| 68 | ->'''From:''' Provo, Utah |
| 69 | ->'''Loved One:''' Rachel Foulger (Girlfriend) |
| 70 | |
| 71 | Professional cyclist, alumnus of ''[[Characters/SurvivorTocantins Tocantins]]'' and ''[[Characters/SurvivorHeroesVsVillains vs. Villains]]'' (placing 8th and 15th, respectively), and a player for Galang, opposite his girlfriend Rachel. |
| 72 | ---- |
| 73 | * TheAce: He makes fire within ''15 minutes'' of arriving at camp. It also helps that he is insane at challenges and has only gone to tribal council once during the pre-merge stage of the game. He's also been in complete control since the merge without winning immunity until late in the game. And he has managed to find two immunity idols without anyone else having the slightest idea. |
| 74 | * AntiHero[=/=]AntiVillain: Everything he has done in this game, good and bad, has been for Rachel. He also willingly takes the role of the bad guy this season. |
| 75 | * BestForLast: He's skilled, but he chooses not to push himself to win immunity until the last few episodes. |
| 76 | * BigEater: Especially if it's coconuts. |
| 77 | * TheBigGuy: To Galang pre-shuffle. |
| 78 | * BornLucky: Tyson was on the winning tribe pre-merge and Right after using his hidden immunity idol to save his alliance mate Gervase, he finds the second hidden idol. |
| 79 | * TheChessmaster: Tyson of all people is proving to be running the show as he orchestrated Aras' demise and is the only one to have hidden immunity idols and doesn't plan on telling anyone about them. In fact, he was in complete control since the merge. |
| 80 | * CampStraight: Can be seen in one scene with his arms around Aras at the campfire, cuddling with him. |
| 81 | * CurbStompBattle: Tyson beat Monica and Gervase in a 7-1-0 vote. Also true for the game in general, post merge. Anyone who tried to stop him was voted out as he dominated the strategy portion of this season. |
| 82 | * DarkhorseVictory: Who thought this guy was going to make it past the merge, let alone win? When he injured his arm, people thought he'd get medically evacuated. |
| 83 | * DeadpanSnarker: He exemplifies this trope during his confessionals. When talking about Aras' yoga he says that he's not really on board with Aras' beliefs in Zen. |
| 84 | --> "I don't believe in anything [[{{beat}} *beat*]] except magic. Magic rocks. |
| 85 | * EarnYourHappyEnding: After two failed attempts at the game and losing his girlfriend earlier in this season, he finally won. |
| 86 | * FlawlessVictory: While not a NoDamageRun, he still played a very swift game. |
| 87 | * FromNobodyToNightmare: In his previous two seasons he ended up getting blindsided. In this season? After the merge, he controls the entire game the same way Rob and Kim did. |
| 88 | * HairOfGoldHeartOfGold: Downplayed. While he definitely did TookALevelInKindness, he still doesn't have qualms in hiding his snarkiness. |
| 89 | * HandicappedBadass: Well, he did compete with a dislocated shoulder. |
| 90 | * GeniusBruiser: Tyson has played a ''very'' clever game this season similar to Boston Rob and Kim Spradlin. |
| 91 | * {{Griefer}}: He's taken the role of stealing food and supplies from his tribe with Gervase's help. |
| 92 | * [[ILetGwenStacyDie I Let Rachel Get Evicted]]: What got Tyson to breakdown and gave him the determination to take control of the game. |
| 93 | * InspirationallyDisadvantaged: After he dislocates his shoulder in the Episode 3 Immunity Challenge, he still insists in competing in the next Immunity Challenge, then goes on to help his tribe win once more. |
| 94 | * {{Keet}}: Has shades of this later on in the season. It's that smile of his. |
| 95 | * KickTheDog: After Katie draws the rock, he stands up as if the hug her, then looks her in the eyes and says "Your jury seat's over there." Katie calls him out on this. |
| 96 | * TheLancer: To Tadhana post-shuffle, though he's actually TheStarscream. |
| 97 | * LeanAndMean: When he has to be, he can have quite a mean streak. This is especially shown after the final 6 rock drawing. |
| 98 | * LoveableRogue: As the lead coconut bandit and the big bad wolf. |
| 99 | * ManipulativeBastard: Tyson gets the Tadhana members on his new tribe to tell him the clues to the first hidden immunity idol, which he eventually found. Also, he forms a new alliance with said members and also convinced Monica to go against her alliance and vote out Aras. Later on, when the minority tried to sway Monica into voting with them, he always got her to do whatever he wanted in the end. |
| 100 | * ManlyTears: After Rachel's elimination. He also breaks down in tears after he's announced as the winner. |
| 101 | * [[MyGreatestSecondChance My Greatest Third Chance]]: Played ''entirely'' straight. He even had two former winners voting for him! |
| 102 | * OlderAndWiser: He certainly learned a lot in his past two attempts. |
| 103 | * OlderThanHeLooks: He certainly doesn't look like he's in his thirties. |
| 104 | * RedOniBlueOni: The red to Rachel's blue. |
| 105 | * SoleSurvivor: The 26th overall and 15th male winner of the franchise. |
| 106 | * TallDarkAndSnarky: The second tallest guy this season and the most snarky contestant. |
| 107 | * TheStarscream: Formed an alliance with Gervase to vote out Aras and succeeded. |
| 108 | * ThirdTimesTheCharm: This is his third time playing the game and finally wins. |
| 109 | * TookALevelInBadass: Appears very competent compared to his first two tries. This becomes true after winning the season. |
| 110 | * TookALevelInKindness: Not as mean as in previous seasons, though he's a whole lot deadlier as a player. It's hard to imagine Tyson from Tocantins, who said it was fun to watch people cry, crying over his girlfriend being eliminated. |
| 111 | * TrademarkFavoriteFood: He's very fond of eating coconuts. |
| 112 | * VillainProtagonist: He takes on this role after the merge. He is, however, [[AntiHero less]] [[AntiVillain villainous]] than the usual examples. |

