Trivia[]
- To celebrate the show's 100th episode, the winner of this task received 10 points instead of 5. Guz Khan won so he received the 10 points. Had points been handed normally for this task, Guz would have received 5 points, taking his total for the episode up to 16 instead of 21 (while his overall series score would end on 162 instead of 167), and Morgana Robinson would've won the episode.
