Competition Highlights
- Almost Perfect Strangers had an 'almost perfect' Sweet 16 round, in which they answered every question correctly, with the exception of a steal from the opposing team, Men of Vision.
- In one instance, two contestants from El Chupacabra and We're What Willis Was Talking About exhausted the list of possible tiebreaker answers (the category was American Idol finalists), which necessitated a second tiebreaker. Notably, they listed the Idol finalists in order from the first to the fourth season. The team members also provided an equal number of correct answers in the second tiebreaker, which led to a third tiebreaker. El Chupacabra finally broke through in the third tiebreaker, with one correct answer to zero.
- Even though the Semifinals were to be continued along with the Finals, VH1 revealed the teams that would be in the Finals by showing a commercial with the teams following the first showing of the Semifinals.
- The final question of the competition dealt with the name of the fictional college attended by Denise Huxtable on The Cosby Show. Both players failed to provide the correct answer, Hillman College.

Famous quotes containing the word competition:
“Mothers seem to be in subtle competition with teachers. There is always an underlying fear that teachers will do a better job than they have done with their child.... But mostly mothers feel that their areas of competence are very much similar to those of the teacher. In fact they feel they know their child better than anyone else and that the teacher doesn’t possess any special field of authority or expertise.”
—Sara Lawrence Lightfoot (20th century)
