* RunningGag: Poor Shawn just can't catch a break with bears.

* AllWomenAreLustful: [[spoiler:Sammy and Dawn]] make no effort to look away when [[spoiler:DJ loses his trunks in "Beach Blanket Bogus".]] Double as a NotSoAboveItAll moment for the former.

* {{Foil}}: Scarlett and Jo, being [[ArchEnemy arch-enemies,]] are this to each other (see BrainsEvilBrawnGood above).

''[[https://www.fanfiction.net/s/11008861/1/Total-Shuffled-Action Total Shuffled Action]]'' takes the fifteen contestants that tied in the Race to the Case to the abandoned film lot, where they have a chance at winning one million dollars. Just when the contestants thought that the first season was crazy, the second season turns out to be even crazier. One contestant gets seriously injured, someone starts stealing, and worst of all, someone cheats. Also included is the Aftermath show, hosted by two contestants that didn’t make the cut for the season, and even there, drama is present. Alejandro, Amy, B, Beardo, Beth, Bridgette, Dawn, DJ, Geoff, Jo, Lightning, Sammy, Scarlett, Shawn, Sierra, and Topher compete this season, while Sam and Dakota host the Aftermath.

* TheAtoner: [[spoiler:Jo]] realizes that if she wants to get on people’s good side [[spoiler:after Island]], she has to become a team player.

* BadassAdorable: Dawn. She’s a cute, little mystic who fights for who and what she believes in.

* {{Cliffhanger}}: “Not So Happy Campers- Part 1” in ''Island''. [[spoiler:"Scarlett Fever"]] in ''Action''. "Walk Like an Egyptian- Part 1" in ''World Tour''.

* DescriptionCut: Lightning doubts in the confessional that Chris could get a [[ItMakesSenseInContext sack of flour’s phone number]], and there’s a cut to Chris having a dinner date with it.

* DisproportionateRetribution: Scarlett apparently has a habit of doing this as explained by her family’s message from home. She once came in second during a science fair, and unleashed her invention on the school auditorium.

* ILied: Scarlett’s friendship with Bridgette throughout ''Island'' and ''Action'' turns out to be one big lie.

* IWorkAlone: Shawn spends most of his game without allies. He does this based off his zombie apocalypse mentality, theorizing that if he works with others, then he won’t survive the apocalypse when it comes.

* MiseryBuildsCharacter: Dakota spends a lot of the first season as an intern, and when she’s not doing intern work, she makes friends with some of the remaining contestants. She insists in season two that this helps the others when they are interviewed on the Aftermath.

** Several contestants’ skills from the canon series make use of their skills in ways they haven’t before.

* NewRulesAsThePlotDemands: An in-universe example, late into the Dodgeball challenge, Chris implements a five-second rule regarding holding dodgeballs so the challenge can finish and the show doesn’t get boring.

* ReadTheFinePrint: Chris uses this to force the contestants to agree to season two. [[spoiler: Amy]] and [[spoiler: Sammy]] both read the fine print before they return to the game under their respective circumstances, knowing what exactly they’re getting out of it.

* SlipperySwimsuit: Sugar loses the bottom half of her bikini in “After the Dock of Shame”. She finds them, but doesn’t think they’re hers. Beth, Beardo, and Sierra are very repulsed.

** Ella reveals to Lightning in "Heroes vs. Villains" that while she did date Tyler after season three, they realized they work better as this and become AmiableExes.

* BiTheWay: Sammy comes out as bisexual in "Hook, Line and Screamer" and was later followed by [[spoiler:Dawn (who becomes the former's girlfriend), Duncan and Sky.]]

* BetterAsFriends: After he volunteers to be flushed in ''All-Stars'' in place of Jasmine, Harold accepts they can only be friends.

** BigBadWannabe: Amy believes herself to be the major threat in ''Action'', when the reality is that Scarlett easily manipulates her into following her own strategies.

* BiTheWay: Sammy comes out as bisexual in "Hook, Line and Screamer" and was later followed by [[spoiler:Dawn (who later becomes the former's girlfriend), Duncan and Sky.]]

* AdaptationalSexuality: Duncan, Brick, Sky and Eva are all gay when in canon, Duncan and Sky were both in heterosexual relationships, while Eva crushed on Justin.

* SmallNameBigEgo: Amy thinks she's the better than Sammy in everything, but Sammy manages to outlast her twice in ''Island'', and everyone else finds her a nuisance.

** Other examples are [[BrattyHalfPint Da]][[EntitledBastard ve]], [[ManipulativeBastard Alejandro]], [[ForTheEvulz Scott]], [[AlphaBitch Heather]], etc

* SuddenlyVoiced: B creates a text-to-speech device in ''Action'' that lets him communicate with the others without actually having to talk.

** Duncan is much kinder in ''Pahkitew Island'' than he ever was in canon, as his HiddenHeartOfGold shines through much more often. This is due to his frequent [[ButtMonkey bullying targets]] (Harold and Cody) participating in different seasons, meaning there isn't as much opportunity for him to be a bullying {{jerkass}} as there was in canon.

