9	The men's tribe.
10	----
11	* AHouseDivided: From the very first episode they were strictly divided into the "Fit Four" (mostly younger players) and the "Fat Five" (a counter-alliance mostly of older players). The more numerous Fat Five obviously outlasted the Fit Four.
12	* DwindlingParty: Entered the merge with fewer numbers and had already lost many early immunities. Besides Chris, all of them were gone by the final 7.
13	* LawOfChromaticSuperiority: After the swap, they won most of the challenges and produced both the winner and the runner up.
14	* LocationThemeNaming: Named after a volcanic island in Vanuatu.

22	The women's tribe.
23	----
24	* AHouseDivided: But not as neatly as Lopevi's case.
25	* AmazonBrigade: The original line-up and still pretty much this after the swap.
26	* DividedWeFall: When the merge hit, everything was set in place for them to dominate the rest of the game, and they proceeded to pagong the Lopevi tribe until there was one member left. However, underlying tensions ultimately broke them apart. Twila, Scout, and Eliza teamed up with Chris to eliminate Ami's Yasur Alliance, leaving the door open for him to win the remaining immunity challenges of the season and ultimately take the title of Sole Survivor for himself.

33
34	The merged tribe.
35	----
36	* AHouseDivided: Very few people made alliances with people from another tribe.
37	* LawOfChromaticSuperiority: The tribe color is orange, fitting with the prior two tribes yellow and red.

45	->'''Tribe:''' Lopevi -> Alinta
46	----
47	* AntiHero: Particularly for guys.
48	* BadassBoast: This line in the penultimate episode showed us just how much control he had in the game:
49	-->I don't trust Scout, I don't trust Twila, I don't trust Eliza, I don't trust Julie. And they don't trust each other. And the most screwed-up thing about it is I think they all trust ''me''.
50	* BestServedCold: His elimination of Julie. She betrayed the men's alliance and caused the elimination of Rory, Sarge and Chad. In revenge Chris lied to her the whole game, making promises and reassuring her just hours before her elimination even when it would have no benefit for his own game, just to engineer the most potent blindside possible.
51	* TheChessmaster: Was the brains of the older alliance at Lopevi, and later managed to maneuver himself to win the game despite being outnumbered 6-1.
52	* ChronicBackstabbingDisorder: Particularly to Julie and Eliza.
53	* DarkHorseVictory: The only guy on a tribe full of [[StrawFeminist straw misandrists]] manages to turn the game around, manipulate all the women not only into allowing him into the Final Four, but giving him the money when the jury was five women to two men.
54	* DefeatingTheUndefeatable: Defeated a six-way female alliance.
55	* {{Determinator}}: And EliminationHoudini.
56	* EarnYourHappyEnding: Called "one of the most unlikely winners ever" by Jeff Probst. It's hardly an understatement:
57	** He lost the Lopevis the first immunity challenge and narrowly escaped being the first boot. He only survived because the Fit Four alliance made it too obvious the rest of the tribe was next. He's still the only winner with votes against him at the season's first tribal council.
58	** Lopevi went on to lose more challenges and Chris had the Fat Five alliance weakened by the swap. Lopevi won more challenges and Chris became allies with Julie and Twila, but...
59	** ...they were loyal to Ami first, and wasted no time taking out his allies. Lopevi as a whole entered the merge with fewer numbers, by the time only Chris remained, he had to turn on them to stay in the game. He had to be especially careful to orchestrate in-group conflicts toward the end of his run, and managed to narrowly talk his way out of elimination several times.
60	** Lastly, Vanuatu's final jury was full of people he either betrayed or was never aligned with to start. And keep in mind that jury had ''less'' of his allies than the merge.
61	* FatBastard: But, as noted elsewhere, he's really more of an anti-hero than a villain.
62	* {{Foreshadowing}}: This confessional at the middle of the season foreshadows just how he ends up winning the game:
63	-->You ''question'' a woman's character... you ''question'' a woman's ability, she'll ''snap'' your ''neck''! ...You open your ''heart'', show a woman you're ''vul''nerable, then they start ''thinkin''' with their heart.. That's when they ''open'' up that back ''door''.
64	** Zig-zagged in the premiere episode, where he says that men are much more likely to splinter and easier to manipulate than women are. While it turns out to be correct when the tribes merge and the women band together to eliminate the men, ultimately personality conflicts cause the women's alliance to implode.
65	* [[GuileHero Guile]] AntiHero: Decently strong in challenges but his best weapon was definitely his cunning.
66	* JerkWithAHeartOfGold: He is a decent person but has a habit of lying as established at the reunion.
67	* LargeHam: In his confessionals
68	* LawOfChromaticSuperiority: Wore a red sleeveless shirt and a red cap. He stayed on Lopevi for its entire existence and won against various Yasur members.
69	* TheManBehindTheMan: On Lopevi, Sarge was the unofficial leader of the tribe and in challenges, but it was Chris who was actually calling the shots.
70	* ManipulativeBastard: Helped push the women’s alliance into cannibalizing itself by exploiting his friendships with Twila and Julie.
71	* TookALevelInBadass: Was the only member of the men's tribe unable to cross the balance beam at the very first immunity challenge, making him the obvious person to eliminate. Ends up winning the game, sprinkling a few immunity victories along the way. Probst lampshades this later on.
72	* TheOneGuy / LastOfHisKind: The last man left in the game.
73	* PlayingBothSides: At the final 5
74	* ProfessionalButtKisser: Takes it up to eleven during the jury questioning. Scout called him a "bullshit artist" for a reason.
75	* RoaringRampageOfRevenge: Does he ever.
76	--> '''Chris:''' I'm gonna burn every one of them. Just let 'em open the door. This [vote] is for you, Sarge, not against you.
77	* SleevesAreForWimps: This was [[EnforcedTrope enforced]]. He was force by the production crew to wear his red sleeveless shirt.
78	* TheSmartGuy: His main asset and what carries him to victory. Right from the first immunity challenge it’s shown he’s not very physically capable, losing the challenge for his entire team. He invokes this trope afterwards, saying he’s not overly worried since smarts are more important than brawn.
79	* SoleSurvivor: Not just of the game, but of the Lopevi tribe at final 6.
80	* TheStrategist: Claimed to be one in the very first episode, but we didn't get to really see him in action until his back was to the wall.
81	* UnderdogsNeverLose: Loses the first immunity challenge for Lopevi, a seemingly inauspicious start, but bounces back quickly and is in a power position all pre-merge. Later, he’s down 5-1 at the final six, but wins the game.

