** 12-Pack running gag of being questioned whether he's a good fit for New York became even more hilarious when in the other dating show he was on, ''Daisy of Love'', he not only became a fan favorite but was voted by the other contestants in the penultimate episode that he should be picked if the others were not selected.

** In the fourth episode of season two, New York showed that she really did care for Tailor Made a wee bit more than the other guys. She expected the better of him. So it's no wonder she was so angry at Tailor Made for spitting on Mr. Wise (it also reminded her of the time Pumkin spat in ''her'' face).

That's not how Berserk Button works. Getting angry over a loved one being disrespected is a reasonable response.


** In the first episode of the first season, Tango tells both New York and Sister Patterson that he holds his mother very close to his heart, which both women like and respect. Considering what they said about her in the episode where the final three contestants brought their mothers to the house makes [[spoiler: his [[BerserkButton eventual blow-up and dumping of her]] in the reunion show all the more understandable.]]

** Tailor Made is one to an extent. While he brought it down on himself to be a snitch and to be antagonistic towards the other contestants, he felt bad when he realized that nobody really liked him and he stated that he wanted to redeem himself. Anyone who's screwed up and made enemies and feels bad about it can relate.
