1* SugarWiki/AwesomeMusic: The music composed by Edd Kalehoff.
2* ReplacementScrappy: Robb Edward Morris tried way too hard to be hip with the contestants and didn't seem all that interested in the game itself. Fans [[TakeThatScrappy got some catharsis]] when he was [[PieInTheFace pied]] on an episode of ''[[Series/DoubleDare1986 Family Double Dare]]''.
3* RetroactiveRecognition: Domenick Abbate, runner-up of ''Series/{{Survivor}} Ghost Island'' and ''Series/TheChallenge'' was a contestant on this show.
4* ScrappyMechanic: Fire Drills, especially if a contestant stumbled on one late in the game. Several times one player who had a huge lead on the board would fall victim to one and lose the desk to another who hadn't done much if any up to that point. It really gets frustrating to watch someone blaze through the board, only to hit a Fire Drill one or two questions away from the goal and ends up losing his/her seat to the doofus who's probably still wearing Velcro shoes, who then stinks up the studio in the Honors Round.