* AttackOfThe50FootWhatever: the monster in “Monster Cash”, [[spoiler:“Scarlett Fever”]], and “Mutiny on the Soundstage”.

* BatmanGambit: Alejandro appears as if he is going to vote with everyone else, but instead aligns with Jo and the returnees to vote out Dawn in ''Island''.

* DudeWheresMyReward: Amy believes she should be entitled to special treatment upon her entry into ''Action'', but since she never actually won the lawsuit, she doesn’t get any.

--> '''Dawn''': "Your greatest victory will never come if you seek it out."

** Owen partially quotes one of his lines from ''World Tour'''s "Before We Die" in ''Pahkitew Island''.

** The whole first generation (except Blaineley) appears in "Bigger! Badder! Brutal-er!"

** In All-Stars, Noah gets annoyed by being ignored by his team even when it helps him stay under the radar, but when the other team gets a chance to vote off one of Noah's team members, it ends up being him because they view him as a threat.

* EarnYourHappyEnding: Noah, the youngest of nine siblings, [[spoiler: has been tight on money his whole life. He wins ''Revenge of the Island''.]]

* HiddenDepths: "Revenge of the Telethon" has Staci coming from a really large family that work very mediocre jobs, which explains why she constantly lies about her family's history.

* InsufferableGenius: Inverted with Scarlett, it's everyone else that's insufferable.

* {{Jerkass}}: [[AlphaBitch Amy]] is one to her sister and pretty much everyone else except for Lightning, whom she dates at one point.

* KickTheDog: Staci suffers a lot of this from Chris.

* TheReasonYouSuckSpeech: Gwen delivers one to Courtney early on in ''Revenge of the Island'' over her hypocritical behavior regarding how she expects their team to crush their opponents, but she can't bring herself to harm Justin because of his good looks.

* RetractableAppendages: Izzy's [[spoiler:time in the mine results in her gaining a mutation in the form of retractable arms.]] So far, she has shown she can grow *five extra sets of arms* (and probably more, and not always symmetrically with one another; sometimes with more on the right than the left, or vice versa). WordOfGod also claims that she can retract her original set of arms as well.

* ShipperOnDeck: Sierra is implied to be one to "Gidgette" and the love triangle of [[spoiler: DJ, Dawn, and Sammy]].

* DesignatedHero: An InUniverse example with Lightning, who's put on the Heroic Hamsters in ''All-Stars'' despite being a [[JerkJock Jerk Jock]] for most of his run. This is {{Justified}} as Chris originally wanted to put a jock on the team, but was forced to make do with Lightning since both Tyler and Jo were unable to compete. Over the course of the season, Lightning [[TookALevelInKindness outgrows this status]] and eventually evolves into an AntiHero.

* DesignatedHero: An InUniverse example with Lightning, who's put on the Heroic Hamsters in ''All-Stars'' despite being a selfish {{jerkass}} for most of his run. This is {{Justified}} as Chris originally wanted to put a jock on the team, but was forced to make do with Lightning since both Tyler and Jo were unable to compete. Over the course of the season, Lightning [[TookALevelInKindness outgrows this status]] and eventually evolves into an AntiHero.

* ItsAllAboutMe: Dave's general attitude towards Sky and their "relationship". He claims that [[spoiler: Sky getting distracted by Heather calling Dave a terrible boyfriend and subsequently getting knocked into the lake while trying to defend him is a good reason for their team's loss.]]

** Noah calls Leonard "[[Film/LordOfTheRings Gandalf]]".

** Jo also acts much kinder in ''Action'' than she was in canon, in an attempt to lose her negative reputation from ''Island'', while in canon she simply doubled down on her jerkass attitude in her second appearance.
** This also applied to Lightning in All Stars. He acts supportive and nice in order to prove his role to the Heroic Hamsters. Good karma hits him and he [[spoiler: wins the season]].

Joining them are the two newbies, Tyler (the Jock) and Ella (the Fairytale Princess). Keeping in with the series' ''Shuffled'' theme, some of the locations have also been moved around into a different order. The season also contains shuffled mixes of songs featured in the canon season, and original songs written by the author. Three teams are made, one contestant quits under unusual circumstances, and more love triangles emerge. The Aftermath also reappears, and Blaineley is around to cause trouble.

''[[https://www.fanfiction.net/s/11945053/1/Total-Shuffled-All-Stars Total Shuffled All-Stars]]'' takes place a year after the events of ''Revenge of the Island'' when Chris is released from prison on parole to host the fifth season. ''All-Stars'' features fourteen of the best contestants from the past four seasons. The contestants compete in challenges either reminiscent or a mix of past challenges to not only win immunity, but to also win a night of relaxation in the new spa hotel while the losing team sleeps in one of the old cabins. There's a catch to winning though, one member of the winning team must serve exile on Boney Island, where an immunity idol is hidden. Older competitors and newer competitors collide, new friendships and rivalries form, and there are unexpected twists never seen before.
