Trivia[]
- Kenton Duty did not appear in one of the episodes as Gunther Hessenheffer as he said to BOP and Tiger Magazine that he would before the Season 3 even aired and the only time we hear about Gunther is by Tinka's mentions in Fire It Up and the quick mention by Deuce in Spirit It Up. He was even cropped out of the flashbacks in order to put the emphasis on Tinka's horribleness towards CeCe and Rocky so only his shoulder is visible.
- This is the first season not to feature Kenton Duty who plays Gunther and Buddy Handleson who plays Henry.
