Trivia[]
- The allergic to chairs joke was used again in Series 4, Episode 6 (Bootle) for Paul.
- This is the first episode where the final two were both girls.
- This is the very first episode when they fail one floor and passed 3 floors, the following which are similar to this are Series 3, Episode 3 (Sutton Coldfield) and Series 4, Episode 5 (Croydon)
- This also the first episode when the unfortunates receive 1 vote each.
- This is the first episode where a tied vote happens even after the challenge has passed.
- This is the first ever episode when all the saboteurs get trapped, this also happens in Series 3, Episode 10 (Hackney).
- This is the first episode where the unfortunates competing in the Fight For Freedom (Renee and Sam) were not the saboteurs at any point in the episode.
- Jack is the only unfortunate who's made up fact about him was revealed before his name was said by the Caretaker. He is also the only saboteur in Black Widow to get trapped, due to him losing the Draw Straws tie to Oaiss.
- Tim is the only male unfortunate to be chosen as the saboteur in Wicked Wardrobes. He is also the only saboteur that turned off only one light on each saboteur alert, which was likely a contributor to him ultimately failing to sabotage the challenge.
- All the saboteurs, except Isobel on Floor 5, were male (Jack, Oaiss, Tim).
