## Trivia

* When asked for information, Austin said she got injured when she was eliminated during Level 2.
* The Knockout Round had a different format in this episode that wouldn't make it in the final cut.
	+ Jeff Sutphen first revealed info about it on August 28th, 2021, during an episode of *Jake's Happy Nostalgia Show*. On November 26th, 2021, he provided more information in a live chatbar, confirming that the knockout round was the only round different than the final product.
	+ When asked, director Steve Grant said that the format was about matching funny faces blindly. However, the game took longer than what the crew thought, so the game got scrapped to the format that would be known today.
* The contestants never got a copy of this episode, considering that the final format was different than what they played. Following this, five out of the six contestants came back for a refilm in Episode 137.
* Austin confirmed in a reply that she got eliminated in level 2 because she didn’t get Doberman. This means the story was most likely about Dog Breeds.
* It is speculated by fans that the puzzles are the same as the ones in Episode 102 and that the 6x6 is from Episode 115. However, this information has yet to be confirmed.
* A prank was (supposedly) prepared for this episode. We don't know any whereabouts about it.
* It is rumored by fans that James Taylor was originally going to compete on this episode, but got a stomach bug backstage.
* It is assumed that January 27, 2009 was the tape date.
