* InformedWrongness: Vee's ReasonYouSuckSpeech to Sydney is treated as a WhatTheHellHero moment, with Tommy scolding her and Vee later regretting it and apologizing to Sydney when she has the chance. This completely ignores how Vee had ''every'' right to be furious with Sydney. She just caught her making out with her crush and Sydney had just finished mocking her and [[SpeakIllOfTheDead throwing her brother's death in her face]] during their argument. Overall, it comes off less like Vee let the Nerve game get to her head and more that it finally gave the confidence to tell Sydney off for a terrible excuse of a friend.

** Tommy. Was he really worried about Vee's safety because of her playing a sketchy game with a guy she hardly knows, or was he like Sydney and simply jealous that she was gaining a following and [[AllLoveIsUnrequited having fun with another guy]]? Or was he angry that the game and Ian were causing Vee to break out of her shell, reducing his chances at getting his dream girl?

** Sydney is more overtly nasty, teasing Vee for her shyness in the beginning before cruelly mocking her during their fight at the party--even throwing her brother's death in her face. This all occurs ''after'' Vee had just caught her making out with her crush, with Sydney not even pretending to be sorry about it and instead chastising her for not being there when she "almost died" trying to complete her dare. Even her near-death experience during said dare comes across as LaserGuidedKarma for how insensitive and nasty she was to Vee and how she claimed Vee "couldn't handle" playing Nerve.
** Tommy is less overt in his bad friend status. While he does defend Vee against Sydney's teasing, his [[GreenEyedMonster thinly concealed jealousy]] of Ian and disdain for how Vee grows close to him makes it look like he's only hanging out with Vee in the hopes she'll eventually return [[UnrequitedLove his feelings]]. Then, Tommy scolds Vee for calling Sydney out for being a jerk to her (despite Tommy having done so himself earlier at the diner) and reveals how Ian orchestrated the fight for a Nerve dare. The way he condescendingly asks Vee if she can really trust Ian makes him come across as an [[EntitledToHaveYou entitled jerk]] who's less concerned about his crush's safety and more resentful that she chose another guy over him.

Nerve. She has some excuses, [[JerkassHasAPoint like her being legitimately upset by Vee calling her insecure and slut-shaming her behind her back and for all the watchers to see, even if she wasn't aware of it]], and she is not completely in her right mind due to the stress of the dare and possibly being drunk and/or intoxicated, but not enough not to make Vee's assessment fundamentally right.
