Added DiffLines:

* WhamEpisode:
** Season 1 Episode 11 is a classic example. Black attacked Lavender's points, resulting in one of his biggest allies getting eliminated. Also, after this point, 9 of the 10 contestants were in either Black's or Lavender's alliances.
** Season 2 Episode 5 expands on the Smile Dogs' plot a LOT by showing them forging an alliance with Yvan, who burns GGB's control room down.
** The roleplays when compared to the normal episodes. While there's storytelling in the normal episodes, it's not the only focus of the videos (mainly because there are still challenges to be done). Unlike the roleplays.
