* After Tina is responsible for Katie's elimination, she talks about how she was adopted and never felt the strength of a blood bond to her family, but when she gave birth to Katie, she was the first person she truly felt that bond with in her life. It's heartwarming and sad enough, until you remember that Tina and Katie lost their son and brother, respectively, in a car crash after filming just two weeks before the finale, [[HarsherInHindsight in fact the week before this episode was on TV.]]

* A bit of an underrated sad moment is Frosti getting voted out 7-1 in Survivor: China. He's such a likable character that even Todd, a strategist who had no problems before and after cutting the throats of allies, says he finds it hard to vote him out. When Frosti gets the votes the expression on his face is pure rejection, and every vote comes up for him with a small drawn frown-face. After he leaves to go, no one seems even remotely happy that they had to vote him out.

* Russell Swan's exit in ''Samoa''. The tribe leader who worked himself to death is still fighting Jeff telling him to go when he's extremely close to ''death'' and ''routinely passing out.''
** YMMV on whether or not this is Narm, but Russell Swan losing the fourth and final Matsing Immunity Challenge in ''Philippines'' qualifies. Going from being the leader of one of the most successful tribes in Survivor history before his evacuation in ''Samoa'' to being the leader of one of only two tribes to lose every single immunity challenge visibly breaks his heart. Even worse when you contemplate his LosingIsWorseThanDeath mentality spawned by his faithfulness to his religion.

*** The whole fourth episode of Philippines qualifies when you take into account that Matsing is not going to have an epic comeback. It's clear that the three of them are just miserable. Malcolm even said it was the lowest moment of his life, and Malcolm isn't the type that gets affected all that often.

* While it was highly entertaining and a signature moment in the entire series, Brandon's meltdown in ''Survivor: Caramoan'' has to make you feel at least a little sympathy for Brandon. He is clearly mentally unstable and suffering from the pressure his family puts on his shoulders.

* In general, Lil is just a truly pitiful case. After being isolated from her tribe and voted out third, she returns via the Outcast Twist, but is drastically in over her head. Constantly emotional to the extreme, Lil would go through the entire merge being lied to, hurt, and demeaned. While she had [[TookALevelInBadass an epic moment taking down Fairplay in the FIC]], she would go into Final Tribal Council only to be completely brutalized by the jury (according to outside sources, including the man himself, [[JerkAss Fairplay delivered an inhumanely hateful speech that couldn't be aired]] solely to make her life hell) and she ended up getting slaughtered in the final vote (6-1). To add insult to injury, when the jury said in the reunion that they would vote for her over Fairplay, they had only done so because producers tipped them off to lie in order to keep Lil from crying during the reunion. Regardless of what you might feel about her, there's no denying that it is very hard to have as miserable of a Survivor experience as Lil did (although [[TheWoobie Woobies]] like Bobby Jon Drinkard and Kathy Vavrick O'Brien give her a run for her money.

* Episode 8 of Thailand is often overlooked or seen by some as Narm, but it is truly affecting to see the last 4 Sook Jais so distraught over having no choice but to vote someone out. Jake, in particular, felt extremely guilty for having lost the Immunity Challenge for the tribe. They spent most of their last day as a tribe together, comforting each other. Even sadder when you realize that there is nowhere for them to hide and they are going into the late merge down in numbers 5-3, and all of them will be Pagonged.
