Notes
During the second panelist round, Roxanne Roberts made a pun with "Kurds and Whey" regarding Kurdish state in Iraq.
After Roxanne answered all of her Lightning Fill-in-the-Blank questions correctly, including a question about inflatable body in a car's glove box, Peter noted that Luke Burbank has been deflated and can be put back into the glove compartment. Luke's deflated response was "Thanks Peter, that's totally what I needed."
