3!The Tribes
4
5[[folder:Bikal]]
6* AHouseDivided: Some of them can't get along but can put differences aside if they have to win. Except ''that'' time (Hi Brandon!).
7* BadassCrew: A group of veteran players who obviously learned (except for some) from their past mistakes and curb-stomps the team of NewMeat before the tribes merged.
8* TheBusCameBack: The original lineup.
9* FourPhilosophyEnsemble: Comes in two sets.
10** The four original members who remained.
11*** Philip = The Optimist.
12*** Corrine = The Cynic.
13*** Dawn = The Apathetic.
14*** Cochran = The Realist.
15** The four members who were drafted to Gota.
16*** Malcolm = The Optimist.
17*** Erik = The Conflicted.
18*** Brenda = The Apathetic.
19*** Andrea = The Realist.
20* FourTemperamentEnsemble: Likewise.
21** The four original members who remained.
22*** Philip = Choleric.
23*** Corrine = Sanguine.
24*** Dawn = Phlegm.
25*** Cochran = Melancholic.
26** The four members who were drafted to Gota.
27*** Malcolm = Choleric.
28*** Erik = Leukine.
29*** Brenda = Phlegm.
30*** Andrea = Sanguine.
31* MyGreatestSecondChance: Everyone's main goal. Played straight by Cochran, Dawn and Brenda. Despite placing in the same rank, Erik arguably played a better game this time around.
32* PurpleIsPowerful: Played straight with the original line up. Subverted after the tribe switch.
33* {{Zen Survivor}}s: The original lineup.
34[[/folder]]
35
36[[folder:Gota]]
37* AHouseDivided: Pre-merge. In the beginning their was the Cool Kids alliance, and the majority Gota Alliance.
38* {{Ascended Fanboy}}s: The original lineup.
39* BadassCrew: Post-switch. Gota consisted of four of the fitter Favorites, Eddie and Reynolds from the original Fans tribe, and Sherri. They would win the three remaining challenges.
40* TheBeautifulElite: Invoked after the tribal switch.
41* CannonFodder: OK, so they weren’t exactly military personnel. But that’s ''exactly'' how [[http://truedorktimes.com/s26/recaps/e14.htm this True Dork Times article]] described them after the tribal shuffle left them in the minority on both sides.
42--> "An entire tribe of cannon fodder, apparently by design."
43** Although it can be justified by the fact that they are facing a team of players that have field experience, and are more well-prepared before the game even started.
44* DividedWeFall: The members were so divided that they failed to flock together once the tribes merged.
45* DwindlingParty: Aside from the fact that they were curb-stomped, the team is very, ''very'' divided.
46* EpicFail: Pre-switch. Gota only won ''one'' Immunity Challenge. After that? They lost every single one, only getting Immunity right before the tribal swap because Bikal wanted to forfeit and get rid of Brandon Hantz.
47* [[FailureHero Failure Tribe]]: Pre-switch.
48* FourPhilosophyEnsemble: The four fans that reached the merge have this dynamic.
49** Sherri = The Cynic.
50** Reynold = The Optimist.
51** Eddie = The Apathetic.
52** Michael = The Realist.
53* FourTemperamentEnsemble: Likewise.
54** Sherri = Melancholic.
55** Reynold = Sanguine.
56** Eddie = Phlegmatic.
57** Michael = Choleric.
58* NewMeat: The original lineup.
59* TookALevelInBadass: Post-switch, they managed to win the remaining challenges before the merge.

