** Feed Me Lies and Toxic Treats from S1 are good examples, as only one saboteur ever actually won each and stayed undetected.
** Camp Fear in Series 2 had every saboteur trapped.

* PopCultureUrbanLegends: No, the Voice wasn't played by Lynda Baron (AKA Auntie Mabel from ''Come Outside''). Oddly enough the intended point- noting the irony of an evil witch and a pleasant old lady being played by the same actor- still works since the Voice's ''actual'' voice actor, Eve Karpf, played the equally maternal Weed from ''WesternAnimation/BillAndBenTheFlowerPotMen'' and Madame Owl from ''WesternAnimation/PabloTheLittleRedFox''.

Rapunzel Hair is currently a cut trope


** Split Ends, from Ever After. Her RapunzelHair not only covers her face, but is spread all across the room like an a spider-web, keeping her trapped in her chair, unable to move. Should an Unfortunate remove the wrong ribbon from her locks, she'll ''scream'' in pain.

The whole show could be considered this.concept is playfully disturbing. Children accidentally get themselves whisked away to somewhere strange where they're forced to stab each other in the back for a chance to escape. Though the contestants are never ''actually'' distraught, some of them comment that they're going to miss their families.
** No matter how many Unfortunates get trapped in a room, they're always gone by the time the room is played again. Some games involve wolves, monsters, and man-eating snakes, [[NothingIsScarier some don't.]]
** A lot of games involve an actress ''shrieking'' at the Unfortunates.
