Added DiffLines:

* TookALevelInKindness: Lightning and Courtney, to the point where a large part of their character arcs revolve around this trope.
* TookALevelInJerkass: Sugar, if it that's even possible. She chose to vote out [[spoiler: DJ]] solely because she knew it would devastate Lightning and Courtney. Her [[spoiler: sabotaging Lightning in the Final Five]] takes the cake.

* BigBad: As the EvilGenius of the group, Scarlett thinks she will turn out to be this, but it actually turns out to be [[spoiler: Sugar).


Added DiffLines:

* FalseFriend: More like false allies. Scarlett and Courtney form an alliance early on, but both plan to betray each other later on. [[spoiler: Courtney persuades her friends to vote out Scarlett first]].


Added DiffLines:

* IdenticallyPoweredTeam: Invoked by Chris, who splits the teams into groups corresponding to their main values and talents - smart people are Brainy Beetles, strong people are Brawny Beavers and beautiful people are Beautiful Butterflies.
** Somewhat subverted as Dawn is on the Beautiful Butterflies, but shows less interest in her looks. However, as her talents are spiritual, neither of the other teams suited her.


Added DiffLines:

* TeethClenchedTeamwork: Often the case with the Beautiful Butterflies, who succeed despite their dislike of each other. Averted by the Brawny Beavers, who are usually strong due to their true bond. Subverted by the Brainy Beetles, since only some of them feel this way.