70->'''Allegiance:''' Bikal (Favorites), Enil Edam
71->'''Born:''' January 17, 1987 (age 26)
72->'''From:''' Washington, D.C.
73
74John was born Jan 17, 1987. His hometown is Washington, D.C. He is a Harvard law student, alumnus from ''[[Characters/SurvivorSouthPacific South Pacific]]'' (eliminated at 8th place), and a player for Bikal. Once known in his first outing as an antisocial nerd, who'd get votes for each of Savaii's tribal councils, this time he showed a better, if not excellent, gameplay, for which he was rewarded with winning ''Caramoan'' -- and in the process becoming the second Sole Survivor going into the finals without a single vote cast against him ''and'' the third to win via a unanimous vote.
75----
76* TheAce: [[TookALevelInBadass Surprise!]]
77* AdvantageBall: While Cochran did not find any Hidden Immunity Idols, he did score two different challenge advantages that helped him win Individual Immunity twice.
78* AffablyEvil: Funny, charming, but he wants to make sure he's a part of everyone's Final 3 plan, and God help you if he suspects you aren't planning to take him.
79* AntiVillain: A little sneaky, but he's portrayed in more of a positive light despite it.
80* AscendedFanboy: Was one during ''South Pacific'', and still claims to be one even after having played the game.
81* BadassBookworm
82* TheCameo: Makes an appearance on ''[[Characters/SurvivorGameChangers Game Changers]]'' to give an advantage to Debbie while on exile.
83* CharacterDevelopment: Shown to be much more stronger, socially and strategically, than he was on ''South Pacific''.
84* TheChessmaster: Honestly, who would have thought that ''he'' has such a good strategy?
85* CurbStompBattle: Him against Dawn and Sherri in Final Tribal Council was essentially this. The Jury chewed Sherri out for riding the coattails post-merge and Dawn for her questionable game ethics, while heaping praise upon Cochran for his near-flawless physical, strategic and social gameplay. Only [[Characters/SurvivorFiji two]] [[Characters/SurvivorTocantins other]] contestants have ever [[FlawlessVictory swept the jury vote]].
86* DarkHorseVictory: Was anyone going in seriously expecting ''Cochran'' of all people winning this?
87** On the other hand, the season seems like it was almost set up specifically for Cochran to win. He had pre game allies on his tribe, a lot of favorites that were not favorites and a lot of fans that were not really fans.
88* DeadpanSnarker: Especially towards Phillip.
89* EarnYourHappyEnding: For a guy who spent his first season getting votes in every single tribal council he attended before being eliminated for trying to get back at his fellow castaways, the new and improved Cochran finally gets his big break by winning the game ([[NoDamageRun and then]] [[CurbStompBattle some more]]).
90* FlawlessVictory: The second competitor to achieve a "perfect game", [[NoDamageRun having no votes cast against him]] ''and'' [[CurbStompBattle receiving all the jury votes]].
91* GuileHero: Everyone is friends with him, even his "enemies". As one would expect, this allowed him to complete dominate the strategic and social games and decide who will be the next to go.
92* IntergenerationalFriendship: With Dawn.
93* InvincibleHero: See FlawlessVictory.
94* LastNameBasis: Was rarely or never referred to as John.
95* MyGreatestSecondChance: After his epic FlawlessVictory, he can be considered as the TropeCodifier.
96* NerdGlasses: Sports glasses and is a total Survivor nerd.
97* NonActionGuy: He admitted that his physical game would still be terrible in this season, but nevertheless pulled off three immunity wins (though two of them were with an advantage).
98** ActionSurvivor
99** NonActionSnarker
100* NoDamageRun: Which in turn netted him an awesome FlawlessVictory.
101* OddFriendship: With Brandon, at least until his meltdown.
102* PlayingBothSides: He's part of pretty much everyone's Final 3 plan. The only exception might have been Andrea, and she paid the ultimate price for that.
103* RedOniBlueOni: The blue to Dawn's red.
104* TheShortGuyWithGlasses
105* ShorterMeansSmarter
106* SoleSurvivor: The twenty sixth Sole Survivor.
107* TheStrategist
108* SupportingProtagonist
109* TemptingFate: After winning the final immunity challenge and guaranteeing himself a spot in the Final 3, he takes a moment to go on about how he has already won the million and the game is now a battle for second place between Dawn and Eddie. Subverted when he immediately Lampshades it, and then goes on to win anyway. [[CurbStompBattle Easily]].
110* TheManBehindTheMan: He and Dawn are shown to be making most of the strategic decisions on Bikal, not [[PuppetKing Phillip]]. After Phillip is taken out, he takes charge of his alliance.
111* TheSmartGuy / EvilGenius
112* TookALevelInBadass: In ''South Pacific'' he was widely known as [[TheShortGuyWithGlasses that little]] [[LonersAreFreaks antisocial nerd]] [[ButtMonkey picked on]] by the rest of Savaii (and then Te Tuna) and [[LockedOutOfTheLoop left out of the loop]] before betraying them and [[UnwittingPawn paid]] [[RewardedAsATraitorDeserves the ultimate]] [[YouHaveOutlivedYourUsefulness price]]. Here? Not only has he shown a better strategic, social and even physical gameplay, but he is also the real guy calling the shots in Bikal (not [[PuppetKing Philip]]) and decides the boot order. And then he wins the game [[NoDamageRun virtually]] [[CurbStompBattle uncontested]].
113* TookALevelInJerkass
114* WolfInSheepsClothing
115* YesMan: In the earlier stages of the game, he spent a lot of time indulging Philip's {{Cloudcuckoolander}} behavior.

130
131Sherri was born May 8, 1971. Her hometown is Boise, Idaho. She is a fast food franchisee and a player for Gota.
132----
133* {{Anti Hero}}ine
134* AscendedFangirl: As well as being the only fan able to recognize all the people in the Bikal crowd (sans Malcolm, as ''Philippines'' had not yet aired at the time of filming), she even named her son after ''[[Characters/SurvivorTheAustralianOutback Colby Donaldson]]''.
135* BigBadWannabe: What she ultimately turned out to be.
136* TheChessmaster: She arranged Allie's eviction to protect Shamar with the intentions of bringing him to the end as a perfect scapegoat. Unfortunately for her, Shamar ended up [[NonGameplayElimination medevaced]].
137* DiminishingVillainThreat: Although she started off strong by forming an alliance of six to counter Reynold's "Cool Kids Club", she ultimately turned out to be this as her alliance dwindled until the merge. After that, her strategy devolved into little more than riding coattails.
138* TheFriendNobodyLikes: She became this after joining Stealth R Us. Other members such as Andrea were reluctant on taking her in, she got into fights with other members such as Erik during the jury questioning, and Phillip, the one member who actually seemed liked her had "revoked" her membership at Final Tribal Council.
139* FrozenFace: All that botox certainly does wonders for her looks.
140* FacePalm: Not ''quite'' a facepalm per se, but she did have a ''very'' agitated look on her when Malcom revealed that he had two hidden immunity idols on him the whole time.
141* HumiliationConga: She got bashed pretty badly by the jury at Final Tribal Council. Clearly know one even considered voting for her to win.
142* IdiotBall: Grabs firm hold of it at the Final Tribal Council when she yells at and insults Erik. That, coupled with her terrible opening remarks made her a part of the set more than a player.
143* IntergenerationalFriendship: With Laura.
144* {{Irony}}:
145** Her entire basis for allying with Shamar was that she wanted him to be "her Phillip." Come the merge, Phillip offers her an alliance, and she's reluctant to ally with him because she can't stand him. [[Podcast/RobHasAPodcast Rob Cesternino]] put it rather accurately:
146-->"She wanted Shamar as a ''fake'' Phillip, but she didn't want to ally with the ''real'' Phillip!"
147** Another amusing bit of irony is the sheer fact that the entire game she has been trying to bring people like Shamar and Phillip to the end as her goat only for them to leave unexpectedly. Then she makes it to the end with ''herself as the goat''.
148* LastOfHerKind: The last remaining Fan.
149* TheLoad: Bordered on TheMillstone in tribal challenges.
150* NoSocialSkills: It became very evident as the game went on, particularly with her awful Final Tribal Council performance.
151* ThePawn: [[DumbMuscle Eddie]] of all people calls her a puppet.
152* PoorCommunicationKills: Once she faced the jury, her true colors came shining through.
153* ShootTheDog: Fought really hard for Laura to stay, but she still wrote her name down to avoid becoming the odd-man-out.
154* SixthRanger: To Stealth R Us after the merge.
155* SmugSnake: Probst himself even stated that out of everyone in the Final 5, she had zero chance of winning. He was right.
156* TokenEvilTeammate

