Trivia[]
Behind the Scenes[]
- When Jess collects her prizes after winning the episode, she drops and smashes Rhod's gift. Footage was cut from the episode of Rhod and Greg suddenly getting panicked that she would actually break it and pleading with her not to, before Alex nodded and she dropped it as shown in the aired edit. When she then moved over to James' calendar he also stood up and pleaded that he really liked it, asking her not to damage it. Jess apologised to Rhod and his wife, who forgave her quickly as it was very funny, and production repaired the ornament returning it to Rhod's wife.[1]