| 124 | |
| 125 | Homemaker, alumna of ''[[Characters/SurvivorOneWorld One World]]'' (eliminated at 14th place), and a player for Galang, opposite her husband Brad. |
| 126 | ---- |
| 127 | * ActionMom: Won three consecutive challenges in the merge. |
| 128 | * AloofDarkHairedGirl: In stark contrast to the more chatty Brad. |
| 129 | * AlwaysSecondBest: How she feels, compared to her husband the NFL player. Then, she becomes this to Tyson. |
| 130 | * ButtMonkey: Her husband receives an incredible amount of abuse during the Redemption Island, and the winners constantly give her the immunity idol clues in order to paint a target on her back. Though affiliated with Tyson, she was really just another number to most and pretty much everyone grilled her in the final council for being perceived as fake. The poor lady could not catch a break. |
| 131 | * BrokenTears: Especially seen during the Final Tribal Council...although, she did receive a brunt of the grilling from the Jury. |
| 132 | * DiabolusExMachina: Attempted by the Codys. As revenge for John's elimination, they give her the clue to the Immunity Idol after John wins at Redemption Island, [[IronicEcho hoping that it will make her a target in Galang just as it made John one in Tadhana.]] ''She [[TakeAThirdOption burns it in the fire urn on Redemption Island.]]'' |
| 133 | * HappilyMarried: To Brad. |
| 134 | * HouseWife: Called a Homemaker in her profile. |
| 135 | * MsFanservice: You won't find many 42 year olds who look as good as she does. |
| 136 | * MyGreatestSecondChance: Played straight. Among the ''One World'' returnees, she had the worst finish. Here, not only was she the only one of the three to make the merge, but she managed to win the most individual challenges with three, make it to the finals and finished in second. |
| 137 | * OlderThanSheLooks: During filming, she was ''42''. |
| 138 | * RedOniBlueOni: The blue to Brad's red. |
| 139 | * RevengeByProxy: People were not particularly fond of Brad and they used her to get to him. |
| 140 | * TheRival: She and her husband to the Codys, though their rivalry with John is more civil than with Candice. |
| 141 | * UnwittingPawn: To Tyson, who she's voted with during every single Tribal Council thus far. When Hayden brings it up, he's promptly voted out. |
| 142 | * WildCard: Tyson and Gervase had several confessionals worrying about whether or not Monica's state of mind would ultimately fuck them over. Fortunately for them, it didn't. |

