History Characters / Survivor45

* AlphaBitch: Thinks very little of her tribe, and her attitude alone makes her an easy target for elimination. Downplayed as later she becomes a DefrostingIceQueen who forms a strong bond with Kaleb and immediately bonds with Austin and Drew after the tribe swap.
* BitchAlert: The first words out of her mouth establish her as one, with her attempting to discredit Bruce's claims that he doesn't have an unfair advantage, and when he attempts to amicably defuse the issue, she keeps pressing. Everyone notes privately that it was an awful first impression.

* EpicFail: Throughout the entirety of the competition, almost nothing went right for Lulu. They lost all three immunity challenges, didn't get flint until ''Day 9'', and only managed to win the last two immunity challenge thanks to major tribe swap. By the time of the merge, more than half the original were voted out, with Kaleb just barely making the jury. Only Emily managed to get a single-digit placement, and even then she didn't make it past the final 7, cementing Lulu's reputation as one of the worst performing tribes in Survivor history,

* EpicFail: Emily is the only member of this tribe to even attain a single-digit placement.
* [[FailureHero Failure Tribe]]: Throughout the first three episodes, Lulu had lost all three immunity challenges. Comparisons to Luzon from Cagayan, Malolo from Ghost Island, Matsing from Philippines and Ulong from Palau were made early on. They didn't even win the Sweat/Savvy challenge. In fact, even when they did win a challenge solely due to Kaleb, they proceed to lose the next one after. It wasn't until the tribe swap in Episode 4 that Lulu finally won their first immunity challenge. Even then though the original members still make this tribe one of the most pathetic in the entire series with two members quitting, one being a huge challenge liability, one overplaying, and one almost managing to be voted out first over those four. And the final member was almost voted out unanimously Pre Jury and swiftly removed after that. Their legacy as a losing tribe is sealed when Emily gets voted at the final 7 with just one vote thanks to Julie's hidden immunity idol.
* TotalPartyKill: Not one of them made the final 6.

->'''Eliminated:''' TBD

* TrueCompanions: For as downright nasty as they can be to their competition, the Reba Four are very close to each other and go out of their way to provide emotional support and protection to the others.

* DwindlingParty: Across the first four episodes only Lulu members were eliminated, leaving Emily and Kaleb as the sole remaining members of the tribe. But after Kaleb is voted out early in the merge, Emily is left as the only member of Lulu left.

* [[FailureHero Failure Tribe]]: Throughout the first three episodes, Lulu had lost all three immunity challenges. Comparisons to Luzon from Cagayan, Malolo from Ghost Island, Matsing from Philippines and Ulong from Palau were made early on. They didn't even win the Sweat/Savvy challenge.

And the final member was almost voted out unanimously Pre Jury and swiftly removed after that.

* DarkAndTroubledPast: '''Does she ever.''' While it was hinted at in episode 10 from her reaction to receiving a letter from her mother (who she went no contact with a year prior), we learn so much more in episode 11. Katurah was taken out of school when she was in the fifth grade because her family joined a religious cult, and immediately, she was forced to work various jobs despite being a child. At the age 14, the leader of the cult her family joined specifically chose her ''to be his bride''. Luckily, her mother finally saw how depraved that was and ran away with her from the cult, but Katurah then had to go to high school with a severe disadvantage due to her stunted learning growth, and then had to deal with the prejudices of being black, poor, a woman, and gay. Making it all the more amazing that [[EarnedYourHappyEnding she still managed to become a very upbeat person and went on to become a lawyer]].

