Austin and Erin's Paso Doble - Strictly Come Dancing 2008 Round 11 - BBC One

[laurahartley56]

they were under marked x

[NinuJuB]

I agree, should have got straight 10s

[TheUnluckyducky13]

why they didn't win i dunno, who did win?x

[lippy88lizzy]

If I remember rightly, Len developed a bit of Old Man Syndrome when he watched this one ....

[lmschutte]

sexy sexy sexy! :D xxx

[Brainiac12000]

OLAY!

[101Becka]

what did they get for this dance out of 40

[Analeigh999]

@101Becka it got 38, Len was in a grumpy mood and gave it an 8, but all the other judges, including Craig gave it a 10! It should have been 40....damn u Len Goodman!!!

[Brainiac12000]

@Analeigh999

It was the jetlag :P poor guy...

[MelanieSmellany]

You know, when they have enough people, they should a "champion of champions" type show - the highest scoring couple (or second in the case of multiple title holders) performing their signature dance. Austin's Paso, Jill's Jive, Rachel's foxtrot etc....

[tomoboy1969]

I have to say this dance deserved 4 tens any day of the week! For me, this was the best paso in Strictly history. He should have won!!

[xpamsog421]

best paso doble ive ever seen! im so upset they didnt win : (

[cuando1979]

1:30 best moment :) love it love it love it

[Ravenclaw160]

I think that Austin is the 2nd best celebrity male dancer, behind Ricky Whittle. But this is just my opinion.

[Tashyy034]

love this.

Performing it on the Xmas special

[Mustardthedog]

im still annoyed he didnt make the final..he could have won and i'm sure his argentine tango would have been fabulous. i wish he'd got through and not lisa. she was boring.

[ladycblack1]

best paso ever!

[cheekygirl12321]

amazing dance :O and can anyone tell me the scores? lol thanks ^^

[CescRVP]

10, 8, 10, 10

[scousechick87]

he was tonnes better than tom chambers even tho i love tom he is good

[gld123]

Olé!

[vivkell26]

really good shame the programme has lost something i think if they had the right music like this it would be better

[appleXinkling]

Erin is so brilliant at bringing out her partners personality!

[theanglez86]

that was amazing and so funny!

[VKI82]

best dance ever on strictly

[DazBradyLM]

Best Paso ever. It just had everything. Passion, drama, masculine arrogance in spades. And Len gave it a 8? MADNESS!!!!

[themightymouth]

DazBradyLM

Yes, Len ONLY marked this dance, 8

He marked Laila's "one legged" unfinished, Rumba, 7

Makes no sense: This deserves 10 EVERYTIME!

[TheBlackHorse92]

Brilliant dance, lovely to watch this before tonight's show... I doubt this will ever be bettered!

[puzZzlewithpans]

this was the best dance on strictly ever! those damn judges are never biased when you need them to be this alone should have carried them through to the final!

[Fiadys]

I agree with Len on this one. There wasn't any dancing - just walking with hands like a waiter's.

[jaradoref]

That is the biggest load of rubbish I have heard in my life.

What would you have given him if you were judging? A 1?

[rmagee611]

this was so good. Austin and Erin should have been in the final...he was so consistent throughout the competition!

[ellie1953]

I still think Austin and Erin should have won

[cuando1979]

will say it again and again

BRILLIANT!!!!!

[btvs853]

Lisa shitdon should have gone rather than him. He was great, she was a skanky twat.

[cuando1979]

i am spanish and i might be bashed for posting this for my fellow people but

I LOVED THIS....

i have lived in England for 6 months and this brought back chills down my spine remembering my home country....

AMAZING...this and Karen's and Mark's Argentine Tango deserved 40 points and to be in the BEST DANCES EVER...

