* HeroKiller: Getting rid of Gret

* HeroKiller

* LargeAndInCharge

* SmugSnake

* TedBaxter

* BreakoutCharacter

* DitzyGenius

* TheStinger: During the montage where the women of Pagong proclaim that Joel is a chauvinist, Joel adamantly denies that he is one and thinks that women are equal to men. But at the very end, Joel makes a weird little fluttering movement with his eyes that suggests that maybe he really is one.

* OrIsIt: During the montage where the women of Pagong proclaim that Joel is a chauvinist, Joel adamantly denies that he is one and thinks that women are equal to men. But at the very end, Joel makes a weird little fluttering movement with his eyes that suggests that maybe he really is one.

* DesignatedVillain

* EvilIsCool

* HoYay: With Sean and Greg.

* LoveToHate
* MagnificentBastard

* VindicatedByHistory: At the time his season aired, Richard's win was considered quite surprising due to his arrogance, "unethical" game play and, according to some, he was being slightly ''evil'' for turning Survivor into a cutthroat game of numbers and social politics. Nowadays, he is respected as the standard to which all contestants on the show are judged, and his tactics are Survivor 101.

* [[TheyJustDidntCare He Just Didn't Care]]: The Episode 12 Immunity Challenge involved listening to a story concerning various local legends told by Jeff, and then running into the forest to answer trivia about it. Rudy, knowing that he wasn't going anyway, blew off the story and answered every question with the now [[MemeticMutation memetic]] "I dunno".

* EnsembleDarkhorse

* {{Moe}}

* TheWoobie: She's the only one who doesn't receive videos from home.

* VindicatedByHistory: Looking back now, Joel was the only person on Pagong, except for maybe Gervase, who had any clue that a game was taking place.

* GermansLoveDavidHasselhoff: In a complete 180 to the opinions of America, B.B. was perhaps one of the most popular characters on Survivor in Australia when it aired at the time, and the general consensus was that the Pagong tribe, apart from B.B., were lazy.

* MemeticMutation: The posters on the Survivor Sucks messageboard have a running joke that they play on newbies, pretending that B.B died a few years ago.

* EnsembleDarkhorse: Due to being the ''literal first person voted off Survivor'', Sonja remains more remembered among the fanbase than perhaps she ought to be(certainly more than first boot contestants in recent seasons).

* HoYay: With Sean.
** And Greg.

* BigBad / AntiHero: To the Tagi alliance
* ChaoticNeutral

* ChaoticGood

* LawfulGood

* TheDragon or TheStarscream: Depending on what point of the season it is she's either the most ardent supporter of Richard's alliance or planning to backstab him with Kelly.

* HoYay: With Richard
* NeutralGood

* TooDumbToLive: Arguably the single worst player strategically in the entire season. His early post-merge decision to openly vote for people based on alphabetical order is what ultimately costs Pagong their last chance to topple the Richard/Sue/Rudy/Kelly alliance.

* NeutralGood

* StrawMisogynist: Depending on whether or not you believe that his "Women are the stupidest things on the planet next to cows" comment was meant as a joke or not.
* TrueNeutral

* EstrogenBrigadeBait
* StrawMisogynist: [[AlternateCharacterInterpretation Possibly]].

* TheFundamentalist

* BoredOnBoard

* AllThereInTheManual: In the companion book the show, MarkBurnett espouses in detail about how Greg basically drove the crew ''nuts''.

* HoYay: With Sean.

* HairTriggerTemper: She has her moments

* DangerouslyGenreSavvy
* DefeatingTheUndefeatable

* {{Determinator}}

* {{Gayngster}}

* HolyShitQuotient
* HoYay: Do you still have to ask?
* JerkAssWoobie: He had a tough childhood and is discriminated for being gay.
* JerkWithAHeartOfJerk

* HotAmazon

* SpannerInTheWorks: How she outlasted Colleen, Sean, Sue, and Rudy and nearly beat Richard in the Final Jury.

* BreakoutCharacter

* GentleGiant

* [[TheyJustDidntCare He Just Didn't Care]]: The Episode 12 Immunity Challenge involved listening to a story concerning various local legends told by Jeff, and then running into the forest to answer trivia about it. Rudy, knowing that he wasn't going anyway, blew off the story and answered every question with the now [[MemeticMutation memetic]] "I DUNNO".

