** Tom in ''All-Stars'' just barely touched the idiot ball when he called himself the swing vote between the Rob-Amber alliance and the Rupert-Jenna alliance. Normally not a bad thing to say to the [[Confession Cam]], but instead, he [[Too Dumb to Live|did it right to Rob's face. At the final five.]] That was all an already wary Rob needed to turn the vote against Tom and send him packing.

* [[Iron Woobie]]: Stephenie LaGrossa is seen as this first in ''Palau'' when she was alone on the Ulong tribe, and then ''again'' after ''Heroes vs. Villains'' - some unconfirmed rumours state that she was eliminated because she was still hurting from having her ''shoulder dislocated'' in the ''first challenge in the game''. (Would explain why she was voted out over that Candice girl nobody really knew.)

* [[Its the Same So It Sucks]]: Some of the criticisms of the show for returning to previous filming locations (Panama, Samoa). Even some of the ''producers'' have thought this, but in between the weather<ref>Samoa got hit by a tsunami barely a week after ''Heroes vs Villains'' finished filming</ref> and political unrest,<ref>The Fijian Coup de'tat even happened ''as the season was being wrapped up''. Plus, Jordan was considered as a location for the show once but canned due to 9/11.</ref> finding a new location for the show is easier said than done, especially since they have to have worthy housing for ''three hundred'' people. They even stated that some locations are out due to problems with the area, such as ''Africa'' wherein everyone was sick and too hot to do anything, ''Guatemala'' where the temperature would regularly be over one hundred degrees F, or ''Marquesas'' where the insects inflicted quite a bit of discomfort amongst the contestants and staff. Therefore, reusing locations is a bit of a necessary evil, and even plenty of the staff would love to go to new locations too.

** It's also been speculated that they always have to film it on an island away from civilization or in the event of a mainland one like Gabon, China, or Amazon, in a ''very'' secluded area due to speculations of people trying to fly or drive into the filming area(s) and spoil or disrupt the game. It's speculated that's why they won't film it in Australia again, or try Alaska.

** From ''One World'', Christina. The entire tribe yells at her in the first three days. Then when the tribes are switched around, everyone else is mean to her. Tarzan even says ''to her face'' that he would not be friends with her. Anyone ''not'' want to give her a hug?