[ncisgrl]

so sad he's gone cried 4 like a week when he left now & i can't even watch the quarter final on my scd dvd cuz i cry when they do the 'moment of truth' it shud have been him and tom in the final

[Valladin]

I really enjoyed this performance when I watched it, it had alot of showmanship in it and had an exiting beginning. Although watching it again, you can see what Len was saying about there not having alot of content in it - they do do the same moves over and over again. Good couple still though :)

[VKI82]

still bitter about this... true winners of 2008

[RebellionLiesFire]

I just wish I could've seen Austin and Erin's showdance. Definitely should have been in the final. I keep coming on here and watching their dances again! :(

[thunderstormabbi]

should of been in the finals

[pacman445]

the most amazing dance ever should have got 40

[tasnbeth]

Amazing

Love it

Fabulous

Grumpy Len, Is Stupid For Givin 8

Should of been in final instead of lisa

and they should of won !!

Or rachel and vincent :Dx

[orangebob12]

I loved Austin's paso. I think he is hot hot hot, and I bet Tess fancied him, cos she kept on laughing at everything he said and called him a foxy foxtrotter! Hmmm....

[Hubrisgoat]

Agree with berrybeth, FAB-U-LOUS! A travesty that they got voted off. :(

However, it's Lisa to win for me now!

[chloelovesfur]

Dont know if anyones asked but whats the music called that they dance to ?

[thunderstormabbi]

Espana Cani

[thunderstormabbi]

winning dance 4 me

[berrybeth]

My favourite dance on strictly EVER. They deserved to win for that performance! Feels like the show has lost alot of excitement and entertainment since they left. Tom HAS to win now, don't think I could bear to watch a Rachel-Lisa final. Don't like either of them and Rachel has always been favouritised!

[r4hul101]

agreed.

[EvertonTV]

Erin choreographed that brilliantly.

[sj2020]

a horrible dance, very over marked...

[BigGunsEre08]

I Can't believe he's gone =(

I miss them soo much, I felt so bad for Erin when they were on SIT2 just to see her cry showed how much it meant to her.

Austin so wanted this and they bloody deserved to be there and they should of gone all the way and bloody won it! =(

Tom and Camilla to win now.

[sassysaz32]

so upset wen they left Rachel and Vincent to win now

[vinwoo84]

Absolutely bloody amazing!!!!

[MaizCoops28]

I was so upset when they left.. there was tears :(

Really wanted them to win, with Tom and Camilla in the final. Now I would love Tom and Camilla to Win, with Lisa in the final.

Lisa and Rachel are both so boring! Sorry =]

[lobbielou]

agreed! rachel is so... annoying. the judges just give her tens when the dances aren't that good. i wanted austin to come first then tom then lisa then rachel but now D:

tom and lisa in the final

[evilprincess4chase]

omg austin dancing ....WOW!!

[aquaticstone]

Other than the last 10 seconds or so, there is no content to it. I think Len was generous with the 8. Jill and Darren did a much better paso to the same song and only got a 37.

[jaradoref]

If Len is generous with the 8, what would you have given him, a 1?

This is without a doubt the best paso ever.

[CipherDSX]

Performance of the series by a mile.

[GoodyTooShoes333]

he is so fitt

[xolittleangelox]

that was the best Paso Doble Strictly Come Dancing has ever had even better than darren and lilla!!!! I love Austin and Erin!!!

[ChelseaLass72]

Yes it was the best performance of the nigh and perhaps of the whole competition. I don't know whta was Len on about. If he really is an expert in latin....then,he should know that a GOOD paso is one like this one. Maybe Len should've gone to specsavers!!! haha!

[GYOUY]

ya absolutely ryt chelsea.. LEN is juss unbelievable.. sometimes he gives like stupid dances 10/10 and this deserving one got just 8frm LEN simply an unjustice to the BEST DANCE OF THIS SEASON and the best PASO OF THE HISTORY OF SCD so far, AUSTIN was juss AWESOME in this dance ! but sadly hes no more in compitition.. he was truly MY FAV :( but RACHEL to win now!

[walfordslilprincess]

I love this. Pure amazing. Everytime he shouts at the beginning i get goose bumps.

But looking at it from Lens point of view, and from a latin point of view i see his point. I only saw one latin figure myself so i see what he is saying.

But i would of given him at 10 because this was just pure amazing!

I miss austin and erin :(

[ChelseaLass72]

Yes! Rachel to win now...

[lynikins1]

This was the best dance on scd so far - full of passion and delivery!! Austin and Erin to win - isn't he just so sexy!!