* AlphaBitch: Thinks very little of her tribe, and her attitude alone makes her an easy target for elimination. Downplayed as later she becomes a DefrostingIceQueen who forms a strong bond with Kaleb and immediately bonds with Austin and Drew after the tribe swap.
* BitchAlert: The first words out of her mouth establish her as one, with her attempting to discredit Bruce's claims that he doesn't have an unfair advantage, and when he attempts to amicably defuse the issue, she keeps pressing. Everyone notes privately that it was an awful first impression.
* TheCobblersChildrenHaveNoShoes: In her day to day life, Emily is an investment analyst. She also admits to being extremely bad with numbers.
* TheCynic: Assumes the worst of her fellow team members' intentions almost immediately. She's also the only person to challenge Bruce and his return on the boat before anyone sets foot on the island.
* DecoyAntagonist: Her first couple episodes paint her as a negative, unlikable villain and BigBad of Lulu's story, but after some much needed character development she becomes a much more positive presence, to the point that her rival Sabiyah comes out looking worse by comparison.
* DefrostingIceQueen: After talking with other members of her tribe, she's trying to learn from her errors and become kinder.
* FunnyBackgroundEvent: After her tribe loses the episode 5 immunity challenge, Emily, who sat out, can be seen with a blurred out mouth.
* IntelligenceEqualsIsolation: How she felt on Lulu. She was one of the tribe's smartest members, but was isolated because she refused to engage with their antics.
* {{Irony}}: Would've originally been the first boot of the season and first member of Lulu eliminated had Hannah not quit. She ends up lasting the longest out of everyone in the tribe and is the only original member left by the time of the final 10.
* LastOfHerKind: Following Kaleb's elimination on Day 14, Emily is the last remaining Lulu member in the game.
* TheMole: For the Reba Core Four, Emily acts like she's just as much on the outs as the other players, when in reality she's been working with and relaying info to Austin and Drew.
* OnlyFriend: Kaleb seems to be the only person willing to give her the time of day.
* PragmaticHero: Although she's taken several levels in kindness, Emily is still fully willing to vote against people she openly admits she considers friends to further her position in the game, including Kaleb and Kellie and openly admits that she's trying butter up Bruce for a possible jury vote while openly planning to vote him out.
* TheSixthRanger: To the core four Reba Alliance. She joins them after the tribe swap, but is as much a loyal member as the others.
* TheSmartGirl: She's shown to be very intelligent, especially since her job requires analyzing massive amounts of data.
* SpannerInTheWorks: Her warning Kaleb that the vote was going to be on him led to him playing his Shot in the Dark, ruining the plan to send him home and leading to J. Maya going home.
* TearsOfJoy: Upon winning her first immunity in Episode 4, she cries tears of joy and hugs Austin.

->'''Hometown:''' West Warwick, RI
->'''Current Residence:''' West Warwick, RI
->'''Occupation:''' Insurance agent
->'''Eliminated:''' 4-3-1, Day 19

* TooDumbToLive: Believing Emily, who's been working against him all game, that he didn't need to play his idle since she was going to flip. Even though he knew there was no chance of Katurah working with him to flip the game, so even if Emily was being honest, the plan was doomed to fail.

* PragmaticHero: Although she's taken several levels in kindness, Emily is still fully willing to vote against people she openly admits she considers friends to further her position in the game, including Kaleb and Kellie.

* TeamDad: Despite wanting to be seen as the "Cool Uncle" instead, his teammates view him as this.

* TrueCompanions: For as downright *nasty* as they can be to their competition, the Reba Four are very close to each other and go out of their way to provide emotional support and protection to the others.

* TheFriendNobodyLikes: Despite the fact that he's the leader of the Belo alliance, his tribemates don't hold him in much regard due to his difficult personality. This reaches the point where *everyone* celebrates when he gets voted out, even the jury.

* BigBad: The main antagonist of this season being the cruelest enforcer of the Reba Four.

* ArchEnemy: She and Bruce can't stand each other.

* TheFriendNobodyLikes: Despite the fact that he's the leader of the Belo alliance, his tribemates don't hold him in much regard due to his ban on interacting with non-Belos.

* DwindlingParty: Once the jury phase begins, the Belos fall apart and start getting pagonged by the more united Reba Four.

[[folder:Bruce Perrault - ''Survivor 44'']]
[[quoteleft:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/bruce_perreault_5.jpg]]
->'''Tribe:''' Belo --> Lulu
->'''Age:''' 47
->'''Hometown:''' West Warwick, RI
->'''Current Residence:''' West Warwick, RI
->'''Occupation:''' Insurance agent

