That's because, the show's cast has had a major update, with the men's team players such as Phil Dunster's Jamie Tartt and Toheeb Jimoh's Sam Obisanya no longer involved (as of yet) and a whole group of new women's team players being introduced.
This includes the likes of Lizzie, Gemma and Boots, played by Faye Marsay, Abbie Hern and Jude Mack. The three new stars spoke recently with Radio Times, and revealed that they have actually interacted with the men's team players - in fact, they took them on in a challenge.
"We met a lot of them," Marsay said of the actors playing the men's team. "I actually know Phil. Phil went to my drama school, so I knew Phil before he even did Tad Lasso, actually. So yeah, chatted with Phil a bit. But we met them all. When was that?"
"Jason's birthday," Hern answered, before revealing that "We all threw darts together" and "we beat them."
"We won. We beat them," Mack affirmed, before Hern added "I really, really want the world to know that."
"Let them know," Mack said.

She said: "I think I'll take [episode] four... I love it. I can't believe that all of that happened in one episode. We had the most incredible director for it, Ellie [Heydon]... and it just flew, and there's so much ensemble work. We're all in it. There are some scenes that are returning cast and new cast."
