* AlternateCharacterInterpretation: Was Sunburst really holding the ConflictBall when he tried to get Twilight disqualified, or was he just trying to give Twilight a taste of her own medicine and putting on a really good act doing it? The latter becomes more plausible when you consider that he would have been out of the game for good if Twilight was disqualified.

He may also have wanted to get Twilight back for getting him and Cranky disqualified for the latter sleeping.

Super OCD is no longer a trope. Moving examples to other tropes when applicable.


* BaseBreakingCharacter: Twilight Sparkle's [[TemporarilyExaggeratedTrait OCD exaggerated]] to the point of JerkassBall. Either it was an entertaining sendoff to her SuperOCD before [[CharacterDevelopment she finally overcame it]] by the next episode, [[Administrivia/TropesAreTools unpleasant but worth it]] to serve as the impetus for overcoming it, or an overly cringey and mean spirited [[AesopAmnesia relapse that hurt the notion she overcame it]].

* UnintentionallyUnsympathetic: While the viewer is supposed to side with Pinkie Pie's wishes to have fun over Twilight's obsession with winning the competition for a third time in a row, the former does not grant much sympathy when she spouts nonsensical answers to many questions, seemingly unconcerned with Twilight's wishes and making Pinkie look selfish. Twilight's plan to take Pinkie out of the competition is as much of a jerk move as the episode implies, but Pinkie did nothing to avoid Twilight's frustration reaching a breaking point in the first place.

Twi’s intentionally unsympathetic for that reason, hence her remorse.


* UnintentionallyUnsympathetic: We were supposed to side with Twilight for having to partner up with Pinkie Pie, a complete novice that is easily distracted meaning that the latter blow it even when answering questions that she actually knows. However, Twilight's measures to ensure that she wins makes her very unlikeable. This is very egregious considering that the ''previous episode'' has her pull a friendship lesson stunt with Rainbow Dash despite knowing the latter's lack of interest and knowledge in cheer squads.
** Some were willing to forgive this, however, seeing how after Twilight gets Pinkie disqualified, [[LaserGuidedKarma she immediately gets a taste of her own medicine]] when Sunburst refuses to let ''her'' answer any questions and nearly gets ''her'' disqualified, leading to her [[MyGodWhatHaveIDone realising how unfair she was being to Pinkie]].