170----
171* BadassTeacher

173* ChronicBackstabbingDisorder
174* CoolOldLady
175* DarkerAndEdgier
176* TheDragon: To Cochran.
177* DramaQueen: Arguably, in episode ten she flipped out hugely over losing her retainer, which Brenda easily retrieved.
178* EveryoneLovesBlondes
179* FaceHeelTurn
180* HumiliationConga: Final Tribal Council was not a fun experience for her.
181* HystericalWoman: She had a meltdown when she lost her false teeth in the waters.
182* IntergenerationalFriendship: With Cochran.
183* ManipulativeBitch
184* MyGreatestSecondChance: Made it to finals this time and is one step away ([[FlawlessVictory or not]]) from winning.
185* ProtagonistJourneyToVillain
186* PunchClockVillain: People are mad at her for voting Brenda out....in a game about voting off your biggest threat in the game.
187* RedOniBlueOni: The red to Cochran's blue.
188* SanitySlippage: As the season goes on she is becoming quite more unhinged (although she's aware of this).
189* TheSmurfettePrinciple: Of the ''South Pacific'' returnees.
190* TeamMom: What everyone thought of her as.
191* TheManBehindTheMan: She and Cochran are shown to be making most of the strategic decisions on Bikal, not [[PuppetKing Phillip]].

209Eddie was born July 13, 1989. His hometown is East Brunswick, New Jersey. He is a a fireman/EMT and player for Gota.
210----
211
212* BashBrothers: With Reynold and Malcolm.
213* TheBigGuy: The main reason why he and Reynold survived the pre-swap Gota was because tribe's need for win challenges.
214* BreadEggsBreadedEggs: He likes dogs, and he likes bars, so he wanted to open a [[MemeticMutation dog-bar]] if he won.
215* TheDeterminator: Eddie is a determined and persistent player. His determined personality managed to get him all the way to the Final Four. If he had won another individual challenge, he would have secured a spot in the Final Three.
216* TheDitz: He's a strong athletic competitor, but he's not the sharpest tool in the shed.
217* DumbMuscle: Eddie is athletic and muscular but he's really bad at strategy.
218* DumbassHasAPoint: For all of his stupidity at playing Survivor, his [[TakeThat jab]] at Sherri when she decides to switch to Stealth R Us 2.0 about wanting to play his own game and not wanting to be someone's puppet is pretty accurate for people who don't like Sherri, and completely unexpected from a guy like him.
219* FreudianTrio: Of the Three Amigos, he is the Ego.
220* HeterosexualLifePartners: With Reynold.
221* HiddenDepths: During Erik's medevac, he is able to explain exactly what is going on to Erik due to his job as an EMT.
222* IdiotBall: His plan with Reynold to take over then ten-man Gota with four people would've looked a little bit less idiotic had the same thing not happened [[Characters/SurvivorOneWorld two seasons ago]]. He ended up getting Allie and Hope, their two allies, voted out.
223** That was actually ManipulativeEditing in place. According to Allie in her exit interview on RobHasAPodcast, they believed they also had Matt and Laura on their side forming a majority.
224* IdiotHero: Eddie absolutely lacks good strategic sense in this game. See IdiotBall.
225* TheLancer: To Reynold.
226* LastOfHisKind: The final Amigo/Cool Kid.
227* MrFanservice: Eddie is one of the most attractive male contestants this season along with Reynold and Malcolm.
228* NiceGuy: Came across as a little smug at first, but was known for being very friendly and likeable towards his tribemates. He also gently walked Erik through his own medevac to keep him informed and calm
229* NiceJobBreakingItHero: By letting Andrea know that her name was brought up, he ruined the chance of his alliance taking her out with Reynold/Malcolm's idol and lost an ally in Michael because of it.
230* TagalongKid: He's the youngest member of The Three Amigos alliance.
231* TheRemnant: Of the "Cool Kids Club" that was originally formed between himself, Reynold, Hope, and Allie.
232* TrueCompanions: The Three Amigos.

