* Nicole "Ratcole" Franzel losing sponsors over mocking Ian Terry for having autism.

** Britney and Ian's goodbye messages to Boogie. Especially Ian's. Full Stop.

** Michael himself became just as controversial if not more than Kyle due to his blowing up of Kyle's game. But he ends up getting evicted in a ShockingElimination when Monte and Turner decide to take the shot (thanks in part to Taylor convincing them). He had several opportunities to take out Turner and even Monte but did not take them [[HonorBeforeReason because it would not be the honourable thing]].

* Will and Mike actually entering the Diary Room ''together'', ''ignoring'' the premise of even being in there, and engaging in camaraderie via Chilltown phone calls. [[RefugeInAudacity You never see that with anybody else.]]

** When Monte [[TragicMistake makes the fatal mistake of taking Taylor with him to the Final 2]] after winning the final HOH competition, Taylor blows him away when facing the jury … and wins 8-1. Not only that, she wins the America’s Favorite Houseguest award because people rooted for her to outlast those who bullied her! KarmicJackpot indeed!

* 2011 Series: Harry spent all of the shopping budget on [[CandidCameraPrank 500 bananas]], much to the amusement of the public and the [[BerserkButton dismay of Jay]].

** Ironically, Maggie ends up winning the next [=HoH=], eliminates Kaysar '''twice''', wipes out his Alliance, then wins the Game. He should've eliminated her and kept the hot headded "Cappy" around.
** That argument only works in hindsight, since Kaysar had no way of knowing how badly Howie would screw up the nominations in Week 5. Also, Maggie didn't come into her own as a cult leader until after Cappy left. When he was around, he pretty much filled the role as leader of the Nerd Herd, and was also a bigger challenge threat than Maggie.

* The moment in the finale where Julie plays the montage of Josh's goodbye video messages to houseguests Paul plotted to evict into the Jury after they've cast their votes. It vindicates Josh's seemingly disastrous choice to bring Paul to the end entirely. One quick viewing of these reveals that Josh OutGambitted Paul in the ''ultimate'' power play: ''he exposed Paul's entire game [[UpToEleven 100% OUTSIDE]] of the house.'' In other words, Josh ''never'' exposed Paul for a moment while ''inside'' the house (only the evictees were clued in on Paul's true nature, and once they left the premises, they took the knowledge with them and couldn't tell the remaining people in the house), nor left any evidence to be traced back to him, which Paul himself tried to do and backfired spectacularly because it was proven that he lied, while Josh always spoke the truth at the end of the day. Josh went one step further than pulling a Steve Moses on the Vanessa of the season- he pulled a ''masterful'' complex XanatosGambit all his own (take Paul to the end and portray himself as the lesser of two evils rather than try to carry himself to the end against somebody else in the face of a bitter jury that is full of people irate at him for picking fights with him and having a hand in all their evictions) and surprised everybody who thought he was crazy to take Paul to the Final Two, since none of us had seen exactly how damaging Josh's secret strategy was, Paul himself included, until it was played in front of us all at once. This was a season where anybody who took a direct shot at Paul got shot down in flames, or anyone who remotely thought about or had the slightest rumbling they might threaten him got sniped. When Paul sees this montage, he is positively ''[[OhCrap dumbstruck.]]'' Heck, he's '''SUPER PISSED.''' And when he loses the game for the second time in row, you can tell Paul is one ''hell'' of a salty sardine.

* Josh and Betty blowing up Kevin's game:
** Josh tells Kevin that he will ''throw the Final four Head of Household'' challenge. Kevin ''believes it'' - and even though he doesn't let his guard down (As he wants to show that he at least wasn't letting everyone else do the work for him), Josh surprises Kevin by getting answers right.
** Betty nominates Josh because Josh put her on the block during the triple eviction. Josh proceeds to hear out Betty, and they get back together when Kevin and Haleena's backs are turned.
** Josh then wins veto - and tells Kevin that it's over while scrambling for safety
** Kevin and Haleena even say, before the feeds go down, "We lost once we evicted Jacey-Lynne."

* Josh and Betty blowing up Kevin's game.

* Sindy says to Sarah and Brittnee that she wants to evict Jordan to castigate Zach's [[WhatAnIdiot ungodly stupid]] move. Sarah and Brit say that they don't have the votes... but Sindy manages to get ''Bruno'' on board by telling him that he and Bobby were backdoor targets. Come eviction time, the vote comes down to ''Bobby''. This also follows Godfrey and Jordan giving some ''very'' epic speeches. The look on Jordan's face when Arisa said "You are safe" to Godfrey was ''priceless''.

-->'''Dan:''' [[RousingSpeech Danielle, look at me. I picked you for a reason. 'Cause I know this is in you. You SET the deal, you don't MAKE the deal! Whatever happens, from this point forward, Danielle, you ''know'' this is your shot! If you wanna win this game, it starts right now.]]

* Days 49-55, Dan Gheesling showing exactly why he is a legend of the game. Dear god, where to begin...

* Frenchie and Brent’s downfalls. For Frenchie, his unstable gameplay and alienating the rest of the house made him an immediate target, and got evicted after his HoH reign. Brent was such a twat, his team threw a comp to get him out! His jerksssery bit him in the ass, and he went home in a UNANIMOUS vote.

* Week 2, we have Paola giving a ''beautiful'' TheReasonYouSuckSpeech to Devin for putting her up on the block and then proceeding to be one of the stupidest players in the entire house by misusing his HOH powers and flipping on one of his own allies after Brittany [[NotSoDifferent mentioned being a single parent]] tugged at his heartstrings and caused him to replace her with Zach, and pulling in even more allies ''without any of his current allies' consent.''
