- Victor: “If you're rational like me, you'll know I'm going to win.”
- Charlie: “You want me to say what I think of my chances? Well, my most cutting reply isn't anything I could express in words - it's what I look like out on the court.”
- Enrique: “Tomorrow's above-the-fold headline is going to be my surprise victory.”
- Rachel: “They say the game is 90% mental, and I'm sharp as a blade. I feel
good about my chances.”
- Edith: “Look, I'm the best, and I've got the will to do what it takes. I'm going to win. It's clear. Crystal.”
- Alyssa: “My strategy is endurance - just snip away at the competitors until they're gone.”
- Mike: “Hey, my place is among the stars. I'm sure I'll win.”
- Owen: “I'm going to destroy the rest of them. I'm Godzilla looking down on Tokyo right now.”

- Deirdre: “All those other fools? They try to run with me, they going to have a bad time.”

- Peter: “You can just call me Peter the Pulper, because I'm going to beat the rest of them into a pulp.”
- Beatrice: “I have literally worked my tail off. I deserve victory.”
- Mei: “I have a mind like a diamond: cold, hard, and brilliant. Of course I'll be able to beat all the others.”