84	[[folder:2nd. Twila Tanner]]
85	[[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/s9_twila_tanner.jpg]]

87	->'''Tribe:''' Yasur -> Lopevi -> Alinta
88	----
89	* AlliterativeName
90	* BreakTheHaughty: A very abrasive person throughout the entirety of the season, she entered the final tribal council mostly unrepentant for her words and actions, even telling Eliza that she sucked (a guaranteed way to not get a vote). At the end, she's reduced to tears having realized she hurt so many people.
91	* BrutalHonesty: In general, but especially at Final Tribal Council. It still earned her votes, as she didn't have BS up to her ears.
92	* CoolOldLady: A hardworking tomboy who holds her own with people half her age.
93	* DistaffCounterpart: To Chris. They're both boisterous blue collar workers from the Midwest who struggle to relate to their younger tribemates. They even work in the same field.
94	* EvenEvilHasLovedOnes: Her son James.
95	* FieryRedHead: Her temper is even more red than her head.
96	* {{Foil}}: To Chris, appropriate for the two finalists. Chris is incredibly great at deception and manipulation, fighting from the bottom to reach the top. Twila has always been in the majority alliance, but she lacks any sort of tact
97	* [[GrumpyOldMan Grumpy Old Woman]]
98	* ImNotHereToMakeFriends: She says this word for word in the premiere episode.
99	* {{Ladette}}: Outright says at her second tribal council that she has a much easier time getting along with men as opposed to women, and it shows in the game immediately at the first reward challenge.
100	* RedOniBlueOni: With Scout. She is the Red Oni.
101	* SitcomArchNemesis: Though Eliza was disliked by most of the cast, She and Twila had an especially heated relationship. In the beginning of the season, she'd developed one with Mia, but her early boot put a close to it quickly.
102	* TragicMistake: Swearing on her son's life. Since Leann's boot, this has come back to haunt her so many times afterwards with most of the jury questioning her character because of it. She regrets having ever said it, but she can't undo it.

