This week on It Takes Two, we have learnt...

- Craig has a sparkly zimmerframe and matching crutches. It can only be a matter of time before these are actual props on the show.
- Len is partial to Miniature Heroes.
- Rachel was taking paso doble tips from Dave before the show. THIS EXPLAINS A LOT.
- Deborah had massive bruises on her legs that needed covering up with make-up.
- Robin doesn't think the table was stupid, he thinks it was CLEVER AND DIFFERENT.
- Robin thinks the week five elimination is always a shocking one. (The week five elimination two years ago was Nancy Dell'Olio.)
- Robin's mum didn't vote, and neither did Deborah's family. Seriously, people: EXPLAIN TO YOUR FAMILIES HOW THIS SHOW WORKS.
- Deborah is holding Robin to the promise of teaching her ten more dances. Whether he has enough tables lying around is another matter.
- Deborah's husband has been taking dance lessons in secret. Since he wasn't learning from Robin, he's probably better than she is now.
- A fair bit of Ashley's jive was...invented on the spot, shall we say.
- Ashley's had his first sports massage. It was "amazing but awful".
- Ben doesn't know his own strength. A bit like Thor. *swoons*
- Despite all evidence to the contrary, like statistics and whatnot, the Fiona=Anton's bestest partner ever story shows no sign of stopping yet.
- Fiona and Zoe agree that it's a relief to have a good one under your belt. Anton knows all about that, obviously. (SORRY.)
- Having long legs does not make the cha cha cha harder. Sorry Darcey, but Karen Hardy has declared this to be TRUFAX.
- Patrick and Anya made a mistake in their dance at the same time as the singer went hopelessly out of tune. Sabotage!
- Karen Hardy's grandma is better at the conga than Dave.
- It was the house band playing 'U Can't Touch This' for Mark and Iveta's cha cha cha, not a recording of the original track. So take that, Scott Mills!
- The hot ginger floor manager who repeatedly pops up in the backstage footage is called Greg.
- Acting can cause dancing to go wrong. So all those acting coach VTs were for nothing?
- It is quite hard to correctly attach a microphone to a man wearing a giant inflatable pumpkin.
- Patrick and Anya's rehearsal footage is reminding Ian of dummy dance. Has Anya not been revising her Strictly history
- Karen Hauer is "always hungry". No wonder she's so thin.
- Dave wrote notes to himself on his hands for the salsa in case he forgot the routine.
- Kevin would make an AWESOME Brad Majors.
- We should add 'the time warp' to the list of dances that Dave can't do in the correct rhythm.
- Natalie Lowe's method of teaching dance involves a lot of transport analogies.
- Despite getting married soon, wedding dancer Melanie thinks about Brendan Cole's bum a lot.
- Sophie complains about her position in the line-up wherever she is, but going last was slightly better than going first.
- Nobody watching at home knows anything. Brendan said so.
- One of Brendan's teachers once told him "when you can fake sincerity, you've made it". This explains so much.
- Sophie pulled a muscle in rehearsal doing a cartwheel that didn't even make the cut for the final choreography.
- The charleston is the dance that Susanna was hoping to get to do when she signed up.
- Susanna and Kevin only get 45 minutes to train on Mondays.
- Darcey thinks you can’t keep anyone around if they make a mistake in the Dread Dance Off. We’ll see how she feels about this later in the series when the top contenders start to make their SHOCK appearances.
- Iveta is going to be an alien. In a paso doble.
- Gold leggings do not really suit Aljaž.
- Patrick is very busy doing Strictly AND Casualty. Just in case anyone was wondering.
- Natalie blames her dress for making her smash into Artem’s nose. This is exactly the sort of thing Kirsty used to do…
- Lucky The Predictive Pup favours Mark and Iveta this weekend.
- Rachel quite likes being mean.
- Pasha thinks the Viennese waltz can be a little repetitive, which is why he’s using one as the basis for Rachel’s American smooth, because LIFTS.
- Michael Ball should probably not do Bruno Mars covers ever.
- Donna Air is still a thing that happens, despite our best efforts to prevent it.
- Michael Ball invented a heart condition and a back problem in drama school to get out of having to dance.
