- Dr. Patel is the main job-competence candidate: vague advice, blurred boundaries and deliberately playing Pat’s triggering song in the waiting room are criticized as unprofessional.
- The police officer is a runner-up for inconsistent enforcement and constant availability, though his appearances and flirting work as a comic device.
- Pat Senior’s bookmaking is questioned because his business seems to consist of risky Eagles bets with Randy; Randy’s precise role remains uncertain.
- The judge awarding a 5.3 is another job-competence nominee, with disagreement over whether the dance deserves that score; Dr. Patel is the final choice.
