* ShoutOut:
** This episode has multiple to ''Film/CastAway'', such as nearly identical names, a plot of getting lost on a deserted island, a character making a friendship with a round inanimate object with a red face painted on the front and a small tuft of grass serving as hair that cause their owners' mental instability and they both are thrown into the sea at the end.
** Gwen, Duncan, and Heather running out of the water is a direct reference to ''WesternAnimation/ScoobyDoo'', even using the same sound effect.
** The conch shell that Chef blows into and the campers dressing up as warriors and becoming practically savage are both references to ''Literature/LordOfTheFlies''.
** The pterodactyl gives off a ''Franchise/{{Godzilla}} roar.
** Duncan's makeup closely resembles that worn by Gene Simmons of the band ''Music/{{Kiss}}''.
** In the elimination ceremony, Chris mentions valuable lessons the campers learned in the past day, similarly to what's done in ''Series/{{Survivor}}''.
** Owen tells Mr. Coconut that he'll "[[Film/{{Titanic}} never let go]]".

Added DiffLines:

* KidnappedWhileSleeping: Chris orders rain to plague the Final Four with boredom. Instead, so much rain falls that the entire camp drifts away. Duncan awakens in his floating cabin, Heather and Gwen awaken in their floating bunk bed, and Owen finally is done in the confessional when he realizes it's gotten afloat. The result is that they're stranded in the middle of nowhere. Chris rolls with the situation and lets the contestants figure out their own survival as the day's challenge.

Added DiffLines:

* ThisMeansWarpaint: Owen is very quick to pick up a stereotypical tribal look, including body paint, when he thinks he's stranded in the wild. He meets up with the other three contestants soon enough and together they spot smoke in the distance. Because they don't know who they're dealing with, Owen makes them all wear warpaint so that they look threatening just in case. He himself doesn't apply warpaint because he's already got the body paint and a skull-shaped helmet. All the brouhaha is dropped the moment the source of the smoke is discovered to be just Chris and Chef.

Added DiffLines:

* AirQuotes: In utter frustration over her fellow contestants' wackiness, Heather states that at least she's got her "game on". Gwen repeats the last two words with air quotes in matching frustration that no one realizes their situation is too dire to still think of it as a game.

* MisplacedVegetation: Lampshaded. Chef questions what palm trees and coconuts are doing in northern Ontario. Chris says they're leftover props from a dinosaur movie that they reused to save money. It's not like [[Film/MontyPythonAndTheHolyGrail swallows did it]].

* MisplacedVegetation: Lampshaded. None of the Final Four notice that wherever they're stranded, it can hardly be thought of as the middle of nowhere considering there are plants in pots all around. What's more, they're mostly plants not native to the area, such as coconut palms, pineapple plants, and banana trees. Chef questions what is the only one to express confusion, as he asks why there are palm trees and coconuts are doing in northern Northern Ontario. Chris says answers that they're leftover props from a dinosaur movie shoot that they reused to save money. It's not like [[Film/MontyPythonAndTheHolyGrail swallows did it]].

* BreakTheHaughty: Heather is sincerely terrified over Duncan and Gwen leaving her alone on the island with all sorts of dangers. Less so in the confessional, where she simply milks it for sympathy.


Added DiffLines:

* {{Confessional}}: In this particular case, Owen gets to talking in the outhouse about various bad things he had done and confesses to get them off his chest. He spends all night doing it and feels great. Later when the others worry about getting killed, Owen suggests they also do this, leading to the items in NoodleIncident being referenced.