| 152 | |
| 153 | Cigar shop owner, alumnus of ''[[Characters/SurvivorBorneo Borneo]]'', the very first season (eliminated at 7th place), and a player for Galang, opposite his niece Marissa. |
| 154 | ---- |
| 155 | * CallBack: |
| 156 | ** Gervase has a "[[{{Characters/SurvivorBorneo}} Pagong]]" tattoo. |
| 157 | ** Very much during the EatThat challenge, where the dreaded grubs that he couldn't eat in ''Borneo'' return turned up to eleven. Gervase's [[OhNoNotAgain reaction to them says it all]]. |
| 158 | * CoolUncle: Downplayed. |
| 159 | * TheBusCameBack: It most certainly did for Gervase, seeing as he hasn't played in 13 years. It was the longest gap between seasons for any contestant, until his ''Borneo'' castmate Kelly Wiglesworth returned in ''Cambodia''. |
| 160 | * HistoryRepeats: The second alumni from the inaugural season to finish 3rd, the first being his former Pagong tribemate Jenna Lewis in ''All-Stars''. |
| 161 | ** Also, the gross food challenge: just like in Borneo, he was forced to eat grubs, and once again, his squeamishness was his downfall. |
| 162 | * LargeHam: His post-challenge victory celebrations, reactions at the food challenge, and voting confessional for Hayden say it all. |
| 163 | ** This came back to bite him twice. The first time, his over-the-top reactions resulted in his niece being voted off first. The second time, his antics (post-merge) rubbed the jury the wrong way, resulting with him receiving zero votes in the finale. |
| 164 | * TheLoad: He struggles with swimming in the first challenge (sound familiar?). |
| 165 | * MyGreatestSecondChance: Played straight. Though he didn't received any votes in the end and finished 3rd, he is the first ''Borneo'' alumni to make it to the final tribal council in their second attempt at the game[[note]]His former Pagong tribemate Jenna Lewis also finished 3rd in ''All-Stars'', but didn't made the finals and is that season's final jury member. None of the other ''Borneo'' alumni in ''All-Stars'' made the merge[[/note]]. |
| 166 | * NiceJobBreakingItHero: Gloating after winning gets his niece voted off[[note]]Some post-show interviews disagree, stating that Marissa calling Brad out on Day 1 was what did her in, but Gervase's gloating didn't help[[/note]]. |
| 167 | * NumberTwo: To Tyson. |
| 168 | * TookALevelInBadass: Throughout the season his challenge strength, especially swimming ability, improves drastically. |
| 169 | * UnwittingInstigatorOfDoom: By [[UnsportsmanlikeGloating rubbing Galang's win in the first Immunity Challenge in the faces of Tadhana]], he essentially sealed his niece Marissa's fate and caused her tribe to vote her off first. |
| 170 | * OhNoNotAgain: His reaction at having to eat grubs again, 13 years after his original notorious encounter with them. |
| 171 | * OlderSidekick: He is ten years older than Tyson. |
| 172 | * OlderThanHeLooks: It's been 13 years since he first played, yet he barely looks any older. |
| 173 | * RedOniBlueOni: The red to Marissa's blue. |

