** Several times, the Strip X games came about when the remaining contestants had an unequal gender balance, usually two guys and one girl. Brooke would then lampshade the unsurprising reveal that both guys voted for the girl, and during the game the two guys would be visibly enjoying the show. This was subverted at least once though, to Brooke's surprise, where the men voted for each other and the one girl's vote ended up causing a tie.

* AllWomenAreLustful: On the same hand, the times where the gender split was reversed for the vote for the Strip games, the guy would unsurprisingly be the one voted. Even in the times where there was only one girl who lost the vote, they would admit their choice was usually on which of the two guys she wanted to see naked.

* DownerEnding: One episode the Top Dog was a girl who beat two challenges prior to winning the final challenge. The Dog Pound was made up of people either she sent or people who failed miserably in their challenge, and on top of it were unbearably condescending. Guess who won the money...

The task may be to identify the biological woman from a group of females men dressed like males.as women, or the biological man from a group of women dressed as men, or the bearded lady from a group of bearded men etc.


Added DiffLines:

* LeapOfFaith: Downplayed in the challenge sharing this trope's name. The target is visible, but so far below the jumping point that the contestant's actual point of contact is uncertain. In essence, the contestant has to be a "human dart".


Added DiffLines:

* TightropeWalking: Downplayed. Several challenges require contestants to walk the length of a thin beam under an adverse circumstance, such as simulated bad weather or wearing high heels.

** During the Final Trivia for Episode 3, one contestant was asked what the largest nation in the Americas was. The contestant guessed ''[[ArtisticLicenseGeography Asia.]]'' Cue facepalms from two other members of the Dog Pound.
** In season 2, a contestant was asked what Academy Award winner for {{Film/The Fugitive}} was [[Creator/TommyLeeJones Harvard roommates with Al Gore.]] Not surprisingly, he said it was Harrison Ford. Made even funnier by the fact that the audience and three other members of the Dog Pound started cheering after he announced his answer.
