* In the third elimination episode, it is absolutely heartbreaking to see Jerry and Mike go on about having to choose who to eliminate, since both [[spoiler:Lexxy and Tavis]] have performed so well. Mike even goes on a TurnOffTheCamera-inducing rant about how there are other artists in the house that are much worse than the two contenders who would deserve to go home more. In the end, they make their choice, but [[HeartwarmingMoments cannot bring themselves to destroy the printout of the loser's strip]] like they would usually do.

Playing with the wording a tiny bit.


* From nearly the beginning of the show, Amy Falcone seemed to be the only contestant without RealityShowGenreBlindness -- to give the two most obvious examples, she put Katie against Alex in the first episode because she figured that Alex would lose and she could mend fences with Katie relatively easily and she sandbagged on the Website/{{Twitter}} challenge (including no humor at all in her tweets) in order to avoid attracting attention by doing too well. Partly as a result, she becomes extremely depressed when Lexxy returns in [[http://penny-arcade.com/strip-search/episode/game-on Ep. 14]] -- that event ''utterly violates all reality-show rules.'' And she realized, talking to Tavis the next day, that she had walled a part of herself off from the rest of the people there by approaching the game that way, ending with a tear-filled ConfessionCam.
