MUSIC: She's Always A Woman To Me by Billy Joel
# She can kill with a smile
# She can wound with her eyes
# And she can ruin your faith with her casual lies
# And she only reveals what she wants you to see
# She hides like a child
# But she's always a woman to me
# She can lead you to love
# She can take you or leave you
# She can ask for the truth
# But she'll never believe
# And she'll take what you give her as long as it's free
# Yeah, she steals like a thief
# But she's always a woman to me
# Oh, she takes care of herself
# She can wait if she wants
# She's ahead of her time
# Oh, and she never gives out
# And she never gives in
# She just changes her mind
# Mmm. #

from
from hockey Sam, you are glamorous
on
on the
on the dance floor. I think it was a
timing
timing issue and nerves and that's a
part
part of
part of this competition. You have
to
to repeat, repeat and get everything
for
for that
for that one special moment. Maybe
it

Quickstep
Quickstep is one to eight, in rumba,

# Slip inside the eye of your mind
# Don't you know you might find a better place to play?
# You said that you'd never been
# But all the things that you've seen
# Slowly fade away
# So I start a revolution from my bed
# Cos you said the brains I had went to my head
# Step outside, summertime's in bloom
# Stand up beside the fireplace
# Take that look from off your face
# You ain't ever gonna burn my heart out
# And so, Sally can wait
# She knows it's too late
# As we're walkin' on by
# Her soul slides away
# But don't look back in anger
# Don't look back in anger
# At least not today. #

masculine
masculine approach to the rumba, I
like
like that, with a very feminine
woman
woman on

love
love all
love all the lifts, you should
probably
probably have kept your feet on the
floor,
floor, you did then, you are
excellent
excellent in what you did. Now, I
have
have the
have the beginning here, good foot
action
action and good timing but not a lot
of
of body

over
over there to your sliding door, you
isolated
isolated the upper half of your body
and
and you
and you rolled those hips in the
figure
figure eight. I was mesmerised! I
just
just need
just need a little bit more of that
figure
figure eight everywhere and you
would
would have delighted me. Any time
you
you want,
you want, darling, don't worry!
Actually,
Actually, it was a very, very good
try,
try, lovely basic steps, your
intensity, your partnering skills
but
but that
but that isolation, I'll be thinking
about
about that for a week.
APPLAUSE
She'll
She'll be
She'll be like this for the rest of
the
the shown

really,
really, really good effort, I
thought
thought that was a terrific effort.
Rumba
Rumba is
Rumba is so difficult. We know it's
exposing,

between
between steps, you stand there, you
do
do a
do a step
do a step and go, then another step,
but
but keep
but keep moving everything. I
thought
thought it was a really good effort.
My
My only
My only problem with it really was
you
you danced down to her, here, and
she
she moved
she moved away, you stayed down
there
there for
there for some reason, I don't know
why.
why. I've

really
really on
really on my nerves.
LAUGHTER

And as
And as for the lifts, that is
totally
totally illegal. There were two
lifts.
BOOING
One
One foot
One foot should remain on the floor
at

at all times. Of course it's up to
the
the professional if they want to
lose
lose marks for that on the course
will
will be
will be marked down for that and I
think
think even a disqualification,
darling.
BOOING
There
There you
There you are, I have an issue with
that

that with that because I think you
should
should follow the rules. That being
said,
