* TotalPartyKill: No one from Ua made it to the Final Three.

* FatalFlaw: {{Wrath}}. Almost all of Deshawn's problems are a direct result of him getting angry and confrontational whenever things don't go his way, an attitude that pushed his ally Shan away from him and caused him to vote her out in the heat of the moment, pushing himself to the bottom.

* [[BlackDudeDiesFirst Black Dude Gets Voted Out First]]: The first elimination of the season and a black man.

* SoleSurvivor: The first ever Canadian winner.

* SoleSurvivor: The first, and so far only, Canadian winner.

* AwesomeMcCoolName: Her first name is ''Genie''.

* BaldBlackLeaderGuy: No doubt he tried to be this, but he came on too strong and his tribe turned on him.

* HiddenDepths: Is a PH.D. student, and came out as genderqueer/non-binary before season 41 aired. Preferred pronouns are they/she.

* LateComingOut: Her bio mentions that she spent 23 years of her life passing as straight. After filming of Season 41, she would later come out as genderqueer/non-binary.

* {{Expy}}: Interestingly, of Michele Fitzgerald. Both are under the radar winners who beat flashier players for the win, both relied on their social game over their strategic game, noth come from starting tribes that suffered no immunity losses pre-merge. Both were overlooked and underestimated by other players.

* {{Expy}}: You could essentially call him a more luck dependent version of Malcolm Freburg. Amusingly, he also describes himself as a jack of all stats just like Malcolm did.

* TokenMinority: Out of all the Sole Survivors, Erika's the the only Canadian of the bunch.

* DarkHorseVictory: With the flashy games Evvie, Shan and even Deshawn (in spite of not playing as well in the merge part) were playing. who was expecting the small Filipino-Canadian girl to win it all?

* FailedASpotCheck: Like Liana earlier in the season,and Michaela in Gamechangers, he fails to find an advantage on the Sandra Bench despite him looking for it.

* FatalFlaw: Arrogance, Hubris, and Poor Communication resulting from his age. His poor reads on the Jury's opinions. He ''severely'' underestimates how much the jury respects Erika's game, and thus brings her to the end while leaving Deshawn and Heather to fight over the third [=FTC=] slot. Shan and Liana even comment on how poor a read it is as he's saying it, and it leads to him getting zero votes to win while Erika gets all but Danny's votes.

* BreakingOldTrends: The first Canadian winner.
** The first female winner since Sarah Lacina, ending a six season streak of male winners.
* CanadaEh: She's the second Canadian to compete, though unlike Tom from ''Island of the Idols'', she was living in Toronto at the time of filming.

* BadassCrew: The tribe proved utterly unstoppable during the premerge portion of the game and never went to tribal. Even in the pre-merge challenge, the team with more Luvu members won by a landslide.

* MsFanservice: Is one of the more attractive players this season. While her clothes are usually conservative, she gets scenes strategizing in her underwear.

* MsFanservice: She is one of the more attractive players this season, and most of her scenes are her in her underwear. Her challenge performances tend to have blurs in strategic places. The bikini she wears in her cast photo is also notably...tiny.

* MsFanservice: Is very beautiful.

* {{Expy}}: Interestingly, of Michele Fitzgerald. Both are under the radar winners who beat flashier players for the win. Both relied on their social game over their strategic game. Both come from starting tribes that suffered no immunity losses pre-merge. Both were overlooked and underestimated by other players.

* InformedAttribute: Describes herself as a strategist, and is targetting by Shan who calls her the "mastermind" behind Heather. However, outside of her strategy session with Deshawn and the Hourglass Advantage, her strategies have yet to affect the game.

* SmallRoleBigImpact: In the first six episodes, she doesn't receive a lot of screen time compared to the other players. Come episode 7, she reverses the outcome of an immunity challenge forcing the winners of the challenge to lose their immunity. Had she chose differently, the first merge elimination and the momentum of the game may have gone completely differently.
** Also...she won. However, the way her character was edited caused her to be overshadowed by many of the louder characters, despite playing a 7 - 1 winning game.

* TookALevelInBadass: During the premerge, Erika was something of a SmugSnake who believed she was much smarter than the other Luvus, which resulted in her being on the outs. However, after a few lucky breaks and gaining momentum, she managed to become a much more savvy and dangerous strategist after the merge. Then she wins the penultimate immunity followed by the game.

** In a metasense, fellow underestimated and under-editted winners Sophie Clarke and Adam Klein predicted her win long before the finale.

* BirdsOfAFeather: Forms an unlikely pair with Heather as both are underestimated and prefer playing quieter games.
