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

- In retrospect, Len saying the waltzathon was key to last week's show was somewhat silly.
- Mark, by his own admission, does not know how to lead.

- Claudia thinks it would be better to go out in week one than in the quarter finals. She does know that nobody goes out in week one, right?

- Our Craig replacements for this week are Tim and Judy, which is a SIGNIFICANT improvement on last week.

- Judy played tennis with Anton at Wimbledon. Apparently he is “equally as bad” at tennis as she is at dancing.

- Judy thinks that if she’d been penalised for lifts when she was on the show, her scores would’ve been around zero.

- Tim still hasn’t forgotten Craig’s “dirty nappy” comment.

- Judy’s Colombian daughter-in-law was very happy that Caroline’s Argentine tango used traditional music. 

- Friend of the blog Mark is through to the Superfan Quiz final. Well done Mark!

- Pixie loved all of her dances and can’t pick a favourite.

- Equally, she can’t say who she wants to win, but she hopes it’s one of the girls. (So, Frankie or Caroline then.)

- Karen Hardy’s midwife is called Maud.

- Janette’s dance teacher when she was starting out was really into lifts. This makes a lot of sense.

- Jake and Janette weren’t that fussed about finishing last in the waltzathon.

- Karen Hardy is officially Against Illegal Lifts, because she thinks you should save them for the show dance, when they will be special and Not Illegal.
- Karen Hardy would have sided with Len on Sunday and sent Pixie and Trent home.
- Junior dancer Maddy falling over doing the Viennese Waltz is adorable.
- Jamie and Maddy did well in the Open World championships last weekend.  Hooray!

- Mark saw lots of newspaper articles on Saturday saying that he was the favourite to go. What the hell kind of Saturday papers is he even reading?
- Zoe will be voting for Mark and Karen's reaction last week to get Monkseal's Safety Sex Face of the series award.

- Karen Hauer prefers classy, contemporary-esque rumbas. BOO.

- One of the lesser-known reasons why two-dance weeks are harder is because you have twice as many VTs to film, which means you get even less time to rehearse.

- Tristan and Iveta are dancing together for the first time in this week’s pro-dance. She’s having a little bit of trouble understanding his accent.

- McBusted are kind of unruly, as Bruce knows only too well.

- The only time Harry Judd dances these days is when he’s at home and alone.
- Friend of the show and future ringer Bonnie Langford is more encouraging to the dancing teachers than Robin.

- According to Kristina, you know that your frame is right when it hurts.
- Kristina thinks SImon being in the dance-off three times is some sort of record.  It isn't.

- Frankie refers to the leg hooks in the Argentine tango as “the noodly bits”.
- Darcey thinks any dance off is a surprise.  Not sure she's got the hang of this show yet.

- Darcey’s favourite dance of the series is Mark’s charleston. *pinches bridge of nose, sighs deeply*

- Vicky Gill waits until she sees tapes of the dances before finalising her designs, which means that sometimes her staff in the workroom are getting a bit antsy midweek.
- Wardrobe's latest attempt to scupper Caroline involves using fringing instead of a skirt.

- Vicky Gill’s mum, Emily, was a sample machinist and taught her how to sew.

- Iveta and Anton managed 42 New Yorkers in the pro challenge, but five of them were disqualified, leaving them third overall. (This was all Anton’s fault, Iveta couldn’t have been working any harder.)

- Pasha is not willing to kiss Craig for a 10.

- Everybody wants Caroline’s haircut.

- Pasha is prone to sugar highs.

- Glasses Kevin lip-syncing to ‘One Night In Heaven’ by M People made us feel all funny inside.
- Everyone Suzi Perry knows who did Strictly has fallen in love.  Showmances galore!

- Suzi Perry would be quite interested in doing Strictly if she got the offer.

- Heather Small does not relish the title of “Queen Of The Dance-Offs” - she holds the female record for most appearances in the dance-off (four times), although Mark Benton and John Barnes jointly hold the male record with the same number.

- Christine Bleakley could probably still remember the absolute basics of the dances she learnt, but doesn’t really get much call to do them any more.

- Mark will be doing his rumba barefoot, and believes he is the first contestant to attempt this. 

- Anton’s mum worked two jobs and never had a day off sick.

- Anton would pick Ann Widdecombe over Kara Tointon as a dance partner every time. The liar.

- Anton does not see the point of the samba.
- Anton wears tailored trousers on holiday.
- Anton thinks Darren Bennett is the smelliest pro dancer.
- Frankie would’ve preferred not to have to do a rumba at all, but now she sort of loves it.

- Suzi Perry thought Pixie was going to win. Heather Small blames Trent for her ouster and is now dead to me.

- The show REALLY wants us to think that Mark is the only contestant who hadn’t done any dancing before he signed up for the show.

- Suzi Perry wants Caroline to win, Heather Small wants Caroline or Simon and Christine Bleakley wants Mark to win.
