----
!!Tropes:
* BreadEggsMilkSquick: The Trouts begin gathering the weapons Chris provided, and then Scary Girl calls dibs on a jackhammer that Chef left lying around.
* CannotTellFictionFromReality: Wayne and Raj think that because Nichelle didn't actually stop an alien invasion, the aliens are still coming for Earth.
* CompanionCube: Scary Girl keeps the skull from the challenge, even after she leaves the island.
* DiggingYourselfDeeper: Priya tries winning Scary Girl over to her alliance, only to keep pissing her off. To make matters worse, Zee steps in to help her, which has the unintended effect of completing the grave that Scary Girl is all too willing to bury Priya in.
* DivingSave: Bowie saves Raj from a boulder this way. [[RescueRomance It leads to a rather flirty moment between the two]].
* ExorcistHead: At multiple times throughout the episode, Scary Girl demonstrates the ability to turn her head 180 degrees.
* FacialHorror: Priya, after she finally gets the plunger off her face.
* {{Fartillery}}: Ripper uses a fan to send his farts in the direction of the Frogs, smoking them out of their hiding spot.
* TheGreatestStoryNeverTold: MK finds the controls for the shields in the boathouse, using them to mess with the enemy team and aid her own. Unfortunately for her, the others (except Emma, who she talked with through the speakers) think she ditched the challenge and hid the whole time.
* HumanShield: Ripper uses Priya as a shield to plow through a fire hose, plungers, and even a large boulder.
* ImpliedDeathThreat: Scary Girl gives off this line as she approaches the Frogs while riding a jackhammer:
-->'''Scary Girl:''' Who wants to be my first crush?
* JerkassHasAPoint: Sure, Ripper got Priya maimed by using her as a HumanShield, but he did almost win the challenge for his team, and would have assured victory if it wasn't for Scary Girl deciding to give the skull a makeover instead of just handing it over to Chris.
* LampshadeHanging: MK questions if the show screens the contestants before selecting them after seeing Scary Girl attempting to murder others with a jackhammer, which she later comes to a conclusion after seeing her confessionals: no. This is a question that should've been asked over a decade ago seeing how the show has casted people like [[AxCrazy Izzy]], [[StalkerWithACrush Sierra]], [[TheMentallyDisturbed Mike]], [[PsychopathicWomanchild Amy]], [[BigBadWannabe Max]], [[EvilGenius Scarlett]], [[LoveMakesYouEvil Dave]], and [[{{Sadist}} Sugar]].
* LeaningOnTheFourthWall: Wayne and Raj are moping over Nichelle's stunts being faked, to which MK tells them that they shouldn't assume that everything they see on TV is real. Wayne and Raj realize that they're currently on TV, giving them an [[DumbJock existential crisis]].
* LesserOfTwoEvils: Millie feels this way when she betrays her alliance to get [[NightmareFuelStationAttendant Scary Girl]] voted off over [[JerkAss Ripper]].
* MessyMaggots: The campers' breakfast has visible, moving maggots.
* TheMillstone: Zee blasts Emma with the fire hose after she grabbed the skull, sending her straight to Chris and winning the challenge for the Frogs.
* NoGoodDeedGoesUnpunished: Damien pretends he didn't see MK and claims she's gone when she's finally managed to find a hiding spot after Scary Girl's been chasing after her with a jack harmer. Not only the suggestion to go after someone else ends with Scary Girl chasing after him, but when he finds a hiding spot, MK, having gained control of the traps, blows his cover.
* OminousVisualGlitch: Scary Girl causes one in an inexplicably darkened confessional.
* OrganTheft: Scary Girl now knows everyone's names, which is good in case she needs an organ...
* TheReveal: Wayne reveals to the audience that he knows Raj is gay.
* ShipTease: Bowie and Raj share a moment after the DivingSave mentioned above.
* SkewedPriorities: Scary Girl costs her team the challenge when she takes the skull aside for a makeover, giving Emma enough time to get the other skull to Chris. This is what gets Scary Girl voted out in the end.
* TeamKiller: Scary Girl starts chasing Damien with the jackhammer, saying that his screaming is too delicious for her to pass up even though they're on the same team.
* VoiceOfTheLegion: Scary Girl's voice becomes distorted as she swears vengeance on her teammates for her elimination.