107	[[folder:3rd. Scout Cloud Lee]]
108	[[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/s9_scout_cloud_lee.jpg]]
109	->'''Age/ home/ job:''' 59/ Stillwater, Oklahoma/ rancher
110	->'''Tribe:''' Yasur -> Alinta
111	----
112	* ButNotTooGay: She kissed her partner during the challenge, but it was cut out.
113	* CoolOldLady: Scout was the oldest castaway of the season and managed to avoid being voted out despite being a liability in challenges. Her social maneuvering granted her the fallen angel title.
114	* CoolShades: They help show off her CoolOldLady vibes.
115	* [[GrumpyOldMan Grumpy Old Woman]]: When dealing with Eliza, though generally well-liked by the rest of the cast.
116	* IceCreamKoan: Delivers a couple of these during her tribal council votes, most notably when she votes for Julie and tells her to "return to her roots" (which hints at her [[BraidsBeadsAndBuckskins Native heritage]]).
117	* TheLoad: In ALL challenges, including the second immunity challenge where she didn't have to do any physical activity. Hell, one challenge had team members swap out if ever they spilled their entire cup of liquid whilst doing an obstacle course. She immediately spills hers so that a stronger member could take her spot.
118	* PassiveAggressiveKombat: Oh, very much. While Twila would chew you out at the drop of a hat, Scout would just make some backhanded comment towards you.
119	* TeamMom: To Yasur. Despite an abysmal challenge game, they unanimously granted her the title of chief during the swap episode.
120	* RedOniBlueOni: With Twila. She is the Blue Oni.

123	[[folder:4th. Eliza Orlins]]

125	->'''Age/ home/ job:''' 21/ Syracuse, New York/ pre-law student
126	->'''Tribe:''' Yasur -> Alinta
127	----
128	* AllOfTheOtherReindeer: As elegantly put by herself, for all of Vanuatu she was really working with an alliance of herself, and... well, just herself.
129	* AnnoyingYoungerSibling: How all her other tribemates perceived her, but at least Ami emphasizes the "little sibling" part over the "annoying" part. And, like most of them, she never got favor with the Lopevis.
130	* BadassAdorable: On the chopping block since the very first day. Lasted all the way to fourth.
131	* ButtMonkey: Everyone found her annoying and was always in danger of being sent home. She just wants to have friends and feel safe!
132	* {{Irony}}: Calls Twila a cockroach under the refrigerator, but she's one of the most famous cockroach players in the show's history.
133	* KidHero: She's the youngest contestant on the season.
134	* MotorMouth: The reason why Scout and Twila got annoyed with her so quickly. Pretty much why ''everyone'' was annoyed with her so quickly.
135	* NothingButSkinAndBones: The day she won the car challenge, the other players wanted her to win or at least be taken along because she had become so skinny. She even shows off her shoulder blades nearly poking through her skin.
136	* PluckyGirl: The URExample and TropeCodifier for Survivor; Eliza knew that every Tribal Council, she was '''''extremely''''' close to being voted out every time, and in spite of that kept on trucking along (which contributed to her status as an EnsembleDarkhorse). She eventually returned for Characters/SurvivorMicronesia.
137	* TagAlongKid: Twila accused her of riding coattails. The reason she lasted as long as she did was because nobody wanted to ally with her, which meant she was a free vote for whoever sweet talked her enough
138	* TheThingThatWouldNotLeave: Pretty much how most people treated her.

144	->'''Tribe:''' Yasur -> Lopevi -> Alinta
145	----
146	* BewareTheNiceOnes: As the Lopevi men soon found out.
147	* BraidsBeadsAndBuckskins: Yes, she is Indigenous.
148	* BreakTheCutie: Chris's betrayal of her.
149	* BrokenTears: At final tribal council.
150	* FemmeFatale: Her Survivor casting archetype
151	* MsFanservice: Sarge describes her as an exhibitionist, following a scene of her tanning her butt.
152	* PluckyGirl: Used her wits to keep herself in the game when she was in a bad position.
153	* OneDegreeOfSeparation: Julie's high school teacher was [[Characters/SurvivorGabon Bob Crowley]].
154	* RomanceOnTheSet: She flirted with Probst, putting his name in a pink heart over her chest. When the season was over, he called her up and they hooked up.
155	* TheTease: You could call her a prototype [[Characters/SurvivorCookIslands Parvati]] with the way she uses her looks to stay in the game. She hits on the men of the Lopevi tribe (all of them) and Jeff Probst himself!
156	[[/folder]]

