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

- Craig can play the recorder.
- The show has made Sunetra realise she’s more of a girly girl than she thought she was.

- Jake misses having hair.

- Pasha does quite a passable macarena.
- Craig gives a 10 when he stops judging and gets carried away.  So that explains some of his past choices, then.

- Craig thinks Pixie’s charleston could’ve been a 10 if it had different music.
- The God of ankles was on Sunetra's side and not Steve's this week.

- Sunetra and Brendan are doing a Rio-centric rumba for Around The World week. Presumably it will be neither dirty nor filthy.
- Brendan thinks Caroline and Pasha should have got 9s and 10s last week.
- Zoe gets accosted in the supermarket asking when the band will be on ITT.  Whether or not it's members of the band accosting her is unclear.

- The band only rehearses the songs on Fridays and Saturdays. This may not come as a surprise to some viewers.

- Hayley from the band doesn’t really like anything that was released after 1975 apart from Kate Bush.

- Steve’s teachers used to call him “monkey boy”.

- Small boys aren’t great at the macarena.
- They also confuse Ola Jordan with Olaf the Frozen snowman.
- Jake and Janette were having too much fun to dance their samba rolls properly.  Well, if that's Craig's excuse for not judging properly...

- Jake is good at recognising most party dances, but not the Time Warp.

- Jamie and Maddy, the kids who do the Ballroom Breakdown segment, are adorable and we want to adopt them.
- In related news, we're glad this has replaced the home videos of people's children dancing.

- Twerking is good for strengthening your pelvic floor.

- Karen Hardy thinks the show has 15 million viewers.
- Karen Hardy wants to know who the real Frankie is.  I just want to know if she remembers me (Frankie). (Sorry).
- Iveta was a guest choreographer on the Indian version of Strictly in 2012.

- Kristina has a choreography meltdown every Tuesday.
- The host of Portugese Strictly does a Bucks Fizz with her costume.  Every week.

- Erin started dancing seven weeks after her son was born. She might be some sort of superwoman.

- Katya hasn’t had any babies yet, but she’s “practising”.

- Julian Clary still remembers the steps to his quickstep.

- Katya thinks dancing with Gavin made her fitter.
- Katya and Erin think the foxtrot is the hardest dance to learn and it takes years of practice to make it smooth.
- Katya and Erin got more same-sex dance action in during a short ITT segment than there was in the much-hyped cops'n'robbers dance last week.

- Lisa Riley refuses to go away.

- The Superfan Quiz is kind of dumb and goes on forever, but some friends of the blog are taking part so we’ll be nice about it from now on.

- Janette basically threw the New Yorker pro challenge <3

- Kevin and Janette managed to do 32 New Yorkers, with two penalties, which means they got a total of 30 and they’re at the bottom of the leaderboard.

- Frankie had gone cross-eyed by the end of her Viennese waltz.

- The contestants get put into their costumes around midday on Saturday and are sewn into them. This is bad news for Frankie, who needs the toilet a lot.

- It’s “Weedo”, not “Guido”. We’ve been getting it wrong all this time, and we can only apologise.

- Kevin does impressions of various qualities, but he does an uncanny Anton. And his Iveta isn’t bad either. (Frankie’s Len isn’t particularly accurate, but is funny all the same.)

- Strictly Come Dancing Austria (or Dance Stars, as it’s called over there) was the first in the franchise to feature a male couple dancing.
- Two of the Austrian pro dancers also got married on the show.
- Ian Waite wants to see Simon's bottom doing more swinging. *Slide whistle*

- In a Viennese waltz you should never do reverse turns around a corner.
- The pro dancers are struggling with their Bollywood dance which has lots of bum wiggles.

- Pixie’s paso outfit was made from a viscose material with a metallic coat, and you can get the material on the Goldhawk Road in London.

- Wardrobe did not sabotage Caroline’s American smooth intentionally, according to Vicky Gill.
-There are going to be more 'extra dancers' this week o yay.
- Kristina likes a light skirt.
- One of the teachers in Robin's dance class has started wearing Christmas T-shirts even though it's still onlly November.
- 33 is Caroline and Pasha's "standard mark" after receiving it twice.  Tell that to poor Ashley '35' Dawson.

- The three women sitting behind Caroline were squealing loudly when she nearly fell on them.

- Caroline didn’t really want to do the death drop in her American smooth.

- Sophie Ellis-Bextor’s charleston was one of the main inspirations for Caroline to do Strictly.
- Pixie was hoping that her endurance and fitness would've improved by week nine. They haven't.
- Trent calls the tube "the subway".
- Pixie had never heard Max Bygraves' 'Tulips From Amsterdam' before this week.
- Darren Bennett is a judge on the Lebanese Strictly, which is a trilingual show.
- Poor Little Me Mark Wright is trying his best but can't get a break (/10) poor lamb.
- Las Vegas is probably Mark's favourite place in the world.
- Denise Van Outen never sees James Jordan now.
- Jenny Eclair has no favourites and is therefore open to bribery.
- Everyone from Grimsby is dynamic.  I don't care if that was Bobby Davro having a joke, it's true dammit.
- They Might Be Giants' Istanbul (Not Constantinople) is the Charleston music we've all been waiting for and might be the one thing that makes this theme week bearable.  Maybe.
- Bobby Davro is mates with Jake.
- Everyone is STILL trying to make Mark Wright's journey happen.
- Denise Van Outen wants Mark to win, Bobby Davro Jake and Jenny Eclair Mark or Pixie.
