* HeroicBSOD -- Taylor spends the bulk of the first episode of season 2 just sitting there after [[spoiler: discovering their camp destroyed.]]
* HiddenDepths: Over the course of the series, many characters show depths the others didn't expect to find. "Troubled" Jackson proves to be a fine leader who guides the group throughout much of season one since he leads by serving, Taylor shows her GeniusDitz side and grows beyond her selfishness, Melissa proves competent in a crisis (and she is one of the softer characters), Lex functions as kind of a little brother to Jackson and provides the group with designs to keep them going, Nathan keeps up everyone's spirit and grows beyond his insecurities relating to his competition with Daley, and even [[{{Jerkass}} Eric]] proves to be a dependable friend in a crisis.
* {{Jerkass}} -- Eric is pretty much Jerkass ''incarnate!''
* JerkWithAHeartOfGold: Eric - sometimes. He does have a heart under his assholeness.
* LargeHam -- Eric as a prosecutor.
-->'''Jackson:''' Eric! ''Get over yourself!''
* LastNameBasis: Jackson [[spoiler: It is revealed that his first name is Cody.]]
* LoveTriangle: Melissa likes Jackson, Jackson appears to likes Taylor, Taylor likes Jackson. [[spoiler: Melissa and Jackson are implied to end up together in the TheMovie though.]]
* MoodWhiplash: The episode "Good Luck Abby" which switches from Abby's trials in search of the others to the more lighthearted group at camp to brutal levels.
* TheMovie: The made for TV movie that ended the series, called ''The Hotel Tango''.
* NeverSayDie
* NiceHat -- Mostly Eric's fedora, but just about everyone has one.
* NoHuggingNoKissing
* ObfuscatingStupidity -- Taylor's actually smarter than she lets on.
* PunnyName: "Abby Normal" = Abnormal, which is how Abby behaves when she returns to the group in her first eponymous focus episode.
* ShipTease: Of the three main core couples, Jackson/Melissa, Nathan/Daley and Eric/Taylor. Taylor having moments with Jackson at times leads to ship warring, since it's pretty clear to everyone that Jackson/Melissa and Nathan/Daley are endgame but the writers can't resist the teases.
* TakeAThirdOption -- When the kids try to decide whether the leader should be Daley or Nathan, Jackson wins.
* TroubledButCute -- Jackson
* TrueCompanions -- "Club 29 Down." They'll bicker and fight, but they would and do risk their lives for each other.
* {{UST}}: A pervasive element in any of Jackson and Melissa's interactions with each other. Adding Jackson's UST with Taylor into the mix only makes things worse at times.
