Line 81:
** Russell basically acted like a terrible sport in Heroes vs. Villains. Instead of congratulating Sandra in not angering potential votes, Russell began to attack the game ''itself'' saying that it was "Flawed" if someone who played differently than him could ''win'', and immediately proposing an alternative rule(set) that would most ''definitely'' favour ''him''. Basically, he came across as someone who played the game well and deserved more recognition from the fellow players...or a ''terrible'' sport who needs to learn that the game is ''not'' just played his way.
* [[Mighty Morphin Power Rangers]] has it's famous ''Green With Evil'' storyline that introduced the very first [[Sixth Ranger]]. It begins with Jason facing Tommy, a new kid in town, in a martial arts contest which ultimately ends in a tie. As Jason returns to his friends, the first words that come out of his mouth are "I didn't win." Granted, he doesn't dwell on it anymore after this one moment, but it's still an odd thing for a character like Jason to be concerned about.
* Played with on [[Star Trek: Deep Space Nine]]: Bashir was second in his class, and outwardly kicked himself for the simple blunder on the test that caused him to be such. However, he reveals shortly that's it's part of how he comes on to girls. Plus after [[The Reveal]] about his "enhancements," it may be that he deliberately made the mistake as to keep his cover.
* Parodied in ''[[The Addams Family (1964 TV series)|The Addams Family]]'', where Morticia's sister rejects the second-richest man in the world because "mother always said never to settle for second best. Later she hooks up with a man who is rich ''and'' [[Napoleon Delusion| thinks he's Napoleon.]]
