'''Victoria is the Best...[=WordGirl=]?:'''

to:

'''Victoria is the Best...[=WordGirl=]?:'''
[=WordGirl=]?:''' When Scoops comes to the mistaken conclusion that Victoria Best is [=WordGirl=], the villainess decides to go with it. This part's associated vocabulary words are "mistaken" and "fib".




to:

* BadBadActing:
** [=WordGirl=] when enacting her emergency plan #421.
--->'''[=WordGirl=]:''' Oh no! Huggy is for some strange reason suddenly frozen! How unexpected and interesting!
** She does it again when she agrees with Scoops that [=WordGirl=]'s secret identity is still a secret. He asks why she's talking like that.
* BodyWipe: When Scoops asks himself if Victoria Best is [=WordGirl=], the camera dramatically zooms in on his face. When it zooms back out, he's at school with Becky next to him.
* CassandraTruth: Becky keeps trying to convince everyone Victoria Best isn't [=WordGirl=], but nobody believes her even when she actually ''is'' in her [=WordGirl=] identity.
* TheCollector: Downplayed. After pinning [=WordGirl=] and Captain [=HuggyFace=] to the wall, Victoria decides to keep them as her new trophies, but it's mainly as a way to keep them out of the way rather than her primary goal.
* DidntThinkThisThrough: Victoria failed to realise that if you're going to impersonate a superhero, sooner or later you're going to be expected to fight villains.
* DramaticIrony: When Tim and TJ are discussing the "news" that Victoria is actually [=WordGirl=], Tim says that if his daughter was [=WordGirl=], he'd be the proudest dad in the world. Little does he know that his daughter actually ''is'' [=WordGirl=].
* GrapesOfLuxury: While visiting the [=WordGirl=] fanclub, Victoria is reclining on a divan and being fed grapes by Johnson.
* InstantFanClub: Victoria gets one after falsely claiming to be [=WordGirl=]. Being [[AlphaBitch Victoria Best]], she's much happier about it than most over-night examples.
* KarmaHoudini: Even after having her lie exposed, Victoria is ''still'' surrounded by admiring students, having switched tracks to calling herself the best fibber in the world instead.
* LastSecondWordSwap: After Bob barely stops Becky from blurting out in anger that she's [=WordGirl=], she finishes her sentence by saying she's going to her room instead.
* MistakenIdentity: After Scoops sees [=WordGirl=] rounding a corner and then Victoria emerging from it, he thinks Victoria is [=WordGirl=]'s secret identity.
* RuleOfThree: After capturing [=WordGirl=], Victoria gets three visitors. The first two are concerned citizens asking her to fight crime, whom she turns away. The third is Dr. Two-Brains.
* ShoutOut: Victoria hooks up her recorder to a guitar amplifier and knocks [=WordGirl=] and [=HuggyFace=] back. She then gloats, "[[Film/{{Babe}} That'll do, notes. That'll do.]]"
* SpinningPaper: Scoops's article about Victoria Best being [=WordGirl=] does this.

'''Tell Her What She's Won!:''' After the suspicious disappearance of Beau Handsome, Seymour Orlando Smooth takes his place as host of "May I Have a Word?". This part's associated vocabulary words are "bombard" and "emcee".

'''Victoria is the Best...[=WordGirl=]?:'''

----
!!"Tell Her What She's Won!" contains the following tropes:
* ByNoIMeanYes: This exchange when Seymour intends to play a game with a trapped [=WordGirl=].
-->'''[=WordGirl=]:''' Is this going to be unfair and totally rigged?\\
'''Seymour:''' No, but it might be unfair and totally rigged.
* ContinuityNod: Great Granny May from the episode of the same name and Timmy Tim-Bo from "Villain School" appear as some of the people watching Seymour's live broadcast.
* DrivenByEnvy: This is Seymour's motivation. He's envious of how successful Beau is as an emcee.
* GenreSavvy: When Seymour traps [=WordGirl=] in a room and announces that they're going to play "Go Away, the gameshow that no one wins", she asks if it's going to be rigged.
* HypocriticalHumor: Seymour mocks Beau for being vain while being in a room with pictures of himself plastered on the walls that he finds it extremely difficult to leave.
* IronicEcho: Efter Seymour loses the emcee-off, [=WordGirl=] tricks him into saying "I am not a winner" the same way he did to her earlier in the episode.
* ItsTheBestWhateverEver: When it's revealed that Seymour's game with [=WordGirl=] is being broadcast live, we cut to an excited Mrs. Botsford, who says that it's going to be the best gameshow ever.
* TheLastOfTheseIsNotLikeTheOthers: When [=WordGirl=] has to choose between three doors to open, the camera zooms in behind them to reveal that the first hides a panther, the second a polar bear and three crocodiles, and the third a very fight-eager squirrel.
* LiteralMinded: When a suspicious [=WordGirl=] says that something smells funny, Captain [=HuggyFace=] holds his nose.
* LookBehindYou: Seymour does this to get away from [=WordGirl=] when she confronts him about his sudden appearance on "May I Have a Word?".
* SensoryAbuse: In-universe example. When [=WordGirl=] and Captain [=HuggyFace=] follow a trail of hair gel left by Seymour through a panel, they're bombarded by blinking lights and loud music.
* ShowWithinAShow: The "May I Have a Word?" segment that shows up after each part in the show makes an appearance as an in-universe gameshow, with another monkey filling in for Captain [=HuggyFace=].
* SuspiciouslySpecificDenial: When Seymour is filling in for the missing Beau Handsome, he makes sure to inform the audience that the previous host's disappearance has nothing to do with anything bad he's done.
* TemptingFate: After being told the rules for the game she has to play with Seymour, [=WordGirl=] happily states that they don't sound unfair and totally rigged like she was promised. That's before she hears the questions.
* TwinkleSmile: Seymour uses an exaggerated version of this to try to escape from [=WordGirl=] after his plan is foiled. Unfortunately for him, Beau literally outshines him.
