** It's a common rumor that Lindsay was intended to win ''Action'', but her [[Creator/StephanieAnneMills voice actress]] got a new job offer and was unable to record any more lines so they had to scrap it. There's no proof of this and the fact that Lindsay still has lines in the finale runs counter to her actress being unavailable. It has never been officially confirmed by any source, yet fans often spread it around like gospel.

* FakeAustralian: Creator/CoryDoran voices Mike's alternate personality Manitoba Smith, who is Australian.

* AccidentallyCorrectWriting: As contentious as the show's portrayal of [[SplitPersonality Dissociative Identity Disorder]] is, some aspects of the portrayal reflect some less well-known aspects of the disorder, such as the presence of a headspace. While Mike [[spoiler:deleting his alters while retaining some of their skills]] is pretty cartoonish, it does resemble the concept of [[https://did-research.org/treatment/integration.html integration,]] where a system learns to integrate into one being (though it's obviously a much more lengthy and complex process than [[spoiler:pushing a button]].)

** After ''Revenge of the Island'' finished airing, many fans were correct about the next season having first and second generation contestants competing together.
** Fans were also correct about Sky and Shawn being finalists.
