* MisplacedWildlife: Alejandro somehow manages to find an ''Allosaurus'' specimen in Alberta, despite the ''Allosaurus'' only being known from the U.S. and Portugal. Several other dinosaurs not found in Canada, such as ''Stegosaurus'' and ''Dilophosaurus'' (both also known from the States), can be seen in the rocks in the background as well.

Compounding it further is that all the abovementioned dinosaurs hail from the Jurassic period, whereas in real life, Alberta's dinosaur fossil record is exclusively Cretaceous.

* DiabolusExMachina: Sierra's elimination could be seen as this, as all contestants by this point became aware of Alejandro's true nature and had the chance to eliminate him, once he didn't had immunity, and that is what would have happened had Sierra not accidentally blown up the plane and made Chris furious to the point of disqualifying her.

Added DiffLines:

* ForgottenBirthday: Cody states last year, his own parents forget his birthday, and so he is touched that Sierra remembered.


Added DiffLines:

* TookALevelInKindness: Throughout the season Sierra's obsession with Cody, such as her [[ForcefulKiss assaulting him with kisses]] and trying to get them married, has constantly made him uncomfortable with her to the point he has constantly tried to vote her off. In this episode though, he is genuinely touched when she remembers it is his birthday, [[ForgottenBirthday when even he forgot]], and he starts working with her to get rid of Alejandro to the point he starts thinking of her as a friend. When he lets her have immunity, she gives him a friendly kiss on the cheek with him giving a smile in return.

Incredibly Lame Pun is a redirect and not a trope by itself.

* ArtisticLicenseEngineering: The gag of the lie detector going off when Heather uses sarcasm. Lie detectors aren't magical machines that flawlessly know whether or not someone is saying something untrue or not. All they test is the spiked heart rate a person often experiences after lying. So, unless you're oddly nervous about your sarcasm (which Heather definitely was not), then the lie detector wouldn't notice anything.

This is lampshaded by Heather herself, when after she is zapped the first time she immediately shouts at Chris that sarcasm isn't a lie.