158	[[folder:6th. Ami Cusack]]
159	[[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/s9_ami_cusack.jpg]]
160	->'''Age/ home/ job:''' 31/ Lakewood, Colorado/ barista
161	->'''Tribe:''' Yasur -> Alinta
162	----
163	* ActionGirl: One of the better physical competitors and also being great at puzzles, earning her only immunity necklace because of one.
164	* AntiVillain: For the most part it's really just the way the game plays out that makes her the villain; aside from a moment here or there she's really not much worse than Chris.
165	* ArcVillain: To the AmazonBrigade. Ami's role as the season's chief StrawFeminist comes into focus around the time of the tribe swap (where she underlines the "men vs. women" mentality) and lasts through her elimination at the Final 6. Once she's gone, the narrative shifts more to Chris having to decide whether to side more with the pairing of Eliza and Julie or Scout and Twila as his final endgame competitors.
166	* TheBaroness: She’s in charge and is rather haughty about it.
167	* ButNotTooGay: She kissed her girlfriend during the loved ones challenge, but the edit was not-so-expertly cut to hide it.
168	* IceQueen: Towards the men anyway.
169	* MaleGaze: There’s a few shots that show off her large chest.
170	* [[ManipulativeBastard Manipulative Bitch]]: Just listen to how she talks to Eliza to convince her to keep her alive, like mother telling her child to forget the times she hurt her.
171	* MsFanservice: See MaleGaze above.
172	* PetTheDog: Despite everyone's antipathy towards Eliza, Ami fills a big sister role and is Eliza's favorite person on the island.
173	* PluckyGirl: Leann's boot pretty much put her on the chopping block, but she kept on trucking.
174	* TheQueenpin: Especially at post-swap Yasur
175	* SmugSnake: She believed she had full control over how the game would play out, even after Leann was voted out and she was on the rocks, she still believed she swayed enough people to keep her in the game.
176	* SoreLoser: Criss-crossed. She’s very bitter and whiny on her way out the door, even saying she wants to drown Twila. However, she later gets over somewhat and votes for Twila at Final Tribal Council.
177	* StrawFeminist: To the freaking core! To the point where she did to even want to teach the guys who ended up on her tribe mildly useful survival skills.
178	* WhamLine: After Lisa is so excited to show the guys the tricks they learned, signifying her rise to power.
179	---> "Why should we?"
180	* WorthyOpponent: Chris wanted her gone as soon as possible because she was the biggest physical threat at that point in time. He didn't particularly like either Scout or Twila, but he knew he could beat them.
181	[[/folder]]
182
183	[[folder:7th. Leann Slaby]]
184	[[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/s9_leann_slaby.jpg]]
185	->'''Age/ home/ job:''' 34/ Kansasville, Wisconsin/ financial assistant
186	->'''Tribe:''' Yasur -> Alinta
187	----
188	* AchillesHeel: She's dreadful in swimming challenges, costing her team at least one challenge because she gave up.
189	* BrainyBrunette: As an equity research assistant and the alleged brains of the women's alliance, she is this.
190	* TheDragon: To Ami.
191	** DragonInChief: If post-game interviews are to be believed.
192	* ExactWords: She voted for Chris because she told Twila that she'd never write her name down.
193	* FacePlant: A challenge has tribe members carry coconut water in a shell through a course to fill up a jar. Leann's tribe is way ahead and she just needs to carry the jar back. She casually walks back but her tribe yells at her to run even though it is completely not needed. She starts to run and on her first step she trips and falls on her face. Luckily she didn't spill any water and cost her tribe the challenge.
194	* LaserGuidedKarma: Decided to target Eliza instead of Chris simply because Eliza was annoying her - Chris took advantage of her decision to rally Eliza to his side and get Leann voted out. And the balance of power shifted.
195	* LegFocus: Jeff remarks about her long her legs are... and how it makes it difficult for her to travel through a bamboo cage.
196	* MsFanservice: While OutOfFocus, her tall, slender frame and good looks were definitely noticed.
197	* OutOfFocus: Gets relatively little attention. Her main role in the story is helping ensure Julie flips back to the women’s alliance.
198	* PseudoRomanticFriendship: With Julie. They spend some time post-merge kissing each other's cheeks, holding each other's hands and dancing. This is why Scout becomes worried about her place in the alliance.
199	* SacrificialLion: Her elimination marks the dissolution of the women's alliance and the downfall of Ami.
200	* StatuesqueStunner: She's a very tall lady. Very noticeable in her boot episode, where you can see that she towers over Probst.
201	* TheManBehindTheMan: According to post-game interview with Chris, Leann was the one who called shots in [[AmazonBrigade all-female alliance]], not Ami.

