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

- Zoe calls her home 'Ball-ty Towers'.
- Sid thinks Louis is quite passionate about winning.
- Craig doesn't think Richard has a delicious preparatory leg, which sounds worryingly like he's sizing him up for a cannibalistic feast.  I suppose it is Halloween week. Also, he did say that it should end with a long lunch. At least, I think it was "lunch"...
- Vincent would prefer to be compared to Boris Johnson than to Denise Welch.  Zoe isn't sure about that.  I always knew I liked her.
- Nobody on the show understands why Vincent's Scooby Doo outfit was a bizarre hybrid of Fred and Shaggy either.
- Kristina thinks she may have created her own bad luck by dressing as a black cat.
- Karen Hardy thinks the props for Halloween week really added to the dances. I suspect this may prove to be an unpopular opinion.
- Louis made mistakes in his tango and we DIDN'T EVEN SEE THEM. Witchcraft, clearly.
- Victoria also made mistakes in hers, but the fact that she kept it together and didn't crumble like a rhubarb-based pudding shows clear progress.
- Johnny Ball is keeping a keen eye on the bottom two; he's also in Venice.
- Nicky gets confused between straight legs and bendy legs, whilst Karen's choreography consists of a series of incomprehensible grunts and noises.  These two revelations explain so much. Also, Nicky's kids know the rules better than Karen does. This is similarly unsurprising.
- Julien McDonald would like to be Fern Britton.
- An embroidered jacket is the fashion must-have of the season...for women.
- Louis's school report from Dance & Drama in Year 7 described his talent as "exceptional". OMG RINGERRRRR.
- Zoe would like to lick Flavia's face.
- Pasha is the expert in armography and transitions, according to Ian.
- You can't do a killer queen in an American Smooth. So there. "That's the problem with the theme weeks sometimes," said Zoe sagely. YA THINK?
- Zoe Ball comes over all unnecessary at the thought of a topless Artem.  Well, she is only human.
- According to Zoe, Richard has broken Erin's 'week four curse'.  Erin would like to remind us there have been ten series and she hasn't been paired with duffers for all of them.
- Erin and Richard's dance this week involves gin and regret.  Of course it does.
- Puppets will never ever not be creepy.
- Robin believes it's better safe than sorry, which is why he made Lisa wear rubbers even if it impeded her performance.
- Erin has been making Richard train in shorts so she can get a better look at what his feet are doing.
- Louis and Artem have both requested that the wardrobe department leave them more...exposed. Presumably for slightly different reasons.
- Michael Vaughan has trained by far the most of all the celebrities, which makes me love him even more.  Dani has done the least... I'm only surprised it's not Nicky.
- There were only 23 sportspeople in the first nine series of the show.  It just seemed like there were twice as many.
- Getting 36 in week 4 means you're likely to get to the final but not win (Chelsee, Matt Di Angelo and Zoe all got 36 in that week)
- Denise tripped over getting out of the cage in the dress rehearsal last week, prompting James to tell her that whatever she did, she mustn't do that on the night. Since she did exactly that, he hasn't let her forget it all week.
- The samba makes you look like a womble.
- Victoria's fiancé finds watching her dance less stressful than watching her cycling.
- Kimberley's got runner's knee.
- Vernon Kay would like us all to know that he is not responsible for Tess's outfits.
- Harry Judd lists the salsa as one of his least favourite dances.
- Colin makes the studio sofa vibrate whenever he sits on it.
- Vincent and Dani will be jiving to an Olly Murs track this weekend.  Thanks for the warning - now I can mute it.
- Vernon Kay doesn't know the difference between a paso doble and an Argentine tango.