* ShellShockedVeteran

* TooCoolToLive

* BunnyEarsLawyer

* TheSlacker: Briefly with Dirk. He gets better, shortly before Dirk is voted off.
* TooCoolToLive: Of the final five, he came off as the most genuinely nice, pleasant guy there.

* HelloNurse
* IAmNotSpock: Aside from a very brief foray into Hollywood(starring alongside Rob Schneider in the 2001 movie ''TheAnimal''), Colleen hasn't been in the public eye ''at all'' since 2001, probably out of a desire not to be known as "that cute girl from Survivor".

* {{Determinator}}
* EstablishingCharacterMoment: When he hosted an impromptu island version of TheDatingGame with the rest of his Pagong tribe, but the introduction of Greg's coconut phone in Episode 4 is when we ''really'' got to see an extensive look into his personality(or as much as the producers would allow us to see).

* IAmNotSpock: Greg has avoided all publicity he ever gained from the show, even refusing to do any exit interviews(when he was voted off, Ramona stood in for him on the {{CBS}} ''Early Show'').

* TooCoolToLive

* {{Determinator}}

* NiceJobBreakingItHero: Even though Gretchen was a great inspirational leader for Pagong and the one who knew the most about wilderness survival, she was also the one most responsible for Pagong coming into the merge naive and unprepared for the threat that was the Tagi Alliance. Some contestants(such as Joel, and later on, Colleen, Jenna, and Gervase) were perfectly willing to make alliances, and there's a possibility that they would have formed one earlier had Gretchen not convinced them that alliance making was wrong.
* OlderThanTheyLook

* TooCoolToLive

* ExecutiveMeddling: She sued the producers of the show for allegedly encouraging Dirk and Sean to vote her out instead of Rudy. The case was eventually settled outside of court, and to this day the accusation raises eyebrows about how ''real'' the show really is.

-->'''Greg''': "B.B's a good guy. He's pretty strong willed and he's got his plan as well. He's caring. He commands respect. Definitely feels the difference between his age and other people, and doesn't want to seem to bridge that gap as much as just be who he is.

* SacrificialLamb

* CelebrityResemblance: Could pass for VanillaIce.

* NiceJobBreakingItHero: Even though Gretchen was a great inspirational leader for Pagong and the one who knew the most about wilderness survival, she was also the one most responsible for Pagong coming into the merge naive and unprepared for the threat that was the Tagi Alliance. Some contestants(such as Joel, and later on, Collen, Jenna, and Gervase) were perfectly willing to make alliances, and there's a possibility that they would have formed one earlier had Gretchen convinced them that alliance making was wrong.

* IllGirl: On the paddle ride to camp, she accidentally swallowed a lot of sea water, causing her to be ill, and she only got better a few days before getting voted off.

* VindicatedByHistory: At the time his season aired, Richard's win was considered quite surprising due to his arrogance, "unethical" game play and, according to some, he was being slightly ''evil'' for turning Survivor into a cutthroat game of numbers of numbers and social politics. Nowadays, he is respected as the standard to which all contestants on the show are judged, and his tactics are Survivor 101.

* BatmanGambit: Throwing the final challenge. He correctly assumed that Kelly would win and vote out Rudy, ensuring that ''he'' didn't have to vote out Rudy. Although they were extremely loyal allies throughout the whole game, Richard believed that he couldn't win against Rudy, so if he had won, he would have voted him vote over Kelly. This raises the possibility of Rudy feeling betrayed by Rich and voting for Kelly, so by throwing the challenge, Richard gets to throw the dirt onto Kelly. He also waited long enough to get the temptation(food, in this case oranges) from the host.

* ShoutOut: After leaving Richard's alliance out of guilt([[AlternateCharacterInterpretation or out of strategy to make herself look better in front the jury]]), she said she felt that not voting her conscience made her feel like [[StarWars Luke Skywalker]] being tempted by Darth Vader{Richard).

** And of course, on the very first day of Borneo, he said this:

* FoeYay: With Sue.

* WallOfBlather: One thing that almost everyone who plays with Jenna says is that she never, ever shuts up.

* CompletelyMissingThePoint: "The name of the game is to reduce the tribe!", [[BetterTheDevilYouKnow as opposed to say trying to sticking with your tribe as long as possible to pagong the other one.]]
