Notes

Aamer Haleem used his "default" answers of "Herpes" and "Boutros Boutros-Ghali" during the panelist rounds and the Lightning Fill-in-the-Blank round. Paula tried to plead with Roy Blount, Jr. to punt it so that Paula would win; in which, Roy responded with "I will not fall off of the cross", which was what Aamer tried to get Carl and Peter to accept as a correct answer during his Lightning Fill-in-the-Blank round.
