* IAmNotSpock: Aside from a very brief foray into Hollywood(starring alongside Rob Schneider in the 2001 movie ''TheAnimal''), Colleen hasn't been in the public eye ''at all'' since 2001, probably out of a desire not to be known "that cute girl from Survivor".

* BadassBoast: Before he was even officially ''cast'', here's what he had to say to Mark Burnett, Jeff Probst, and Les Moonves:
--> You know you're going to pick me, but what you don't know is that I'm going to ''win''. And after I win, I'm going to host ''next'' years show.
** And of course, on the very first day of Borneo, he said this:
-->I'm good to go survival-wise. People-wise, it'll be a little more challengin', but I've got the million-dollar check written already. I mean, I'm the winner. It's that kind of cocky attitude that makes people really hate your guts. So, that's the kind of thing I have to keep under wraps.



* SelfDeprecation:
--> (Referring to Rudy) They think ''he's'' arrogant? I'm out of here!



* {{Determinator}}

to:

* {{Determinator}}{{Determinator}}: He even applied for the ''next'' season following this one, saying that he's willing to play until he finally wins. Hell, he was even willing to compete on [[ReunionShow Heroes vs Villains]] ten years later, while he was in his early eighties. This guy's a ''beast''.


Added DiffLines:

* TheNicknamer: In the companion book, she refers to her male tribe-mates as (Sean) "[[BunnyEarsLawyer a neurotic doctor]]", (Dirk) "[[TheFundamentalist a confused virgin]]", (Richard) "a [[StraightGay masculine gay guy]]", (Rudy) "and an [[GrumpyOldMan old grump]]."

Added DiffLines:

* IAmNotSpock: Greg has avoided all publicity he ever gained from the show, even refusing to do any exit interviews(when he was voted off, Ramona stood in for him on the {{CBS}} ''Early Show'').


Added DiffLines:

* AManIsNotAVirgin: Subverted, at least in the modern way we think of the word "virgin". A big to-do is made by his tribe of the fact that he's twenty-three and has never had sex.
* CelebrityResemblance: Could pass for VanillaIce.

* BlackBestFriend: To Jenna. Ramona's boot episode was centered heavily on the dilemma Jenna has on voting her out in spite of being her best friend on Pagong.

Added DiffLines:

* [[TheyJustDidntCare He Just Didn't Care]]: The Episode 12 Immunity Challenge involved listening to a story concerning various local legends told by Jeff, and then running into the forest to answer trivia about it. Rudy, knowing that he wasn't going anyway, blew off the story and answered every question with the now [[MemeticMutation memetic]] "I DUNNO".

Added DiffLines:

* LargeHam: His obnoxious, over the top rendition of ''99 Bottles Of Beer On The Wall'' during the final six Immunity Challenge would qualify him for this. Not to mention his weird little HappyDance that he does when he wins immunity during the Episode 10 challenge.

Felt many alignments would work well in a season with morality as a central theme. Especially since many are applicable.

* GermansLoveDavidHasselhoff: In a complete 180 to the opinions of America, B.B. was perhaps one of the most popular characters on Survivor in Australia when it aired at the time, and the general consensus was that the Pagong tribe, apart from B.B., were lazy.

Added DiffLines:

* BrotherSisterIncest: Rudy jokes about Greg being attracted to his sister based on the ''odd'' way the two communicate via the video messages they send one another( Dr. Sean takes a more lighthearted approach to the videos and says something to the effect of that being a CloudCuckooLander must run in Greg's family).

* EstablishingCharacterMoment: When he hosted an impromptu island version of TheDatingGame with the rest of his Pagong tribe, but the introduction of Greg's coconut phone is when we really got to see an extensive look into his personality(or as much as the producers would allow us to see).

* DiggingYourselfDeeper: Unlike Rudy, B.B refused to alter his aggressive Type A personality in order to work with his tribe. Gervase even references this very trope just before Pagong heads to Tribal Council by saying that B.B dug his own grave.
* FishOutOfWater: B.B was the oldest member of the youth dominated Pagong tribe, and his age combined with his abrasive personality didn't let him fit in. Or as best summed up by Greg:
-->'''Greg''': "B.B's a good guy. He's pretty strong willed and he's got his plan as well. He's caring. He commands respect. Definitely feels the difference between his age and other people, and doesn't want to seem to bridge that gap as much as just be who he is.


Added DiffLines:

* SuicideByCop: He asked to be voted off, and even admits it several times during his boot episode. Interestingly, Mark Burnett makes an (possibly apocryphal) anecdote in the Borneo companion book about the psychologist who used to work for the show, Gene Ondrusek, and how he actually convinced B.B to quit the show when going through the pre-show tests.

* FishOutOfWater/ OnlySaneMan: Rudy's age and extensive military background makes him very uncomfortable around his much younger civilian tribe-mates, but unlike B.B on Pagong, he understands that he's outnumbered and has to work with them rather than trying to impose his way of living.

* ShockingElimination: 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.

* 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.
