Tropes:

  • Big Damn Heroes:
    • Saison quickly comes to Brittnay's and Deandra's rescue by getting Mackenzie.
    • Liam Neeson shoots the French models dead, just as they're about to shoot the current Team USA members.
  • Connected All Along: As it turned out, the Liam Neeson guy who kept asking people if they'd seen his daughter is in fact the father of one of the missing models.
  • Cool and Unusual Punishment: Deandra being force-fed healthy food by Team France.
  • Cry into Chest: Kim does this as her father, Liam Neeson, hugs her.
  • The Dog Bites Back: Shay lampshades her Butt-Monkey status and betrays Team USA when they try to have her as their final model.
  • Fight Scene: One of the most beautifully animated one in the series thus far takes place.
  • Game-Breaking Injury: During the fight, Brittnay has her leg broken, leaving Team USA with no more main members able to do the final runway walk.
  • Hoist by His Own Petard: After spending the entire season mocking Shay when she tried to help them several times beforehand, Mackenzie and the rest of the team are left with no one but themselves to blame when she tells them to fuck off in a moment of crisis.
  • Ironic Echo: "Sounds like someone who deserves a whole lot of trust, eh Brittnay?" pops up twice.
  • Jerkass Has a Point: Shay is just as catty and selfish as most of the female cast and spends most of Season 5 trying to muscle her way into the USA modeling team, but you can't quite blame her for refusing to help Team USA after how cruelly they rebuffed her, only to later ask her to join as a last resort. She also points out once she helped them win they would go right back to treating her like garbage.
  • Heartbeat Soundtrack: Appears as Deandra pleads Chloe and Zoe to not feed her a kale salad.
  • Hope Spot: Shay turns her back on Team USA just when they need her the most.
  • Luck-Based Search Technique: Invoked, lampshaded, parodied, and then finally played straight when Saison and Mackenzie try to find the way to get into the Secret Underground Passage. The button turns out to be on top of a fire hydrant.
    Mackenzie: That's how you usually find a secret passage. You just give up and then you lean on something, and it usually opens...
  • Papa Wolf: The Liam Neeson guy shoots Team France dead after discovering they've been holding his daughter captive for months.
  • Potty Failure: The reason why Tanner woke up in Than's bed without any pants was because the former had pissed himself that night.
  • Raging Stiffie: Than at the Nude Beach, once again.
  • Screw This, I'm Outta Here: Subverted with Saison; she merely ran away from the fight to get the attention of Liam Neeson.
  • Sickening "Crunch!": When Brittnay's leg gets broken.
  • Ship Sinking: As it turns out, Than and Tanner did not have sex after all, prompting Tanner to try to give his relationship with Tristan another chance. Cue Thanner being filled with holes.
  • Stealth Pun: Mackenzie opens up the Secret Passage by sitting on top of a button on a fire hydrant.
  • Strange Minds Think Alike: Shay and Cameron make the same joke about Brittnay breaking her leg after sucking a guy's dick.
    Brittnay: I swear to God this fucking family.
  • Throw the Dog a Bone:
    • Shay calls out Team USA on their bullshit and lampshades on all the abuse that she has been getting throughout the season.
    • Rachel gets her chance to try to be the final model Team USA needs.
  • Wham Line:
    • When Tanner finds out what actually went down the night everyone got drunk:
      Than: Uh... Tanner, we didn't have sex that night. I think I would remember the greatest night of my life.
    • When Mackenzie asks Shay to join Team USA:
      Shay: Well, when you put it that way... NO!!!
