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

- Everyone in the central vertical grid of the contestant display has now been eliminated, if you want to start your conspiracy theories.
- 'Thigh-burning foxtrot' just sounds wrong.  Anton will be twirling in his grave.
- Got To Dance winner Lukas McFarlane choreographed Lauren and AJ's contempowaft.
- Lauren and AJ are going to do a spooky paso to 'Poison' by Nicole Scherzinger, and Lauren is going to play an Evil Queen who tries to kill AJ's Huntsman.
- AJ thinks that the Huntsman was "the fairest of them all".
- Joe is going to the toilet quite a lot.
- Darren Bennet thinks we've lost those couples where you go "yeah, get them out quick". Have we?
- He also thinks the standards are consistent, which... he hasn't been watching, has he?
- Vick and Graziano spent the entire week trying to master the straight leg. Oops.
- Zoe's daughter cried when Vick got eliminated.
- Vick thinks one of the problems between her and Graziano was "the language barrier".
- Giovanni has learned the phrase 'cherry on the top'.
- Faye and Giovanni are doing couples' choice this week - musical theatre, with a lot of Fosse.
- Katya thought they would be in the dance-off but ONLY because EVERYONE ELSE was SO GOOD (sure Jan).
- In the first group dance, Seann only had to wiggle his hips and in one-eighth he went off-time twice.
- Seann has got further on this show than he expected to (LOL I BET HE HAS).
- Seann thinks he might kill the Viennesse Waltz this week.  Good, kill it dead.  Perhaps by finally coming good on that vomit story that's never come to fruition.
- When Lilia watches contempowaft she doesn't want to see steps and choreography, she wants to see what you've got to tell her.
- Darren's contempowaft face is super creepy.
- The show has apparently officially run out of original ideas for Halloween music choices.
- This week's pro dance is about Aljaž having a party and not inviting Oti.
- Pasha appears to spend much of it sitting down for some reason.
- Ranj prefers to be on in the middle of the show.
- Ranj misheard "Fred and Ginger" as "bread and ginger".
- Amy's dad got so excited when her jive with Danny got a 10 that his slipper flew off and hit Amy's mum in the face.
- Danny hasn't lifted anyone since Jackie Harman in 1983.
- Kevin has no skills other than dancing.  And wearing glasses.
- Kevin's top tip for Stacey to pull off the samba was to pretend she was a drag queen in Palm Springs.
- All the pro girls want Stacey's samba dress for the cruise or the tour.
- Charlton FC were tweeting Stacey after she misspoke on Saturday.
- There is a Kevin (from Grimsby) Appreciation Group online that has over 600 members.
- Kevin's doing another gender-role reversal for Stacey's tango because she's playing the Thirteenth Doctor and will be dancing some of the male part.
- Amy can play the piano and Johannes can cook lasagne.
- Both Johannes and Amy have had wardrobe malfunctions that left them on stage in just their underpants.
- Ashley loves a good warm-up.
- Pasha has started pronouncing his own name the same way Ashley does.
- Ashley and Pasha are going to be Trolls for their charleston to 'Witch Doctor'. No idea why. Maybe they got a job lot of make-up for Aston and Janette last year and it expires soon?
- Nadiya can't ride a bike.
- Neil used to sell burgers in a fast-food restaurant.
- There will be a lot of pink at Hallowe'en this year.
- Graeme and Oti were putting in 12-hour training days for the tango.
- Graeme wants to impress Shirley more than the other judges, but Craig is his favourite.
- Oti taught Graeme how to moonwalk on Monday.
- It would appear that Oti talks about That Time She Almost Won With Danny Mac quite a lot in training.
- Gorka and Neil put the willies up Gethin for Hallowe'en.
- Charles thinks it was a blessing to 'herald a new dance'.
- Zoe thinks Jeremy Vine having a radio show and a telly show is too much work, so start panicking about who will be hosting this show next year... now.
- This song does not want to leave 'Time Warp' alone and Charles and Karen are next to desecrate the pure memory of Michelle and Brendan.
- Charles does not want to get 25 again, or indeed go below 25.
- They use a lot of hairspray on Giovanni.
- Lisa Armstrong's birthday was this week.
- This week's Friday panel is Iain Stirling, Sarah Hadland and Mandip Gill - and apparently Jack and Dani are going to be doing it next week.
- Zoe predicts Mandip will be the first Doctor Who Strictly contestant although Mandip protests she has two left feet.
- Kevin is so good at apple bobbing he even managed to sabotage Giovanni's efforts.
- A "twinkle" means something very different in Scotland.
- Kate's husband is going to take dance lessons.
- Aljaž would be happy for Alfonso to be a judge permanently if he keeps giving them high scores.
- Kate and Aljaž have a weird love for Rag'n'Bone Man.
- Aljaž won't let Kate have the actual music for her dances too early because she starts mum-dancing to it.
- Kate is going to be an ice queen and Aljaž an ice king who melts her.  That is explicitly NOT the plot of Frozen, but I'll let it go.
- Kate thought she was doing well at the rumba until she rewatched Ashley's.
- There will be pyrotechnics in Stacey and Kevin's tango.
- Zoe cries at 'Rainbow Connection.'
- It's hard to say 'Craig Revel Horwood' wearing vampire teeth.
- Danny thinks anyone can get a 10 at jive (although he phrases it as 'anyone can shake their thang').  Except Vick.
- Iain can't imagine Dr Ranj delivering bad news because he's the happiest doctor in the world.
- Sarah thinks Ranj should get extra points for the way his tush sticks out.
- Iain thinks Kevin will look like the Tin Man instead of a Cyberman.
- Iain doesn't like the rumba because he had to watch his parents dance it once.
- Sarah Hadland should absolutely be the first in line next time they need a guest judge for this show.
- Iain won't say who he thinks is in danger, Sarah says Seann and Katya, Mandip doesn't know.
- Ashley looks unnervingly like Katie Waissel sometimes.
- Graeme has extensive knowledge of the Trolls universe.
- Graeme is going to steal Ashley's power of 'legs that bend the wrong way' for his cha cha.
- Claire From Steps Richards is the guest performer of the week - but not on the day Faye's in make of that what you will.

"Gorka and Neil put the willies up Gethin" is an interesting way of phrasing it... probably from Gethin's OnlyFans account...

Methinks Sarah exaggerated saying Seannnn and Katya have been bottom 2 twice? Or predicting?

Zoe's daughter cried when Vick got eliminated
Zoe cries at 'Rainbow Connection'

I do wish Zoe would dial down the BS, like the uncomfortable faces she pulls before she performs what always turns out to be a perfect demo with Ian Waite

You know we love a Gethin related bit of innuendo round these parts. and not sure if it was psychic power or wishful thinking on Sarah's behalf or maybe just because it's been the Seann and Katya show she just thought they'd hit the bottom before.
