* DidntThinkThisThrough:
** Julie is trapped in a tanning bed that's been turned up to the highest setting. When her friends discover her, they immediately set about trying to bash the bed open. None of them thinks of unplugging it first so Julie doesn't burn to death. There's also Julie going into the tanning bed in the first place and Willis merely trapping her in it. By this point, she had been certain something was wrong, but she leaves herself in a completely vulnerable state anyway. And the guy who has gone to all of this trouble to get her on the island and kill her just continues to play the kind of games that ended up costing him a hand.

Even though they are written in huge blood-red letters and the other characters are facing the same direction as Julie, none of them see it and are really confused when she has a massive FreakOut, even though the vast majority of people will, upon seeing someone else see something and react with fear, look at whatever the person was looking at. This could be [[HandWave handwaved]] as just a hallucination, but there is no indication that this is the case.
