** While Henry Santos from "Tagged" obviously did not deserve to die, his handling of the situation when he was confronted by Marcus caused him to come off as TooDumbToLive. Instead of just walking away from a potentially dangerous situation or trying to deescalate things, he condescends and mocks Marcus when Marcus demands that he stop painting over his tag, despite knowing that Marcus is a gang member and that other members of the gang are sitting in a car just a few feet away, and continues to treat the situation like a joke even when Marcus pulls a gun on him; when Marcus turns him around, Henry snidely remarks, "Oh, you're a big, freakin' man, huh?" before trying to pull the gun away from Marcus ''by the barrel'', which unsurprisingly causes Marcus to accidentally shoot Henry.

** Ryan from "Fair Warning" is portrayed as a bad boyfriend who Tina was right to break up with for not believing she was being stalked. However, he did believe her, even going as far to bear up the guy as a warning to leave her alone ([[SurprisinglyRealisticOutcome earning himself a criminal record in the process]]). He stopped believing her when he saw security footage of the stalker being in a different location at the same time Tina claimed she was being stalked. While she ended up being, right this just puts Ryan among the many who were portrayed as in the wrong for not believing a supernatural event was occurring.

How many more dolls will the girl make when her parents and the police come for her?]]

** The jury is out on Nick Dark, the host of the titular game show in "How Much Do You Love Your Kid?" He does seem genuinely concerned about Donna as she plays the game to find her kidnapped child, helping her solve the clues and demanding that the cameras be turned off when she tearfully embraces her son Wylie after he's injured; however, he also goads her into continuing the hunt and seems cheerful when Donna shoots the kidnapper--her own husband--because it will be a great twist ending. He could be a FauxAffablyEvil villain who only cares about ratings, or a PunchClockVillain who does have sincere sympathy for the contestants.
