* Ben & Adam hit Sam & Toby with a curse that prevents them from saying any words with the letter "E" in them. Once the latter two see the curse, Sam intentionally tries to [[TheQuietOne avoid talking as much as possible]], and instructs Toby to do the same in an attempt to not say "E". This results in some pretty funny moments afterwards.

* Episode 6 is a tense affair, as Adam and Ben just need to get their Far Flag as far as possible in order to win. Towards the end they manage to pull off an insane attempt of careful tower placement, hiding, and successfully beating Sam and Scotty's own tower in order to zip ahead to where they need to go. It is an incredible sequence worthy of cinema, [[spoiler: only for the two to immediately pull a curse that requires [[BeyondTheImpossible a train in Japan to run late]] and screwing themselves over.]]

With their capture inevitable, they decide to use a Mud Tower on Scotty to force him to walk sideways just for fun, which leads to the highly amusing visual of Scotty approaching them from the edge of the camera screen while dancing/scuttling sideways like a madman.

* In episode 5, Ben mentions that he had a dream where Adam and Sam fell down a well and he won and got a parade thrown in his honor and Joe Biden kissed his forehead and gave him the key to the city. When he wins and gets the "trophy", his victory celebration is edited to look exactly like his dream, complete with Adam and Sam sinking into the ground and Joe Biden showing up to give him a kiss and key.



* In episode 4 Sam and Michelle have to explain "the birds and the bees" to a bird and a bee for 20 seconds. Michelle, [[DrunkenGlow who is still drunk from the failed]] "[[DrunkenGlow Run a Drunk Mile]]" [[DrunkenGlow challenge]], is given the job of doing it to the bird and her explanation is ''glorious''.

* In the finale, Sam and Ben make a critical miscalculation of Adam's location leading them no closer to finding him with the information they have. With Adam's victory quickly approaching, Sam and Ben resort to spamming Adam with the most annoying challenges in the deck (such as making him walk for half a mile on Strava or keep the seekers on FaceTime until he shows them a bird on camera), both for catharsis and in the hopes he'll slip up and accidentally give the seekers some more information.
