* AbusiveParents: Of the neglectful kind. Alec telling on international television that he wished that his son was more like Fiore in Season 1 raised some eyebrows in-universe, with Ellie vocally criticizing him for saying it in a post-season interview. In "Slip & Sly", Alec tells Riya, Grett and Yul about the incident that made his son afraid of sand: while playing at a sandbox, his son stepped on a shard of glass, but Alec was so focused on the book he was reading that he didn't even listen to his screams of pain. To top it off, he tells all this as if it wasn't a big deal.



* HatesBeingAlone: In "Slip & Sly", in a moment of vulnerability, she tells Riya that, despite the way Yul treats her, she's afraid he'll leave her because she's afraid she will be all alone again if he does.



* LackOfEmpathy: She has zero issue with manipulating others, [[spoiler:frames Drew to prevent herself from getting eliminated]], and implies she sabotaged other contestants in a beauty competition. Additionally, when Fiore seemingly gets voted off for being weak, Grett cruelly tells her that she voted her over Miriam because Miriam at least knows how to read. She also shows no empathy for Gabby when she reveals she was hurt due to [[spoiler:her teammates nearly voting her off]].

* MomentKiller: Type IV. In the opening, she intentionally interrupts a kiss between Gabby and Eli because she doesn't want them to be a couple. In the original version of the first season, she does the same but with Tom and Jake instead.

* BirdsOfAFeather: He appears to get along with Riya at least partly because neither of them can stand Yul for being such a {{Jerkass}}.



* ParentalNeglect: It's {{implied|Trope}} he's neglectful towards his son, which seems to be because he didn't seem to want kids in the first place. Not only did he state in season one that he wishes he was more like Fiore, ''All-Stars'' suggests he once was so absorbed in a Creator/CharlesDickens novel that he didn't realize he stepped on broken glass in a sandbox. He also suggested he never even tried to help him.



* PragmaticVillainy: In the second episode of ''All-Stars'', Alec seems concerned for Connor and offers to talk to him when he realizes he's having relationship issues with Riya. He also later tries to give him advice regarding his relationship with her. However, he eventually suggests he originally only came to him because he wanted an alliance rather than [[PetTheDog kindness]]. Granted, he did genuinely grow fond of him.
