* CubCuesProtectiveParent: The contestants have to collect the eggs that have the same color as their hat. Too bad the eggs come from a pair of condors that are very protective parents. In the second part of the challenge, the contestants have to return the eggs in the nest guarded by the mom condor.

* EyeScream: According to Alejandro, this particular type of condor is known for doing this to predators.
-->'''Heather:''' But I like my eyes.


Added DiffLines:

* {{Imprinting}}: Cody Jr. hatched while Heather was holding the egg, so it keeps trying to rest on her head and nuzzle her. The only ones more irritated about this than Heather are Sierra and the actual mother.


Added DiffLines:

* MamaBear: Upon seeing a rather large condor flying about, Cody and Alejandro realize where the eggs came from and proceed to book it. Chris later tasks the contestants with returning the eggs, adding there are more in the nest and that that means the mama condor will react to intruders appropriately.


Added DiffLines:

* MusicSoothesTheSavageBeast: Chris cues up a song right before the contestants try to return the eggs to the condor's nest. He's rather flippant about whether or not the trope will actually apply. The condor alternates between bopping to the music and knocking contestants out of the nest.


Added DiffLines:

* PragmaticVillainy: In the confessional, Heather admits she'd really like to just mock Sierra for her Cody obsession and not have to listen to anymore of this claptrap, but she really needs an ally to counter Alejandro possibly manipulating Cody.


Added DiffLines:

* TakeThat: When given a catcher's mask as a tool for the next challenge, Alejandro asks if this means they're going to be playing baseball.
-->'''Chris:''' Thankfully, no.
* ThisIsGonnaSuck: Heather when Cody Jr. returns to her in full view of the now very angry mama condor.

Added DiffLines:

* ArtisticLicenseBiology: Chris explains that the female condors are even larger than the males. While this is usually true for birds of prey, both real condor species are rare exceptions, with the males being larger.


Added DiffLines:

* MisplacedWildlife: Zig-zagged. While condors are not found on Easter Island, the condors in the episode appear to be of a fictional species, rather than either of the extant species of real condor. That said, any condor species living on a small island, especially one without indigenous megafauna for them to scavenge, would be extremely unusual.
