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

- Caroline isn’t good at expressing her emotions in words. Just as well she isn’t required to be articulate for a living, eh?
- Caroline’s show dance will be “on the slower side”. So it’ll be a Beyoncé ballad this time then, eh Pasha? 
- Bruno thinks Craig’s facial hair is “an acquired taste”.
- Bruno still thinks doing a non-sexxy rumba is 'different', even after this series with no sexy (i.e. good) rumbas.
- Jake thinks his elimination is a good lesson for his kids about how you can’t win everything.
- Zoe thinks the tooth fairy's going rate is £5 a tooth.
- Karen Hardy thought Caroline was tripping over her dress on Saturday, because she's as accustomed to wardrobe sabotaging Caroline as we are (turns out it was just Caroline making mistakes.  OR WAS IT?  *Shakey fist*)
- In dance, we never stop breathing. That seems like fairly sensible advice.
- Natasha and Brendan danced the first ever dance on Strictly.
- Friend Of The Blog Mark won the Superfan Quiz. He’s dead clever.
- The idea behind Frankie’s rumba was to make a rumba that kids could enjoy. THAT IS NOT THE POINT OF RUMBA.
- Frankie accidentally kicked Kevin in the shins at the start of their Argentine tango.
- Frankie’s showdance will be “very ballroom”.
- Ian thinks the music is crucial in creating the showdance. So this year’s finalists are all fucked then.
- Ian doesn’t think the showdance is as important as it used to be because it’s not the last dance any more.
- Caroline and Pasha are doing a contemporary-themed showdance OH GOOD GOD.
- Mark and Karen's showdance has some exciting-looking moves in it.  Kill me now for thinking that.  Please.
- Robin’s teachers did their dance and nobody died.
- Also Robin choreographed a nice spot for himself at the centre of the routine, because: Robin.
- Karen Hauer’s mum and sister will see her competing on the show for the first time this weekend.
- Hayley from the band’s favourite song from the whole series was ‘I Have A Dream’ in Blackpool.
- Zoe thinks that “Get Frocked With Vicky Gill” is the daftest-titled feature in the history of the show.
- Caroline’s showdance dress will have a rip-off element to it. Could this be the scene for wardrobe’s ULTIMATE SABOTAGE?
- Karen Hauer’s brief for her showdance dress was that it should be bright and fun. (The opposite of Mark, then.)
- Vicky Gill's favourite outfits of the series were Steve and Ola's Halloween skeletons.
- Kristina thinks she is “zero per cent competitive”. HAHAHAHAHAHAHA.
- Tristan and Kristina did their New Yorker world record challenge at a different time from all the other couples because…reasons.
- Tristan and Kristina managed 46 New Yorkers - but 15 were penalised, so their total score was 31, so Aljaz and Karen are the winners.
- Joanne is quite up for being in a same-sex partnership next year on the show if it means she gets to lead.
- Dick and Dom have got four Baftas. That’s FOUR.
- The pros get nervous during in the final, but have enough experience to be able to turn it into adrenaline.
- Karen Hardy is partial to Mark's Superman.  Whatever does it for you, Kaz.
- Caroline and Pasha are the bookies' favourites.  So that's them doomed, then.
- Frankie is so excited, but also so scared. Much like Jessie Spano.
- Mark feels calmer going into the final because there’s no chance of going home. Er, should we tell him that everyone is going home this week, or should we just let him work it out for himself when they turn the lights off?
- Karen choreographed Mark’s showdance by “putting all [their] best bits together”. *predictable joke goes here*
- Zoe’s nephew calls Craig “Greg Gregglewood”. That’s kinda catchy.
- Darcey would like to do a rumba with Pasha. WOULDN’T WE ALL.
- Bruno’s favourite dance ever on the show was St Jill of Halfpenny’s jive.
- Len thinks that the polka is basically “a Viennese waltz with a hop in the middle”.
- If Darcey could bring anyone back for the final, it would be Pixie. YOU VOTED TO ELIMINATE HER, YOU SILLY WOMAN.
- Len thinks the finalists aren’t the people who you’d expect to have made it to the final four weeks ago. AND WHOSE FAULT IS THAT?
- Len thinks this show should import an innovation from Dancing With the Stars whereby the pro/celeb pairings get mixed up for a week.  Let's not.
- Kristina thinks you know how good (or not) your celeb is likely to be when you meet them.  What, even Joe Calzaghe and Ben Cohen?
- Caroline’s showdance dress is “white and sparkly and quite angelic”.
- Caroline thinks that her showdance is the sort of dance she’d do if she was in a room alone with no one watching.
- Alan Carr is rooting for Caroline.
- Dick and Dom have been in showbiz for nearly 20 years. Don’t we all feel old now?
- Da Bungalow was demolished along with TV Centre.
- Dick and Dom were asked to be on the first series of Strictly. They declined because they thought it would be a huge flop.
- The entire Friday panel - consisting of Dick, Dom and Marian Keyes - want Caroline to win. Although they did put up quite a spirited defence of Mark as well.
