* EnsembleDarkhorse: The energetic, emotive, and well-dressed Luca was this even when he auditioned for and was cut from US Season 3, and it only escalated when he returned and was a contestant in Season 4, to the point where he may have the biggest fandom for any contestant that season.

* BaseBreaker: US Season Three's Monti Carlo was this to a certain extent, as fans generally either saw her as a brilliant underdog or as not deserving of a place in the competition (fans of Ryan and Tali especially tended to take the latter position).

** Season 3's Josh was also seen as one. The judges constantly praised his food knowledge even if he didn't have one of the best dishes in challenges, and he was brought back despite a dish that just, at least to viewers, did not compare to others. The judges continued to sing praises about his knowledge, despite his landing in the bottom quite constanty since he was brought back, and strong contenders Monti, Frank and Becky got eliminated over him, getting him to the final 2.

* AdaptationDisplacement: Anyone remember the ''original'' original UK series? Similar in principle (almost an incredibly placid gameshow in comparison really) but significantly before any of the RealityShow genre clichés were even created making it much more sedate but also a more straightforward A to B path in terms of finding a winner without the need of emotional manipulation.

* AdaptationDisplacement: Anyone remember the ''original'' original UK series? Similar Billing itself as "the grand prix of amateur chefs", the show then was similar in principle (almost an incredibly placid gameshow to the remake where three chefs cooking in comparison really) but colour coded "kitchens" would serve three courses of their devising. Hosted by Lloyd Grossman (who lended it a very fancy upmarket feel), it was significantly before any of more sedate than the current version to the point it could be called an adaptation InNameOnly. The show pre-dated most RealityShow genre clichés were even created making it much more sedate but also being firmly in the 90s and was a lot more straightforward A to B path in terms of finding a winner with chefs being judged entirely on food quality without the need of viewer emotional manipulation. Of course this does lead manipulation or celebrity personalities, a simpler time if you like. The sad thing is it's near impossible to find episodes and it has led to a version of SequelDisplacement for those entirely unfamiliar with it, so much so that not one example refers none of the examples for this show refer to it besides this one.
