 * The Chessmaster
 * Cool Big Bro: To Becky.

Oscar Lusth


 * Badass
 * The Big Guy: Subverted; he was definitely this for the Aitu Four, but he's not actually physically big in the slightest.
 * Breakout Character
 * Determinator: He really did fight to make sure the Aitu 4 went into the merge intact.
 * Mr. Fanservice
 * Hard Work Hardly Works
 * Ineffectual Loner: Despite the jury acknowledging him as a Worthy Opponent, the main reason he lost is due to being this.

 * Black Best Friend: To the Aitu 4 in general.
 * The Chick.

 * Graceful Loser
 * Hot Amazon
 * Plucky Girl

Adam Gentry


 * The Big Guy
 * Chekhov's Gun: Made a last-minute deal with Yul that if the Aitu 4 voted Jonathan out before him or Parvati, Yul would get Adam's jury vote. Yul agreed and voted Jonathan out, and true to his word, Adam voted for Yul to win.
 * Mr. Fanservice
 * Hair of Gold
 * Jerkass
 * Romance On the Set: With Candice.
 * Smug Snake

Parvati Shallow


 * Action Girl
 * Badass
 * The Charmer
 * Cute Bruiser
 * Femme Fatale
 * Hello, Nurse!
 * I Lied: Told Yul that if they kept her, she'd vote for him at the end. She then votes for Ozzy.
 * Lovable Alpha Bitch
 * Male Gaze
 * Ms. Fanservice
 * Plucky Girl
 * Tall, Dark and Bishoujo
 * The Tease

Jonathan Penner


 * Badass
 * Chronic Backstabbing Disorder
 * Cool Old Guy
 * Dangerously Genre Savvy: The only Raro member that even considers the possibility that Yul could have the idol, which ends up playing a big role in his decision to flip back to Aitu.
 * The Dog Bites Back: After switching tribes, he promptly found that he wasn't actually that liked or wanted on his new one, but the Raro alliance kept him around because he was a good provider of food and they felt that he'd already burned his bridge with the Aitu Four so he had nowhere to go. Instead, post-merge he flipped back to the Aitu Four and helped to further sink Raro's chances of winning.
 * Elimination Statement: "And I'd like my hat back at some point."
 * Grumpy Old Man
 * Happily Married
 * Hot Dad
 * Nice Hat
 * The Quisling
 * Sitcom Arch Nemesis: To Jeff himself.
 * Tall, Dark and Snarky
 * Turncoat
 * Ungrateful Bastard

Candice Woodcock


 * Chronic Backstabbing Disorder
 * Hair of Gold
 * Hello, Nurse!: Bonus points that she's a medical student.
 * Hospital Hottie
 * Humiliation Conga / Disproportionate Retribution: Guess who gets sent to Exile Island nearly every time the Aitu Four can determine it after she turns on the tribe? Most notably for this trope, the time that Becky won the right to banish her to Exile Island in an auction challenge and to add insult to injury, got to take all her money for said challenge too. Ouch.
 * Male Gaze
 * Plucky Girl
 * The Quisling
 * Romance On the Set: With Adam.
 * Thirteen Is Unlucky: Thirteenth person voted off in the thirteenth season. Ouch.
 * Turncoat
 * Ungrateful Bitch

Nate Gonzalez


 * Black Best Friend: With Adam
 * Large Ham
 * The Nicknamer: At the Final Tribal Council, he deems Yul to be "The Godfather" and Ozzy to be "The Warrior".
 * Smart People Wear Glasses
 * Suspiciously Similar Substitute: His play style and personality are very similar to Sean Rector's.
 * Totally Radical

Jenny Guzon-Bae


 * The Cassandra: Tries to convince Raro that keeping Jonathan would be a bad move considering he had a high chance of flipping back to Aitu at the merge.
 * Diabolus Ex Machina: She's voted out in a vote right after Rebecca, with little-to-no time for strategising or scrambling. She's, not surprisingly, miffed at how that went down.
 * Last of Her Kind: The last Asian on Raro, which the tribe sans Nate believed was good enough reason to keep her from the merge, seeing as Becky and Yul were still on Aitu and they feared she would flip back.
 * Older Than She Looks: Would you believe she's 36? She barely looks a day over her twenties.

