- When Mackenzie reunites with her friends at the airport, she drops this message, having decided to wait until after she gets done with high school to pursue a modeling career:Mackenzie: (to Brittnay and Trisha) I decided I'm not gonna drop out of school after all. ...Look, all I've ever wanted to do was to just find a way to escape all these bitches and assholes we go to school with. But since we got here, Jeannie betrayed us, those French cunts tried to kill us, and I realized... it doesn't matter where you go, there's always gonna be bitches and assholes in your life. So the only thing you can do is surround yourself with the few bitches and assholes you can actually stand being around. And for me, that's you guys.
- Bittersweet Ending: Team USA wins, Cameron goes on to improve her life as a new model, Mackenzie decides to stay with her friends after all, and Tanner and Tristan are back together—at the cost of the Trishas splitting up, while Brittnay decides to be nicer to Saison after her kidnapping, she does not find out the real truth about Saison while in France.
