Sole Survivor
A doctor who tends to be very bossy, yet is nice once you get to know her.
First Trauma Center fan character.
- All of the Other Reindeer: After Bitsy is blindsided.
- Dark Horse Victory: After winding up on the outs thanks to the dominance of the Good People alliance, thanks to some careful and intense maneuvering and a creative immunity play at the Final 7, she's able to force the collapse of said Good People.
- The Dragon: To Vinnie, initially, though as things fall apart for the post-merge Carugas she decides to take another approach, initially working with him rather than for him and then being the one to do him in at the Final Four.
- Foil: An older female heroine to contrast Sky's younger male semi-antagonist.
- Heel–Face Turn: Goes from something of an underling to Big Bad Vinnie to the main force against the other antagonist faction, the hypocritical "Good People", and then usurping Vinnie by the end.
- The Plan: Her plan at the Final 7 tribal council to keep Kris and Vinnie in the game and upset the "Good People" alliance: Ellise won a vital immunity, but instead of keeping it at Tribal Council, she gives it to Kris - after the vote, she plays her hidden immunity idol, forcing Vinnie to play his immunity idol. After the votes are cast, none of the votes count at all, and this forces a tiebreaker between all four core members of the "Good People" alliance, with Denise being voted off. This not only ensures that Vinnie flips back to her side, and Kris with him, but also starts the downfall of the "Good People".
- Sole Survivor: The second and the first woman to win.

First Grand Theft Auto fan character.
Came back for Season 6: All Stars and Season 16: Blood VS Water.

- The Cameo: Came back as Kris's visitor in Battle of the Tribes.
- Hypocrite: And the same alliance ultimately ends up being full of this, with Chris as the ringleader: he refuses to vote out an injured contestant on the grounds that he'd be easier to beat at immunity, he allows Vinnie of all people into his fold despite the fact that he just backstabbed his own allies (the very reason the alliance voted Bitsy out in the first place), and is generally just a bad person with high opinions of himself.