[lifeonmars90]

luv the start hehe :D

[xoxclaudia101xox]

best paso on strictly ever, the beginning is class!

[VKI82]

My favourite strictly dance ever- Austin has to win now

[CuppaTeaAndCakes]

This dance made me see Austin in a whole new light! Best dance of the whole competition so far!

[NattyDee2007]

Love the traditional music! this routine really makes the audience get involved its amazing especially after 1:20. Incredible. Austin to win!

[BirdFromBath]

Normally the kids talk through most of the dances, but on this occasion it was a jaw dropping moment (silence for almost 2 minutes!) Craig's face is funny throughout - he REALLY enjoyed it! Austin to win!

[Hybrid429]

Glad they wemt for traditional paso music. It

really adds to the effect.

[Heidistuart]

My god he's fabulous. Best male dancer since Ramps. Best Paso ever.  Can't believe Len wouldn't give a 10, this deserved the perfect 40.

[cetteunefluer]

now THAT'S ENTERTAINMENT!

[xXLuxAeternaXx]

It really shows that Erin trusts him not to make a mistake, by letting him do so much on his own. Great dance, it might not have 'content' but it was the most watchable out of all of them.

[Sue2404]

absolutely stunning - my second favourite Strictly dance of all time (Mark and Karen's Argentine tango will take some beating)

[northman34]

awesome dance,i thought it was truly powerful and took the courage of a bullfighter to do it.austin is the man,hopefully austin vs tom for the final for me.

[EWHopkins]

I loved it :D

Len was right about the content.

But I found it very thrilling tbh.

[ladycblack1]

LOVED THIS!!! Although i got this major like cleopatra and anthony feel about it in a good way offcourse lol

[ted1990]

i find him absolutely cringe

[nicaisleain]

I absolutely loved their paso also and feel they really captured the spirit of the dance but have to say that there are few people in the world of dance who know more about what constitutes a Paso Doble than Len. Yes, it was really entertaining but when someone with Len's experience speaks you just have to listen.

[hayley939]

it was amazing!

they deserve to win.

does anyone know the name of the song they danced to?

[david772]

pink- who knew

[davidgreen000]

LOL!

[david772]

a luv doin stupid stuff lyk dat lol

[seori]

It's Espana Cani. The BBC have started to put the music choice in the information box to the right of the video. Such a great song for this dance.

[alisonlp1969]

I thought the Paso Doble dance by Austin & Erin was absolutely fantastic, and I really loved it. World Class.

[dbvixxen]

Maybe not a perfect Paso, but it kicked the crap out of Rachel and Vincent's Paso.

[Peter9761]

The same music that Jill Halfpenny used,but Austins routine isn't half as good,yet scored more.

The judges hand out tens too easily,i agree with Len...it was all show (check out Jill's routine)

[RadyAM]

they are stunning!!!

I loooooooooooove that Paso!!!!!

[Brenna17171]

i disagree with len that paso doble was amazing  that's what a paso is about fighting a bull

[indyna123]

mmmmmmmmmmm. not really

[SapphireM]

Len always said that he hated all that 'messing about with the capes'. I guess he took that further to include Erin as the cape...personally I find it exciting to watch

[XxCrazygal2007xX]

love that paso!

[jaderoyale]

Gosh i can't get enough of this. It was AMAZING.

Craigs faace at 0:47 is the greatest thing ever. He really enjoyed it.

[wlsestudios]

I normally like Austin but that wasn't really a Paso, it looked more like a show dance - couldn't agree with Len more!

[sollibrero]

lack of dancing knowledge trying to be smart.

[ThatIzzyGirl]

Coorrrr what a sexy, powerful paso! Definitely deserves the scores it got (apart from LEN!); Austin and Erin are amazing! <3

That bit he did at the beginning was IMMENSE! Can't believe he used to play rugby! :D

[gorguzjess]

sexyyyy

[HollaaAtYourGirl]

i thought this was amazing, he should deffinetly make it to the finals.

[reinthelw]

With Lizleyann I mean- I thought this was a great paso.

[katyy10]

WOW, amazing.

[jelbows2]

without doubt, the best paso from any series!!

