*Eric & Katie Poole earned 1,000 dollars for both completing The Cold-Hearted Snake.
**Jacqueline was the second person to not compete in the Wipeout Zone in a team episode. (Tony Juarez was the first)
- Nobody got the $1,000 bonus from the qualifier.
- Eric and Katie Poole are the 2nd couple to win all 4 rounds. (The Improvers Brian and Katie were the others.)
- The Cold-Hearted Snake was different than the other episodes. One member from one team will have to complete the Snake for him/her and his/her partner to advance to the Wipeout Zone. Eric finished first, and that put him AND Katie in the Zone. Katie finished second, giving the Baby Makers the $1,000 bonus. James was the third and final person in this episode to complete the Snake. That put him AND Jacqueline in the Zone. Therefore, there is no need for Jacqueline to finish.
- The Wipeout Zone in this episode is different than the others. One team has to complete the zone (one teammate at a time) and the other team will have to beat the time. The Baby Makers (Eric & Katie) set the time to beat without the Lovers Without Borders (James & Jacqueline) participating. After the time to beat was set, it was up to the Lovers Without Borders to beat it - starting with James. James did not beat the combined time, so, therefore, his partner, Jacqueline, couldn't compete.
James Parent and Jacqueline Ferreira are the first couple to get second in every round
