** {{Inverted|Trope}} with Dave. In this story, Dave was voted off first by his teammates for being a jerk. [[spoiler:It is later revealed that he was a jerk because he had a bad day prior to the start of the show, which did not improve during the two days he spent on the island. Despite that, it is implied that things did improve for him after he arrived at the Playa des Losers, and he enjoys the rest of his stay there. It is also shown that Dave is on good terms with the other castmates that were voted off. Compared to what happened in canon, with Dave suffering painful humiliation, being rejected by his love interest, and finally losing his sanity and being abandoned on the island, being voted off first was probably the best for him.]]
* AdaptationalJerkass: Dave's positive traits are ignored in favor of making him a one-dimensional jerk, justifying his much earlier elimination, and right before the rest of the team starts bonding with Sammy. [[spoiler: {{Subverted|Trope}} however, Sammy later learns from Amy at Playa de Losers that Dave just happened to be having a bad day when he arrived on the show, which ended up not getting better in the two days he was there. She finds him to be much more approachable when they speak again.]]

** [[spoiler:When Sammy arrives at Playa de Losers, Leonard turns out to be far less of a CloudCuckoolander than the series paints him as. Not only does he in fact turn out to be a super-friendly guy, but he displays a broad range of nerdy interests, including a deep passion for video games, and manages to become good friends with Beardo.]]

The story details what would happen if Sammy, thanks to Sugar stealing the parachute meant for her in the first episode, ended up on Team Maskwak rather than Kinosewak in canon. It focuses mainly on Sammy's CharacterDevelopment from a [[ShrinkingViolet meek doormat]] to [[GrewASpine an outgoing, friendly and assertive individual]], while also taking the opportunity to develop both [[SpoiledBrat her sister Amy]] and [[AllLovingHeroine fellow Maskwak teammate Ella]].

** Ella gets in on the development halfway through the story. She chooses to abandon her princess-esque habits and to start properly acting her age once it becomes clear that her continually doing them is more harmful than not.

** [[spoiler: Amy goes from being a one-dimensional plot device for Sammy and essentially becomes her own character - she starts off as a bully to her sister and anyone she doesn't like, slowly becomes less hostile towards others as the story progresses, and near the end of it declares that she no longer wants to be a brat and wants to be better.]]

* ReformedButNotTamed: [[spoiler: Amy may be trying to be a better person by the time the island's self-destruct sequence starts, and it clearly shows, but she hasn't become a different person on the spot. She demonstrates this by using her demanding attitude against Chris, and is still sassy to anyone and everyone, though at the same time is much less hostile to them.]]

** [[spoiler: Amy goes from being a one-dimensional plot device for Sammy into her own character - she starts off as a bully to her sister and anyone she doesn't like, slowly becomes less hostile towards others as the story progresses, and near the end of it declares that she no longer wants to be a brat and wants to be better.]]
