night,
14:27and then, you know, you start going up and down,
14:30like a yo-yo emotionally.
14:32But, yeah, it's, like, it's so enjoyable.
14:34And then you all look after each other.
14:36You've said that as well, George, I've loved it.
14:38You said the best thing is being able to watch each other.
14:40And everybody, everybody goes through the same thing, you know,
14:44so we're all doing this together.
14:47Absolutely.
14:48Nikita, you have got the Song of Songs next week.
14:51Flicia.
14:51Yes, I do, Claude,
14:53and we have the dance of dancers as well,
14:56and we are dancing the Paso Doble to...
15:00Dream On!
15:02Dream On!
15:03Dream on!
15:05Dream on!
15:06Dream on till your dream comes to know
15:09Dream on till your dream comes to know
15:11Dream on!
15:12So good!
15:14Dream on!
15:15Dream on!
15:16Thank you very much for that, Nikita.
15:19Congratulations, you're all through!
15:21Now, this year's Children in Need is on BBC One
15:27on Friday, November the 14th, at seven.
15:30We had the privilege of meeting Christopher,
15:33a Strictly fan who told us just what your donations
15:36have meant to him and his family.
15:44My name is Christopher and I'm 16 years old.
15:46I was wishing Patsy was going to speak to us today,
15:49but he couldn't make it to the BBC Studios in L Street.
15:53Christopher was diagnosed with autism
15:56when he was three years old.
15:58Tricky times then.
16:00He wouldn't play with people, he played alongside people.
16:03He couldn't handle the interaction.
16:07When I heard about This Is Us,
16:08I couldn't believe my luck.
16:11This Is Us Dance Company is a big piece of fresh air.
16:15It's about being yourself, really.
16:17To see people like Christopher thrive
16:20through movement and creativity
16:22means the absolute world.
16:23We do what we do because we see that it can make a difference.
16:27Without the funding from Children in Need,
16:29we wouldn't be able to open as many doors to new families.
16:33It's much more than just learning some dances.
16:35For him, it's given him an enormous amount of confidence.
16:39You're also a massive Strictly fan, aren't you?
16:43Yeah, I know.
16:45If I would describe one word, I think it would be fantastic.
16:49He's just completely engrossed in Strictly.
16:53If I would have to pick a favourite judge,
16:55it would be Anton Debecq.
16:57He's hilarious.
16:58My favourite dancer is Nikita.
17:01How are you doing, my lovely?
17:05Hi, Nikita.
17:06How are you, mate?
17:06Hello, mate.
17:07Nikita, hello.
17:08Hi.
17:10Good to see you.
17:10Can I tell you a big surprise that I have for you?
17:13What?
17:14You're going to visit Strictly with Anton.
17:18Oh, that's exciting.
17:19Thank you so much.
17:20Yes, yes.
17:20I'm on my way up.
17:23I'm on my way up.
17:24Oh, how are you?
17:28How are you, mate?
17:28I look younger in real life.
17:30You guys, you do look a bit younger in real life.
17:31Thank you very much.
17:32This is the hair and makeup department.
17:36You're dancing with George and you've done the dance
17:38from Keep Up Demon Hunters.
17:39It was a soda part.
17:40Are you enjoying it?
17:41Oh, I love it.
17:42What are you liking about it?
17:43I'm so pumped.
17:44I love how it's all busy around here.
17:45Ooh.
17:47Oh, it's Vito.
17:49We can't thank This Is Us and children in need enough,
17:52really, for helping Christopher get to where he is.
17:56This is a great room.
17:57I'm going to put this on.
17:58Oh, Chris!
18:02Why don't we do...
18:03What about on top of?
18:04That.
18:06Now, Christopher is the most outgoing,
18:10most sociable person you could possibly meet.
18:13He's a party animal, isn't he?
18:16It's good, isn't it?
18:16It's good size.
18:18Love it.
18:18Dancing, it makes us feel stronger, smarter, happy,
18:22and makes us feel beloved about ourselves.
18:25We're so proud of him, and just can't...
18:28Oh, I'm well either of her.
18:32To see Christopher be able to come here and interact with everyone is really special.
18:39Keep dancing!
18:46Christopher, thank you so much for coming, and we'll be giving you all the details about how to enter a very special children in need prize draw at the end of the show.
