* MistakenForProfound: Wayne's inspiration for his strategy of blasting the other team with the cabbages was because he saw Emma and Bowie purposely trying to hit Chase and assuming it was a strategy rather than Emma just trying to hurt Chase.

!!Tropes:
* AllUpToYou: Zee finds himself being the last member of the Trout standing against all the uneliminated Frogs, leaving it up to him to turn things around. For a minute, it looks like he might succeed... then he misses due to a pelican landing on the wheel and causing it to turn and hit the rocks, making the boat sink.
* AnArmAndALeg: Subverted. It looks like Zee lost his leg to a shark, but it turns out he has a prosthetic leg. He later reveals that he was born without it, but always invented made up stories about how he "lost his leg" to entertain people.
* CallBack: The challenge is reminiscent of the second challenge from "[[Recap/TotalDramaSwedenSour Sweden Sour]]".
* CurbStompBattle: The Frogs Of Death are able to win the challenge in this episode by a huge landslide, due to the Ferocious Trout’s poor performance in the challenge. This is mainly due to Axel kicking Ripper off the ship, several of the contestants mismanaging their cabbage balls, Wayne’s strategy of knocking the opposing team members off first, and Zee ramming his team’s ship into a rock.
* EatTheDog: Axel catches and roasts some of the adorable squirrels that populate the island. Chase is unnerved, but Zee and Scary Girl have no problem eating it.
* EdibleAmmunition: Chris wasn't allowed to use actual cannonballs, so the cannons are loaded with heads of cabbage.
-->'''Chris:''' Just as deadly, but rich in vitamin K!
* EpicFail: Not only did the Ferocious Trout fail to knock a single member of the Frogs Of Death off their ship but Zee also failed spectacularly at knocking down the enemy ship by ramming into a rock instead.
* GoingDownWithTheShip: As his boat is finally sinking and him being the last of his team to survive, Zee decides to go down with it, because that's what a "good captain" would do.
* LaymansTerms: Wayne and Raj explain their strategy in hockey terminology, only switching to more understandable terms when Bowie asks.
* MisplacedWildlife: Damien lampshades how the sharks in the lake are great whites, even though living in freshwater should logically kill them.
* OutOfCharacterMoment: Chris calls Caleb the most attractive guy on the planet which would confuse a lot of fans who are used to Chris' vanity and narcissism.
* PirateParrot: Chris and Chef have one that keeps attacking Chef for no reason.
* PopCulturePunEpisodeTitle: The title is a play on the Creator/{{Disney}} pirate franchise ''Franchise/PiratesOfTheCaribbean''.
* PragmaticVillainy: Scary Girl saves Damien from the sharks by reasoning that him never screaming again would be a bad thing.
* PunBasedTitle: The title of the episode is a wordplay on the insult "shit for brains".
* RammingAlwaysWorks: Scary Girl has the idea to ram the enemy ship, which would cause a tie. Zee puts the plan into action, but he ends up missing and hitting the rocks instead, sinking his own boat.
* RingOut: Wayne's strategy is to knock all the opposing team off the boat, which will allow his team to sink their ship at their leisure. It mostly works.
* StoryBreakerPower: MK uses the phone she stole from Julia to hijack the confession cam and see what everyone else is saying.
* TeamKiller: Axel kicks Ripper off their team's boat for trying to subvert her authority.
* {{Touche}}: Axel asks why Zee never mentioned having a prosthetic leg. His response is "Probably the same reason you never told me your legs weren't."
-->'''Axel:''' Fair enough.
* TheWorfEffect: Priya and Axel, both established to be strong competitors, are quickly taken out by Wayne's strategy.
