* In the 2nd Wars, George Francis' Chaos (the forerunner to the legendary Chaos 2) managed to ''defeat'' Dead Metal in the tug-o-war trial. You read that right, while the other four competitors battled to last as long as they could (with two of them managing to last the full time without being pulled into the pit) Chaos actually ''dragged Dead Metal into the pit!'' Even more awesome was that it was [[{{Foreshadowing}} foreshadowed]] before the run when Philippa actually asked Team Chaos whether they could get Dead Metal into the pit and George Francis answered "We'll give it a good go".

*** It was worse (and yet, somehow better) than that- Storm 2 ''won'' the Season 7 Grand Final, only being blatantly robbed of the championship because the judges were tricked into making a false decision! YMMV? No, the judges ''actually sent Team Storm personalised letters of apology'' so they as good as admitted they were the real winners (sadly too late to make a difference)!
