History Characters / Endurance

* TheWorseningCurseMark: Averted in regards to the three-temple curse; They broke the Three-Temple Curse. However, they would not survive their [[FourIsDeath fourth trip]]. As for the Gray gets eliminated first curse though (not counting the colorless team of Garret and Anne), their actions outright sealed their fate by first giving the samadhi to Gray and then leaking Darci's strategy to Yellow.

* AscendedFanboy: Daniela

* ControlFreak: Jeszie ideally like to have control over her partner and even stated she didn't want Franke as a partner because she didn't believe she could control him. This did at times clashed with Isaac if she wanted to target someone who was close to him.

The original Gray team was Connor and Darci, formed by Max and Kristine, but Connor was switched with Ike from Blue. Gray ended up as an early target of just about all of the other teams, mainly because of Ike's unpopularity

* AllOfTheOtherReindeer: While still on Blue, many people didn't like how Ike kept asking people who they would give the samadhi to and it made Blue a target by nearly everyone. When he was switched to Gray to be Darci's partner, he was still targeted. Even their formers teammates went along with this by giving them the samadhi and then informed Yellow of Darci's temple of fate strategy in order to ensure Gray would be eliminated. The remaining players though, particularly Connor, did express regret over doing this not long after Gray's elimination.

* NiceHat: Max

* NiceHat: Shea

* NiceHat: Kyle's jester hat.

* NiceHat: Cinnamon had that red bandanna.

* DidntThinkThisThrough: Max decided to give on during the mission in ''Fill and Spill'' once it was just him and Dakota on the promise that Dakota would do his team well. Max only realized after doing this that by letting Purple win, he had just given up an opportunity to get his team another pyramid piece (one the rewards for the mission in addition to creating the superteams). It also meant he had no control of the superteams as he wanted to be paired with Blue and Yellow so that he would be save if whether he won or lost the following superteam mission as his alliance member properly wouldn't send them. Purple instead put Orange with themselves and Red, giving Green the de facto free ride. The latter became moot though as Purple won on behalf of Red and Orange so they were still safe.

* TheSocialExpert: Ashley. This came in handy in the Squeeze Play mission since it was based around what everyone guess got the most the popular response toward survey questions and Ashley was the only one to get every single question correct, thus winning the mission for the team.

* WeHardlyKnewYe: Compared to the other members of their alliance, Kareem and Rachel were quieter. Their lack of success in missions didn't help either.

* TheLoad: While Erika is one of the strongest contestants this season (being the reason Red won both ''Drop Out'' and ''Circle of Trust''), Franke tended to be one of least strongest which is apparent in missions that require strength to win. This was particularly apparent in ''Hang 5'' where Red was the worst performing team. Jeszie even use that in her reasoning for her claims that Red wasn't as strong as Purple. Downplayed in Spin Fly where Franke got 2 pyramid pieces for red while Erika got 1. He also believed he would have done well in ''Cubed'' but the samadhi and Purple's fast win prevented him from proving this.

* TheAce: They were in control throughout the game.
** BrokenAce: After winning three straight missions in a row, their teamwork deteriorated following a big fight, which showed in challenges, and they were the first team eliminated in "Circle of Trust (in fairness, they were handicapped by Purple in that mission).

* TeethClenchedTeamwork: While they were able to work quite well in missions, their relationship did deteriorate a bit when it came to deciding who they should target. This was seen in ''Fireball'' were they had some disagreement about whether to send Blue (which Jeszie wanted) or Orange (which Isaac wanted) but even more prevalent in ''Hang 5'' where it became a shouting match over who to give the samadhi to and ultimately only gave it to Red because they offered to take it.

* ButtMonkey: The only reason this persisted is because both contestants were quiet.

Not long after Layla formed the red team, she was paired with Brandon by Jenna when she caught the purple ball. They weren't suppose to be paired together, according to Jonna's list, they seemed to work well together. Brandon was a member of the short lived Brotherhood alliance.

* {{Meganekko}}: Darci

* {{Meganekko}}: Annie in her last episodes.

* ControlFreak: Jeszie ideally like to have control over her partner and even stated she didn't want Franke as a partner because she didn't believe she could control him. This did at times clashed with Issac if she wanted to target someone who was close to him.

* TheLoad: While Erika is one of the strongest contestants this season (being the reason Red won both ''Drop Out'' and ''Circle of Trust''), Franke tended to be one of least strongest which is apparent in missions that require strength to win. This was particularly apparent in ''Hang 5'' where Red was the worst performing team. Jeszie even use that in her reasoning for her claims that Red wasn't as strong as Purple. Downplayed in Spin Fly where Frankee got 2 pyramid pieces for red while Erika got 1.

* ControlFreak: Jeszie ideally like to have control over her partner and even stated she didn't want Frankie as a partner because she didn't believe she could control him. This did at times clashed with Issac if she wanted to target someone who was close to him.

* SelfFulfillingProphecy: Connor was concerned about originally being on Gray due the tendency of past Gray teams being eliminated first. While he was able to avoid this himself thanks to being switched to Blue, he and Taylor actively hindered the new Gray team by giving them a samadhi and then told Yellow Darci's temple strategy. Had Connor done either, Gray might not have been the first colored team eliminated this season.

* CantCatchUp: After failing to complete a single lap due to constantly falling in the water (every other contestant was able to complete one) and losing energy with every fall, Martina decided to quit during the challenge. Granted, she would have needed to complete 5 laps before 2 of the other girls in order to stay. Adrian and Rafael also struggled to the point that they failed to complete a lap which allowed Cameron and Ike (who also really struggled in the mission) to complete their laps with a massive leap. Stefanie was slightly downplayed as it was relatively close race between her and Anna for the final spot.

