Ron: A baby and a sack of flour!

Monkey Fist: Ah, that explains everything.

Notes

• According to his website Greg Weisman (writer of "Queen Bebe" and this episode) said that he is a huge fan of Kim Possible and hopes to work with Bob Schooley and Mark McCorkle again. Also when asked if any Kim Possible voice actors will be working in his current projects, he says: "I'm sure there will be some overlap, but I don't have a good enough handle on who all did what voices on Kim to be certain". [1] But then again "anything's possible". 

Errors

• Even though (according to production codes) this episode is after "Clothes Minded", Kim continues to wear her old mission outfit.
• When Kim and Ron go to Barkin's house to get the second sack of flour, Kim is wearing her green shirt. In the next shot, she is wearing her pink shirt.
• In one shot we see Kim's mom starting to make pancakes from scratch, but in the next shot about two second later, they are completely cooked and ready to serve.
• Ron leaves to rescue Kim with his twenty-secondth sack of flour and arrives with his thirty-eighth one; however, he kept his spare flour in his closet, and did not take any more with him.
• For Ron's last flour sack, he calls it MCMXXXIIII. This is not a real Roman numeral since it should be MCMXXXIV, although it is possible that Ron is not aware of the Roman number for 9. We have never seen flour baby 9, 19, or 29. He has said in the episode, Team Impossible, that he is not good with Roman Numbers.
• Just before Monkey Fist and his monkeys crash into the tree, we briefly see the road ahead of them, and there is not a tree.
• When Ron gets the flour assignment in Health class, you do not see Tim and Jim, who are in his own Health Class. All seats of the class are filled up though. When Ron hands in his last sack, which is actually the sack of sugar, you do see Tim and Jim seated in the front row.
  • Also In Grande Size Me, Ron sat behind Tim and Jim.

Continuity

• When Ron asks his parents why they did not tell him about Hana, they say "This is our way of telling you." This is similar to the events in A Sitch in Time where they fail to mention that he is moving to Norway until the last moment.
• Ron is now taking the class, which he was forced to take now, since he did not take it as a Freshman. The Health class from "Grande Size Me" is also the class with the flour baby, or in Ron's case, babies.
• Kim asks Ron if he too old for the Flour assignment, but since she did take Health Class as a Freshman, and knows that he did not take the class until Senior year. You would think that she knows the flour assignment goes with the class, not a person's age. It is simply that he is just now taking the class of the flour assignment.

Allusions

• The title of this episode is similar to the name of the popular reality TV show Big Brother.
• In the second temple, which was the blue one, the statues that come to life resemble Gargoyles, from the show Gargoyles. That show was produced by Greg Weisman, who also wrote this episode. He also wrote the season two episode Queen Bebe.
