## Trivia

* In Episode 8, it was revealed that Ellie and Gabby were in love with each other because when the bus arrived, they kissed.
* Ellie and Gabby are the first LGBT couple and also the first couple in general in Season 1.
* Unlike in the beta season, they are the first couple in this season to share a kiss, having a total of two (one on the cheek and one on the lips).
* In the Beta Season, it was possible that it was a one-sided attraction (on Gabby's part) due to how few advances there were from Ellie. However, in the Season 1 remake, it is made clear that this is a mutual attraction.
* They are the first canonical sapphic couple in the series, not counting implied couples like Tess and Ally in Season 2.
* An interesting event happened in both the Beta and the remake; at some point, one of them kissed the other on the cheek. Curiously, the person who received the kiss was eliminated in that same episode (though in the remake's case, the "elimination" actually had Ellie switch teams). This happened in the Episode 3 of the Beta and in Episode 6 of the remake.
* Ellie and Gabby are the only couple to be together on three different teams.
