  • Although 'gateau' is actually cake, a croquembouche is a certain type of cake that looks like the one that they made. edit »
  • When Lor says, "Carver's decorating me", the close captioning says that Tish said it. edit »
  • In the french version of this episode there was a line switch. Carver says "but I don't know how to speak french." were clearly translated is "mais je ne sais pas parler le franēais" and that might of confused some french viewers because there already speaking it. So to make it more proper the line switch was "Mais je ne sais pas quoi dire" means; but I don't know what to say. edit »
  • Factual Error: Cake in French is really translated as Gāteau edit »
  • When Tino is kicking Carver, Lor, and Tish out of his house, there is one frame where the colors of the white and navy blue stripe on his shirt invert. edit »
  • Running gag: Carver keeps asking if he can eat the cake and everyone says "No!" edit »
  • Carver apparently voted for himself to be spokesperson, as Tino's mom found an index card with "TENGAR" written on it, showing that Carver's handwriting is so bad, he can't even write his own name edit »
  • Pizza Place: Where's the Pizza edit »
  • (In "Where's The Pizza" the four Weekenders are searching for a pizza.)
    Pizza Guy (as Lor gets closer to the pizza): Hot! Hot!
    Lor (upon touching the pizza): Ow!
    Pizza Guy: I said it was hot! edit »
  • The gang vote for their spokesperson the same way the castaways vote off their tribemates on the hit show, Survivor. edit »
