* BatmanGambit: Instead of shouting back, Ryan spends the episode calmly agreeing with Stephanie's insults and criticisms, which makes her confused and too flustered to keep it up. He says he learned this trick from his father.


Added DiffLines:

* DescriptionCut: Certain the other teams will target them for elimination, Emma wants to try to shift that focus to the Best Friends instead. When Kitty frets about betraying their alliance, Emma guarantees that Devin and Carrie are plotting to do the same. We then see the two sitting quietly, as Devin desperately tries to work up the nerve to tell Carrie how he feels about her.


Added DiffLines:

Added DiffLines:

* ArtisticLicenseBiology: If Kitty really was 7 miles down the borehole for that length of time, she would at least have felt a little ill from doing so.
* ArtisticLicenseGeography: Two of them:
** Firstly, Siberia is a general area of Russia, not a province like Don said.
** Secondly, The Kola Borehole isn't located in the area defined as Siberia, but on the Kola Peninsula, hence why it's called the '''Kola''' Borehole.


Added DiffLines:

* HuskyRusskie: A few are seen as background characters.
* LightIsGood: One of the Siberian Yetis in the episode helps the Daters/Haters get a push their ice sail when their sail breaks.


Added DiffLines:

* PaletteSwap: The Yetis look the same as Sasquatchanakwa from the main series but white.
