* WhatDoTheyFearEpisode: In homage to "[[Recap/TotalDramaITripleDogDareYou I Triple Dog Dare You!]]" and secretly "[[Recap/TotalDramaPhobiaFactor Phobia Factor]]", the contestants have to enter the boxing ring to fight whatever the wheel happens to land on. They are told the matches are random, but in truth the wheel is rigged and all challengers are hand-picked to be the worst opponent a contestant could face. Scott is up against Fang, Sierra fights the mother of the mutants she had adopted, Alejandro battles Jose, Duncan faces a cute bird he'd befriended the previous episode (the bird is not his fear, but rather being exposed as a softie), and Gwen is pitted against Courtney. Mal and Cameron escape the trickery because Cameron realizes that the wheel is rigged and demands a random match as promised. Chris promises, but instead fixes it so that Mal is up against Cameron's most feared opponent, Izzy dressed as a huge spider, and Cameron is up against Mike's, mutant gophers.

* FreudianSlip: After Alejandro's AndThisIsFor moment, Chris snarks about him finally admitting his feelings for Heather. This appears to be averted, however; Alejandro is not embarrassed by this being heard like in Season 3, and (in the confessional) he asks Heather to call him.

* WheelOfDecisions: The Wheel of Misfortune is spun to determine which contestant gets to have a boxing match against what opponent. However, the wheel is rigged to match each contestant with their most poetic opponent, often the one they fear the most. It doesn't take the contestants too long to figure out that the odds are off, which Chris amends by rigging the wheel to switch Cameron's and Mal's biggest fears.

* AndThisIsFor: Alejandro states the many transgressions that his older brother has committed against him throughout their lives as he gives him a NoHoldsBarredBeatdown, which includes calling him Al, hogging the bathroom mirror all the time, replacing his soap with a urinal cake, and calling an aspect of Heather unattractive ([[BerserkButton which was what set him off]]).

* AndThisIsFor: Alejandro states the many transgressions that fights his older brother Jose. Jose has committed against him throughout their lives as he gives him a NoHoldsBarredBeatdown, which includes good chance of winning, but makes the costly mistake of calling Heather's personality unattractive. Alejandro snaps and starts handing out heavy punch after heavy punch, giving each a reason. The first is for Jose's insistence on calling him Al, "Al", the second is for hogging the bathroom mirror all mirror, the time, third is for replacing his soap with a urinal cake, and calling an the fourth and final one is for daring to call any aspect of Heather unattractive ([[BerserkButton which was what set him off]]).unattractive.

Those are that the winners will choose which loser gets eliminated, that the losers will choose which winner goes to Boney Island, and that it's not yet time for the merge. When Chris gives permission to gasp, the contestants are framed in a reaction shot composed of four trapezoids between Scott and Alejandro, Cameron and Gwen and Courtney, Sierra and Duncan, and Zoey and Mike.