Rebecca Boreman


 * Heterosexual Life Partners: With Sundra, at least on Hiki.
 * Out of Focus: The only castaway up to that point to not get last words.

Brad Virata


 * Camp Gay

Jessica Smith


 * Expy: Of Courtney Marit from the previous season... at least in terms of fashion – not so much the latter's bipolar personality.
 * Granola Girl
 * Known Only By Their Nickname: "Flica"
 * Odd Friendship: With Cao Boi and Ozzy to a lesser extent.
 * Something Completely Different: Most people go onto Survivor to win it - others are at least looking for their fifteen minutes of fame. Jessica is one of the only people in the show's recent run who went onto Survivor simply for the experience. Indeed, she seems repelled at the very idea of trying to vote people out strategically, much to her ally Jonathan's frustration.
 * Strange Girl: Strange for a game like Survivor, at least. She seems very anxious to avoid offending anybody, and just acts hurt and confused when people try to talk strategy to her.

Christina Coria


 * Alliterative Name
 * Badass
 * Vasquez Always Dies: Appropriate, considering she was both the toughest female and the toughest Hispanic.

Anh-Tuan Bui


 * Badass
 * Badass Beard
 * Cassandra Truth: He wanted Jonathan and Candice out because he didn't trust them and thought they'd turn on Aitu. Lo and behold, a couple challenges later...
 * Cloudcuckoolander
 * Irony: He never once considered that Yul would have the idol, which was made apparent when he made sure that Yul is the first to know of "Plan Voodoo."
 * Known Only By Their Nickname: "Cao Boi"
 * New Age Retro Hippie: He even said that he identifies more so as a hippie than as an asian.
 * Odd Friendship: With Ozzy and Flicka
 * Pyromaniac
 * Cooky Old Asian Guy Has A Point: Even though he was totally irrelevant to the overall story of Cook Islands, Cao Boi did technically invent the idea of splitting up the votes in order to flush out the hidden immunity idol as well as maintain majority control of the tribe, AKA "Plan Voodoo."
 * Younger Than They Look: Cao Boi was around 42 years old in Cook Islands, but looks at least ten years older.

Stephannie Favor


 * Disproportionate Retribution: She told Nate she wished she had some "mashed potatoes and gravy" - Nate uses this against her by telling the tribe that she's given up and wants to go home, despite not even saying that in the slightest (at least not that episode).

Jean-Paul Calderon


 * Mr. Fanservice
 * Graceful Loser: Surprisingly so.
 * Hey, It's That Guy!: Went on to become a model for The Janice Dickenson Modelling Agency.
 * Jerk Jock: Especially to Billy, but he eventually irritates his other tribemates as well through his bossy, entitled attitude.
 * Latin Lover
 * Only Known By Their Nickname: "J.P.".
 * Shocking Elimination
 * Straight Gay
 * Straw Misogynist

Cecilia Mansilla


 * Living Prop
 * Out of Focus
 * Spicy Latina

Billy Garcia


 * Ascended Fanboy
 * Romance On the Set: With Candice before his elimination. Or, well, he thought it was.
 * The Load: His team threw the challenge so they could vote him off.
 * One of Us
 * Too Clever By Half: According to Billy, Ozzy told him that the real reason he wanted him gone immediately was that he was a Survivor superfan and Ozzy didn't want someone like that going too far.

Sekou Bunch


 * Bald Black Leader Guy: Subverted. The tribe minus Nate saw him as a terrible leader and wanted him out.
 * The Cast Showoff: During the Reunion.
 * The Load