* CharacterDevelopment: When she got Monroe for a partner, Bryanah didn't want him and it looked like they would fall apart; however, she learned to work with him.

* TheWorseningCurseMark: Averted; They broke the Three-Temple Curse. However, they would not survive their [[FourIsDeath fourth trip]].

* TheAce: They were both good mentally and with teamwork, winning three missions throughout the season. Their friendships with the other strong teams (Brown and Purple) also helped keep them safe from temple whenever they didn't win a temple mission.

* ThePowerOfFriendship: As J.D. pointed out, their friendship with the green team was a big reason why they made it to the finale. This was because each try to the protect each other as much as could. Downplayed after the final temple mission when Purple gave Green the samadhi as they would not be able to protect each other in the final temple mission.

Formed by Connor and Darci, neither really wanted to be paired with each other. Garret wanted Cealey and Anna didn't want Garret. They were only a team for a brief team since a twist meant they had to compete in a challenge where the last place team was automatically eliminated and that was ultimately them, hence their lack of a color. It was said that both members were close with Red but they instead choose to give the triangle of immunity to purple.

* HatedByAll: Nobody wanted Garret for a partner. He was not well liked by the guys either. Some even planned to pair him with Taylor so that they both potentially be eliminated in one go (he ended up with Anna though as Ike apparently told Connor he wanted Taylor).

The team was first formed when Ashley caught the Blue ball, and partnered them up according to the List. From the outset, the Blue Team was the strongest team on the island: they managed to win the first two Temple Missions in a row. They also established an earlier alliance: the Brotherhood, along with Green, Purple, and Orange. However, they would immediately break off when the Blue Team gave the first Samadhi to Orange, and sent Green up to the Temple of Fate, along with Gray, with the intent that Green would be eliminated. When Green returned, both teams turned against Blue for their supposed betrayal. Instead, largely due to Aaron's crush on Sabrina (which she exploited) and his friendship with Christian, instead allied with Yellow and REd.

Tyler and Michelle did not get along at first. Michelle was very motivated to win the game while Tyler felt homesick and wanted to leave. They also rarely talked to each other at the beginning and fared poorly in missions. This made them an easy target during the initial part of the game when the stronger teams didn't want to make enemies of other strong teams too early in the game. According to Purple, Orange early on was in an alliance them and Gray though Purple ended up giving Orange the first samadhi. They gradually began to work better with each other as time went on.

** JerkassWithAHeartOfGold: She consoled Kelsey when the latter didn't win enough votes to get the free ride. And when Taylor was eliminated, Cealey said she loved her.

* ZeroPercentApprovalRating: Both team members were disliked for riding on Purple's coattails; when the eliminated teams voted to give a final 3 team an advantage for the Final Temple Mission, neither Alex or Cealey got any votes. In contrast, every other player still in the game at that point got at least 1 vote.

* ZeroPercentApprovalRating: Nobody wanted Garret for a partner. He was not well liked by the guys either. Some even planned to pair him with Taylor so that they both potentially be eliminated in one go (he ended up with Anna though as Ike apparently told Connor he wanted Taylor).

* FourIsDeath: They would not survive their fourth trip to temple.

* TheWorseningCurseMark: Averted; They broke the Three-Temple Curse.

* AlwaysSecondBest: In teamwork based missions, Red was often one of the better performing teams but tended to be overtaken by either Green (Waterworks, Fireball) or Purple (Raft Pull, Create Your Own Game). Averted for

Daniela originally wanted Michael as a partner but Chris instead paired her with Jonathan. While she was at first quite upset about this, the pair learned to work together and, despite being considered an underdog team, did quite well in some of the missions. Jonathan was quite close to Isaac and Chris, thus creating a Purple-Green-Yellow alliance.

* [[NiceGuy Nice Girl]]: Amelia. After Purple lost ''Waterworks'' (and thus guaranteed to go to temple if they didn't win the following temple mission), she tried to cheer Daniela up by pointing out that there was a still a potential way out. This is despite the fact that when purple won the first temple mission, they sent Blue (and eliminated Blue's closest friends, Gray, in the process). Moreover, when Green was having a hard time deciding who to give the samedhi to after winning ''Hang 5'', she offered to take the samedhi.

* TheLoad: While Erika is one of the strongest contestants this season (being the main reason Red won both ''Drop Out'' and ''Circle of Trust''), Franke tended to be one of least strongest which is apparent in missions that require strength to win. This was particularly apparent in ''Hang 5'' where Red was the worst performing team. Jeszie even use that in her reasoning for her claims that Red wasn't as strong as Purple. Downplayed in Spin Fly where Frankee got 2 pyramid pieces for red while Erika got 1.
* PluckyComicRelief: His comments tended to be a common source of comedy for the season and was even acknowledged as the comic relief of the group by JD.

The last team formed this season, due to the fact that Max and Jenna catching the last 3 balls in the game. They appeared strong though they intentionally lost ''Tilt'' to make them less of a target. They were sent to the first temple as Blue thought it would be a strength test and that Gray would definitely beat Green (Blue's intended target). This decision however caused Gray to be the first team eliminated and began an alleged curse where Gray would usually be the first colored team out.

* ThePowerOfFriendship: As J.D. pointed out, their friendship with the green team was a big reason why they made it to the finale.

Demian, who caught the number 1 ball in the partner selection game, choose Nicole to be his partner. They allied with Gray, Purple and Red while having a bitter rivalry with Yellow (at least, for most of the game since Nicole had a strong dislike of Bryannah). Nicole also seemed to be good friends with Vanetta. The relationship between Demian and Nicole did gradually deteriorate, particularly after Demian felt Nicole was trying to boss him around, to the point that Demian didn't think they deserved to win.
