Line 13:
* [[The Bad Guy Wins]]
* [[Batman Gambit]]: Throwing the final challenge. He correctly assumed that Kelly would win and vote out Rudy, ensuring that ''he'' didn't have to vote out Rudy. Although they were extremely loyal allies throughout the whole game, Richard believed that he couldn't win against Rudy, so if he had won, he would have voted him vote over Kelly. This raises the possibility of Rudy feeling betrayed by Rich and voting for Kelly, so by throwing the challenge, Richard gets to throw the dirt onto Kelly. He also knew that Kelly felt the same way about Rudy(that she couldn't win against him, but could possibly win against Richard). He also waited long enough to get the temptation(food, in this case oranges) from the host.
* [[Big Bad]]/[[Anti
* [[The Chessmaster]]
* [[Evil Genius]] / [[The Smart Guy]]
Line 22:
* [[Manipulative Bastard]]
* [[Naked People Are Funny]]
* [[
* [[Intergenerational Friendship|Intergenerational]] [[Odd Friendship]]: With Rudy.
* [[Self
{{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)|Survivors]] first successful alliance.
* [[Sole Survivor]]: The [[Ur Example]].
Line 48:
* [[Sixth Ranger Traitor]]: To the Tagi alliance.
* [[Spanner in The Works]]: How she outlasted Colleen, Sean, Sue, and Rudy. They liked Colleen more than Kelly, especially after Kelly defected, but when she won immunity...
* [[Tall, Dark and Bishoujo]]
Line 64:
* [[Fish Out of Water]]/ [[Only Sane Man]]: Rudy's age and extensive military background make him very uncomfortable around his much younger civilian tribe-mates, but unlike B.B on Pagong, he understands that he's outnumbered and has to work with them rather than trying to impose his way of living.
* [[Grumpy Old Man]]
* [[Hair
* [[I'm a Humanitarian]]: In a bonus scene from the "Greatest and Most Outrageous Moments" DVD, he mentions that he won't eat a rat until he's truly starving, "And then I might eat my buddy", with Richard standing right next to him.
* [[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.
Line 78:
* [[Annoying Laugh]]: To anyone not from Wisconsin.
* [[Cool Shades]]
* [[Cluster F
* [[Foe Yay]]: With Kelly.
* [[Hair
* [[Ice Queen]]
* [[Ladette]]: Greg outright calls her "A Boy Named Sue" at one point.
Line 87:
* [[Obfuscating Stupidity]]: Sue claims that this was part of her strategy. Odds are she's decidedly smarter than she initially let on (right up until she snapped at Colleen at a Tribal Council for complaining about the alliance and likened it to corporate lobbyists), but perhaps not as smart as she thought she was.
* [[Only Known By Their Nickname]]: Sue.
* [["The Reason You Suck" Speech]] and [[Take That]]: Her "Rats and Snakes" speech.
* [[The Dragon]] or [[The Starscream]]: Depending on what point of the season it is she's either the most ardent supporter of Richard's alliance or planning to backstab him with Kelly.
Line 100:
* [[Honor Before Reason]]: The alphabet strategy.
* [[Nice Hat]]
* [[Nice Job Breaking It, Hero]]: His early post-merge decision to openly vote for people based on alphabetical order is what ultimately costs Pagong their last chance to topple the Richard/Sue/Rudy/Kelly alliance.
* [[Odd Friendship]]: With Richard
* [[Tall, Dark and Handsome]]
* [[The Slacker]]: Briefly with Dirk. He gets better, shortly before Dirk is voted off.
* [[The Smart Guy]]
Line 137:
* [[Ms. Fanservice]]
* [[Plucky Girl]]
* [[Tall, Dark and Bishoujo|Tall Blond And Bishoujo]]
* [[Wall of Blather]]: One thing that almost everyone who plays with Jenna says is that she never, ever shuts up. When she was getting voted off, Rudy even said in the voting booth that "I'm eliminating the big mouth".
Line 148:
* [[Bishounen]]
* [[Biting the Hand Humor]]: His general mockery of the show, especially the supposed seriousness of Tribal Council, counts as this.
* [[Brother
* [[Bunny Ears Lawyer]]
* [[Cloudcuckoolander]]
Line 158:
* [[Large Ham]]
* [[Mr. Fanservice]]
* [[Nice Character, Mean Actor]]: Perhaps not mean as much as supposedly incredibly difficult to deal with and edit around. Apparently he drove Jeff Probst and the production crew nuts.
* [[Romance On the Set]]: With Colleen (Though they claimed it was only friendship). He may have been deliberately invoking this trope as another parody moment.
* [[Stealth Parody]]: Several, but his "pick a number" request is perhaps the most well known.
Line 171:
* [[Hot Mom]]
* [[Intergenerational Friendship]]: With B.B
* [[Nice Job Breaking It, Hero]]: Even though Gretchen was a great inspirational leader for Pagong and the one who knew the most about wilderness survival, she was also the one most responsible for Pagong coming into the merge naive and unprepared for the threat that was the Tagi Alliance. Some contestants (such as Joel, and later on, Colleen, Jenna, and Gervase) were perfectly willing to make alliances, and there's a possibility that they would have formed one earlier had Gretchen not convinced them that alliance making was wrong.
* [[Oh Crap]]: When she realizes that she's about to be eliminated.
* [[Redheaded Hero]]
Line 220:
* [[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".
* [[Pointy
* [[Stupid Boss]]: Gretchen repeatedely told him that the Pagong shelter should be moved back farther from the ocean, but he didn't listen until the said shelter was almost flooded.
* [[Suicide By Cop]]: He asked to be voted off, and even admits it several times during his boot episode. Interestingly, Mark Burnett makes an (possibly apocryphal) anecdote in the Borneo companion book about the psychologist who used to work for the show, Gene Ondrusek, and how he actually convinced B.B to quit the show when going through the pre-show tests.