* AntiHero: Bruce is a good guy and means well, but he's also jealous, controlling, stubborn, proud, and incredibly difficult to work with.
* ArchEnemy: He and Katurah can't stand each other.
* BaldOfAuthority: He's the leader of the Belo alliance.
* BewareTheSillyOnes: Bruce is a major goofball, but he's also fully aware that Katurah is working against him and is a great challenge performer.
* ControlFreak: Bruce constantly feels the need to exercise control over his allies, demanding they vote and play his way.
* DeconstructedCharacterArchetype: Of the alpha male tribal leaders like Andrew Savage and Tom Westman. Like them, he quickly assumed a leadership position in his tribe, with most of said tribe in an alliance with him, and is a challenge beast, leading his tribe to victory throughout the tribal portion, losing only one member who was swapped to a different tribe. However, unlike them, Bruce's chokehold on the other players games gradually rubbed his tribe the wrong way, and after jealously sacrificing Kaleb to hold onto his power and respect, his tribe imploded, with Katurah betraying the group, Jake becoming a free agent, and Kendra and Kellie plotting against him, allowing the Reba tribe, which lost more members at the merge to easily steamroll the divided group.
* EccentricMentor: Acts as one for his tribe, as while he is their mentor and leader, he's also making a joke a minute.
* FatalFlaw: Vanity. Bruce loves to be the center of attention, and part of the reason he spent most of his time entertaining his tribe was so they would always be interacting with him. As he quickly became the leader of Belo, his need to hold that position drove him to turn on a potential ally in Kaleb purely out of jealousy and spite for his natural charisma. Doing so turned the other players against him, forcing him to go on an immunity run to stay in the game while his tribe implodes around him.
* TheFriendNobodyLikes: Despite the fact that he's the leader of the Belo alliance, his tribemates don't hold him in much regard due to his ban on interacting with non-Belos.
* GreenEyedMonster: When he realizes Kaleb seems to be usurping his popularity among the tribe, with him being left out of conversations, he becomes extremely hostile toward Kaleb and lobbies to get him eliminated.
* JerkassRealization: After learning that Kellie saw him as a hindrance to her game, Bruce begins to sincerely reflect and realizes that he's been insufferable.
* TheMillstone: The disintegration of Belo after the merge can be traced directly back to Bruce's insistence on running the tribe his way.
* MyGreatestSecondChance: Following his very short stint in [[Characters/Survivor44 his previous season]], Bruce returns to play the game properly this time. By virtue of making it past Day 1, he has beaten his original performance. Along with that, unlike what eventually happed with his first tribe, Tika, after his exit, the tribes Bruce was a part in this season manage to be immune for the entire tribal phase.
* ObliviousToHatred: He has no idea that Kellie, who he believes is his number one ally, loathes him and views him as dragging her game down.
* TeamDad: Despite wanting to be seen as the "Cool Uncle" instead, his teammates view him as this.
* ThisMeansWar: Upon realizing that Katurah is trying to run a smear campaign against, him all but says she's going down.
* TookALevelInJerkass: He becomes a lot less pleasant come the merge, lashing out at tribemates who disagree with him and shooting down all dissent within his alliance.
* WrongGenreSavvy: He seems to be playing an old-school tribal loyalty season of Survivor, which the other tribe members universally dismiss as archaic, and rapidly loses him the merge tribes respect.

* BigBad: The main antagonist of this season being the cruelest enforcer of the Reba Four.
* AlphaBitch: Loves to belittle and bully other ladies constantly making fake promises especially to Emily, Kendra and Kellie. What really sells this though, is her cruel treatment of Jake with Drew the BitchInSheepsClothing abusing him.
* ChekhovsSkill: Dee has a longer than average big toe and boasted that she can handle the balance portions well. She proves that boast in the following Immunity Challenge when she easily crossed the balance beam. It helps her again in the first individual immunity challenge.
* DarkActionGirl: On top of her challenge skill, Dee can also be manipulative and devious.
* KickTheDog: She, along with Drew, eat a much bigger portion of rice than Jake.
* TheLeader: She's the main one calling the shots of the Reba Four.

* ActionGirl: One of the most capable challenge performers on her tribe.
* AscendedToCarnivorism: She's been a vegetarian for 15 years, yet wastes no time in chowing down on a chicken she won as a reward.
* CantKillYouStillNeedYou: Shortly after the merge, she gets fed up with Bruce's attitude and plots to blindside him, only to be talked out of it by Kellie since Bruce is too valuable a meat shield that early into the game.
* DeathGlare: Gives a vicious one to Emily when she helps Drew and Austin vote out Brando.
* GroinAttack: During the second immunity challenge, Kendra fell groin first into the balance beam.
* HorribleJudgeOfCharacter: Continues to trust and confide in Emily and Drew after they both screwed her over twice. Obviously, the third time she pays for it with a snuffed torch.
* TheLadette: She's shown to get along with the guys very well, and definitely on occasion acts like just as much of a guy as any of them.

* BreakTheCutie: Between his body giving out, and him being constantly on the outs and lied to by others, he ends up crying in Episode 10 when he learns that Bruce wasn't honest with him about his idol.

* DisproportionateRetribution: He swore revenge on J. Maya and Kellie, aggressively lobbied to his alliance for them to be eliminated, and took the first shot he had to take away their shots at the millionn dollars... because they chose an advantage he hated over sandwiches, which he wanted.

* ALighterShadeOfBlack: Compared to his alliancemates Drew and Dee, while he is prone to aggression and loves to lie, he's not as bad as then all things considered.