245Erik was born Nov 27, 1985. His hometown is Santa Clarita, California. He is a comic book artist, returning player from ''[[Characters/SurvivorMicronesia Micronesia]]'' (eliminated at 5th place thanks to infamously surrendering his immunity), and player for Bikal.
246----
247* ActionSurvivor
248* AntiVillain: Not as much as Cochran, but it's there. Gameplay wise, anyway.
249* AscendedFanboy: Bonus points for being on Airai (the fans' team) in ''Micronesia'', the first "Fans vs. Favorites" season.
250* TheAtoner[=/=]RedemptionQuest: Hoped to redeem himself after his EpicFail of an elimination back in ''Micronesia''.
251* BadassBookworm: He is a comic book artist after all.
252* TheBigGuy: One of the two for Bikal.
253* BigEater: Most of his confessionals are about food.
254* BornUnlucky: Got medevaced in the exact same spot he got eliminated the first time and all because of an allergy he didn't know he had.
255* CharacterDevelopment: Compared to his younger, more naive self back in ''Micronesia'', he is far more socially aware, being the only man to call out Phillip on his actions and Andrea on playing both sides of Bikal's alliances. He also chosen to trust no one but himself and is a free agent similarly to Malcolm.
256** Also took on Sandra's strategy of "as long as it ain't me."
257* ChronicBackstabbingDisorder: He's been pretty low key about it, but so far he's betrayed quite a few of his allies. By the final 6 he has betrayed everyone except Brenda. Heartbreakingly he is medically evacuated right after Brenda is voted out.
258* CrouchingMoronHiddenBadass: This season Erik has come under fire for his strategic play, or lack thereof. However, in the Tribal Council where Phillip got eliminated, he points out that Malcolm and Eddie may not actually play the idols and Stealth R Us should still split the vote, forcing Malcolm to play both (which was not his plan) and therefore flushing both from play. He then votes for Phillip along with the Three Amigos, getting rid of the leader of his alliance that he can't stand while screwing over the Three Amigos with the idols. Who would've expected that from [[TheQuietOne The Silent One]]?
259* DiabolusexMachina: Oof, maybe one of the worst examples in Survivor history. He seemed like a lock for the F3 between his challenge prowess and unthreatening nature, he's medically evacuated from the game at the final five, the same spot he left in Survivor Micronesia.
260* DroppedABridgeOnHim: His evac is the very first thing to happen in the finale, out of absolutely nowhere.
261* FanservicePack: He is more well built compared to his skinny ([[MusclesAreMeaningless yet competent]]) appearance in ''Micronesia'', though he's still pretty skinny.
262* ICouldaBeenAContender
263* {{Keet}}: Especially when he's eating or wins a challenge.
264* LongHairedPrettyBoy
265* MrFanservice
266* MusclesAreMeaningless: Though he in now more well-built compared to ''Micronesia'', he is still pretty skinny, and yet physically competent.
267* MyGreatestSecondChance: Although he still placed 5th, his gameplay was arguably much stronger this time around (plus he left the game in a much less embarrassing manner).
268* NiceGuy
269* NonGameplayElimination: Right at the end of the game and in rather terrifying fashion. Right after tribal council, Erik collapses and is completely disoriented, continuously talking about how everything is spinning. At the time, it is believed that Erik is in a state of starvation and had to be pulled from the game. His fainting was so drastic that ''he didn't remember tribal council'', his next memory was waking up in the hospital thinking someone else had been voted out. As it would happen, Erik wasn't just starving but also having an allergic reaction. Off screen he was given a penicillin pill by the medic team earlier in the day for a minor infection but neither the medical team nor Erik knew at the time was allergic and would react negatively. He was medically cleared the next day thankfully but the rules of the game didn't allow him to return.
270* OddFriendship: Had one with Brandon, and when he voted Brandon off after his meltdown, Brandon responded with a "Love you, man".
271* OlderAndWiser
272* OutOfFocus: Not quite as bad as [[LivingProp Brenda]], but it's still there.
273* PlayingBothSides: Both at the start of the merge between Stealth R Us and Corinne/Malcolm's alliance, and later on when Brenda and Andrea were trying to get each other out.
274* PragmaticHero
275* ShonenHair
276* SixthRanger: To Stealth R Us.
277* TokenGoodTeammate: Serves as this to Stealth R Us and the Favorites in general.
278* TookaLevelInBadass: Gameplay-wise.
279* TurnCoat: In both ways actually.
280** Turned on Malcolm and gave Phillip a majority in the merge.
281** He was then the only member of Stealth R Us to vote for Phillip once the Three Amigos revealed their idols... and then subsequently voted with Stealth R Us come the next tribal council.

