However, many online fans challenged the index, noting that the phrasing was confusing, noting that it was not clear if the index was looking for the winners of the best song of the last two years, the winners in 2024 and 2025.

“It was badly formulated,” wrote a user on the Peril YouTube page. “I assumed that they asked questions about the last 2 best winners of the songs: 2024 and 2025. The force of the comma!”

Instead, the index was referring to the last two best song winners who shared a song title and a film title, which could only be the James Bond franchise. Adele won for “Skyfall” in 2013 for his eponymous song, while Billie Eilish won the Academy Prize for the best original song in 2022 for his title of title, “No Time to Die”.

Only last week, the show was criticized when the outlets wrongly reported that Jason Singer and Susan Macmillan were the first newlyweds Sweet! Champions in the history of the show. This prompted the former competitor Kristin Sausville, a former champion who is also married to a Sweet! Winner, to write on Facebook, “there is something really surreal and honestly a little sinister by watching a part of yourself to be erased in real time.”

Sausville estimated that at least half a dozen couples in the world are old Sweet! Champions.

This has encouraged to apologize, noting that, as Sweet! Confirmed at Entertainment Weekly, that the show does not keep a trace of the appearance of married couples as competitors.
