Line 2:
'''Judson Birza'''
 
* [[And the Fandom Rejoiced]]: While there were people who would have preferred Chase or Sash (or even Jane) he is one of the few winners whose victory wasn't a [[Base Breaker]] like Natalie and Sandra's in the seasons before.
* [[Badass Adorable]]
* [[Badass Long Hair]]
* [[Born Winner]]
* [[Crouching Moron, Hidden Badass]]: And how! For most of the game, he seems like nothing more than a clumsy, amiable doofus. Then, with about three episodes to go<ref>(and you can literally spot the exact point in the game where he decides to do this)</ref>, he abruptly drops the harmless act and morphs into an unstoppable challenge machine. He also subtly maneuvers Sash and Chase into not only voting off Jane, but also making themselves look like [[Jerkass|JerkAsses]] at tribal council (in full view of the jury).
* [[Crowning Moment of Awesome]]: His immunity run at the end, as well as how he managed to manipulate Chase and Sash into showing their alliance to everyone.
* [[Dumb Blond]]: Subverted, although he admits he ''does'' play that role sometimes.
* [[Mr. Fanservice]]
* [[Genius Ditz]]
Line 15:
* [[Keet]]
* [[Kid Appeal Character]]
* [[Kid Hero]]: He's 21 - and certainly ''looks'' the part!
* [[Magnetic Hero]]: NaOnka, ''his'' [[Sitcom Arch Nemesis]], voted for him in the end. Not to mention the people cheering at him to win in the finale.
* [[Obfuscating Stupidity]]: Big time. Perhaps one of the best people to pull this card next to Natalie from ''Samoa'' and Vecepia from ''Marquesas''.
* [[Only Known by Their Nickname]]: Fabio.
* [[Sole Survivor]]: The youngest ever to do so.
* [[Took a Level In Badass]]
* [[Unlikely Hero]]: Who thought that this guy was going to be at the ''merge'' let alone ''win''? Getting the fishing hook caught in his finger and not realizing crabs could pinch had people wonder if he'd get himself evacuated.
* [[Worthy Opponent]]: Some players thought he'd have been ''perfect'' to have taken out Russell and Rob (who, ironically, were in the ''next'' season).
 
Line 29:
* [[Chronic Backstabbing Disorder]]: On the one hand, he seemed to be reluctant or feel remorse every time he betrayed an ally or broke a promise. On the other, he just kept on doing it.
* [[Good Ol' Boy]]
* [[Mr. Fanservice]]: He certainly looks pretty good!
* [[Nice Hat|Nice Cap]]
* [[Noble Demon]]
Line 42:
* [[Backstab Backfire]]: His refusal to give Brenda his immunity idol when she needed it ended up biting him in the ass during the final jury questioning.
* [[The Chessmaster]]
* [[Chronic Backstabbing Disorder]]: Unlike Chase, didn't really seem as remorseful to have done so.
* [[The Dandy]]: Wears an expensive-looking three-piece suit to the finale.
* [[Idiot Ball]]: After the tribal shuffle, he immediately starts targeting Marty since he's the strongest strategically and has an idol. Eventually, it comes to a tie between Marty and Kelly B at tribal (Marty did ''not'' play his idol), and during the revote... he votes for Kelly, giving Marty ample opportunity to cause more dissent against him and Brenda.
Line 50:
* [[Mistaken for Gay]]: By Shannon. [[Hilarity Ensues]]!
* [[Noble Demon]]
* [[Noodle Incident]]: ''Something'' involving Sash got edited out of the tribal council in Jane's last episode which all of the players are apparently under strict orders not to discuss. It's implied in both his and Jane's voting confessionals (available from CBS's website) <ref>Jane's in particular shows obvious censoring</ref>, and it's notable that Jane abruptly changes her vote without explanation (from intending to vote Holly, which made the most strategic sense, to voting for Sash, even though she knew perfectly well his immunity idol would nullify it). It's been speculated that this may have contributed to him getting no votes at the end.
* [[Only Known by Their Nickname]]: Sash.
* [[Poor Communication Kills]]: Tries pandering to the jury too much, and as a result gets no votes.
Line 69:
'''Dan Lembo'''
 
* [[Elimination Houdini]]: No good at challenges at all - even ''sitting out'' of a lot of challenges and manages to finish in fifth.
* [[Intergenerational Friendship]]: With Fabio
* [[The Load]]: [[Genre Savvy|The reason other players]] let him get that far.
* [[Older Sidekick]]: By default, given that he is the oldest cast member (this season) alongside Jimmy J.
* [["The Reason You Suck" Speech]]: ''Slams'' Sash and Chase at the jury questioning.
Line 78:
'''Jane Bright'''
 