297Brenda was born Nov 3, 1982. Her hometown is Miami, Florida. She is a paddleboard company owner, returnee from ''[[Characters/SurvivorNicaragua Nicaragua]]'' (eliminated at 10th place), and player for Bikal.
298----
299
300* ActionGirl: She's one of the strongest female competitors of the season.
301* AloofDarkHairedGirl: The composed type.
302* AscendedExtra: Goes from ten straight episodes of being a LivingProp to suddenly becoming the center of attention between multiple contestants.
303* BabiesEverAfter: Had a child after ''Caramoan'' was finished. In fact, Brenda was unable to attend the reunion show because she was due to give birth at any moment then, but she did participate in the boradcast via satellite.
304* BadassAdorable: She's a strong competitor and she's very attractive and adorable.
305* BeingGoodSucks: The fact that she hadn't pissed anyone off or lied to anyone made her pop up on the radar as a credible threat, hence her elimination.
306* ButtMonkey: While not as bad as others such as Julia, Brenda Gotten OutOfFocus by the editing, stuck in the minority and won the challenge that became her DiabolusExMachina.
307* CharacterDevelopment: Unlike last time, she planned on being quiet and staying below the radar early in the game so as not to attract unwanted attention.
308* GracefulLadiesLikePurple: She seems to have a penchant for purple colored clothing.
309* HappilyMarried: After Caramoan was finished filming.
310* HoistByHerOwnPetard: Willing drops out of a immunity challenge so Dawn could win. It was the same immunity challenge that occurred when she was voted off in Nicaragua and the same thing happened here.
311* JerkassBall: After being nicer this time around, Brenda took all of her anger out on Dawn.
312* LadyOfWar: She manages to take out Andrea(who had an idol in her pocket).
313* LivingProp: Only for the first ''ten'' episodes.
314* MaleGaze: She is definite eye candy for the male viewers.
315* MsFanservice: Many male fans have commented on how physically beautiful and attractive Brenda is.
316* MyGreatestSecondChance: Although played straight in that she placed four places higher than she did in her original season.
317* NoGoodDeedGoesUnpunished: While there were other factors, ultimately, choosing to give up her loved ones reward led directly her elimination, as the generosity of that action made her a huge threat if she made it to the final three.
318* OlderAndWiser: Hopes she can apply the lessons she learned from ''Nicaragua'' to last longer in the game. It works.
319* OlderThanSheLooks: She's in her early 30s.
320* OnlyInFlorida: Brenda is from Miami, Florida.
321* OutGambitted: By Cochran.
322* OutOfFocus: Considering she hasn't really done anything interesting and she shared her original tribe with [[SpotlightStealingSquad Phillip and Brandon]] and her post-swap tribe with [[SpotlightStealingSquad Reynold]], this was inevitable. This stops around Episode 10.
323* PluckyGirl: Brenda has a very optimistic, upbeat and happy go lucky personality. However, it's a very bad idea to backstab or betray her. She doesn't take it very well. Right, Dawn?
324* SadisticChoice: After winning the loved ones reward challenge, she was forced to either keep her reward that she chose to share with Dawn and feast with ''two'' loved ones or ''give up'' her ''and'' Dawn's chance to see their loved ones in exchange for ''everyone else'' to feast with their two loved ones. If she went with the former, she would look like a selfish {{Jerkass}} but if she went with the latter (which she did), she would be seen as a jury threat. Damned if she did, damned if she didn't.
325* ShootTheShaggyDog: Her elimination is this.
326* SoreLoser: Very much so. She was extremely bitter about her vote-off. When she was voted out, she stood up and stared everyone down and see righteously told them that she was genuine and honest with them. She was particularly bitter towards Dawn at the Final Tribal.
327* TheStoic: She's pretty good at keeping her emotions in check while playing the game. Outside of the game, she is more NotSoStoic.
328* TheQuietOne: According to other castaways.
329* TookALevelInBadass: After being pushed into the background for half of the season, we finally get to see the strategic chops she has when Andrea starts targeting her for elimination, and is a big factor in Andrea's blindside.
330* TookALevelInKindness: Brenda was definitely a lot nicer this time around, even giving up the chance to spend time with her loved one(s).
331* SixthRanger: To Stealth R Us.
332* SpicyLatina: {{Downplayed}}. She's [[ButNotTooForeign half-Bolivian, half-Chinese]].
333** This side of her personality shows when she forces Dawn to take out her teeth in front of the jury, however.
334* TallPoppySyndrome: Brenda gotten targeted because of her athleticism and likability.
335* WorthyOpponent: She was a legitimate threat to win the season. Hence why everyone voted her out and blindsided her.

349Andrea was born May 10, 1989. Her hometown is New York, New York. She is an entertainment host/writer, returnee from ''[[Characters/SurvivorRedemptionIsland Redemption Island]]'', where she became the first woman to [[BackFromTheDead return from Redemption Island]] (coming in 5th place), and player for Bikal.
350----
351
352* BackstabBackfire: Her attempt at blindsiding Brenda results in her getting blindsided with an idol in her pocket.
353* CharacterDevelopment: Vows to play a smarter, more aggressive game than her first time around in ''Redemption Island'', where she was blindsided by her own alliance. Unfortunately for her, the exact same thing happens this time around.
354* DistaffCounterpart: Of from ''[[Characters/SurvivorGabon Ken Hoang]]''. Both had a high position of power in their alliance and had a good shot to win it all before devolving into a SmugSnake and attempted to betray a member of their alliance due to viewing them as a threat while forming a new alliance with outsiders. In both cases, it backfired on them and cost them the entire game.
355** In addition, both had a black best friend (Crystal and Phillip) that served as their closest ally in the game.
356* TheCutie: She is very sweet and adorable on the surface. However, she has a very ruthless and cunning side of her personality.
357* TheDragon: To Phillip, serving as "The Elminator" for Stealth R Us.
358** CoDragons: With Malcolm
359** DragonInChief: Held much more real power than [[PuppetKing Phillip]] actually did.
360** DragonAscendant: Subverted. While she thought she truly ascended after the Amigos took Phillip out, it was actually [[TheManBehindTheMan Cochran]] who ascended above everyone else.
361* EveryoneLovesBlondes: Andrea is a popular and attractive blonde. It's no wonder why so many male fans are drawn to her.
362* FanservicePack: Appears HotterAndSexier compared to ''Redemption Island''.

367* IntergenerationalFriendship: With Phillip.
368* TheLancer: To Bikal pre-shuffle.
369* MaleGaze: She's an absolute MsFanservice to boot and is very popular with the male viewers.
370* ManipulativeBitch: Started to develop into one with her attempt to backstab Brenda. It ended up getting her voted out.
371* MsFanservice: Thanks to the FanservicePack.
372* NiceGirl: Andrea has a very nice, easy going and pleasant personality. However, this season, she displayed some ruthless and cunning behavior.
373* OutGambitted: By Cochran.
374* PluckyGirl: She's upbeat, optimistic and doesn't bother with being a sore loser when she is outplayed.
375* SmugSnake: Had a very good shot at winning until she devolved into this late in the game.
376* TheSocialExpert: She calls herself a social butterfly and was cast for the Social Butterfly archetype. She tries to really use her social skills in her second attempt to form multiple alliances, so much so that it makes some of her tribemates distrust her post-merge. They see her as a jury threat.
377* TheStarscream: Her attempt to be this to Brenda is what got her eliminated.
378** On her ''Survivor: Life Aftershow'' exit interview, she also said that she planning to betray Cochran before he got her first.

