The show pulls the typical "the Death card was drawn" played-for-drama bit during a reading for Rio and Rina. Whether or not the Lovers card drawn at the end will be relevant in the next episode or not...

* WardrobeMalfunction: Happens to Rio [[OncePerEpisode at least once per episode]].
** Rio's wedding dress gets ripped at the skirt by Mint after the latter trips and grabs it at the end of episode one, much to the delight of [[DirtyOldMan Tom Howard]]. Gets followed by a ScreamDiscretionShot by Rio.
** Almost happens to Rio during the virtual beach volleyball game in the giant roulette challenge in episode 2, when the top of her {{b|arelyThereSwimwear}}ikini gets undone, but somehow it gets fixed shortly after.
** One instance borders on ClothingDamage, where Rio and her childhood friend Rina are pitted battle of skeet shoot where they shoot coins. A miss by the shooter (when it's her turn) results in her (already skimpy clothing) getting undone piece by piece (in fact the first one results in an AbsoluteCleavage).
*** And at the end of that challenge [[spoiler: which resulted in a draw]], Rio, whose hotpants were undone in the match, ends up absentmindedly [[DressHitsFloor dropping them]] in full view of the spectators, much to her horror.
** To date, the only time she never got hit with this trope is at episode 5.
** After not being hit with this trope for how many episodes, she gets hit again; in episode 10. This time, though, she actually {{lampshade|Hanging}}s it.
