** What doesn't help is that Blue, [[ReplacementScrappy the character replacing Derwin]], generally acts like a smug JerkAss in his first appearance, insulting Derwin about being traded to another team and getting into a fight with him. He and the girl replacing Melanie go through an especially irritating case of WillTheyOrWontThey.

* {{Narm}}: The scene when Tasha broke up with Rick Fox by singing Rihanna's "Take A Bow". No, really. It was meant to be a SugarWiki/MomentOfAwesome (highlighted by the men recording the break-up), but instead comes off as really silly, coming from a forty-something woman.

Up To Eleven is a defunct trope


* TheyChangedItNowItSucks: A common complaint since the BET revival, which underwent noticeable chances from the CW seasons. This is [[UpToEleven magnified with season six]], after the show's producers [[PutOnABus let go of the main couple]], Derwin and Melanie, which almost every fan thought was a terrible idea.

** Derwin in season one when he kissed the video vixen, Drew Sidora, and now in season four, by accusing his wife of [[spoiler: getting an abortion]]. Even assuming that it's true, it's still a horrible accustion.

* BrokenBase: The opinions of season four. Fans either thought the season was uneven but still pretty good, or absolutely awful. [[AvertedTrope Thoughts on the season ending, however...]]
* HilariousInHindsight: [[Series/TheSteveHarveyShow Regina Greer]] a KarmaHoudini who basically personifies TheUnfairSex finally got her LaserGuidedKarma as Tasha Mack.
* MoralEventHorizon: Pretty much every character crossed this at least once.
** Derwin in season one when he kissed the video vixen, Drew Sidora, and now in season four, by accusing his wife of [[spoiler: getting an abortion]]. Even assuming that it's true, it's still a horrible accustion.
*** Though it's not like that last one was baseless; he only asked after a doctor brought it up and he gauged her reaction.
*** Worse still when he [[spoiler: deliberately misses a tackle and allows the rookie Sabers quarterback to take a seriously bad hit, resulting in an injury that might've ended his career - and then denied it when he was called out on it.]] [[ConvictedByPublicOpinion Though on that one]], [[LaserGuidedKarma he paid for it.]]
** Jason crossed this multiple times in season two - like blaming Kelly's druggie brother for the mysterious syringe that came from Jason's steroid usage, then later claiming that Kelly's diminished attractiveness caused his erectile dysfunction when it was the steroids, and even after admitting to the steroids, he kept using them longer than he promised - but he took the cake when he made Kelly dress up like a stripper to get a late contract for another NFL team.
** Malik in season four. He screwed his best friend's girlfriend, the Sabers owner's wife, drove behind the wheel while drunk and then attacked the officer who pulled him over. He was too unbearable for even his most supportive teammates and even Tasha.
** Melanie's paranoia often gets the best of her, though fabricating a DNA test to get Derwin's baby mama away from him was a pretty shitty thing to do.
** Kelly when she punched Tasha in the face. While the act's understandable, she's not really known for being violent. And then Kelly started lowering her own standards to air a reality TV show.
** Tasha just can't keep a man, but when she continually sabotages every good relationship she has, it's hard to sympathize.
* {{Narm}}: The scene when Tasha broke up with Rick Fox by singing Rihanna's "Take A Bow". No, really. It was meant to be a SugarWiki/MomentOfAwesome (highlighted by the men recording the break-up), but instead comes off as really silly, coming from a forty-something woman.
** And that's why it comes off as a SugarWiki/{{Funny Moment|s}}.

* TheScrappy: Not many fans are fond of Brandy's character, Chardonnay, during season five. It doesn't help that the way her and Jason initially got together was extremely contrived.

* TooBleakStoppedCaring: Any time a character in this show finds happiness, or comes close to it, they always sabotage themselves and end up ''right'' back where they started, and there's enough DysfunctionJunction to make the viewer wonder how any of these people are still speaking to each other.
* TheUntwist: [[spoiler:Conrad tells Nicholas he's signing him up for an immersive game as a birthday present... which turns out to be a con to steal all of Nicholas's money... which turns out to actually be an immersive birthday game all along.]]