393Reynold was born Dec 12, 1982. His hometown is San Francisco, California. He is a real estate salesman and a player for Gota.
394----
395* AccidentalMisnaming: Phillip continually calls him "Reynolds".
396* BashBrothers: With Eddie and Malcolm.
397* BornLucky: He finds the idol ''again'' shortly after playing it.
398* ButtMonkey: He keeps trying to make big moves all season, only for all of them to backfire spectacularly, while remaining on the outs with his tribe throughout the entire game.
399** Subverted, when he wins immunity which lets his alliance take out Phillip.
400* CharacterDevelopment[=/=]TookALevelInKindness: Becomes less of a jerk as time goes on, and becomes more of a blindly optimistic goofball.
401* {{Determinator}}
402* DumbMuscle: He's a very strong and athletic competitor but he's not the sharpest tool in the shed.
403* FailureHero: Reynold never was able to be in the majority and control the game.
404* FreudianTrio: Of the Three Amigos, he is the Id.
405* GracefulLoser: Despite getting screwed so many times, Reynolds said in his final words that he had the time of his life.
406* HappilyMarried: Reynolds got married right after filming, so by the time the show was airing, he was a newly wed.
407* HeterosexualLifePartners: With Eddie and also with Malcolm after the swap hits. He has a very close relationship with both men.
408* IdiotBall: His plan with Eddie backfired spectacularly, causing one of their alliance, Allie, to get the boot. Also, he hid the Hidden Immunity Idol in his pocket while wearing tight pants, then '''showed''' it to everyone during Tribal Council.
409** Later on after the swap, he tells Malcolm he has an idol. He later plays the idol on Malcolm after some last-second convincing.
410* IdiotHero: During the merge.
411* {{Jerkass}}: The first half of the game, mostly.
412** JerkJock: He's one of the most athletic contestants and he has a somewhat unpleasant personality while playing the game.
413** JerkWithAHeartOfGold: However, he's still a NiceGuy most of the time. He mellows out in the second half of the game.
414** JerkassHasAPoint: He may be somewhat smug and condescending, but his argument for keeping him and Eddie around because of their strength in challenges was pretty valid, and the rest of his team eventually came around and decided to keep the two men and vote out Laura.
415* MrFanservice: Reynold is one of the most attractive male contestants of the season, along with Malcolm and Eddie.
416* LargeHam: He makes his jury speech [[ItsAllAboutMe about him]] by making Dawn name adjectives that describe him. [[Administrivia/TropesAreTools He's so over-the-top about it, though]], [[SugarWiki/FunnyMoments that it's actually hysterical]].
417* NumberTwo: To Malcolm. Reynold is Malcolm's second in command in ever way. Malcolm gives out the orders and Reynold follows them and carries out his plans.
418* OlderThanTheyLook: He looks much younger than 30.
419* PornStache: After joining the jury, he shaves his beard into this for one Tribal Council in order to try and get a reaction from the people left in the game.

421* ShadowArchetype: To Malcolm.

