==Trivia==
*This is the first episode created where Cake at Stake played before the intro.
**This episode was originally planned with a different event in which no votes have been made from the last episode, and a contestant would have possibly been eliminated randomly. This was due to initial speculation that BFTT wasn't going to get any votes in the beginning before being released on YouTube. However, the 6 votes casted on the first episode changed this, and BFTT would go on to have more voters as the show progressed.
*Spongy is indirectly responsible for Bubble's first death in this episode since his body weight is too heavy, he got flinged not so far and landed on Bubble.
*This episode is the second time Ice Cube dies.
*On July 28, 2018, the storyboard for this episode was uploaded to YouTube.
*The vote for "sam" was not accounted for in the storyboard.
==Continuity references==
* The Announcer mentions that Pin ripped the ribbon in the last challenge.
*The Announcer scoops up the contestants who were still floating on Spongy in the Goiky Canal.
*Snowball is still missing after he was "eaten" by a Fish. Some of the Grey Team go back to rescue him, but it turns out that Snowball is okay as the Fish missed him.
* Spongy randomly appears during the challenge, flying over the same monsters that Coiny, Blocky, and Woody did.
*The last line in this episode was also said in "Four Goes Too Far".
==Cultural references== 
*When the Announcer tells Pin she did better than the other contestants, it is a reference to Mac OS X by making the icon bigger when hovered over.
