* DwindlingParty: Post-swap Yaxhá were eliminated right at the merge, with only Danni left against five post-swap Nakúms.



* {{Guile Hero}}ine: Managed to claw her way into the finals by taking every advantage given to her in the game, including going into the merge with three stronger guys which would ensure she would be the last of her alliance standing, planting the seeds that led to Jaime's ouster over Gary, getting rid of Stephenie's ideal finals partner in Judd, and letting Rafe and Stephenie eat away at their own alliance until before anyone noticed, she was sitting in the finals against a former player who nobody wanted to vote for.
* LastOfHerKind: Danni was the sole survivor of her alliance at the final 6. The rest of post-swap Yaxha was pagonged at the start of the merge.