206	->'''Age/ home/ job:''' 34/ Oakland, California/ teacher
207	->'''Tribe:''' Lopevi -> Alinta
208	----
209	* ArtificialLimbs: His leg, as a result of a tumor. Chad is also the first amputee on the show.
210	* BadassTeacher: His job outside of the game, and is also a good competitor.
211	* HandicappedBadass: So much so that he was voted out for being a physical threat.
212	* InformedFlaw: He is associated with the Fat Five, but he's in great shape and is just as young as the fit four. He might have been lumped in with them because his artificial leg could be a disadvantage, but that condition is largely irrelevant to his successes and failures.
213	* InspirationallyDisadvantaged: He got a rare form a cancer that caused his amputation. John Kenney was even worried about taking him to the final two because invoking this trope would probably net him a lot of points.
214	* JawDrop: Did this so often that it got [[http://www.funny115.com/v1/105.htm its own entry on the The Funny 115]]
215	* NeverHeardThatOneBefore: Inverted. Chris accidentally makes a leg pun and is promptly mortified upon realizing it. Chad reassures him, saying he's heard every leg pun.
216	* OnlyKnownByTheirNickname: Chad.
217	* TheStoic: Mostly stays out of the drama of the season and is largely unflappable.

222	->'''Age/ home/ job:''' 40/ Columbia, South Carolina/ drill sergeant
223	->'''Tribe:''' Lopevi -> Alinta
224	----
225	* TheAce: Has a wide set of survival skills and isn’t a bad strategist either.
226	* DeathGlare: When Scout starts singing to him mockingly the day after Rory was voted off. Probably qualifies as a SugarWiki/{{Funny Moment\|s}}.
227	* DrillSergeantNasty: Subverted; he was only this in a challenge where he had to call upon it to lead the tribe. Otherwise he was a pretty good guy.
228	* EveryoneCallsHimBarkeep: Virtually nobody refers to him as Lea. He’s “Sarge”.
229	* GenderBlenderName: How it's spelled, anyway. Probably why he goes by "Sarge".
230	* TheLeader: When asked to choose the tribe's chief, the men unanimously selected him.
231	* NakedPeopleAreFunny: Encouraged by Julie, he tanned his butt on the beach. This caused Chris to freak out.
232	* OldSoldier: A former sergeant who became a member of the older men alliance.
233	* OnlyKnownByTheirNickname: Sarge in the second episode onward. Pretty much the only time anyone referred to him as "Lea" would be Eliza's vote on his boot episode.
234	* TeamDad: To Lopevi.

243	----
244	* TheComplainerIsAlwaysWrong: Early on, as his temper gets on the nerves of just about everyone. Later, when he’s up against Ami’s callous treatment, the show depicts his complaining as being more legitimate.
245	* CrouchingMoronHiddenBadass: The moment you put a slingshot in his hands, watch out.
246	* HairTriggerTemper: One of his defining characteristics is that he goes off at the slightest hitch. His wife even points this out her letter to him.
247	* JerkWithAHeartOfGold: His bad temper and stand-offish nature put a lot of people off, but his friendship with Bubba and his reactions during the letter reward show a much softer side.
248	* NoMoreHoldingBackSpeech: The morning after Bubba's elimination, Rory digs deep and gives them an incredibly cheesy speech, apologizing for his anger and promising to do better.
249	* NotQuiteSavedEnough: While he'd managed to outlast Lisa after the tribe switch, it was made clear to Rory that he was on the bottom of the pecking order at Yasur and most in danger of going home next. When the tribes merged, he was greatly relieved to be back with his old comrades in Lopevi and was assured that Julie and Twila would join in with them to oust Ami. As it turned out, Julie and Twila were still loyal to their original tribe and ended up blindsiding him that very episode.
250	* TheOneGuy: Quickly becomes this on Yasur once Bubba is voted off.
251	* TokenMinority: The only African-American. When they head to the island for the first time, he's the only person the natives don't shake spears at.

