Line 5:
* [[Badass Beard]]
* [[Badass Boast]]: Before he was even officially ''cast'', here's what he had to say to Mark Burnett, Jeff Probst, and Les Moonves:
{{quote| You know you're going to pick me, but what you don't know is that I'm going to ''win''. And after I win, I'm going to host ''next'' year's show.}}
** Of course, on the very first day of Borneo, he said this:
{{quote| I'm good to go survival-wise. People-wise, it'll be a little more challengin', but I've got the million-dollar check written already. I mean, I'm the winner. It's that kind of cocky attitude that makes people really hate your guts. So, that's the kind of thing I have to keep under wraps.}}
** Again, in Episode 9, referring to to the last Tribal Council where Sean referred to Richard's fishing as the reason he hasn't been voted out yet:
{{quote| ...Catching fish makes people happy, but that's not the reason they're voting me here. They're not voting me off because ''I'm not letting them.''}}
* [[Badass Gay]]
* [[The Bad Guy Wins]]
Line 25:
* [[Intergenerational Friendship|Intergenerational]] [[Odd Friendship]]: With Rudy.
* [[Self-Deprecation]]:
{{quote| (Referring to Rudy) They think ''he's'' arrogant? I'm out of here!}}
* [[Small Name, Big Ego]]: [[Subverted Trope|Subverted]]. While Richard is the first person to admit that he's an arrogant bastard, in this case he really ''is'' the smartest guy in the room(...er, on the island).
* [[Smug Snake]]: Early on. But by episode four, he shows that he knows what he's talking about when he forms [[Survivor (TV series)|Survivors]] first successful alliance.
Line 68:
* [[Jerk with a Heart of Gold]]: Made blunt remarks about sexuality, incest, and when he thought people were idiots amongst other things and that was part of his charm.
* [[Intergenerational Friendship|Intergenerational]] [[Odd Friendship]]: With Richard
{{quote| [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v{{=}}eoCLK6KKMt8 Me and Richard got to be pretty good friends,(but) not in a homosexual way. That's for sure.]}}
* [[Old Soldier]]
* [[Team Chef]]: The cooking area even had a homemade plaque reading "Rowdy Rudy's Diner".
Line 217:
* [[Digging Yourself Deeper]]: Unlike Rudy, B.B refused to alter his aggressive Type A personality in order to work with his tribe. Gervase even references this very trope just before Pagong heads to Tribal Council by saying that B.B dug his own grave.
* [[Fish Out of Water]]: B.B was the oldest member of the youth dominated Pagong tribe, and his age combined with his abrasive personality didn't let him fit in. Or as best summed up by Greg:
{{quote| '''Greg''': "B.B's a good guy. He's pretty strong willed and he's got his plan as well. He's caring. He commands respect. Definitely feels the difference between his age and other people, and doesn't want to seem to bridge that gap as much as just be who he is." }}
* [[Grumpy Old Man]]
* [[Intergenerational Friendship]]: With Gretchen. Had good things to say about Jenna and Greg, though he didn't take the time to know Jenna's name and mistakenly thought Greg was named "Craig".
