* AssholeVictim: A non lethal version, but Gwen tries to urge Heather not to have a shower while in a horror movie challenge, but proceeds to leave her alone and lets her get caught by Chef.



* LaserGuidedKarma: Given all the horrible things Heather did to Gwen this season, Gwen leaving her behind, and her getting caught can easily be seen as Gwen getting payback on Heather for her actions.



** Chris also has one when he gives Gwen the immunity for beating an actual killer. He could have just let Duncan keep the immunity, but instead gave it to someone who never technically encountered Chef, but did encounter the real thing.



* SpannerInTheWorks: The real killer proves to be this for Duncan and Chris. Gwen believes he is an actor and part of the challenge, but Chris is utterly terrified when he realizes that Gwen could be killed, (though this is motivated to prevent a lawsuit). Similarly, Duncan would have been guaranteed immunity if the real killer had not shown up, as he had managed to beat Chef in a fight and unmasked him, but thanks to Gwen fighting a real killer, she ended up with invincibility.



* TooDumbToLive: Geoff PlayedStraight. Seriously. An Ice-Cream truck ''in an island''? Even Chris and DJ lampshade this.