441Malcolm was born May 7, 1986. His hometown is Hermosa Beach, California. He is a bartender, alumnus from the previous season, ''[[Characters/SurvivorPhilippines Philippines]]'' (where he survived attempts to eliminate him early on before being eliminated at 4th place, just one seat short of the Final Three), and a returning player, this time for Bikal.
442----
443* TheAce: Strategically, competitively and socially one of the strongest and most dominant players of the season and of the game in general. Malcolm is often regarded as one of the best players to never win.
444* AffablyEvil: Malcolm is very good at appearing nice and friendly to people, but absolutely plotting their demise and then stabbing them in the back. This seems to be his M.O.
445* AntiHero: Malcolm is very ruthless and conniving in the game but everything he does is strictly for strategic purposes and non-personal.
446* AscendedFanboy: Still claims to be one after playing the game last season.
447* BadassBiker: Owns a motorcycle after his 4th place finish on the previous season.
448* BackstabBackfire: His attempt to betray Phillip and Stealth R Us ending up as this. However, he did manage to idol Phillip out of the game before going down himself.
449* BashBrothers: with Reynold and Eddie.
450* TheBigGuy: One of the two for Bikal. He also doubles as TheSmartGuy.
451* BornLucky: Found the Hidden Immunity Idol for himself yet again.
452** And when he and Eddie were both in trouble due to Reynold winning immunity, he literally reached into a hole in front of Andrea and Dawn and found ''another'' idol. This allowed him to give his other idol to Eddie and kept their alliance of three completely safe that Tribal Council.
453* BreakoutCharacter: Won Fan Favorite at the end of the season.
454* CharacterDevelopment: Has chosen to play a "colder" game, trusting no one but himself in order to avoid endgame betrayal, like what happened [[Characters/SurvivorPhilippines last season]].
455* TheChessmaster: Became this on Gota after the swap. He's also this on a Enil Edam as he's still coming up with brilliant strategies however his allies keep screwing up his plans. However when his allies are competent he pulls off some crazy moves.
456* ConsummateLiar: Claims to be one when it comes to women.
457* DarkerAndEdgier: He's much more ruthless, conniving, manipulative and cunning than his previous appearance on "Philippines".
458* DeadpanSnarker: Occasionally. He's rather snarky, witty and sharp during his confessionals.
459* DecoyProtagonist
460* TheDeterminator: Malcolm is very determined and persistent in the way she plays the game. If there is someone that he wants out of the game, he won't hesitate to lie, scheme and backstab to get that person out.
461* TheDragon[=/=]DragonWithAnAgenda: While he serves as "The Enforcer" to Phillip, Malcolm is using him to take the heat off himself and move along with his own plans.
462** CoDragons: With Andrea.
463** DragonAscendant: Subverted. He tried to break away from Stealth R Us 2.0 and establish his own faction, but it failed.
464* FreudianTrio: Of the Three Amigos, he is the Superego.
465* GeniusBruiser: Malcolm is a very strong athletic and physical competitor, but he's also very brilliant, smart, savvy and strategic in the game. These qualities makes him a very dangerous player in the game.
466* GuileHero: Malcolm relies on the use of manipulation and strategy to further himself in the game. He's still a very strong physical competitor as well.
467* TheHeroDies: He is the 11th contestant voted out and he becomes the third jury member on Day 30. He made it farther on his previous season, but it's understandable why he was voted out--he was too dangerous of a player to let slide to the end.
468* HeterosexualLifePartners: with Reynold. Reynold sort of has a bromance love triangle with Eddie on one side and Malcolm on the other side.
469* {{Hunk}}: Malcolm is one of the most handsome and physically attractive male contestants in the history of Survivor. Not only is he this trope, but he's a PrettyBoy at the same time. When you put those two together, he's a LongHairedPrettyBoy.
470* INeedAFreakingDrink: Says this as he enters the walk of shame.
471* TheLeader: Of the Three Amigos.
472* LongHairedPrettyBoy: Malcolm is a combination of a {{Hunk}} and a PrettyBoy. His hair is long enough to pull back into a mid-ponytail or man bun.
473* LooksLikeJesus: Lampshaded in his original (the previous) season and he basically still looks the same.
474* ManipulativeBastard: Brilliantly convinces Reynold to give him his idol (despite secretly having one of his own) right after Reynold stood up to play his idol for himself, in order to send Andrea home... which would have been a fantastic play had [[OhCrap Andrea not heard about his plan to vote her off and switched the vote to Michael]]. Afterward, he finds another idol and gives it to Eddie that way all 3 of his alliance is safe and they take out Phillip.
475* MrFanservice: The amount of female fans he has is nothing to sneeze at.
476* NiceGuy: Outside of the game, Malcolm has a very down to earth, humble and pleasant personality. He can be ruthless and manipulative in the game, but it's purely for strategy. He never makes anything personal.
477* NobleDemon: He's ruthless, cunning and manipulative and he'll do anything to further himself in the game. However, he does have a moral code and he won't use extremely underhanded tactics to progress further in the game.
478* OnlySaneMan: Of Bikal.
479* TheQuietOne: Since he's the new kid he spent the first three days trying to make a good impression on the tribe by being nice and not causing any trouble. His plan worked -- he was the last to play for Bikal during its loss at the first immunity challenge, and and his name wasn't even brought up (unlike most examples, where those who played last for tribes losing immunity challenges become potential targets for elimination).
480* ShadowArchetype: To Reynold.
481* SoLastSeason: The only other reason he was voted out, aside from being a competent player, was because he is a back-to-back player, because by now, players have seen ''and'' learned how previous ones fared well in past seasons due to the advantage of being fresh from the game and not being analyzed/seen by other contestants. [[note]]Rupert Boneham (originally 8th in Pearl Islands, then 4th in All-Stars), Stephenie [=LaGrossa=], Bobby Jon Drinkard (originally ranked 7th and 10th in Palau, then 2nd and 9th in Guatemala, respectively) and Amanda Kimmel (originally 3rd in China, then 2nd in Micronesia) dramatically improved their ranks, while James Clement (same seasons as Amanda) played a much better game despite placing in the same rank (7th). Lastly, despite his rank dropping a notch, Russell Hantz (originally 2nd in Samoa, then 3rd in Heroes vs. Villains), had a much better physical game and, like Amanda above, was able to reach back-to-back final tribal councils.[[/note]]
482* TheSocialExpert: Malcolm has an excellent social game and he has an exceptional way of communicating and socializing with others. His social game is one of the strongest aspects of his game.
483* TheStarscream: A failed example to Stealth R Us, but he does manage to at least take out their leader Phillip before going out himself.
484* TheStrategist: He knows that the alpha males will be the first four targets post merge so he creates an alliance consisting of himself, Reynold, Erik, and Eddie. Then, despite being in the minority, he takes out Phillip through some clever idol play.
485* TallDarkAndHandsome
486* TallDarkAndSnarky
487* TrueCompanions: The Three Amigos (Eddie and Reynold).
488* WiseBeyondTheirYears
489* WorthyOpponent: They just merged and nobody wants to go to the end with him already because no one can beat him.
490* YouHaveOutlivedYourUsefulness: Attempted this on Phillip and his allies by creating a six-way alliance consisting of himself, [[AlphaBitch Corinne]], [[JerkJock Reynold]], [[DumbMuscle Eddie]], [[StraightGay Michael]], and [[{{Keet}} Erik]] to vote off Sherri and give them a 6-5 majority. It was ultimately subverted however, as Stealth R Us 2.0 caught word of what was going on, integrated Sherri, Brenda, and [[TurnCoat Erik]] into their alliance, sending Corinne packing and leaving Malcolm and his alliance on the outs.

657* GracefulLoser: He was blindsided but he took being voted out rather well.
658* ICouldaBeenAContender: Matt could have gone a lot farther in the game, but the switch happened and it completely screwed him over. It was nothing but being dealt a bad hand.

