Trivia[]

• The Voice asked Wolfgang and Puja two questions which were "Why did you think the others voted for you?" and "How do you feel about being trapped?" unlike everyone else. This also happened to Jaimee and Florence in Series 1, Episode 7 (Brighton) and Aaron in Series 2, Episode 13 (Wakefield).
• Fabien is the first ever Saboteur to be trapped by the draw straws.
• During Sleep Creepers, Zahrah accidentally turned on an alarm clock. Also, excluding the first Saboteur alert, Alessio didn't go back into bed and instead layed his face on top of his bed, meaning that he could possibly hear Puja getting out of bed to turn the alarm clocks on.
• First appearances of Wall of Sorrow, Witches Brew and Sleep Creepers.
• Puja is the only saboteur in Sleep Creepers who wasn't the saboteur on Floor 6.
• Zahrah is the first female unfortunate to have escaped the tower.
• In the "Jumping down the trap door" sequence, Alessio never jumped down the trapdoor, instead he sat on the edge with his legs dangling out (although it could have been his way of carefully lowering himself down to the next floor instead of leaping or stepping down like the others.)
• Puja is the first ever saboteur to get detected after failing to sabotage the challenge.
• Zahrah is the first saboteur on Floor 6 to escape the tower. She is also the only saboteur in this episode to successfully avoid detection.
• This is the only episode where Freaky Factory is played in Series 1 to have a female unfortunate escape the Tower.
• This is also the only Series 1 episode where Wicked Wardrobes wasn't played on Floor 3 to have a female unfortunate escape the Tower.
• On Floor 3, when Alessio voted for Puja, he mispronounced her name as "Puji".
• On Floor 4, Fabien and Puja drew straws by the window and not in front of the other unfortunates. This also happened in Series 1, Episode 10 (Newcastle) with Mauro and Kim. Coincidentally, it was on the same challenge, Witch's Brew.
• This is also the first out of 4 episodes where an Unfortunate leaves the tower without giving a speech.
