Note: Unless otherwise specified, all tropes pertain to the characters, not the content creators that play them.


  • Accidental Innuendo:
    • Throughout the season, Scar has a minor yet noticeable habit of saying things that could really come off the wrong way around other players, and this happens most frequently when camels are discussed or involved.
      Scar: As we tour the server, please keep your hands and arms inside of the camel at all times.
      Lizzie: Inside the camel??
    • For a visual example, at one point on Day 4, Jimmy and Skizz were hanging out, with the latter crouching very close next to the former. From Lizzie's point of view, they appeared to be in a very compromising position. She awkwardly leaves without saying anything to them.
  • Crosses the Line Twice:
    • On Day 5, Pearl and Mumbo end up building a... very phallic-looking tower (with pink cherry wood as a base and the top being brown oak wood). Joel comes around and yells about their questionable choices. Mumbo says Joel's not one to talk, as his base can also be viewed as phallic. Joel retorts with...
      Joel: Mine is a lovely childhood memory of a Helter Skelter. This is not the childhood memory I want to bring back right now!
      Mumbo: Oh Jesus. Joel's trauma-dumping out here.
    • On Day 7, Martyn leaves two signs on Mumbo's fence-posts in tribute to him being Hoist by His Own Petard to his final death:
      The best offence
      Is a good fence
  • Epileptic Trees: Big B's... strange behavior in Secret Life and the fact that his first task was red and non-social has led to speculation from fans. While the latter has been resolved in that he simply used the wrong texture pack for Days 1 and 2, the former is still subject to intrigued fan questions. It doesn't help that the other members play into the mystery.
    Jimmy: That hole changed you, BigB.
  • Moral Event Horizon: In the "Eyes and Ears" continuity, the Watchers have crossed it before the series even starts for creating the Life series in the first place, but what might as well cement it is revealed in Martyn's post-Secret Life lore stream, where they forcibly keep Scar alive as the Sole Survivor, unlike the previous winners who all died at their season's end, to let him Go Mad from the Isolation in a ruined world, eventually turning a normally cheery (if devious) man into a broken husk over the course of a season and afterward. The fact they'll eventually remove the emotional impact of the season during the "recovery" period between seasons doesn't erase the fact they actually do this at some point in the series.
