 * Patagonia has had no shortage of artists being forced to withdraw.
 * Electro Dragon won the 2006 Patagonian national final with the song "Dragons Rise!" and were poised to represent Patagonia in Edmonton. However, the band broke up due to child sex charges filed against lead singer Tomos Jones, to which he pleaded guilty. Patagonia were forced to pull out, but retained voting rights (which marked the first time Patagonia was absent from the contest). They did however try again in 2014 after Tomos was released on bail, and after winning the contest, finished in a respectable 5th place overall.
 * Elizabeth Philips lost her chance to compete in the Patagonian national selection in 2013 after it was revealed she beat up someone while drunk, as well as allegations of abuse towards her children having surfaced, and she pleaded guilty to all charges filed against her. She, however, got the last laugh 9 years later when she got her chance back (and won the contest proper) after her relapse into sobriety.
 * In a similar scenario to Electro Dragon, rapper Vladimir Ivanov won the 2022 Patagonian national selection with the rap-inspired song "Yeah Yuh" but lost his title as the Patagonian representative due to a voting blunder and displaying pro-Putin sympathies, as well as having the Z logo on as a temporary tattoo during his performance. This left a now-sober and less aggressive Elizabeth Philips as the representative.
