## Trivia

* According to the application form, filming took place on December 17, 2023.
* This is the first season to see a queen compete for the fifth time (including specials).
* This season is the second non-regular season (after MDR vs. The World) to see queens compete for the first time.
* Denali Oddly, Nicole Jush, Nikky Fox, and Wren Wyvern were originally casted for the season, but did not show up to filming.
	+ Most of them were assigned to participate in the third challenge (story writing), so Micro had to ask ChiTownBreeze to compete as a backup in order to have more than two queens participating in it.
