Sole Survivor
Came back from Season 2: Brains vs. Brawn. Bitsy comes back to show that she's not just a nice girl, and there was a reason she was put on the Brains Tribe in Season 2.
- Anti-Villain: Type II, and how.
- The Bad Guy Wins: Although YMMV on whether she's actually bad or not.
- Being Evil Sucks: She may have played an extremely cutthroat game in order to get to the end and win, but she didn't enjoy doing it.
- Beneath the Mask: Like her above quote states, she becomes a ruthless power player who tries her best to hide that she's still a very sensitive person who feels like dirt whenever she backstabs one of her friends.
- Break the Cutie
- The Chessmaster
- Chronic Backstabbing Disorder
- Heroic BSoD: After she backstabs Violet.
- I Did What I Had to Do: Her justification for continuing to play the way she does.
- Karma Houdini: Two of the players she backstabbed voted for her because she gave good reasons for her betrayals.
- Manipulative Bitch
- Mean Character, Nice Actor: Becomes an example of this in the season.
- Mood-Swinger
- Protagonist Journey to Villain: Her arc for this season.
- Puppy-Dog Eyes: She tries these on several players, with varying degrees of success.
- Sickeningly Sweethearts: With Violet at times.
- Sole Survivor: The sixth, and is the first All-Stars winner.
- Took a Level in Badass: Deconstructed like all hell.
- Woobie, Destroyer of Worlds: The closest one we'll get in the series. That is, until Deimos in Season 18.
Runner-Up
Came back from Season 4: Fans vs. Canons. After learning a new trick, Kala comes back to brighten up the screen with her crazy antics.
- Cloud Cuckoolander
- Companion Cube: Happystick, Kevin, and her... special coconut friends.
- Dumbass Has a Point: She has an epiphany post-merge about how she's all but guaranteed to be dragged to the finals as a goat and makes a pretty convincing argument to Bitsy about how they need to take each other to the Final 2 as the only people they stand a chance of winning against respectively. And indeed, she does actually come close to beating Bitsy in the vote so she more than likely wasn't wrong about that.
- Genki Girl
- Smug Snake
- Took a Level in Jerkass: While she wasn't very pleasant in her first season, she's downright nasty this time.
The Jury
Came back from Season 1. The original Survivor: Fan Characters Action Girl is back to try and get further than 9th place like last time.
- Action Girl: Wins a fair share of the immunity challenges this time.
- The Lad-ette / Tomboy: She prefers the company of guys or tomboyish girls like her, which is why she hates being roped into an all-girl alliance and tries to defect from it. It doesn't work.
- Hypocrite: Was pissed when Bitsy backstabbed her, when she was planning on screwing over the girls alliance.
- One of the Guys: At least until the woman's alliance takes hold.
- Sore Loser: Quite salty when she's booted just shy of Final Tribal.
- Took a Level in Jerkass: Compared to her Nice Girl demeanor on her first season, Wendy is notably more callous and hypocritical this time around.
- Wounded Gazelle Gambit: This is why she wears an eyepatch.
Came back from Season 4: Fans vs. Canons. Lucky came back to prove she could have gone far if Minerva hadn't betrayed her.
- Born Unlucky: Subverted; this time, her 7 curse is completely averted (although, still, Four Is Death).
- The Heart: To the all-female alliance; the males try to vote her out partly because they recognize her as the glue keeping the alliance from splintering.
- Moment Killer: Tries to be this to Violet and Bitsy in one comic, complete with the "Goodnight, everybody!" catchphrase from her show.
- Team Mom: For the all-female alliance.
- Token Good Teammate: By far the least villainous of the group in terms of actions.
Came back from Season 3. He's given up the moniker of "N", and is determined to play a much better game than last time.
- Determinator

- Keet
- Nice Guy
- Real Men Wear Pink: A pair of pink pants to go with his green shirt, a stark contrast with his original blue and black color scheme.
- Took a Level in Badass
- Unwitting Instigator of Doom: If he didn't beat Violet for immunity at the final 8, the latter wouldn't be tricked by Bitsy and voted off, opening a path to the final 4 for the girls' alliance.
Came back from Season 3. Popper, one of the most popular contestants to ever play in the game, comes back to do... Popper things.
- Hypercompetent Sidekick: With Craig.
- Keet
- Product Placement: Popper LOVES Tootsie Rolls.
- Trademark Favorite Food: 'OOTSIES!