[GYOUY]

judges said thts the TOP SCORED paso in stricly eva... and wt i think, thts not just da best PASO.. but the best DANCE Eva in all series of strickly !!!! AUSTIN to win PLEASE GUYS

[choccyterri]

I loved the spectacle of it!! I wish that they had done a bit more 'in hold' as Rachel and Vincent did, but I think Austin and Erin's Paso was the better of the two...you just can't help but compare...

[suzannah51092]

OMG lol he scared me a bit. Was a good dance though :) Love the music.

x

[Lizleyann]

it was rubbish. all he did was walk around. len was right. their dance last week was rubbish too, they did the same move in it about 7 times. erin is just very good at disguising the fact that austin doesn't do much dancing.

[reinthelw]

Sorry but I completely disagree!

[some2see]

that music was awesome!

[royalgirl31]

This was soooo the best dance of the night

[TheButtylicious]

ahhhh

listen to it really loud

awesome

[sollibrero]

this is the first time the audience booed Len... i mean really loud BOOOOOOOOO!

[sollibrero]

this doesn't deserve 40... I score this 80... this is like combined 2 dances of other contestants... BRILLIANT! I want him to make movie with dancing theme... first james bond dancer?

[RadyAM]

this one is AMAZING!!!!!

loved every bit of it and

brilliant choreography Erin!!!!

this was superb!!!!

GO Austin and Erin!!!

[dancingsteps]

I thought John Sergeant had left??

[hkd1563]

They got 38 points. Arlene, Bruno and Craig all gave 10s, but Len gave an 8!

[trekkerchick]

what was the score for this.

[MissMonroe123]

38

10> arlene, bruno,craig

8> len :(

[alamodex]

Dance of the series...I ADORED this.

AUSTIN TO WIN!

(P.S. What was Len THINKING?)

[AmberPanda]

I think this dance is a bit like blue cheese...U either love it or hate it and I absolutely LOVED it.

As Craig would say

FAB-U-LOUS.

[vixridinvids]

It was FAB - U - LOUS!!

[chocolate27037]

I did'nt like this.

[MissMonroe123]

Dance of the series for me, if not the whole of SCD.

It was just perfection, Very brave of Erin to choerograph the dance like this, and took a hell of a lot of confidence from austin to perform it the way he did, passionate, strong, exciting everthing a paso should be. In my opinion it deserved 40!!!!!

[blackpearlprincess]

Loved this!! 'OLAY!' :)

[bucks8789]

Very brave ! This guy has Balls !

Whatever the content,it was spellbinding !

[RadyAM]

for me this was the dance of the night

and the best Paso ever!!! I'm

so happy for them.... AMAZING!!!!

[BigGunsEre08]

It Should Of Defo Been Four 10s What Was Wrong With Len I Could Of Smacked Him When I Saw His Score Lol.

Anyways Omg This Dance Was Just The Best!! But For Some Reason I Kept Laughing?! I Think It Was Just The Noises He Wa Making But Hey Still Loved It.

AUSTIN and ERIN IN THE FINAL! (:

[ImmiInTheTARDIS]

I agreed with Len that the content wasn't there. What they did was perfect but it lacked something.

[rayraygalorez]

Urm did anyone else thing this looked really comical?

Sorry, I love Austin, but I was in stitches.

[RadyAM]

the only comical thing for me was Len's score...

[g224amo]

Amazing...I had goosebumps all over! Can't believe they didn't get full scores for this...just shows how fake the judges are. We all know Len consistently over scores to make a point!! I personally hope Austin wins. If anyone deserves it, it's him!

[conversekid91]

same music as jill and darren! i did prefer their one, but austin holay at the beggining took confidence and that gets my vote!

[beckyybear]

lmao loved it :)

second favourite dance of this series

nothing beats toms quickstep :D

[Hippyhoppy44]

i luv this dance:):):):)=]

i think they should have got 40!

[j4Rose]

A lot of posturing and showing off. Well, that is what Erin and Austin are good at :)It's a shame that it wasn't really a Paso though x

[xReichenx]

I'd kill for Erin's tummy. wowzah!

