Season scores

Notes on discrepancies

  • At the end of episode 5 of this season, Danielle's score, as shown on the final scoreboard, was 1 point lower than it should have been (she was awarded 2 points in the final task, but her score was only incremented by 1 point).
  • However, this discrepancy was fixed before the season finale, so the final season scoreboard shown is correct.