- Huge Guy, Tiny Girl: With Bitsy.
- Sickeningly Sweethearts: With Bitsy at times.

- The Rival: Wendy, to an extent.
- Took a Level in Kindness: Went from a mild Jerk Jock in Season One to a halfway decent human being in his return appearance.

- Last of His Kind: Only representative of Season 5 to make the jury.

Eliminated
Came back from Season 5: The Cursed Islands. Tries to play a more subtle, under-the-radar game, especially since nobody knows who she is (Season 5 was airing while All-Stars was filming) but people start to get suspicious...
- Action Girl
- Out of Focus: She does this to avoid being a threat, but people eventually see through this, resulting in her getting voted out just before the merge.
Came back from Season 2: Brains vs. Brawn. The series's first major villain is convinced that he can make it far at least one more time.
- Affably Evil: A big part of why he performs so well despite his reputation.
- Bald of Evil: Although he wears a toupee.
- The Chessmaster
- Cool Old Guy
- Disc-One Final Boss
- Game-Breaking Injury: Inflicted by Mo. Which then leads to...
- Suicide by Cop: Him giving up immunity and asking to get voted out, because he didn't want to be medevaced.
- Manipulative Bastard
- Mean Character, Nice Actor: Yes, he's ruthless in the game, but he's also a family man and Ellise mentions that he's a completely different person outside the game.
- Older and Wiser
- Self-Proclaimed Liar: His above quote says it all.
- Took a Level in Kindness: Seems to be a lot less of a dick this go-around.
Came back from Season 2: Brains vs. Brawn. Same old Mary thinks the producers are trying to screw with her after she's put on a tribe filled with non-humans.
- Back Story: She tells a truthful tale about how she began to hate furries with a passion.
- Character Development: She still hates furries by the end of the season, but while she's on Exile Island, she realizes (in her own narrow-minded way) that she doesn't just hate furries; she hates "bubbly, cheerful, delusional, self-righteous, arrogant, cutesy and angsty people with a passion", and 99.99% of the furries she's met just violate at least three of those. The only people she didn't hate were Sue, Denise, Ryan and Minerva, just because they happened to agree with her.
- Odd Friendship: With Minerva Mink, of all people.
Came back from Season 1. The guy still thinks he's the greatest Survivor ever, and still wants to be a master strategist.
- Earn Your Happy Ending: He leaves the game the second time having finally pulled off the one big move in the game he wanted to.
- Heroic Sacrifice: And without even realizing it. He gives Individual Immunity to Popper, the majority's intended target, only because he's his friend. Because he's eliminated for it, this is considered the only big move he's ever done.
Came back from Season 1. Charlie decides to play a lot harder around this time, and does not take the betrayal to her alliance well.
- Disproportionate Retribution: Voting off one of her allies she barely knows? She'll kill your best friend (well, it was a coconut, but still...)
- Fiery Redhead
- Goth: She got past the all black phase, though.
- Sitcom Arch-Nemesis: Now with Vinnie.
Came back from Season 5: The Cursed Islands. Even though he's never been untruthful, nobody seems to believe he actually made the finals in his previous season.
- Cloud Cuckoo Lander: Much like Coach from the actual show, we got to see a lot less of his antics this time around.
- Keet
Came back from Season 3. Beth assumes everyone will let her glide by since she's pretty boring and under-the-radar.
- Decoy Protagonist: SWSU said in his notes that he gave Beth all the signs of being the "forgettable girl who doesn't seem to fit the All-Stars criteria but goes on to win it all" a la Amber and Parvati to make her elimination all the more shocking.
- Flat Character: Even more so in All-Stars.
- Sore Loser: Acted rather entitled during her final words.
Came back from Season 4: Fans vs. Canon. This time, everyone knows her tricks and don't let her get the upper hand on them.
Came back for Season 10: Battle of the Tribes.
- Defiant to the End: Plays a fake immunity idol... just to see the shock on everyone's faces.
- Disc-One Final Boss: She was considered this by her tribe.
- Odd Friendship: Becomes friends with Mary, the series's resident furry hater.
- Starter Villain