* [[Arch Enemy]]: To Marty, somewhat inexplicably. The source of her resentment is never really explained, and he's clearly baffled by it.
* [[Base Breaker]]: Either she's ''really'' good at this game and doesn't get enough appreciation for it, or she's lucky to have survived as far as she did. Alternatively, she's either a charming and feisty old lady who takes no guff from anyone, or a spiteful and [[Cute and Psycho|mentally-unstable]] hypocrite with a nasty vicious streak.
* [[Cool Old Lady]]: In. Spades.
* [[Disproportionate Retribution]]: Jane can get downright scary if she even ''thinks'' she's been betrayed or slighted. Her reaction to learning she was about to be voted out practically makes [[Survivor (TV series)/Characters/Africa|Lex]] look civilized.
* [[Ensemble Darkhorse]]: It wasn't even close for the Fan Favorite.
* [[Genre Savvy]]: Quoted Jeff Probst on why people don't know how to make fire.
* [[Hair of Gold]]
Line 90:
* [[Irrational Hatred]]: Nurses a bitter grudge against Marty throughout the entire game, for reasons unknown. This includes ranting that he's a wretched scumbag at every opportunity, trying (with some success) to turn other players against him, and calling him a worthless failure as a father. When asked at the reunion, she claims that she felt Marty didn't respect her, even though he'd repeatedly told anyone who'd listen that Jane was the most dangerous player in the game.
* [[Never Mess with Granny]]: ''And Holy Shit How!'' She regularly beat men half her age in challenges. Not to mention what happened when she was told she would be voted out...
* [[Noodle Incident]]: ''Something'' certainly happened at her final tribal council, which CBS edited out from what was broadcast, and which all of the players are under orders not to discuss. According to rumors, she accused Sash of secretly offering (earlier in the game) to pay off her mortgage if she helped him win. He denied it, and there was no way of knowing which of them was lying. If true, it would've been illegal (and if not, it was slander), so CBS edited it out and ordered everyone to stay quiet. Evidently nothing more was done as they didn't want two more people being ejected after NaOnka and Purple Kelly quit.
* [[Shocking Elimination]]: A lot of fans thought she'd have made it to the finals.
 
'''Ben Henry'''
 
* [[The Big Guy]]
* [[Only Known by Their Nickname]]: Benry.
* [[Out of Focus]]
 
Line 115:
 
* [[Evil Teacher]]: She's a ''gym teacher''.
** Alicia Rosa from the ''One World'' season drew comparisons to her in the first episode.
* [[Foe Yay]]: With Fabio and Kelly B. You gotta admit though...she ''did'' get Fabio to go along with a gameplay plan [[Enemy Mine|despite ''hating'' him]]. Even some of her haters had to admit that getting Fabio on board was a good gameplay move.
* [[Jerkass]]
* [[Jerkass Woobie]]: Came across as this near the end, especially when it got hard for her and she felt like quitting.
Line 155:
'''Alina Wilson'''
 
* [[Informed Ability]]: At merge, she's public enemy number one. Exactly ''why''?! Chances are, she was just annoying people.
* [[Redheaded Hero|Red Headed Heroine]]
 
Line 169:
* [[Absurdly Youthful Mother]]
* [[Cool Old Lady]]
* [[Older Than They Look]]: She's ''41''.
* [[Spicy Latina]]
* [[Tall, Dark and Bishoujo]]
* [[We Hardly Knew Ye]]: Yve was eliminated at perhaps the worst time in the game. The first two or so survivors are at least spoken to at the reunion - people eliminated right before the merge? Almost never see them unless it was a [[Shocking Elimination]] of some kind or [[Non Gameplay Elimination]]. Jeff Probst didn't even ''look'' at her at the reunion. Shame since she probably had the best chance of winning next to Jane on her tribe.
 
'''Kelly Bruno'''
Line 189:
* [[Bald of Awesome]]
* [[Cool Old Guy]]
* [[Older Than They Look]]: He's ''42''.
* [[Too Cool to Live]]
* [[You Have Outlived Your Usefulness]]
Line 197:
* [[The Complainer Is Always Wrong]]
* [[Glory Seeker]]
* [[Name's the Same]]: Occasionally called ''J.T.'' by his teammates.
* [[One Steve Limit]]: With Jimmy J.
* [[Only Known by Their Nickname]]: Jimmy T.
Line 210:
* [[Hey, It's That Guy!]]: He's a Super Bowl-winning head coach.
* [[Name's the Same]]: Occasionally called ''Coach'' by his teammates.
* [[One Steve Limit]]: With Jimmy T.
* [[Promoted Fanboy]]
* [[Something Completely Different]]: He showed absolutely no interest in playing the game, and was just there for the "experience." He even said that if he won, he would donate the million dollars to charity.
Line 222:
* [[Jerkass]]
* [[Jerk Jock]]
* [[Tall, Dark and Snarky]]
 
'''Wendy DeSmidt-Kohlhoff'''
Line 228:
* [[Farm Boy|Farm Girl]]
* [[Nice Hat]]: And skirt.
* [[ScheherezadeScheherazade Gambit]]: It failed.
* [[Talkative Loon]]: It's especially obvious when she has probably the longest confessional in Survivor history explaining how she'd probably get out because she talks too much.
