- Sunshine Ronnie Bass has got to be the heat check for one host, who notes he is barely in the movie, about six scenes; another has Petey, Donald Faison, and is told Petey does not count because the award needs a low minute total and Petey is in the whole movie.
- Petey is a bad teammate who ghosted the team twice and still claims glory both times, with Gosling the good guy who just wants to dance; one host is out on Pete while loving Faison.
- The case for Sunshine: he shows up 60 percent into the movie with maybe nine lines, and it is all physical, football prowess and charisma; like fight confidence in a fighting movie, he has sports confidence, with the posture of somebody who has flipped a person before, and Kid Perdue (as transcribed) was apparently a stud high school football and basketball player in Georgia.
- Still going Petey regardless of the rules.
- Asked as the tiebreaker, the answer is Sunshine. — Rembert Browne
- Sunshine felt like he was in more of the movie than he is because he is a takeaway moment; he could not arrive before camp because Louie already fills the white-guy-in-the-middle role; Kate Bosworth is considered since she is only in four scenes, but they are not great.
