Keri Leigh Tucker, the first Miss Box of Junk Girl, died in late 2009 and was replaced by Jennifer Gottlieb.

This season marks the first to be filmed at the Sony Pictures Studios in Glendale, California (a suburb of Los Angeles).

Beginning with Season 6, the show aired as a one-hour format in addition to including a musical guest for each episode.

The season premiere was filmed during Guns N' Roses' Chinese Democracy Tour at the American Airlines Arena in Miami, FL.

Another new inclusion to the show is an announcer for the opening credits as well as surprise special guests appearing via satellite to chat with the hosts in the new segment "Metal Modem".

All the episodes were once again filmed on Tuesday nights at the Metropolis Studios in New York City while the ninth and tenth were both shot back-to-back.
