Notes
- ↑ 1.0 1.1 1.2 1.3 Whilst it took Alex 7:38 to find Jo's aubergines and 5:25 to find Katy's, Katy was awarded 3 points and Jo awarded 2 points, although Jo should have been awarded 3 points and Katy 2 points. The scores for the episode and total points for the series both reflect this unexplained change to the points said to be awarded for this task.
- ↑ 2.0 2.1 These points were attributed to Katy but won by Kerry Godliman, who replaced her for the studio segments of this episode.
- ↑ These points were attributed to Katy but won by Katherine Ryan, who replaced her for the studio segments of this episode.
- ↑ 4.0 4.1 4.2 4.3 While Katy is said to be awarded 2 points and Rose is said to be awarded 3 points for task 2 (based on the distances recorded), the scoreboard after the second task shows Katy moving up by 3 points and Rose moving up by 2 points. The scores for the episode and total points for the series both reflect this unexplained change to the points said to be awarded for this task.

Notes
- ↑ Originally, only two points were awarded for this attempt, but a third point was added after task 4 when Greg discovered that spinning a cushion was more difficult than he originally thought.
- ↑ 2.0 2.1 2.2 2.3 2.4 2.5 While Mike is said to be awarded 3 points for task 3 and 3 points for task 4 while Sarah is said to be awarded 3 points for task 3 and 4 points for task 4 in It's Not Your Fault, the scoreboard after the fourth task shows Mike having moved up 7 points for the previous 2 tasks and Sarah moving up by 6 points. No scoreboard was shown after task 3, so it is unclear during which task this clerical error occurred. The scores for the episode and total points for the series both reflect this unexplained change to the points.