[Kirstyy1995]

Sorry but Len should of given him a 9 i think its should of deserved 4 10's but cos len complained he should of given a 9. Austin deserves 4 10's not rachel i hate her loll !

[Hybrid429]

Awesome performace. He so deserved those 10s.

[happyshopper256]

Good grief!! What a hottie Austin is!

[zarak65]

great performance he palyed it well

[noviomagia]

OMG, what a performance!!! The guy is a rugby player, a bloody rugby player! It's unbelievable, amazing, he's so gutsy. Grumpy old Len. Maybe it lacked a bit of content, but my word, this is what Strictly is all about (in my opinion). Austin & Erin, lots of love from Holland and I hope to see you lift that trophy!

[Mannyyyyy]

Loved it but nothing will top the movie's last dance. Len is off his rocker, hes is the bad judge! Traditional, passion and no crap modern tunes...I loved it carried the paso passion especially with Erin, she is awesome. Its al about the eyes...and it was there in small doses...but yeah watch the movie for real paso..

[davidgreen000]

Len might be an old moaner sometimes but in terms of Paso Doble steps, there was about 2 or 3 twist turns. That's it! All the Matedor Shaping, Spanish Lines, Flamenco taps, Apels, and Leaps are all features of the Paso Doble that characterises the dance and adds to the performance. They dont account much for Paso content however. That's what Len was about and I agree with him (and his mark) although it was undeniably a fantastic and entertaining performance, the best Paso of the series.

[BearsAreCool]

A very goo paso but not teh best ever on strictly. Anyone remember brenon an sarah manners?!?

[hayley939]

that was amazing!

they deserve to win :)

[AllMyOwnStunts]

goddddddddddd this dance gave me goosebumps!!!!!!

damn u len, soooo deserved four 10s!!!!!!!!

[pinkythemashmllow]

Len was just being picky (for no reason) and a bit of an old sour puss this has to be the BEST paso of any strickly season, so much better than rachel's attempt which had it's merrits but fails incomparison to austins

[jaderoyale]

This was absolutely amazing.

As much as i love Len as a judge, i did not agree with what he said.

This Paso was amazing. I never realised what an excellent coreographer Erin is.

[luvvylaura24]

OMG!!! I ALMOST DIED OF HOTNESS!!!!!! the paso always reminds me of Zorro. this was just amazing!

[rhianna1990]

AUSTIN AND ERIN WERE AMAZING:D

THAT WAS THE BEST PASO AND COUPLE, EVER ON STRICTLY.

len is a miserable git, go bk 2 bed haha.

Erin's choreography was SUPERB

[Nebagram]

Len is a miserable old git who doesn't see a dance as a show, just as a series of steps, one after the other, with maybe a bit of body language thrown in for good measure. Austin danced a Paso Doble. Did it have loads of technical choreography? No. Was it an amazing show? Undoubtedly.

[alisonlp1969]

Absolutely Outstanding - Brilliant Paso Doble Ever by Austin & Erin. Awesome.

[zeninvention]

Absolutely BRILLIANT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[princessconsuela1456]

My favourite Paso EVER! A-MAZ-ING! Len appauled me with his 8! It was brilliant!!!!!

[DollymixOox]

best pasodoble EVER!!!! What was Len thinking?

It had a HUGE amount of Paso Content!

This dance, Just goes to show, HOW AMAZING Austin is, when he is out of hold, as well as in hold!

Perfection!!!

AUSTIN & ERIN TO WIN!!! <3

[Herecomethegirlsx]

exactly!!! he is capable to dance solo as well as in hold, cant imagine how nervous he would have been doing the beginning, he is amazing!!!

[Herecomethegirlsx]

also this was soooo much better than rachels paso!! what was len on about an 8!! seriously!! definetly deserved 4 10s!!

[Herecomethegirlsx]

look who got the standing ovation!!!

[cutlerette1]

AMAZING!! Erin is a goddess and did such brilliant choreography.

Austin is amazing!

*ERIN AND AUSTIN TO WIN*

[Herecomethegirlsx]

definetly should have come first this week!!! lisa is no where near as good as him!!

AUSTIN TO WIN!!

[adeery509]

LOVE austin!
