- Eric and Katie Poole were the second couple to win all four rounds. (The Improvers Brian and Katie were the others.)
- The Cold-Hearted Snake was different than the other episodes. One member from one team had to complete the Snake in order for the team to advance to the Wipeout Zone. Eric finished first, which 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 was no need for Jacqueline to finish.
- The Wipeout Zone in this episode was different than the others. One team had to complete the zone (one teammate at a time) and the other team had to beat that time. The Baby Makers (Eric & Katie) set the time to beat before the Lovers Without Borders (James & Jacqueline) could participate. 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, and therefore his partner, Jacqueline, couldn't compete.
- James Parent and Jacqueline Ferreira were the first couple to get second in every round.
- Other contestants included 'The Old McDonalds' Mike & Olga McDonald, Todd Luaman & Laura Speth, who have been engaged for 12 years, a Transylvanian couple named Chelsea & Robert, and Brian McConnell & Jason Dudley, who were the first gay couple to compete on Wipeout.
