!!Tropes
* AbortedArc: The author originally intended the story to cover three season, with the canonical ''[[NewSeasonNewName Revenge of the Island]]'' contestants in the second season and the canonical ''Pahkitew Island'' contestants in the third. Abandonment of this conceit in favor of a one-season story resulted in several storylines, such as the role of the contestants saved by a Life Idol, being cut short, rushed to completion or dropped entirely, sometimes at the expense of story cohesion.

Added DiffLines:
* CutLexLuthorACheck: Jonathan Gavrilovic, a mob boss who [[MakesJustAsMuchSenseInContext somehow became Canada's de facto dictator]], risks his reputation and even his liberty to produce a "snuff" reality show for the black market, even though a man with his power and connections could have made more money more easily and far more safely by producing a legitimate reality show.
* TheDragon: The OC Zolkoff is Chris' hired muscle. Essentially a low-grade comic book supervillain, he is noticeably overpowered for the setting.
* HollywoodTactics: The first rescue attempt fails in part because of multiple tactical blunders by the would-be rescuers, most notably letting Chris stall for time. The leader of the rescue crew is an experienced police officer who really should have known better.
* ImprobableAimingSkills: The first rescue attempt implodes when Zolkoff shoots the helicopter pilot in the head despite not having a realistic angle to do so at any range close enough for his sidearm to be effective.