18:57Now, for people who love talking about dancing, nearly as much as I love listening to people talk about dancing, please welcome the judges!
19:06Don't do it, baby!
19:08Oh.
19:08Oh.
19:09I'm really not going to do the same trick, baby, oh-oh.
19:13My sweet little ones is so amazing, amazing!
19:16Ah, ah, ah, ah, no!
19:18Hi, this one!
19:19Come on.
19:22Thank you so much for coming.
19:23Craig, I'm going to start with you.
19:25Good.
19:26Because Alex had a tricky Saturday night, and it's true, isn't it,
19:30that not every dance can sue every person.
19:33That's true, and I think what froze her on the Saturday night
19:38was the fact that she was thinking too much about technically what she was doing
19:44and almost forgot to live the experience.
19:49You know, that can stop you, you know, from acting as well,
19:53because you're so terrified about getting the footwork right
19:56and all the shaping right, because it's an odd, odd dance,
19:59and it's very, very difficult.
20:01And I think she did a brilliant job.
20:03I mean, she was clean, she was very, very...
20:06She danced it brilliantly, but we know, as judges,
20:10she could dance it so much better if she had just let her personality go.
20:15But we love her. We think she's amazing.
20:17Yeah, me too. Thank you very, very much.
20:20Shirley, I'd love to talk to you about Val Vinda.
20:22She got her highest score of the competition so far.
20:25You loved it.
20:27Specifically, you mentioned their teamwork. Tell me more.
20:30Well, I was very happy for Val Vinda.
20:32She's been in the bottom two a few times now,
20:34and she came out on Saturday night with Julian,
20:37and her arm movements and her synchronicity and her flow
20:41was absolutely outstanding.
20:44I mean, even I learnt some things off her when I was watching,
20:47and hats off to Julian.
20:49And he got out there and he just partnered like there was no tomorrow.
20:52So I think she was fantastic.
20:56What a night to have.
20:57Absolutely. Agreed. Thank you.
21:00Anton, I need to talk to you about Amber and Nikita.
21:04You love their lifts so much,
21:05you almost recreated one of the...
21:07You can do it now.
21:08I'll tell you what, we can give you the fireman's.
21:10And John will take control, don't worry.
21:12Is this safe? Fast turn if you can.
21:14Now, what happens is, what we'll do, I think for safety purposes...
21:18For safety, I'll move.
21:19What we'll do is...
21:20I'll...
21:21Come over here, darling.
21:22Rather than...
21:23Maybe I'll just...
21:24What are you doing?
21:25I'll put it like that and then you can do it.
21:27Whoa!
21:27Whoa!
21:28Look at the moon.
21:38Beautiful!
21:39Amazing.
21:41Amazing.
21:42You see, I feel so much better now, Anton.
21:46You're made of air.
21:47That was amazing.
21:48But you were particularly impressed with Dave's lifts.
21:51I know.
21:51What was it about her that was so wonderful?
21:54They...
21:55Do you know, we talk about lifts a lot
21:57because we do lifts in a number of the dances.
21:59Yeah.
21:59And we talk about the ins and the outs of the lifts
22:02because the in and the out of the lift is as important
22:06as the bit in the air, really.
22:08But if you can see it come in and go, it's not very interesting.
22:11Those were seamless.
22:13Yeah.
22:13And the one at the end was shot through the arms like that,
22:16finished in a deep, long plie.
22:18Amazing.
22:19Thank you very much.
22:20Oh, pleasure.
22:21Motsi, you said Vicky had the dance of the night.
22:24Yes.
22:25Why was it so perfect for you?
22:26Well, I think for us, it's really important that the dancers,
22:30the celebs, the couples make it easy for us to judge.
22:35Yes.
22:35They need to make clarity in music, performance, all of that.
22:40And she gave us that.
22:41We don't need to think about it.
22:42We're just looking for a performance.
22:44And when we see those mistakes, it's actually not a good feeling for us.
22:49Yes.
22:49So she gave us a perfect dance.
22:51We could actually enjoy it.
22:53Even watching it again, you enjoy it.
22:55And that's always a sign of just being outstanding.
22:58And that's what she was.
22:59Okay.
22:59Thank you so much.
23:01Can we just have a moment for, he's so versatile, he is my husband.
23:07Watch this.
23:08Yeah, baby.
23:14I like it like that.
23:16Can I sing you?
23:18Oh, yeah, baby.
