* TheAtoner: A major part of Ezekiel's motivation is making up for what he said last time [[spoiler: and how it damaged his parents' reputations to the point that they almost lost their teaching jobs]].



* DidNotDoTheResearch: Strongly averted. The author makes sure he include details from the official biographies of the contestants. This is kind of ironic, seeing as how the writers on the actual show pretty much ignore the bios completely

* DramaBomb: Episode 9 of Comeback (Chapters 27-29) serves as a major one: [[spoiler: thanks to sabatoge, Harold suffers an allergy attack that leaves him temporarily paralyzed (after nearly killing him), and Courtney and Duncan's alliance with Heather is exposed during the ensuing investigation]].

* EarlyBirdCameo: [[spoiler: Joel]] appears several times in TDC.
* EasilyForgiven: Played with during ''Comeback'' after the DramaBomb episode: some of the contestants are able to forgive [[spoiler: Courtney's actions]] more easily than others, which makes those who don't forgive them so quickly even angrier.



* FlatWhat: [[spoiler: Duncan and Heather]] both deliver one in Comeback when [[spoiler: Katie is voted off]].

* NeverAcceptedInHisHometown: The reason Cody isn't aware of his popularity after TDI is he avoided any mentions of the show online. Why? Because everyone at ''his'' school harassed and teased him about ''being mauled by a bear''. [[TeensAreMonsters Eeesh]].
* NotSoDifferent: [[spoiler: Gwen]] gets warned about the potential of becoming too similar to [[spoiler: Courtney and Heather]] in ''Comeback''.



** These frequently occur in the series, thanks to all the {{Friendship Moment}}s.



* RescuedFromTheScrappyHeap: Rodney, after the author noted numerous reviews about him being [[MartyStu overly competent at everything]]. Afterwards he started to mess up more, and his personality was expanded to show him terrified of failure.

** Ezekiel's CharacterDevelopment in Comeback compared to {{Canon}} is another example, and several other 'unpopular' characters get the same treatment.


Added DiffLines:

* TimeSkip: Six months passed between TDI and TDC, and another six pass between TDC and TDB. This is important, since events that occurred in several of the contestants' normal lives effect their actions in the game. [[spoiler: Ezekiel, Tyler, Harold and Courtney]] are among those most affected in TDC.


Added DiffLines:

* TheWoobie: Several, but Ezekiel and Cody in particular.

** [[spoiler: Tyler]] has a MissingMom, who [[spoiler: came back after seeing him on TDI... just to berate his father with "I told you so"s and claims that this just ''proved'' that Tyler was absolutely hopeless at sports. She also got him barred from all of the teams at his school.]]
** [[spoiler: Meanwhile, Noah]] suffers from ParentalNeglect, to the point that [[spoiler: when he broke his leg at seven years old, he overheard his mother saying, "Well, at least it was only Noah; he barely moves anyway."]]

** At least at first; they tend to become more rounded if given their own subplot to develop in. Hannah, for example, pretty much didn't have a line in the early chapters that didn't relate to her religion, but this ended when she started her romantic subplot with [[spoiler:Joel]].

So far Beth and Izzy are rooting for Eva while Ezekiel favors Anita. Eva ''yelled at'' Heather for supporting her, so her current position is unclear.