| 187 | ---- |
| 188 | * AmazinglyEmbarrassingParents: {{Shipping}} her daughter. On national TV. On a popular global RealityShow, no less. Katie probably screamed at home when that confessional aired. |
| 189 | * [[BackFromTheDead Back From Elimination]]: Won the post-merge Redemption Island challenges. |
| 190 | * BrutalHonesty: At the final five, she goes up to Monica and starts talking shit to her in attempt to convince her to switch. Ciera is not happy with that. |
| 191 | * ChewingTheScenery: In her first elimination. |
| 192 | * CoolOldLady: The ''first'' female and the ''second'' overall winner of the franchise, Ladies and Gentlemen. |
| 193 | * CompetitionFreak: Both herself and her daughter admit to being this. |
| 194 | * EnemyMine: Worked with Laura M. in episode 11 in order to get rid of the very competent Vytas. |
| 195 | * EveryoneLovesBlondes: InUniverse, upon Ciera's elimination, Tina was the favorite to win it all, until she was booted. |
| 196 | * FriendlyRivalry: With Laura M. on Redemption Island. |
| 197 | * GracefulLoser: Does both while ChewingTheScenery at the same time in her first elimination. |
| 198 | * GuileHeroine: One of the series' firsts in fact. |
| 199 | * HistoryRepeats: Tina still ended up as the final something. In her original season she was the winner, hence the last one standing. In ''All-Stars'' she was last place. Here, she's the final jury member. |
| 200 | * IronLady: She's practically the Alpha female of her tribe. |
| 201 | * LadyOfWar: Retains her grace in challenges, regardless of the pressure. |
| 202 | * TheLeader: To Galang post-shuffle. |
| 203 | * MickeyMousing: During the final immunity challenge, the editors [[https://www.reddit.com/r/survivor/comments/ucuk63/i_cant_be_the_only_one_who_finds_tinas_jumping_in/ sync the music]] with Tina bouncing on the net. |
| 204 | * NeverMessWithGranny: She's bested her own daughter in multiple challenges. She also bested Laura M. in the final Redemption Island duel, to much surprise. |
| 205 | * OutlivingOnesOffspring: Technically, she was voted off before Katie, but Tina eventually beat Katie on Redemption Island and came back to the game before she was eliminated again as the last jury member. A RealLife and more tragic example would be the death of her son (via car accident) at the time this season was airing. |
| 206 | * RedOniBlueOni: The red to her daughter's blue. |
| 207 | * ShipperOnDeck: For Vytas and her daughter, Katie. |
| 208 | * TeamMom: She plays the motherly role on Galang. |
| 209 | * VictoriasSecretCompartment: Upon receiving the Hidden Immunity Idol clue after winning the final duel, she promptly puts it into her bra. |

| 219 | |
| 220 | Ciera was chosen by public vote to return the Second Chance season, Survivor: Cambodia. |
| 221 | ---- |
| 222 | * AloofDarkHairedGirl: Downplayed. While she can be composed, she's still sociable. |
| 223 | * BewareTheNiceOnes: She's a super nice person in the game, but once she cuts her own mother's throat? Game on. |
| 224 | * BreakoutCharacter: Ciera was basically the most stand out first time player in the season and was voted back [[Characters/SurvivorCambodia two]] [[Characters/SurvivorGameChangers more]] times because of it. |
| 225 | %%* ChekhovsGunman: Laura M. occasionally mentioned her during ''Samoa''. |
| 226 | * ChronicBackstabbingDisorder: First she votes out her mom, then she betrays the loved ones alliance only to return to them at the next vote. All in the span of three consecutive Tribal Councils. |
| 227 | * ComingOfAgeStory: Episode 10 is pretty much Ciera having to accept the fact that she has to vote out her mom if she wants to stay in the game, which is something she never would've considered up until then. |
| 228 | * TheCutie: Her tribe seems to see her as this. |
| 229 | * FromNobodyToNightmare: Who would've thought of all people '''CIERA''' would be the one who had the best shot at winning up until Tina's return? |
| 230 | * HappilyMarried: And with two children too. |
| 231 | %%* IDidWhatIHadToDo: The entire point of her character arc in episode 10. |
| 232 | * LastOfHerKind: The last Tadhana/non-returning player standing in the game. |
| 233 | * {{Leitmotif}}: Ciera is the only contestant this season to specifically get her own theme upon being voted out. It can be found [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t6e4ZXTShBM here, and it is awesome]] |
| 234 | * LovelyAngels: With Katie until the tribe shuffle. |
| 235 | * TheMillstone: Has caused her tribe to lose two Immunity Challenges at the puzzle stages, however, she later wins an individual immunity which ultimately proves she isn't the weakest player in the season. |
| 236 | * NotAfraidToDie: By drawing rocks in Episode 12. |
| 237 | * RedOniBlueOni: The blue to her mom's red. She stated that it's actually the other way around in their normal life. |
| 238 | * TheSmurfettePrinciple: After the tribe shuffle, she ends up the only girl on a tribe with 5 guys (the DistaffCounterpart to Vytas). |
| 239 | * SmugSmiler: After everyone was rooting for Kat, her mom beats Kat in a duel at Redemption, and Ciera smiles one of the smuggest smiles all season. |
| 240 | * SpinOffspring: Her mother is a previous contestant. |
| 241 | * TeenPregnancy: She got pregnant at 17 and kept the baby. |
| 242 | * TomboyAndGirlyGirl: The girly girl to Katie's tomboy. |
| 243 | * UngratefulBastard: Caleb made a huge move to save her in Episode 4. She becomes the swing vote at the Final 7, and guess who she ends up taking out? |