23:24Oh, yeah, baby.
23:26Let's sing your own kind of music, sing your own special song.
23:39So much, ladies and gentlemen.
23:43Let's hear it to the judges.
23:47Soon we will find out which couples must dance again tonight.
23:51All right, but first, in honour of Remembrance Weekend, we have a very special performance.
23:56Please welcome the band of the Royal Air Force Regiment and our professional dancers.
24:01If I was wanting of any more
24:15I'd be as greedy as those men on air
24:22But I remain a fallen one
24:29In the memory of what once was
24:34Chasing a crossing from the way
24:41Our boy's a whip it
24:45He's faster than anything
24:47Remember the pride that we fell
24:54For the two of us made in our sight
24:59You were me
25:03Make my day
25:06I'll tell your stories
25:10I'll kiss your face
25:12And I'll pray
25:15And I'll pray
25:15You'll remember
25:19My name
25:23Oh, 11 Walk Avenue
25:29Something to behold
25:31To them it's a council house
25:35To me it's a home
25:37And a home that you made
25:40And a home that you made
25:41Where the grandkids could play
25:43But it's never the same without you
25:49So human
25:51Make my day
25:55I'll tell your stories
25:58I'll kiss your face
26:01And I'll pray
26:04And I'll pray
26:04You'll remember
26:07My name
26:12And I'll pray
26:16You'll remember
26:20My name
26:24And I'll pray
26:29And I'll pray
26:29You'll remember
26:32My name
26:38And I'll pray
27:08The band
27:10The Royal Air Force Regiment
27:12For that incredible dance
27:13It's time to find out
27:15Who is in tonight's dance-off
27:17Tess
27:18Four couples are still waiting
27:20To hear the results
27:21Of your votes
27:23La Voix and Aliash
27:26Alex and Johannes
27:28Louis and Katya
27:31Harry and Karen
27:33I'm about to announce
27:36Who will go head to head
27:37To keep their place
27:38In Strictly
27:39The very best of luck
27:40To you all
27:41I can now reveal
27:48That the first couple
27:49In tonight's dance-off
27:50Is
27:51Harry and Karen
28:01And the couple
28:07They'll be up against
28:08In the dance-off
28:09Is
28:10La Voix and Aliash
28:19So Alex and Johannes
28:23And Louis and Katya
28:24Congratulations
28:25You are through
28:26La Voix and Aliash
28:28And Harry and Karen
28:29I'm so sorry
28:32Please come and join me
28:34Come on over my darling
28:40So sorry
28:42You guys have found yourself
28:44In the dance-off
28:44First dance-off
28:46For both of you
28:47La Voix, how are you feeling?
28:48Well I might need to get
28:49Some sort of animatronics
28:50In my bra I feel
28:51To match the peck action
28:52That's about to happen
28:53But do you know what
28:55This is a situation
28:57No one wants to be in
28:58And from someone
29:00Who is just born to entertain
29:02This is really quite scary
29:03At this precise moment
29:04I'm just going to do
29:05The best I can
29:06And if it's the best toe turn
29:08You'll ever see
29:08That's what you'll get
29:09How about you Harry?