259	* DumbMuscle: Subverted. See SmarterThanYouLook.
260	* LastOfHisKind: The very last member of the Fit Four alliance.
261	* LazyBum: His boot episode paints him as this, but is attributed to him knowing that he's the next on the chopping block.
262	* MrFanservice: John was a model at the time of filming, and he continued his modeling career afterwards.
263	* TheOneGuy: Temporarily when he was sent to Yasur to study them.
264	* SmarterThanYouLook: The episode where he wins individual immunity pre-merge, he's taken back to the Yasur camp to get some insights on camp relations. The first thing he does is split them up based on who voted for whom the tribal before, thus allowing him to see the group's dynamics. His other tribemates applaud him for it.
265	* TagAlongKid: Essentially this as he is the youngest male of the season.
266	* TooDumbToLive: Chris said that the reason he was kept the longest out of all the younger guys was because he was the least skilled at the game.

273	----
274	* DisproportionateRetribution: On the receiving end of this. She accidentally implies that she might be gunning for Ami and gets booted off as a result.
275	* FreudianSlip: When gathering food with Ami, Lisa asked how to gather food in case Ami was no longer there. Ami picked up on this and arranged for her oust.
276	* OutOfFocus: Gets rather limited screen time proportional to how many episodes she's been in.
277	* ShockingElimination: At least InUniverse. Given Ami being a StrawFeminist and Rory being male, one naturally assumed that he was the one going, not her. Twila outright said they were expecting Rory to go.

284	----
285	* GoodOlBoy: A friendly, hard-working family-man with a strong southern accent.
286	* HappilyMarried: He mentions how much he misses his wife and kids several times.
287	* NiceGuy: Very friendly with all of Lopevi and tries to make friends at Yasur too, though Ami shuts that down.
288	* OnlyKnownByTheirNickname: Bubba
289	* SacrificialLamb: His elimination is the beginning of Ami's rise to power.
290	* TooDumbToLive: [[http://funny115.com/v1/54.htm Tried to tell Chris to "remember the merge"]] [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hl0Ge2uymFU (i.e., throw the immunity challenge) after they were split up onto other tribes.]]
291	* WithCatlikeTread: Here's the situation: Bubba is on a tribe where the enemy outnumbers him 5 to 2. His only recourse is to survive the next few rounds and reach the merge, but the only way he can do that is by winning immunities and he needs his friends to understand that. He needs to find a way to communicate his plan without getting caught because then he's dead for sure. How is this accomplished? He straight up whisper yells it.

331	----
332	* ConditionedToAcceptHorror: A pig is slaughtered during the premiere and she doesn't flinch. She says it's because she raises sheep for a living, so she's used to it.
333	* EveryoneLovesBlondes: Most everyone adores her; her vote-out was almost entirely strategy.
334	* [[FarmBoy Farm Girl]]: And dressed like the FarmersDaughter, too.
335	* TheIngenue: Seems to have been cast for this role, of which Colleen from ''Borneo'' is the prototype.
336	* MsFanservice: Brief though her time was, her cuteness was certainly noticed.
337	* TheQuisling: Subverted. Eliza was paranoid that Dolly would turn into this, and orchestrated Dolly's exit, but Dolly never planned on betraying the younger girls' alliance.

344	----
345	* AscendedFanboy: To the point of asking to for another chance at the reunion.
346	* TheComplainerIsAlwaysWrong: Lobbied the hardest for Chris to be voted out; it caused the majority alliance to turn on him instead.
347	* DeathByGenreSavviness: Was the first guy voted out for being the only younger man on Lopevi (there was an age war going on at the time) to have watched the show previously. He even called himself a super fan of Survivor in his bio.
348	* GenderBlenderName: "Brook," (though much more commonly spelled "Brooke,") is a common girls' name.
349	* ICouldaBeenAContender: As he says at the reunion, he had bigger plans if he had made it past the first few days.