676Brandon was born Oct 15, 1991. His hometown is Katy, Texas and he's an oil tanker crewman, alumnus from ''South Pacific'' (eliminated at 6th place) and a player for Bikal. He's the youngest returning player and nephew of the infamous Russell Hantz from ''Samoa'', ''Heroes Vs Villains'' and ''Redemption Island''.
677----
678
679* AntiVillain: Possibly a Type III, seeing as he definitely sees himself as a hero, and believes he is doing good.
680* ArchEnemy: With Phillip.
681* BerserkButton: It seems to boil down to "[[IWantToBeARealMan threats to his manhood]]". He'd been having trouble with Phillip's condescending attitude for a while, but his blowup was specifically triggered out of jealously by Phillip lasting longer in the Reward Challenge and claiming most of the credit for the win, and totally burst upon hearing from Andrea that Phillip also seemed to be calling the shots on voting him off despite his apology, unknowing that it was actually [[ManBehindTheMan Cochran and Dawn]] who's calling the shots.
682* TheBrute: Of his alliance.
683* CharacterDevelopment: States he's playing a more strategic game this season but it didn't really work out. Yet to him he did develop...in a wrong way; see IWantToBeARealMan.
684* CloudCuckoolander: Brandon is a little out there.
685* DefiantToTheEnd: When did Brandon ever listen to or obey anyone? He even assumes his teammates argument (namely Phillip) as nonsense.
686* DiscOneFinalBoss: To Phillip. He took himself out of the game.
687* TheDogBitesBack: Brandon Hantz has did something ''nothing'' can forgive- threatened the health of his entire tribe by depriving them of their rice and beans and arguing over everything to the point he was willing to beat on people. Brandon easily got to this level of hated by his whole tribe when he snapped and dumped out their supplies just to spite Phillip and anyone trying to vote him out, but if that wasn't enough, he went crazy and got people scared to be on the same tribe with him. It was so bad that Bikal actually willingly forfeited an Immunity Challenge and demanded Brandon be kicked out of the game NOW. Jeff heard their wishes, agreed and conducted an impromptu Tribal Council on the beach, and Brandon was openly voted out with no need for privacy. On top of this, ''Survivor'' reprimanded him by forbidding him to attend the finale.
688* EntitledBastard: Brandon is very much entitled and spoiled when he doesn't get his way.
689* EvilFeelsGood: Said that he could feel his uncle Russell's blood rising inside him after Jeff ask him about the question of being in the 'blood related'
690* FaceHeelTurn: This occurs probably after the reunion of Survivor South Pacific (due to family issues) and decide this season he goes down differently. Of course this turns out not the way people would expect.
691* TheFriendNobodyLikes: The vote to evict him was unanimous among the tribe.
692* {{Griefer}}
693* HairTriggerTemper: Brandon has a quick temper and he gets easily angered.
694* HotBlooded: Brandon is passionate and hot headed.
695* IWantToBeARealMan[=/=]WellDoneSonGuy: His tantrum was partially a desire for validation from his family and he bragged that he didn't even cry once on the way out. In an interview, he actually stated he was pleased with how he came off on TV and that Russell was proud of him for becoming a "real man".
696* {{Jerkass}}: BIG TIME. But not as secretly manipulative as Russell plays.
697** JerkassHasAPoint: There are a few times during his meltdown where he actually has valid points, but the strongest point is when he tells Phillip that [[Characters/SurvivorRedemptionIsland Boston Rob]] brought him to the finals the first time because Rob knows he won't get a vote (although Phillip did get one vote) snd Phillip isn't as good of a player as he thinks he is.
698* LargeHam: Especially during his meltdown, where he damn near shouted every last word that came out of his mouth.
699* MoodSwinger: In episode two, Cochran commented on how he would continually switch from angry to nice without warning.
700* TheNapoleon
701* {{Narcissist}}: Or, as Phillip might say, "narcist".
702* NoIndoorVoice: Brandon is always yelling.
703* OddFriendship: With Cochran. And Erik, for that matter.
704* PapaWolf: The minute Phillip mentions his kids during the argument, which [[Characters/SurvivorRedemptionIsland Philips]] learns from Steve's argument and [[TheReasonYouSuckSpeech Julie's FTC speech]], Brandon gets even more upset.
705* PsychoPartyMember: ''Nobody'' on this show has ever willingly done more to harm their own tribe to the malicious extent that Brandon did. He was constantly angry and on the attack.
706* RageBreakingPoint: Brandon was already cracking from being shunned by his uncle, but Phillip kept saying things to progressively anger him more and more until Brandon decided to destroy the tribe's reward to even the playing field, had a catastrophic meltdown at camp that continued on at Bikal's arrival at the Immunity Challenge, walked away from his tribe in in a fit of rage because he couldn't even stand to be next to them, and left the game having to be held back by ''Jeff himself'' because Phillip had made a crack about his kids and Brandon was ready to take a swing at him.
707* RageQuit: ''Technically'' not a quit, as there was a vote, but Brandon's point was that ''he'' determined when the tribe voted him out (or as he put it, "''I'' am the author of my fate!"); and he had more than enough rage to make up for the technicality.
708* TheReasonYouSuckSpeech: Gives a long winded one to his team especially Phillip before "Tribal Council".
709* SanitySlippage: Due to the incident after the first [[Characters/SurvivorSouthPacific reunion show]], he has a major one, which causes him to take it out on his team and practically take himself out of the game due to his 'thinking'. One of the examples is Brandon's reason of spilling the rice and beans on purpose is because Phillip was talking nonsense when he came to apologize to him. (Turns out that Brandon's wrong as he did it out of anger to give everyone a reason to vote him out due to his jealousy and dislike of Phillip's attitude).
710** PetTheDog: Subverted, you have to felt sorry for him for acting like this due to his family issues and want to be accepted by becoming [[IWantToBeARealMan a real man]]. Had he not been giving much pressure after the first reunion he would be a bit nicer and less 'angry' at others.
711* SirSwearsALot: Brandon uses many curse words. Seems to be part of his regular vocabulary.
712* SpinOffspring: Well, he is the nephew of Russell Hantz.
713* SpotlightStealingSquad: Brandon received the most screen time out of anyone.
714* SuicideByCop
715* TattooedCrook: Brandon has various tattoos all over his body.
716* TeenPregnancy: Brandon became a father during his teens.

719* TokenEvilTeammate
720* TookALevelInDumbass
