%% * AllGirlsWantBadBoys: Nic believes this, and tries to use this trope to his advantage when flirting with the girls (and ultimately failing).
%% * AllLoveIsUnrequited: It certainly is for lots of the male cast - Nic, Arthur, and Tolkien at the very least.
%% * AlphaBitch: This story interestingly has ''three'' characters who could be considered this trope: Chelsey, who's more of a LovableAlphaBitch, Layla, who's a DefrostingIceQueen and RichBitch, and then Elena, who's played completely straight to the point of parody.
%% * AmbiguouslyBrown: Arthur and Chelsey, though according to WordOfGod, Arthur is biracial while Chelsey is Cuban (as well as deeply tanned).

%% ** Arthur and Trey, which is mutual, as well as Chelsey and Elena.

%% * BelligerentSexualTension:

%% ** Helga name-drops this trope when discussing Chrissy and Nic's interactions.

%% * BigBad: Like most of the author's stories, there's not a clearly-defined villain, but once the merge hits, [[spoiler: Trey fits the bill, for the second time since ''Tiki Jungle''.]]

%% * ConfessionCam: The bathroom confessional returns for this story.

%% * CornerOfWoe: Trey often uses the corner to cradle himself in the fetal position in his free time.

* EarlyInstallmentWeirdness: The story was written over the course of four years, with various hiatuses taken in between. As a result, the first few chapters are written in a different style than the rest, and include much more unbalanced screentime (thanks to a small SpotlightStealingSquad), awkward syntax, and immature jokes.

%% * FanDisservice: Devin walks around nude a few times. Also, Arthur appears in drag more than once.
%% * FauxYay: Trey comes up with this scheme so he can create alliances with the female contestants, notably FagHag Chelsey.

-->'''Wolfgang:''' "Okay, Flora’s love for adorable and happy things is SERIOUSLY gross. But I dunno, man, it’s so hard to get mad at her!
