Tropes in this episode

  • Big "NO!": Looma's reaction when she loses the race.
  • The Bus Came Back: Several female characters return for this episode.
  • Call-Back: To surprisingly, Girl Trouble, with Sunny being one of the contestants and Antonio being Esther’s new beau.
  • Even Evil Has Standards: Charles Zenith willingly removes all the prospective contestants who are already married/related to Ben.
  • Foreshadowing: Charles Zenith’s dislike for friendly competition and habit of referring to drama with food references hints at how he feeds on drama.
  • Relationship Upgrade: Ben and Kai formally establish a relationship here.
  • Shout-Out: The second round of the show is a clear reference to Hole in the Wall.
  • Skewed Priorities: Deliberately invoked for laughs by Julie, who spends her time on the show texting rather than taking part, resulting in her own elimination.
  • Snap Back: Jennifer Nocturne once more has her shallow Dumb Blonde appearance and personality, as opposed to the more troubled and complex character she became in Catch A Falling Star.
  • Stating the Simple Solution: As the whole of the contestant group prepares to charge the Waybad, Rook appears through a Null Void portal, which Ben points to.
  • Tuckerization: Charles Zenith is a Pugnavore, a species named for writer Thomas Pugsley.
  • Unexplained Recovery:
    • Celes Vreedle is among the contestants, despite being blown apart in Vreedlemania.
    • She-Worst shows up no worse for wear after being eaten by a Slamworm.
