    Fridge Brilliance 

  • Season 1: Tim and Andrea's roles - the Mobster and the Fixer (person who makes usually illegal arrangements) - compliment each other perfectly, especially when they are Platonic Life-Partners. Remember, he kills people, she covers it up.

  • Season 1: Why would the group constantly put Matt and Lele in the same group while searching for clues? Every time they join forces, they end up bickering, which causes the group to lose valuable time. Matt and Lele probably wanted to be together so that they could keep an eye on each other. Remember, they each thought the other one was The Mole.

  • Season 3: Matt and Nikita's roles - The Detective and The Troublemaker - compliment each other perfectly especially the fact that they are rivals and manage to escape together. Remember, she causes trouble, he stops it.

  • Season 4 Episode 3: The final challenge involves the group opening scrolls which contains a message which either gives you more coins or takes some coins away. Timothy’s scroll reads 'make someone give away half their coins, none of them can go to you'. Tana suggest he chooses Colleen, who has the most coins. Timothy says that that would make the most sense and makes Colleen give away half her coins. At first glance, this might be a good idea, but when you start to think about it, it would’ve been smarter to make the person with the second lowest amount give away half their coins. That way the person with the second-lowest amount would almost certainly go into the challenge and the other players wouldn’t gain that many coins. In other words, Timothy could’ve been safe from the challenge, had he ignored Tana’s advice.
    • Earlier in episode 3, the group is split up into two, one half goes to heaven, the other towards hell. The group going to heaven consists of Alex, Bretman, Colleen, Joey and Rosanna. The group going to hell consists of DeStorm, Gabbie, Tana and Timothy.

    Fridge Horror 
  • All Seasons: the survivors would live, traumatized by their actions and possibly have Survivor Guilt. Meanwhile, the loved ones of the deceased would have lost a family member/friend/romantic partner...
    • To make matters worse, due to being taken out of time, the loved ones of the deceased have no idea what happened to them. They just left one day and were never seen again. In some ways that’s worse than knowing the details.
  • All Seasons: if the show actually happened in real life...
  • Season 1: Justine was Buried Alive. On average, it takes 5 hours for all of the air in a coffin to be used up...so basically it took 'em that long to die. Damn. No wonder she's after Tim's wig in Season 4.
  • Season 2: Jesse voted for Alex in Episode 2. What if it was Alex that was voted in with Lauren?
  • Season 2: The Helm of Obedience in general. As Tana said, the wearer had NO CONTROL over their actions: they had to follow the Helm's voice's orders or get killed.
    • What if Joey was told not to kill the first man he saw from the porch, but to shoot one of his fellow YouTubers? Would he have chosen to do it, or would he have refused?
    • It has also been implied on the Fan Wiki that the voice of the Helm of Obedience is that of the Cursed God.
      • Season 3 makes this much more explicit with the Collar of Control.
  • Season 3: Both Manny and Colleen voted for Matt in Episode 4. What if Matt was voted in with Rosanna?
  • Season 3: Both Matt and Colleen had announced they had babies on the way going into the show. And then they got killed in Epsiodes 5 and 6 respectively, with Matt's son having been born just days before Episode 5 to boot. Thankfully, Colleen was confirmed to not be pregnant during filming and Matt was brought Back from the Dead.