| 253 | ---- |
| 254 | * AbsurdlyYouthfulMother: A variant: While she may be in her forties, she looks much younger than that and she had Ciera when she was barely in her twenties. In fact, she's also a grandmother. |
| 255 | * ActionMom: She's great at challenges, and this asset of hers is cited as one of the reasons she was voted off Galang (i.e. she had a good shot at beating Brad.) Then. she goes on and wins her way back into the game, and has another winning streak before ultimately losing to Tina. |
| 256 | * AloofDarkHairedGirl: Became apparent after she was sent to Redemption Island. |

| 264 | * MyGreatestSecondChance: Ultimately, she played a much better game and finished in a much better rank compared to ''Samoa''. Against tougher competitors, no less! |
| 265 | * NeverMessWithGranny: Technically a grandma despite only being 43, yet still quite capable of kicking ass in duels. |
| 266 | * NiceGirl: Quite possibly the nicest character the whole season |

| 282 | ---- |
| 283 | * TheAllAmericanBoy: Classy, friendly, and an all around nice guy. |
| 284 | * BatmanGambit: While ultimately unsuccessful, Hayden pulls off one of the tightest gambits in series history by using the white/purple rock to his advantage. |
| 285 | ** First, by making himself a target so he would get the three votes, therefore being safe in the purple rock tiebreaker. |
| 286 | ** Second, by changing the vote to Monica instead of Tyson so she would get the other three votes and also be safe. This would leave Tyson vulnerable instead so long as he didn't play his idol. |
| 287 | ** Third, by swinging Ciera ''in Tribal Council'' under the noses of Gervase, Tyson, and Monica, who were so confident that Tyson didn't play his idol and would be vulnerable to the rock. |
| 288 | ** Four, permanently removing the fourth from a four person alliance to fight with him in the future of the game. |
| 289 | ** Fifth, just the sheer fact that he was able to convince this group of three (the dominant force of the season, someone with many friends on the jury, and one of the more unstable players in a long time) to draw rocks while he sat in the background and watched. |
| 290 | *** Ultimately it didn't work because Katie would draw the rock, but had Tyson picked the rock and been taken out of the game, it would have been one of the best moves of all time. As it stands, it's still one of the most valiant attempts. |
| 291 | * TheBigGuy: The strongest of the guys, physically. |
| 292 | * TheCassandra: Tried to get Monica to flip by claiming she was a pawn of Tyson. It backfired and he was sent to Redemption Island. |

| 296 | * GoodOlBoy: He's from [[EverythingIsBigInTexas Texas]]. |

| 298 | * HeroicBuild: He's well-built and a heroic contestant, with a touch of snark. |
| 299 | * IdenticalStranger: He bears a resemblance to [[Characters/SurvivorTocantins J.T.]] as well as [[Characters/SurvivorPhilippines Malcolm]]. He also has a resemblance to [[Characters/SurvivorNicaragua Fabio]] in that his gameplay is very similar to Fabio's (befriend everybody and blindside potential threats after the merge) and that he's very good at physical challenges especially post merge. |
| 300 | * [[ILetGwenStacyDie I Let Kat Get Evicted]]: Felt guilty that he didn't trade places with Kat after she was eliminated. |

| 305 | * MrFanservice: One of the handsomest guys this season along with John Cody. |
| 306 | * NiceGuy: Seems to be one of the more friendly and easy going members of Tadhana. He's also a loving boyfriend to his girlfriend, Kat and cries ManlyTears when she's evicted. He's also pretty honest, almost to a fault. |
| 307 | * OnlySaneMan: The most level headed contestant so far. |
| 308 | * PermaStubble: Being on Survivor for several weeks, he's starting to grow this. |

