* The text on the timeline is as follows:
	+ > Upon reviewing the footage, I noticed that  and  were released into Leg 9 one minute earlier than they should have been, due to me miscounting the number of placeholder circles in the dispenser. (This didn't change the ordering.) However, they were both still eliminated by over 20 minutes, so I think it's a fair elimination! Also, I had already edited in the sound effects when I noticed this, so redoing that might take more effort than it's worth.
