Behind the Scenes[]
- Greg proclaimed that John and Sophie's faces were quite attractive and in "Dream date territory", the episode's name.
- Alex presented the faces in the same way as Paint the best picture of a horse whilst riding a horse, where he didn't reveal their creator's names until Greg finished judging them.