He would eventually play again in ''[[Characters/SurvivorGameChangers Game Changers]]''. |
| 550 | ---- |
| 551 | * ActionDad: Brad was a former NFL player and still capable athletically. |
| 552 | * ChekhovsGunman[=/=]TheGhost: Monica occasionally mentioned or referred to him during ''One World''. |
| 553 | * TheChessmaster: Brad is trying to be this, trying to take full control of his tribe. |
| 554 | * DiscOneFinalBoss: The first few episodes were *heavily* about him, with him getting a "controlling villain" edit. |
| 555 | * DumbJock: He has trouble explaining that 5 has majority on a tribe of 9. In the words of certain fans, "Math is hard". This of course leads us to... |
| 556 | * DumbMuscle: If you couldn't tell, he's not very good with numbers. |
| 557 | * EstablishingCharacterMoment: He plays with his heart, as noted when he talks about how he would throw challenge for Monica. |
| 558 | * GracefulLoser: Surprisingly, he showed a lot of class when voted out, and then later when he is eliminated at Redemption Island, he goes out with a kind speech. |
| 559 | * HappilyMarried: To Monica. |
| 560 | * HeroicBuild: He is very muscular and athletic. Something you'd expect for a classic hero build. |
| 561 | * LastNameBasis: Jeff tends to refer to him exclusively as "Culpepper". |
| 562 | * TheLeader: Of Tadhana, or at least he tries to be. |
| 563 | * MotorMouth: He's a very talkative guy. |
| 564 | * NoSocialSkills: He has no idea when to shut up. |
| 565 | * OlderThanHeLooks: He's ''44''. |
| 566 | * OneHeadTaller: With Monica. |
| 567 | * [[OneSteveLimit One John Limit]]: Averted with John Cody, but lessened by the fact that he's both OnlyKnownByTheirNickname and Jeff goes into LastNameBasis with him. |
| 568 | * PluckyComicRelief: Many fans laughed at his inability to do math. |
| 569 | * PointyHairedBoss: What gotten him voted out. |
| 570 | * PuppetKing: Brad thinks he's in full control of Tadhana despite Vytas making more of the vital decisions for his alliance. Brad can also be this to his other alliance members who are already tired of his attitude. |
| 571 | * RedOniBlueOni: The red to Monica's blue. |
| 572 | * RetiredBadass: Besides playing for the aforementioned teams for eight years (1992-2000), he also had a distinguished career with the Florida Gators (and is also a Hall of Famer). |
| 573 | * RewardedAsATraitorDeserves: He blindsided John, and as a result his alliance loses trust in him and turns on him at the next tribal council. |
| 574 | * TheRival: He and his wife to Candice. Their rivalry with John is on a more respectable ground. |
| 575 | * TheScapeGoat: Take note that he is not responsible for organizing the votes against Marissa (which was unanimous) and Rachel (which was Vytas' idea), yet he gets the brunt of the blame for it. |
| 576 | * TestosteronePoisoning: His plans for his all male alliance didn't end up working out very well. |

| 585 | Physician, anesthesiologist, alumna of ''[[Characters/SurvivorCookIslands Cook Islands]]'' and ''[[Characters/HeroesVsVillains Heroes vs. Villains]]'' (placing 8th both times), and a player for Galang, opposite her husband John. |

| 587 | * ActionGirl: She won multiple challenges on RI. |
| 588 | * AlliterativeName: Also has a case of TwoFirstNames. |
| 589 | * BattleCouple: With her husband now that they are on the same island. |
| 590 | * BookEnds: In day 1, she and Rupert became the first two inhabitants of Redemption Island. In the last RI duel before the merge, Laura B. and John were defeated (by Laura M.) and sent home. |
| 591 | * EleventhHourRanger: Meta-example. Originally [[Characters/SurvivorPhilippines R.C. Saint-Amour]] was going to compete in this season with her father, but they couldn't when he got sick. Thus, Candice and her husband were brought in at the last minute. |
| 592 | * FlippingTheBird: Towards Brad at redemption island, after she finds out that he blindsided her husband. |
| 593 | * HospitalHottie: She's an attractive anesthesiologist. |
| 594 | * {{Hypocrite}}: |
| 595 | ** Her actions towards Culpepper when her husband was sent to Redemption Island and her conversation with Monica in her own boot episode is something you wouldn't expect from someone who has made a reputation of betraying her tribe. ''Twice''. |
| 596 | ** Also, she memorably snarks at Monica for obeying Brad when he tells her to burn the clue to the Immunity Idol, moments after ordering her own husband to give Monica the clue. |
| 597 | * MaleGaze: Candice got a boob job between Heroes vs. Villains and this season. |
| 598 | * MyGreatestSecondChance: Subverted, this is the first time she didn't make the merge and jury. That being said, this season shows her best physical game. |

