Season scores
There are some discrepancies between the official total scores for this season and the points seen to be awarded during the season. Both sets of scores, and the discrepancies between them, are displayed below.
Notes on discrepancies
- The total official points earned by Ève, based on both the final episode scoreboards, and the season scoreboard updates shared throughout the season, are slightly different than those observed to have been awarded to her, due to a discrepancy in episode 2.
- This discrepancy ultimately did not affect the contestants' overall standings in the season.
