==Trivia==
==Controversies==
* In episode 11, Lumix originally picked Karla as his winners pick, however before he could finish his sentance, Kyoko interrupted him and asked him to send her down instead. He agreed and changed his selection. This was met with some controversy as he had technically already chosen Karla.
