## Trivia

* The wacky music can be heard during Drew's turn.
* There were 13 correct items said in Level 2, but it was edited to only 3, meaning that most of the items said were ones that were edited out of the story.

#### **Everything that was edited out**

* Jeff's silly headline in Level 1
* The answer to the 40-point puzzle.
* This is one of the two episodes to have no interviews in Level 2, the other being Episode 133.
* Level 2's story was cut down to 11 items with 4 of the images (Bubblegum Blowers, Beatboxer, Ventriloquist and Weightlifters) only being seen in the KO Round.