29:14Um
29:14Look
29:15Any situation like this
29:16Is always scary
29:17Um
29:18This is the way
29:18The show's got to go
29:19But at the end of the day
29:20We're going to
29:20Going to give our role
29:21It's an honour
29:22To actually dance again
29:23So I appreciate
29:24Obviously dancing with Karen
29:25And you know
29:25We've just got to give
29:26What we can give
29:27Okay
29:28Well let's get some advice
29:29From the judges right now
29:31Craig
29:33Neither of these couples
29:35Have faced the dance off before
29:36So how do you think
29:37They should best handle this now
29:39Yeah try not to
29:40I think
29:41Let the nerves
29:42Get the better of you
29:43Think about
29:44Actually
29:45What you need to achieve
29:47You know
29:48I would love
29:49To see
29:50LaVoie do a heel turn
29:51That would be great
29:52If that was
29:53Slipped in there
29:54I would love to see
29:55A softer knee
29:56From Harry for instance
29:57I think you are
29:58Equally matched
29:59And I think
30:01Paul Motsy
30:02Is going to have
30:03A bit of a nightmare
30:05You know
30:06On this
30:06Because
30:07It's going to be
30:08A tough one
30:09For us
30:10Absolutely
30:11Because
30:11All of us judges
30:13Absolutely adore
30:14Both couples
30:15And don't want to see
30:16Either of you go
30:17But unfortunately
30:18It's the way it is
30:20But all the best
30:21Thank you very much
30:23LaVoie and Aliash
30:25Harry and Karen
30:26We are all behind you
30:29And it's not over yet
30:30There's everything to dance for
30:30So best of luck
30:32From all of us
30:32See you later
30:33In the dance off
30:34Thank you
30:34Claudia is upstairs
30:35With our last two
30:36Safe couples
30:37Thank you
30:38Tess
30:39Two very relieved couples
30:41Up with me
30:42Alex
30:43Saturday night
30:43Was a tough one
30:44Yes it was
30:45What do you want to say
30:46To those who voted for you
30:48I just want to say
30:50Thank you so much
30:51From the bottom of my heart
30:52I mean
30:52It was
30:53It was a real challenge
30:55And a massive learning curve
30:56For me
30:57So
30:58Thank you
30:59Thank you
30:59Thank you
31:00Well done
31:01We can't wait to see you dance
31:02Next week
31:03Thank you
31:04You two
31:05You've got a beautiful synergy
31:07You get on brilliantly
31:08You have also discovered for us
31:10Which we didn't know
31:11That Jojo's got quite a big phobia
31:13Yes
31:14You do
31:15He's frightened of English woods
31:18Excuse me
31:19You just don't know
31:23What you're going to meet
31:25In
31:25Oh my god
31:28Like a squirrel
31:30We were in rehearsals
31:32And there was this noise
31:33Coming from the bushes
31:34And Alex said to me
31:35I think you should go out there
31:37And check
31:37I said
31:38It was loud
31:42It sounded almost like a lion
31:44It was a rutting deer
31:48Thank you so much
31:51Another insight is
31:54Jojo
31:54You've got a very particular way
31:56That you would like to warm up
31:58So this week
31:59I changed it up a little bit
32:00And I played her fighting song
32:02That she told me about weeks ago
32:04Yes
32:04And all
32:05There was screaming
32:07There was dancing
32:08Yeah
32:09And she kept on saying
32:10Canal Street Manchester
32:12It's a great place
32:14It is
32:15Just to put us there
32:16Can we have the song please
32:17Oh
32:17Oh
32:18Amazing
32:30We love you
32:31Jojo
32:32Lewis my favourite thing is
32:34You're loving the heels
32:35Aren't you
32:35I actually feel more comfortable
32:37In heels than barefoot
32:38Now
32:39Do you
32:40I do
32:40There's something about them
32:41There's something about me
32:42The Cuban Latins
32:43The Cuban Latins
32:44I like it
32:45You two have been
32:46Quite a big social media trend
32:47Did you know that this week?
32:49Yes
32:49People trying to replicate
32:51That amazing couple's choice
32:53Oh yeah
32:54A lot of kids have been
32:55Like sending in videos
32:57Of them doing
32:57Either the lean
32:58Or the bit of tap dance
32:59As well
33:00Yeah
33:00Should we do the lean?
33:01No
33:02I'm 53
33:03I didn't
33:04I won't even know
33:05What that means
33:05I can't spell lean
33:06Let me ask you this
33:08Katya Lewis
33:09He's been asking you
33:10All week
33:10What?
33:11Begging you
33:12Well
33:12This is it right
33:14Monday hits
33:15New dance
33:17They're like
33:17Oh no
33:18I actually realised
33:19I preferred the dance
33:21Before
33:21Which I didn't like
33:23On Monday before
33:24Do you want to get back
33:28To ballroom
33:29Do you want to tell him
33:29What you're doing next week
33:30We are doing
33:32The tango
33:33Which you will probably
33:36Hate on Monday
33:37That's a different
33:38Pair of shoes
33:39Isn't it
33:39Yeah
33:40It's not a Cuban heel
33:42Unfortunately
33:42I can wear them
33:43In my brakes
33:43Yes
33:44You can
33:45Whatever makes you have
33:46To do

37:13Thank you to James Morrison and our professional dancers,
37:17Neil and Yavita.
37:18The wait is now over.
37:19On Saturday night, Lavoie and Aliash scored 29
37:23and Harry and Karen scored 30.
37:26So this could not be closer.
