* DrawingStraws: The girls have trouble deciding on who gets which bed. Mostly, Heather is being demanding and nobody wants to bunk with Heather. Lindsay proposes that they draw makeup brushes to come to decisions, which Beth expands on by declaring that whoever gets a long brush gets a top bunk and whoever gets a short one gets a bottom bunk. Whoever draws the absolute shortest has to bunk with Heather. The thing is, there are eight bunks and only seven female campers. As soon as it's clear who get top bunks and who get bottom bunks, everyone teams up immediately to not be stuck with Heather, which leaves Heather with a full bunk to herself. She's elated.

* DidYouGetANewHaircut: An odd variation. Everyone almost instantly figures out that Beth's braces have been removed, and complement her on it.
* EstablishingCharacterMoment: We get a taste of how Geoff, Bridgette, Harold, Leshawna, Justin, DJ and Chef will be like in this season, though it is quite subtle.

* AdmiringTheAbomination: Owen thought that the monster was cool when he first saw it. He changed his mind when Izzy got interested though.



* InterspeciesRomance: Izzy and the anamatronic monster

to:

* ContrivedCoincidence: The prop food challenge involved finding a key, which Owen just so happened to have belched up after Chris explained what was supposed to happen.
* CurtainCamouflage: Not a curtain, but Harold clearly hides within the umbrella when hiding from the monster, which Leshawna lampshades.
* DidYouGetANewHaircut: An odd variation. Everyone almost instantly figures out that Beth's braces have been removed, and complement her on it.
* EstablishingCharacterMoment: We get a taste of Geoff, Bridgette, Harold, Leshawna, Justin, DJ and Chef will be like in this season, though it is quite subtle.
* {{Gasshole}}: Owen lets out a ''massive'' fart when everyone is in their trailers at night, sleeping.

* MotionCapture: Chef controls the monster this way

to:

* TheLeader: Trent proves himself to be one to Gwen, DJ and Beth, though he gets them stuck at a dead end and getting captured by the monster.
* MakeOutKids: Geoff and Bridgette. They talk about going ''away'' from that but it doesn't last long at all.
* MiraculousMalfunction: The monster malfunctions after handling Owen's intense weight.
* MotionCapture: Chef controls the monster this wayway.
* MrFanservice: Justin InUniverse, as usual. He manages to get Beth to follow him immediately, get the monster [[EvenTheGuysWantHim (Chef)]], to place him down gently, and everyone stares at him when he's in the bouncy castle-prison.
* ScreamsLikeALittleGirl: DJ, at the start of the episode.
* TemptingFate: Gwen does this twice.
** She asks Chris what they'd be doing this season, before meeting the monster. She lampshades in the confessional that it wasn't a good idea to say that.
** She later says that the challenge didn't seem so hard, with no explosions, houses on fire, or [[BearsAreBadNews killer bears]]. We cut to shots of ''exactly'' those things, with the bear chasing Gwen Trent and Duncan.
* TitleDrop: Courtesy of Chris.
* {{Troll}}: The monster crushes ''both trailers'' instead of just one. Chris also pretends that it's 5am, startling everyone with his megaphone, before reassuring them that it was a "test".
