* NamesTheSame: With the Series/{{Battlestar Galactica|Classic}} actor.



* IGaveMyWord: If he makes an agreement he will keep it. Early in the game he and Richard made an agreement to make it to the end and Rudy never waivered from it. In the final tribal council he asks no questions and in the confessional he says that he had made an agreement and is fulfilling his obligation by voting for Richard. He holds everyone else to this same standard of honor and warns several people that there will be violent consequences if they betray him.

* 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 as "that cute girl from Survivor".



* 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 Creator/{{CBS}} ''Early Show'').
** Subverted in recent years however, as he's attended quite a few Reality TV conventions as a special guest.



* RomanceOnTheSet: With Colleen (Though they claimed it was only friendship). He may have been deliberately invoking this trope as another parody moment.

* 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 (and because Greg had won immunity).

* ThoseTwoGuys: With Sean.



* ExecutiveMeddling: She sued the producers of the show for encouraging Dirk and Sean to vote her out instead of Rudy. The case was eventually settled outside of court, and to this day the accusation raises eyebrows about how ''real'' the show really is.

* 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 in Episode 4 is when we ''really'' got to see an extensive look into his personality (or as much as the producers would allow us to see).

* BunnyEarsLawyer: While it's viewed as ridiculous and stupid now, his Alphabet Strategy actually had some merit to it - everyone from the other tribe had names that started with letters at the start of the alphabet (''C''olleen, ''G''ervase, ''G''reg, ''G''retchen, ''J''enna) as opposed to his own tribe (''K''elly, ''R''ichard, ''R''udy, ''S''ue), so it was a way to get rid of the other tribe members without forming an alliance, which was seen at the time as underhanded.

* MyGodWhatHaveIDone: He chose the alphabet strategy to avoid hurting people's feelings, seeing himself as a throwaway vote and not wanting to be a swing vote. He never considered that by being so open and predictable with his strategy he was designating a target at every tribal council. When Jenna got voted out he finally realized that his one innocent vote ([[Irony cast because he believed Jenna was not at risk or else he would have deviated from his pattern]]) was responsible and was visibly horrified.

* BadassBeard
* BadassBoast: Before he was even officially ''cast'', here's what he had to say to Creator/MarkBurnett, 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'' year's show.
** 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.
** Again, in Episode 9, referring to the last Tribal Council where Sean referred to Richard's fishing as the reason he hasn't been voted out yet:
--> ...Catching fish makes people happy, but that's not the reason they're voting me here. They're not voting me off because ''I'm not letting them.''

* BatmanGambit: Throwing the final challenge. He correctly assumed that Kelly would win and vote out Rudy, ensuring that ''he'' didn't have to vote out Rudy. Although they were extremely loyal allies throughout the whole game, Richard believed that he couldn't win against Rudy, so if he had won, he would have voted him vote over Kelly. This raises the 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 knew that Kelly felt the same way about Rudy (that she couldn't win against him, but could possibly win against Richard). He also waited long enough to get the temptation (food, in this case oranges) from the host.
