• 12-SEP-05 - Weekend Highlights
  • Ryan Cahill spectacularly defeats Myra Champaign, 6-1

• 24-SEP-05 - Weekend Highlights
  • Ryan Cahill continues his winning streak, defeating Ethan Roanoke
• 15-OCT-05 - Weekend Highlights
  • Oliver Pohele defeats Serena Duncan
  • This is seen as a huge move for Pohele, and under-dogs everywhere.
  • Duncan is still favoured to win the championship, and this one loss will not greatly affect that.
  • As the season has gone on, however, this advantage appears a bit less certain.
• The week-2 Team Games:
  • Serena Duncan comes out on top, re-discovering her edge
  • Ryan Cahill comes in a very close second, tying up the whole championship.
  • Notable people to be removed from competition include: Gabriella Petel, Klaus Johnson, Georgi Shepherd
• The week-3 hihlights:
  • Maureen Fender-Hu controversially eliminated in a match against Ryan Cahill.
  • She rang in her buzzer mere moments AFTER Ryan Cahill, even though she clearly had the answer well BEFORE he did.
  • Her elimination is seen by some fans as favoritism on the part of the judges, who are pandering to a desire to see Ryan Cahill and Serena Duncan go to the final competition.
• Championship Highlights:
  • The championship match was held Sunday, 15-JAN-06
  • Defending Champion Serena Duncan went against Ryan Cahill
  • Things were going well for Duncan, and a win seemed imminent.
  • Suddenly, a last minute shift was seen, and Cahill seemed to leap into a surprise lead.
  • Cahill took home the championship title.
  • Duncan seemed rather bitter, and may be seeking an investigation as to his performance.
