Solitary/YMMV

Everything About Fiction You Never Wanted to Know.


  • Complete Monster: VAL.
  • Elimination Houdini: Number 5 from Season 3 plays this, especially after beating a penalty round right after Number 2 gave up.
  • Iron Woobie: Number 5 of Season 1 went through what was apparently a horribly painful divorce, but still shows remarkable willpower.
  • Nightmare Fuel: Isolation, for a lot of people.
    • The video mentioned under Mind Rape.
    • The nail chair.
    • The slowly shrinking cell in the season 1 finale.
    • The final Treatment of Season 2 became literal Nightmare Fuel for one contestant, as he confessed in the reunion show.
    • The endings to each season, where the winners are kept in solitary permanently, as Val has come to enjoy their company.
  • The Woobie: Number 5 from Season 3.0 was definitely one of these, and would barely scrape by challenges.
