* CallBack: The Storyteller tends to [[LemonyNarrator lampshade her references]] to earlier plot points with the [[CatchPhrase narrative flourish]], "as has been told of before". When Lindsay is first revealed to be a gymnast, for example, the Storyteller describes in considerable detail Lindsay's achievements in that field. Many chapters later, when this secondary character trait becomes relevant again, the Storyteller says in pertinent part, "Lindsay was an accomplished gymnast, as has been told of before..."

* FinGore: One contestant loses a finger in a challenge accident. The severed digit is too badly mangled to reattach with any realistic chance of success. Leaving this particular character with nine fingers is a MythologyGag explained in the story's Notes.

* MaleGaze: A close race sets up an in-universe example. When the race leaves the well endowed Heather and the [[GagBoobs superabundantly endowed]] Lindsay lying on their backs panting for breath, an alert cameraman records the scene, with particular emphasis on the girls' heaving chests. When Chris finds out, he warmly commends the cameraman on his viewer appeal instincts.

This or these examples of Surprisingly Realistic Outcome seem to violate at least one of these rules, which disqualifies them: No character reactions (characters get angry, don't forgive, don't change their personality instantly, etc.); Too fantastical (depends on the properties of magic, powers, sci-fi tech, monsters, etc.); Not surprising (a character was warned about the outcome, it's used to provide Karma or An Aesop, or it simply follows normal conventions for this genre or medium); Plot happens (the example only describes an event, but not why audiences would expect a different, unrealistic outcome); Not an outcome (a character just explains why something wouldn't work as expected, or something is just an innate aspect of the setting or character that has a logical reason for being present); More of a Deconstruction (the event has major, lasting effects on the plot, make something more realistic, but not completely realistic, or a parody/fanwork applies realistic consequences to the events of a different work); or fits better under a different trope. See the trope's definition for more details. If you believe a removal was a mistake, please bring it up in the cleanup thread.


* SurprisinglyRealisticOutcome: The small nuclear blast from Izzy's atomic fire starter is a comic scene ... until several contestants develops symptoms of radiation poisoning a few episodes later.
