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

- Brendan threw the bouquet very enthusiastically in rehearsals and it ended up in the light rig.
- Brendan wanted Richard to catch the bouquet but he'd already gone.
- Zoe likes the idea of Craig getting married, Brendan doesn't.
- If Charlotte had stayed in, she would have done the Viennese waltz next week.
- "Friends for the life" is still a thing, and it's nice that Iveta has some sort of legacy I guess?
- Charlotte wants Davood to win.
- Zoe would like Ben Shephard to be the next GMB-er on the show.
- Katya likes to help the wardrobe people with little jobs and thinks this ensures she gets the best outfits.
- Susan is always first in line to queue before the show because she doesn't like to be any bother.
- Ruth's tango dress rehearsal was awful.
- Anton favours velvet for the dramatic dances because it makes the colours more intense.
- Ruth hates Anton making her start on the stairs by herself every week.
- Ruth and Anton are joking about doing a tango-samba hybrid (which would make about as much sense as fusion week) - Ruth suggested 'tamba' as the name, Anton.... sambo.  Oh, Anton.
- Neil's dress sense remains...idiosyncratic.
- Chloe thinks Joe suffered from Katya putting too much content in their cha cha routine.
- Mollie's lifts were even worse in the dress rehearsal. Think on that.
- Both Mollie and AJ eschew the wearing of socks and will therefore not be supported by this blog in future, I'm sorry.
- Mollie would like 'less dancing, more lifting'.  I'm sure Craig and his new rulebook will love that.
- AJ can't say "fleckerl".
- Nadiya has done many accidental illegal lifts during her professional competitive ballroom career. Try to look surprised.
- Davood's jive is "going to have a lot of proper jive in it".
- Chloe has taken to referring to Neil as "my assistant", what a goddess.
- Neil thinks Kevin might actually win this year. I hope he's right because that would be hilarious.
- Chloe thinks Jonnie is the most affable person she's ever met.
- You don't necessarily have to rotate your hips in the salsa - if you prefer you can keep your hips still and rotate your shoulders.
- Gemma and Aljaž are going to be doing a foxtrot to 'Believe' by Cher except not by Cher it's going to be some godawful JohnLewisification instead.
- Cilla Black used to live next door to Mary Berry.
- Simon can't even get the Carlton dance to 'It's Not Unusual' right, bless him.
- Chloe has been replaced as the two Lisas' model of choice for hair and make-up demos.
- We have our first "get to Blackpool" campaign courtesy of Simon.
- Tim Lovejoy has a lot more faith than Karen that Simon will get there, however.
- Karen likes food, did you know that?
- Flo Rimmer is now sufficiently proud of her dad to go on It Takes Two in support of him.
- Brian thinks that all the characters that he's played in the dances are quite like him, and that this shows his versatility. I think that shows the opposite, personally.
- Amy and Brian's goal is to make it to Hallowe'en.
- Amy has a twin sister called Rebecca.
- Brian and Amy are planning a "homage" to one of Shirley's iconic moves on Saturday. This can only end well.
- Jonnie will be using his blade again for the quickstep and Oti is happy.
- He's been told the quickstep is 'basically running' so he thinks he'll be fine.
- Debbie owns a ridiculously revealing playing card patterned skirt that she wears with thigh-high boots what a minx.
- Debbie recommends getting Giovanni to come and yank your leg up.
- Giovanni likes uniforms.
- Giovanni told Debbie that no-one gets good scores for their cha-cha, even though Aston just did the week before.
- Giovanni thinks the rumba is 'difficult, especially for females'.  I feel like everything I've ever been told is a lie.
- Anton's staple Anton!Latin moves include the 'chuck and slide' and the 'throw her on the floor and spin her'.
- Susan's steps are too big for the Latin.
- Simon and Karen have got actual fiddles for their charleston.
- Alexandra sees Gorka and just goes RARRRRGGHHH. Relatable.
- Alexandra saw Tina Turner on Wednesday and said "hello Miss Turner".
- Gorka would like Alexandra to follow in the footsteps of Ore. Presumably not the two dance-offs, though. Or any of the steps from his charleston.
- Alexandra thought Craig was angry after their jive because she can't read him, and she doesn't think they'll get a 10 from him this week.
- Debbie's rumba is looking "earthy". Hooray!
- Joe claims to have enjoyed his cha cha cha. He's clearly not as good an actor as I thought.
- The only thing Joe liked about cuban heels was the way they gave his calf muscles a workout.
- Joe's hand is so bruised from hitting the floor that he can't high-five Katya any more.
- The colour scheme for Brian's jive is Hi-De-Hi!-inspired.
- Susan likes the way that even Craig's compliments sound negative somehow.
- Susan has already apologised to Kevin for the likelihood of breaking his perfect record of reaching the final.
- Susan has never been dumped before.
- Susan and Kevin's cha cha has been inspired by Bridget Jones.
- Due to the weather, Kevin couldn't make it up to Susan to rehearse at the start of the week.
- Susan's sustained a knee injury this week.
- Darcey has had a couple of girls before. Make of that what you will.
- Darcey's always upset if someone gets their 10 out before she does.
- Darcey's midweek fashion choices are as 'interesting' as Neil's.
- Aljaž still really likes reading the captions to see what joke they've made about his name this week.
- The foxtrot is Gemma's least favourite dance. So relatable.
- Everyone's scores are going to go down this weekend because Bruno is taking the week off.
- The group dance this week is speed-dating themed, and Anton will be flipping Pasha around.
- This week's Friday panel is Harry Judd, Shane Richie and Emma Samms off Dynasty. What an odd combination.
- Harry has got Jo Clifton to help out with his new book. Bet Aliona's thrilled.
- Emma thinks the problem with Mollie and AJ's lifts is that he's too short.
- Every couple has to practice standing under the red light on a Saturday.
- Jonnie likes lifts because they mean he has to do less dancing.
- Apparently Jonnie's bum is more chicken-like than dinosaur-like now.
- Anything said in the Clauditorium is legally binding.
- The pro challenge is coming back!
- Harry thinks Simon might be going home, Emma thinks Not Her Paul Susan, Shane agrees with Harry.
- Joe wants to make sure you know that Holby City isn't a soap, it's a continuing drama.
