Misuse. The game's only major change from the original is that the stakes are much higher, so the reader wouldn't necessarily expect major changes in who is eliminated early, who competes in which challenge, etc.


* InSpiteOfANail: Despite the darker nature of the fic, some things haven't changed, some like:
** Noah, Eva, Tyler, Sadie, Cody, Ezekiel and Katie are still eliminated way before the merge.
** Noah is voted off after the dodgeball challenge.
** Trent and Heather still participate in the talent show contest challenge.
** Eva is the second member of her team to be voted off.
** Duncan, Geoff, Courtney and Bridgette still become friends.
** Duncan, Geoff, Bridgette, Heather, Leshawna and Trent make it to the merge.
** Duncan and Leshawna make it to the final five.

The subject of her death was cleared up by Word Of God- she died in her sleep.


* AmbiguousSituation: It's left intentionally unclear if [[spoiler:Heather]] actually committed suicide or was murdered and suicide was just used as a cover. Additionally, it's left equally unclear if she was [[spoiler:faking her amnesia]].

* FireForgedFriends: Played with regarding the surviving contestants; [[spoiler:Bridgette, Geoff and Duncan are still close and Noah attended the former two's wedding, but Bridgette still doesn't forgive Justin for his actions in the finale and Noah apparently doesn't plan to see the others again anytime soon]].

* NonGameplayElimination: Several contestants die under circumstances other than being formally eliminated and executed. These circumstances include challenge hazards ([[spoiler:Trent]], who fell face-first on a mine, and [[spoiler:Alejandro]], killed by the Psycho Killer with the Hook and Chainsaw during the challenge after accidentally setting him off), suicide ([[spoiler:Heather]], who drowned herself- [[AmbiguousSituation supposedly]]), and being killed whilst attempting to escape ([[spoiler:Harold, who is shot by Chris in an escape attempt]]).

* BreatherEpisode: By this fic's standards, anyways. This time, in lieu of a gruesome execution, the Brunch of Disgustingness challenge instead puts a 3 day cruise and [[spoiler:a 5 minute call with the winning side's parents]] on the line. The subsequent episodes taking place on the day of the cruise focuses on the respective contestants on and off the cruise. This happens just after the merge and before Alejandro and Sierra join the competition.

* EatThat: [[TheStationsOfTheCanon The Brunch of Disgustingness is also in this fic,]] but this time, contestants are dared to eat [[spoiler: boiled bull testicles, live snails topped with vinegar, toe jam on mouldy bread, blended cockroaches, a smoothie consisting of coconut milk, kitchen grease, and mouldy vegetables, uncooked pizza dough with 'a suspicious green sauce', jellyfish, live anchovies and grasshoppers, used tampons in toilet water, spoiled brussel sprouts and spider egg salad, and [[ImAHumanitarian human flesh hot dogs]]]].
