## Trivia

* Most of the Contenders shorts are the same, but some new ones are added (Stephen, James, Hiro, Gabriela, Connor, Hugo), and a few of the existing ones were dropped (Thomas, Emily, Spencer, Philip).
* Journey Beyond Sodor's sixth chapter was delayed for a day because it was HufflepuffBatboy's birthday.