37:28Performing first with their Foxtrot,
37:30it's Lavoie and Aliash.
37:33APPLAUSE
37:34Nobody can tell ya
37:47There's only one song worth singing
37:51They may try and sell you
37:55Cause it hangs them up
37:57To see someone like you
38:01But you gotta make your own kind of music
38:07Sing your own special song
38:12Make your own kind of music
38:15Even if nobody else sings along
38:19So if you cannot take my hand
38:28And if you must be going
38:34I will understand
38:38You gotta make your own kind of music
38:48Sing your own special song
38:53Make your own kind of music
38:56Even if nobody, even if nobody, even if nobody else sings along

39:21CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
39:22Lavoie and Aliash have done all they can,
39:26performing next with their samba,
39:28It's Harry and Karen.
39:29CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
39:31Everybody gather round now
39:56Let your body feel good
39:58If you want to
40:01Do the samba
40:04You've got to listen to the
40:06Get back to the samba
40:16No choice
40:17There ain't love
40:18It's a little month
40:19Getting stronger
40:20Don't you not teach
40:21Do the samba beat
41:22Another fierce dance-off, but only one of these couples can keep their place.
41:31Judges, it's over to you.
41:33Based on that dance-off alone, I'm about to ask each of you the name of the couple you think deserves to stay and why.
41:43The couple with the most votes will remain in the competition, meaning the other couple will leave Strictly Come Dancing.
41:49In the event of a tie, our judge with a casting vote, and that is you, the sweet Motsy, will have the final say.
41:58Shirley, we'll start with you. Who do you want to send through to next week and why?
42:03Well, both couples were great.
42:06LaVoy, you did the most beautiful heel turn.
42:09And Harry, you did a much better quarter jacca here over in the corner.
42:13You both danced extremely well.
42:15I found this is very, very difficult for me.
42:17But for the degree of clarity of technique, I'm going to say LaVoy and Aliash.
42:27Anton, who do you think deserves to stay in Strictly and why?
42:30Well, if you can have such a thing, this was an excellent dance-off.
42:35Both couples danced better than they did on Saturday night.
42:39We'll have to rename that now back to the heel turn for LaVoy.
42:43And Harry's leg action was much softer and more fluid through his dance as well.
42:50So this is a very difficult decision, and it's a very, very close decision.
42:55But for me, I'd like to save, just because of the musicality of the dance,
43:00over and above everything else, I'd like to save LaVoy and Aliash.
43:08That is two votes, two LaVoy and Aliash.
43:12If Craig now opts to save them, they will be through to next week's show.
43:17Craig, who has secured your vote and why?
43:20Yeah, like the other judges, I found it really difficult to them.
43:25because they were evenly matched.
43:27But I'm going to go for improvement.
43:30And for me, that couple, I would like to say LaVoy and Aliash.
43:36LaVoy and Aliash, congratulations!
43:39We will see you next week.
43:41But that does, of course, mean we are going to have to say goodbye
43:45to Harry and Karen.
43:47Please come and join me.
43:49And Motsi, can I ask, did you agree with your fellow judges?
43:53Yes. I would have saved LaVoy.
43:55Thank you very much.
44:01Harry, our gladiator, you have lit up this ballroom every single week
44:08with your positive energy, and we are going to miss that so much,
44:12all of us, genuinely.
44:14No, I appreciate that.
44:15I think, first things, I just want to thank Karen.
44:17Genuinely, you have given me the opportunity to shine.
44:21You've understood my crazy brain.
44:23I'm such a logical person, trying to dance,
44:25and obviously, you know, doing what I do.
44:27Olympic sprinter, gladiator.
44:29Now, I'm trying to be a dancer.
44:30I just want to thank you so much for the time and effort,
44:33the hard work that you've put into me.
44:34You show up, you turn out.
44:35I want to thank everyone here.
44:36Literally, this has been a dream come true.
44:38We all love you.
44:40No, no, come on.
44:42This is a celebration.
44:43It's a celebration.
44:45I spoke to my daughter, and she didn't like seeing her dad sad.
44:48And she wanted to, when she saw me sad last week,
44:50she was like, Daddy, like, what's wrong?
44:52And this is where it's to show everyone that, look,
44:54no matter what happens, there's always a silver lining.
44:56But this is an experience for me, so thank you for this lovely gift.
44:59And at the end of the day, we carry on.
