* GracefulLoser: [[spoiler: As a sign as to how far he's come, Lightning accepts his elimination with honour and notes that he was [[TooPowerfulToLive too awesome]] for the competition.]]


Added DiffLines:

* CuttingOffTheBranches: In the Author's Notes of the first aftermath, he states that the winner's order goes as such: Owen won TDI, Beth won TDA, Heather won TDWT, Cameron won TDRI, Zoey won TDAS, Shawn won TDPI, and The Police Cadets won RR.
* DanceOff: This is that challenge for chapter 17 in Persopolis, Iran, with numerous dangers thrown in to each round to keep it "interesting". The dangers include a [[BearsAreBadNews bear with a mohawk]], Cannons, an [[ShockAndAwe electrified dancefloor]], before finally having [[PlayingWithFire pillars of fire]] to close things off.



* LoopholeAbuse: Since B doesn't talk, let alone sing, he has a autotuned speaker to sing for him. Chris is initially skeptical about it, but as Dawn points out he never said that they had to sing with ''their own'' voice. [[spoiler:Amy and Sugar later take advantage of this to eliminate him.]]
