* [[The Power of Trust]]: Played with; the nature of 'The Prize' means that everyone will eventually turn on each other in order to get it -- however, as with the study group, most of the people who make it furthest through the game do so by forming 'packs' with other people they trust to watch their backs. In keeping with this, throughout the episode whenever one of the group tries to betray the others it usually backfires on them (Troy [[Laser-Guided Karma|immediately gets shot]] when he suggests turning on the others to Shirley, and Britta's attempt to betray Jeff is scuttled when he reveals her gun is empty).
