Bait-and-Switch: When announcing the team swap at the end of "This is the Pits!", Chris says he's doing it because several players are forming alliances to vote out teammates, implying he's breaking up the Shawn-Ella and Scarlett-Topher alliances, only for the players to actually be swapped to be Sky and Sammy.Ĭhris: Hey, I didn't say these alliances were official! But, come on! Boyfriend-girlfriend? BFFs?.Once Sky realizes the truth, she realizes that she was right when she told Dave she wasn't ready for a relationship yet and advises him to go after Ella, which he does. Heartbroken, Ella informs Sky that Dave's heart belongs to her and the two have a Relationship Upgrade, but after Sky gets transferred to Team Kinosewak, she ends up dumping Dave due to Scarlett tricking her into thinking that Dave's cheating on her with Ella. When Sky starts showing signs of jealousy due to Ella showing interest in Dave, he begins dating Ella in an attempt to make Sky jealous only to let her down gently once he realizes that Ella is genuinely in love with him. When Dave first tells Sky that he likes her, she informs him that she's not really looking for a relationship at the moment due to having recently broken up with Keith as a result of him cheating on her (which also qualifies for this trope). Adaptation Relationship Overhaul: The Sky-Dave-Ella Love Triangle plays out much differently here than in canon.Dave ends up giving the same lines he did when Beardo was eliminated in the canon premiere, but whereas there he said them in sarcasm, here he's genuinely honest in his regret. The biggest example to contrast this Dave with the canon one can be seen during Beardo's elimination in "Mo' Monkey, Mo' Problems".

Adaptational Nice Guy: Dave slowly becomes more accepting of his teammates' quirks and nicer to them as a result than he was in canon."Lies, Cries, and One Big Prize" is re-titled "Revenge of the Losers"."Pahk'd With Talent" is re-titled "Pahk'd With Knowledge"."Sky Fall" is re-titled "Break Back Mountain"."A Blast from the Past" is re-titled "Splash, Splash, X Dash".Adaptation Name Change: Several of the episode titles are changed to reflect the new canon:.Adaptational Karma: Whereas in canon, Chris received no comeuppance for his usual Jerkass behavior throughout the season, here upon suggestion from the runner-up, the rest of the cast, along with the past season winners and Chef, have him shot out of the Cannon of Shame (after getting relieved of his pants by Duncan).Heather and Dave: Well, that explains a lot.

Heather: Wow, Chris! Is this really the best you could come up with? I've seen losers before, but these guys take the cake! I mean, talk about bottom of the barrel! Did you find them off the side of the road or something?Ĭhris: Technically, they were accepted into the season when Chef accidentally knocked their audition tapes into the acceptance machine.