| 600 | * TheRival: She and her husband to the Culpeppers, though they were more civil with John. |
| 601 | * TheSmurfettePrinciple: Of the ''Heroes vs. Villains'' returnees. |
| 602 | * SuddenNameChange: Before this season, but after [[Characters/SurvivorHeroesVsVillains Heroes Vs. Villains]], she was known as Candice Woodcock. |
| 603 | * TrueBlueFemininity: Once again, her outfits are mostly blue. Since this is a season with no blue-colored tribe (at least pre-merge), it's safe to say that this is her favorite color. |

| 616 | * PrecisionFStrike: "F*ck You Brad Culpepper!!" |
| 617 | * RedOniBlueOni: The blue to Gervase's red. |
| 618 | * RevengeByProxy: Became a victim of this. |
| 619 | * SassyBlackWoman: Toned down. She is, however, visibly pissed at her tribe for using her to get rid of her uncle. |
| 620 | * SpinOffspring: Or niece in her case. |

| 638 | * MyDeathIsJustTheBeginning: Her elimination is what gets Tyson to focus on winning the game rather than just having fun. |
| 639 | * MsFanservice: Downplayed. While attractive, she still pretty modest. |
| 640 | * OutOfFocus: Received an edit comparable to [[Characters/SurvivorMicronesia Mary Who?]]. |
| 641 | * ThePawn: She became this to the all-men alliance of the original Tadhana's BatmanGambit. The first or main reason they voted her off is for a chance that Tyson, TheBigGuy of Galang, switching with her in Redemption Island to weaken his tribe. And if he didn't (which what happened), they just secured themselves as Tadhana's majority. |
| 642 | * RedOniBlueOni: The blue to Tyson's red. |
| 643 | * SacrificialLamb: Enforced by her tribemates as they want to use her as bait for Tyson so he would switch places with her in Redemption Island. He didn't. |
| 644 | * StatuesqueStunner: One of the taller females. |
| 645 | * WeHardlyKnewYe: Barely got screen time and ConfessionCam. |

| 655 | ---- |
| 656 | * AlliterativeName: First and last name starts with a ''C''. |
| 657 | * TheAtoner: Stated in his pre-game interview that he wants to redeem himself after his stint in ''One World''. It didn't last. |
| 658 | * CampGay: His voice is very campy and high-pitched, unlike Caleb's considerably deeper voice. |
| 659 | * EpicFail: He quit on day seven of what was considered the ''easiest'' season, survival wise (The weather was stable, consistently warm, and they had a nice supply of food) |
| 660 | * EstablishingCharacterMoment: He cries in the opening challenge. He cries a lot. |
| 661 | * TheFriendNobodyLikes: His entire tribe can't stand him, and refuse to play along with his attempts to cause chaos. |
| 662 | * GayConservative: He describes himself as this. |
| 663 | * [[HappilyMarried Happily Engaged]]: With Caleb. |
| 664 | * HumiliationConga: Jeff Probst gave him a very nasty TheReasonYouSuckSpeech upon quitting. |
| 665 | * JerkJustifications: Subscribes to the "kindness is weakness" version. He stated outright that [[EvilCannotComprehendGood he can't understand why]] his tribemates would want to be civil to each other while they're competing for a million dollars. |

| 667 | * NonGameplayElimination: Quit just before the second Redemption Island duel. |

| 673 | * ScrewThisImOuttaHere: Basically what he said upon quitting. |
| 674 | * SensitiveGuyAndManlyMan: The sensitive guy to Caleb's manly man. |
| 675 | * SissyVillain: One of, if not, the franchise's TropeCodifier. |
| 676 | * SmugSnake: And it didn't go well. |
| 677 | * TheReasonYouSuckSpeech: Upon quitting, was on the receiving end of a ''scathing'' speech, courtesy of Jeff Probst, who even accused him of faking his illness that got him out last time (which, in fairness to Colton, [[UnreliableNarrator is not exactly what happened]]). |
| 678 | * TokenEvilTeammate: To Galang. Actually deconstructed because unlike last time, he's on a tribe where he's the ''only'' one wants to play, in his own words, a chaotic game. |
| 679 | * UsedToBeASweetKid: According to him. |
