* JerkassHasAPoint: Considering how pathetic Harold's attempt at a throw was and didn't show off his dodging skills until the 11th hour, Duncan and Courtney had solid reason for keeping him on the bench for most of the game.

* ZergRush: The main basis for Duncan's "[[AttackPatternAlpha rush the new guy]]" strategy from Juvie. The Killer Bass gather as many dodgeballs as they can on their side of the field, then all five of them throw balls at a single target, who is unable to avoid or catch them all.

* DiggingYourselfDeeper: Noah was already not doing himself any favors by not contributing to the challenge at all the entire game. Once his team loses though, his deadpan remarks of "weak effort" and "lack of team spirit" just make everyone else even madder at him, resulting in his elimination. It doesn't help that he apparently has no idea why everyone is so mad at him after they lose, acting like [[NeverMyFault he did nothing wrong]].

* DownToTheLastPlay: In the final game, it's down to Owen for the Gophers and Harold for the Bass. Harold has managed to dodge all of Owen's shots, but during a timeout, Geoff tells Harold that it's not enough to just dodge and suggest that he attempts to catch a ball to get Owen out, since Harold isn't strong enough to throw a ball. Owen throws his final ball hard enough to send Harold into the plexiglass wall. However, Harold reveals that he caught Owen's pass, giving the Bass their first win.

In the second season, he would see himself as [[HollywoodHomely hideously deformed]] whenever receiving a blow to the face and would even try to weasel his way out of certain challenges using his modeling contracts in order to prevent any sort of blow to his face or body.

* ForegoneConclusion: Noah does nothing to help his team during the challenge and spends the entire time hurling insults at everyone, while nobody else on the Screaming Gophers even comes close to his level of uselessness. When he inevitably gets the boot, Chris acknowledges that this time it ''wasn't'' the most dramatic campfire ceremony ever.

* TheLoad: Noah spends the entire challenge on the sidelines reading and hurling insults at his own teammates, doing nothing to help them win. Then when the Screaming Gophers inevitably lose, he has the gall to accuse ''them'' of putting up a "weak effort". Naturally, this manages to piss off his entire team and get him sent packing.

* FaceDoodling: Harold has kept the Killer Bass up all night with his snoring and that's after they already didn't get any sleep for a multi-day challenge. In retaliation, someone, almost certainly Duncan, pranks him by drawing a mustache on his face. It backfires because, even though everyone laughs at him, Harold actually likes the look.
