Trivia[]
- Despite being filmed later than Season 3, it was scheduled for airing beforehand.
- This is the first instance of a series' overall results to end in a tie and thus had to be resolved with a series tiebreaker. (Not counting the Tiebreak used in the second episode of Kongen Befaler's 2-episode special.)
