** An obligatory example would be the end of the ''Literature/TheFifthElephant'' -- a potential "rival" for Captain Carrot's werewolf girlfriend dies dramatically while Carrot escapes with bad wounds. Vimes can't bring himself to say anything since Carrot's genuinely a good man, but he notes that things tend to work out for a KingIncognito.

* {{Parodied|Trope}} and {{exploited|Trope}} in ''Literature/TheScumVillainsSelfSavingSystemRenZhaFanpaiZijiuXitong''. Shen Qingqiu, a very GenreSavvy man who was transmigrated to a {{Troperiffic}} [[HaremGenre stallion]] webnovel where the protagonist has this trope constantly applied to him, manages to defeat a monster that has them both trapped and bound - he convinces it to attack the protagonist, knowing that the novel's universe won't let their "chosen son" to be permanently harmed. Sure enough, a ceiling column improbably drop onto the monster, which frees the protagonist and distracts the monster long enough for Shen Qingqiu to free and re-arm himself.

* In ''Literature/{{Victoria}}'', this trope mixed with every other side holding the IdiotBall in a death-grip is practically the only way you could explain the Victorian militias crushing every other army they go up against. Wooden ships with spar torpedoes can apparently easily destroy modern warships, World War II-era short-wave radar is good at catching F-35 stealth fighters, and outdated T-34s are technically better than M1 Abrams for being easier to repair and more reliable (though at least the author tries to justifies this by pointing out that they should avoid pitched battles with modern armour, it doesn't excuse how modern hand-portable anti-tank weapons would shred a T-34 without any trouble).

*** The Best Friends (Carrie and Devin) avoided elimination a few times due to their WillTheyOrWontThey plot. This is ironic, given they were the main face of ''The Ridonculous Race'' during the show's production.
*** The Daters (Stephanie and Ryan) avoided elimination twice due to the legs in Hawaii and the Arctic being non-elimination rounds.
*** The Ice Dancers (Jacques and Josee) dodged possible elimination because they were the [[ArcVillain Arc Villains]]. Same reason why the Police Cadets ([=MacArthur=] and Sanders) dodged two non-elimination rounds (Australia and Siberia). The writers believed that the Cadets-vs.-Ice Dancers rivalry was the main focus of the race.
