Notes
- ↑ 1.0 1.1 Though Tom beat Peter at his sport in task 3 and he is said to have lost two points during the scoring, the episode and series scores at the end of the episode suggest these points were not deducted.
- ↑ 2.0 2.1 2.2 2.3 Rhys' score was 0.0816 (incorrectly stated as 0.816), which meant they had a lower score than Mel who had 0.27, but Rhys was awarded 3 points and Mel 2, when Mel should have been awarded 3 points and Rhys 2.
