=== This show provides examples of: ===
* [[Badass Nickname]]: The show gave one to each contestant.
* [[Carried Byby the Host]]: While Asha was praised by some fans for equaling her referee predecessor, many fans felt that ''GUTS'' wasn't the same without Mike and Moira.
* [[Catch Phrase]]: Quite a few, but special mention goes to Mike's "Let's go to Mo!" and "Do you have it?". Not to mention Moira's "On your mark, get set... (blows whistle)".
* [[Early Installment Weirdness]]: The first taped episode, which has different fonts for the on-screen displays and a different "Extreme Arena" sign over the scoreboard (both lasted at least one more taping). The rules explanations are slightly different, and Mike refers to Moira by her full first name throughout the show. Notably, the Crag's actuator lights look like rocks themselves when turned off and light up in that player's color, instead of using the familiar orange ones used for the rest of the run, and shots of the "normal" Crag are superimposed over a couple of spots in the episode.
* [[Excited Kids' Show Host]]: Mike O'Malley, Type 1.
* [[Getting Crap Past the Radar]]: "Hell" was used once. Sure, it was a reference to [[Meat Loaf]]'s album, "Bat Out of Hell", but still.
* [[Huge Guy, Tiny Girl]]: Mike towers over the 5-foot Moira.
* [[Limited Wardrobe]]: Mike and Moira [[Lampshade Hanging|lampshaded this]] in the Behind The Scenes special, while discussing what to wear for the day.
* [[The Nicknamer]]: Many contestants go by nicknames given by the show. Moira also obtained a nickname, "Mo". However, the latter stuck.
* [[No Indoor Voice]]: Mike O'Malley, to the point where Moira would say "Steady, Mike" or some other variation.
* [[The Runner Up Takes It All]]: A.J. McLean, Mike Vogel, even [[That's So Raven|Ashley Drane]]... they won silver medals, and yet they went on to do bigger things. See [[Nickelodeon Guts/Trivia|the]] [[Hey, ItsIt's That Guy!]] [[Nickelodeon Guts/Trivia|section]] for the former two.
