** Both in-game and on a meta level. Acts such as cheating, lying or being an AlphaBitch[=/=]Jerkass in the challenges will come back to bite you. On the meta level, Regina (Season 2) was actually disqualified for "cheating" (she was using a phone to contact people outside production).

* TheDitz: Both Chelsea and Amy in Season 1 and 2 respectively are this to certain degrees.
* DoesNotLikeShoes: CJ in one episode does not include shoes with his outfit.
* DoubleEntendre: Both Craig and David in episode 4 of Season 2 used this in their ad campaigns (they were modelling crabs and fruit, respectively). It went about as well as you'd expect.
** Crossing over with CameBackWrong, Craig proceeds to announce in the confessional that "[David] has crabs--not literally--for my challenge."
* HotScientist: In Season 1, Laura assumes Monique is this when the latter mentions her recent college graduation with a biology degree.
* HumiliationConga[=/=]HumblePie: Depending on when they're eliminated, the contestants are shown ''every''thing that goes against the idea of being an "inner beauty." This doesn't just include the hidden-camera challenges; it also includes things like bullying or ganging up on others and speaking about people behind their backs.
* HiddenDepths: CJ and Ray from Season 1, David (to some extent) from Season 2.
* {{Jerkass}}: Quite a few of the contestants, both male and female. Again, subverted, since being a jerkass does not help you in the slightest. Season 2 seemed to have more of a Jerkass cast than season 1.
* KarmaHoudini: Refreshingly subverted--the Jerkass contestants wind up being eliminated much more quickly than their nicer counterparts. For all the contestants, karma does come back to bite them in the ass quite a bit when they're eliminated.
** JerkWithAHeartOfGold: Craig and Erika (Season 2); CJ, Billy and Joel (Season 1).

** On a smaller scale, during a challenge in Season 1, the contestants were told they were each allowed to bring ''one'' personal item with them. Ray picks up his drawing box, and Billy picks up his "murse" full of beauty products. When Vanessa and Cheryl object (since the nurse and the items therein were counted as individual items), Billy quickly calls them out on Ray being allowed to take all of his pencils. Ray is told to ditch the pencils, and Billy takes another item.
