'''Ramona Grey'''

* IGotBetter: She was sick for most of the game, but she got better just in time for her HeelFaceDoorSlam. In fact, the episode she was voted off in is entitled "Too Little, Too Late".

'''Stacey Stillman'''

* AlliterativeName
* BrainyBrunette: Technically, ''she'' was the first person to start an alliance on Survivor. It was just a failed one, and it only failed allegedly due to ExecutiveMeddling.
* ExecutiveMeddling: Sued the producers of the show for allegedly encouraging Dirk and Sean to vote her out instead of Rudy. It was eventually settled outside of court, and to this day raises eyebrows about how ''real'' the show really is.
* PluckyGirl
* WhenSheSmiles




* YouHaveOutlivedYourUsefulness: Parodied in the Mad Magazine article about the show, BB was thought of as too bossy to be kept around after he was done building the shelter.

'''Sonja Christopher'''

* CoolOldLady
* EnsembleDarkhorse: Due to being the ''literal first person voted off Survivor'', Sonja remains more remembered among the fanbase than perhaps she ought to be(certainly more than first boot contestants in recent seasons).
* EstablishingCharacterMoment: When she played her parody rendition of "Bye Bye Blues" on her ukulele to Richard.
* HideYourLesbians
* SacrificalLamb

* TheCobblersChildrenHaveNoShoes

to:

* TheCobblersChildrenHaveNoShoesTheCobblersChildrenHaveNoShoes: She was a whitewater rafting guide so you'd think she'd have an easy time beating Gervase, who had no experience with boats whatsoever, in a challenge that involved operating a canoe. Instead, he beats her easily. Sue makes sure to turn this into a TakeThat at Final Jury.

* BatmanGambit: Throwing the final challenge. He correctly assumed that Kelly would win, didn't have to get his hands dirty by voting out his ally Rudy(whom Richard guessed would beat him in the finals, and thus he would have voted out if the former had won), and waited long enough to get the temptation(food, in this case oranges) from the host.

He correctly assumed that Kelly would win, win and vote out Rudy, ensuring that ''he'' didn't have to get his hands dirty by voting vote out his ally Rudy(whom Rudy. Although they were extremely loyal allies throughout the whole game, Richard guessed would beat him in the finals, and thus believed that he couldn't win against Rudy, so if he had won, he would have voted out if him vote over Kelly. This raises the former had won), 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 waited long enough to get the temptation(food, in this case oranges) from the host.

**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.




to:

* TheDragon or TheStarscream: 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.

* TooCoolToLive
* TooDumbToLive

to:

* TallDarkAndSnarky
TheSlacker: Briefly with Dirk. He gets better, shortly before Dirk is voted off.
* TooCoolToLive
TooCoolToLive: Of the final five, he came off as the most genuinely nice, pleasant guy there.
* TooDumbToLive
TooDumbToLive: Arguably the single worst player strategically in the entire season. 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.



* TheCharmer

to:

* TheCharmerTheCharmer: This was his strategy to winning the game. He made no effort to disguise the fact that he didn't particularly pitch in and help around the camp and instead banked on people finding him entertaining enough to keep around.



* FemmeFatale

* HonorBeforeReason

to:

* HonorBeforeReasonHonorBeforeReason: Refused to consider an alliance between the members of her tribe against Tagi once they got past the merge. This cost her (and everyone else in her tribe subsequently).



* ShockingElimination

to:

* ShockingEliminationShockingElimination: Her elimination post-merge marked both the start of the Tagi alliance taking out the much more strategically inept Pagong and also the start of players being voted out due to their strengths rather than their weaknesses; Gretchen was voted out first because Richard and company saw her as being the leader and most competent member of Pagong.
