Line 8:
* [[Large Ham]]: Alan Cumming as Billy in Season 3 bounces back and forth between this and a [[Deadpan Snarker]]. He easily steals every scene he's in.
* [[Magnificent Bastard]]: {{spoiler|Adelle}} in Season 5.
* [[Moral Event Horizon]]: Once they learned that he'd rigged the entire house with surveillance cameras so he could turn the intimate details of his roomates' personal lives into fodder for his next documentary, there was no way in '''Hell''' the viewers were ever going to forgive Mark. (Which is probably why he was [[Put Onon a Bus]] between Seasons 2 and 3.)
* [[Pandering to Thethe Base|Pandering To The]] [[Periphery Demographic]]: The show was supposedly aimed at a female audience. However, it garnered a ''very'' large straight male fanbase mainly through extensive sex scenes, reducing gay guys to background extras, making one of the girls bisexual (which ensured a straight guy would participate from time to time) and making straight guys prominent in the supporting cast. ''Actual'' lesbians didn't miss that and often denounced the whole show because of the blatant pandering.
* [[The Scrappy]]: Jenny, to <s>some</s> <s>many</s> almost all viewers. There wasn't a viewer who didn't cringe every time Tonya opened her mouth.
** Niki. The party girl closeted lesbian actress who uses a [[beard]] and who dates older women. She was based on [[Lindsay Lohan]]. This was confirmed as fact by the actress.
