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

- When she first started training, Anita fell over every time she turned around, apparently. This is why she never attempted the maze at Hampton Court Palace - she'd have been there for hours.
- Rent-A-Pro is looking to partner either Jason or Harry in the final. HARRY PLZ, THX.
- Craig thinks Harry has a chance of getting a 10 from him in the next few weeks. As long as he sorts his dodgy left foot and sticky-up thumb out.
- 'Sayonara' is another word that Craig says with a very odd inflection.
- Craig has advised Jason not to do any more kicks in his routines because they're just clearly not working out for him.
- The decision to kick Robbie out of the swingathon first was unanimous amongst the judges.
- This year's pro dancer challenge is to see who can do the most botafogos in 30 seconds, to see if any of them can break the world record. Natalie went first, and managed 63 (with no disqualifications), Aliona got 64 (with 5 of her original total being disallowed for not being fully into the floor - always a rule-breaker, that Aliona), Erin got 51 (no confirmation given on whether she had any disqualifications or not), Ola got 64 (with no disqualifications)
- James thinks people voted for Alex's charleston because they thought it definitely didn't deserve a six. I personally didn't vote, but I can understand that train of thought: personally I thought it deserved a five at the most.
- Pretty Woman is not James's favourite movie. Neither is Ghost.
- Hats are a nemesis to any dancer, according to Karen. She should get together with Gareth Gates and form some sort of anti-hat league.
- All the couples had a say in what they wore for the swingathon.
- "Just because something is released recently doesn't mean it's new." Actually, Artem, it sort of does.
- The phrase "B Movie" means something very different where Holly comes from.
- Holly can't handle any more of Artem's pole. FNAR.
- Ian has had lots of smaller partners in the past. FNAR AGAIN.
- No male celebrity in the history of the show has ever got a 10 for the rumba. (Unless we're counting Christmas specials, in which case Matt Di Angelo got three.)
- The cameras didn't actually catch Jason's "disahhhhhstrous" kick section during his charleston.
- Ola can't say Reservoir Dogs.
- Robbie thinks that if he made the final, then Ola would be the first female pro to make it to the final twice. Poor Erin and Lilia - so much for their legacy. :(
- Holly's been looking forward to the paso doble since the beginning of the competition. Could we have finally found the one thing she's actually invested in?
- Aliona was not nodding when Craig said that Harry had a lazy left foot; she was convulsing with laughter.
- Harry feels a compulsion to sing and/or drum along to 'Everything I Do (I Do It For You)'.
- Harry first started to go to "black-tie events" around the age of 12. SO VERY MIDDLE CLASS.
- Zoe wants to do Celebrity Wife Swap with Tom from McFly.
- Chris Hollins rehearsed his paso doble so much that he got cape burn.
- Audley, Dan, Jason and Rory all asked Chris what it takes to win Strictly. He gave them his advice. Only one of them is still in the competition.
- Holly thinks she and Craig share a similar dry, sarcastic sense of humour. GIVE THESE TWO A SITCOM NOW.
- Watching James and Artem recreate the "swimming" part of Chris and Ola's charleston is disappointly unerotic.
