* BreakoutCharacter: Alongside Fairplay and Rupert, remains one of the most recognizable Survivor players to this day. Additionally unlike those two, her reputation has improved, if anything.
* TheCassandra: Talk about MeaningfulName.

MeaningfulName. She could tell the others bought Jon's grandma ploy so hard that she didn't dare to accuse him outright.
* EstablishingCharacterMoment: "I was like ''ohhhh shit''."" Survivor players aren't often known for swearing in confessional, least of all ''the first confessional of the season.''



* {{Griefer}}: Almost immediately after Rupert's blindside, she dumps all the fish that he'd caught for the tribe as revenge. Then, in the penultimate episode she decided to start hiding the camp equipment, believing that she was the next to go - it was only because of Lili deciding to betray Jon and Burton that she cut short that plan.
* {{Guile Hero}}ine
* HugeGuyTinyGirl: With Rupert.
* ImNotHereToMakeFriends: She doesn't outright say it, but her style of play both averts this and plays it straight at the same time. As she says, she would vote out anyone so long as it wasn't her. She was perfectly okay making friends, but if it advanced her in the game, she wouldn't think twice before stabbing them in the back and would have no regrets about doing so. Nowhere is this clearer than when she dumps all the tribe's fish and lets her friend and ally Christa be blamed.

to:

* NeverMessWithGranny
NeverMessWithGranny: Zigzagged throughout, as Lil has an early elimination followed by an impressive comeback, but then shows herself to be easily manipulated. She finally plays it straight during the Final Immunity Challenge (see below).
* PerpetualFrownerPerpetualFrowner: Some fans, including popular Survivor content creator Mario Lanza, dub it the "Lill Face."



* TeamMom: Evident at the very end of the season - the reason she chose Sandra as who to take to the finals was because she knew she would lose anyway, and she didn't want to be responsible if Jon won the million dollars and indulged himself to death. She may have lost Survivor, but she may have saved Jon's life.

* ConsummateLiar: Infamously claimed that his grandma died during filming to generate sympathy votes. He immediately admitted the lie during a confessional, but some members of the production team including Jeff didn't find out. Only after the filming concluded it was it revealed that she is was alive and well, due to 'answering the Dalton Family's home phone' -- the purpose of the call was apparently ''for the team to offer their condolences.'' As if that wasn't egregious enough, Grandma Fairplay '''even gets briefly interviewed at home, watching ''Series/TheJerrySpringerShow''.

* CryingWolf: Very memorably.memorably -- see the grandma incident. %%If it's so memorable, then how did it happen? The grandma thing? Does that count if there isn't an event where the "wolf" is real and no one believes him? I just added the grandma because it was the closest thing I could think of.
* EarlyInstallmentWeirdness: During the first several episodes, Jon starts out rather low-key compared to the SlimeBall personality his nickname would suggest. He even acts as an [[TheFriendNobodyLikes ally of sorts]] to Rupert, Sandra, and Christa, and votes alongside them.



* EvenBadMenLoveTheirMamas: Infamously invoked this trope, complete with CrocodileTears. Worked on everyone but [[LivingLieDetector Sandra]], and it didn't make him any friends when this secret was outed at the live reunion.

* DisqualificationInducedVictory: When she won her first immunity. Burton had his immunity stripped after Jeff discovered a misspelled word. Played with, since she still had to beat everyone else.

* TheDogBitesBack: By being the main factor for why the Outcast Tribe beat both Drake and Morgan, he was the reason why Shawn was voted out immediately after. He then proceeded to be a key factor in both Rupert and Christa being voted out.
* DemotedToDragon: Initially the leader of Drake with his own dragon being [[TheStarscream Shawn]], he ends up as Fairplay's dragon after returning.

* RedOniBlueOni: Pretty mild-mannered (blue) compared to her allies, Sandra and Rupert (red).

Before the Outcast twist came along, Shawn and Jon were planning to team up during the merge in a manner pretty much identical to how Burton and Jon ended up working together after the merge. However, it probably wouldn't have been as successful as the Burton/Jon duumvirate was since the two hated each other fiercely.

There's a very famous animosity between him and the host of Survivor, but according to [[http://domandcolin.blogspot.com/2013/03/survivor-polite-conversation-with-jonny.html an interview with the Dom and Colin podcast]], it may have been because of how he introduced himself to Jeff.
--> He rubbed lotion on his hand prior to a qualifying interview, shook Probst's hand, and when Probst asked why Jonny's own hand was so sticky, well... you get the idea of what Fairplay told him.
