Die Reden der Sieger endeten mit den Worten „Hopefully for the last time – but not certainly – proud to oppose.“ (M. D. G.) sowie „For the very last time – proud to oppose.“ (S. S.), humoristischen Anspielungen auf die häufigste Redenausstiegsphrase „proud to propose/oppose“ sowie die erfolgreichen vorangegangenen Debattierkarrieren der beiden Redner, die sich nach dem Turnier offenbar vom Reden zurückziehen wollen.
