* EvenEvilHasLovedOnes: The only redeeming quality about Dan is that he truly loves his son, Ryan.
Is there an issue? Send a MessageReason:
I don't think this applies this is a reality TV show and he wasn't scripted to be the Big Bad / main driver of conflict on the show. I also removed Even Evil Has Loved Ones because the trope is NRLEP and this entry was troping real life.


* BigBad: In a manner ''very'' unlike the series, he is the main antagonist not for being a controlling strategic threat, but for being an unrepentant sexual assaliant.



* EvenEvilHasLovedOnes: As horrible as his behavior is, he does genuinely seem to love his son.

Misuse per ATT thread


* {{Expy}}: Has a not-insignificant resemblance to a young [[Characters/SurvivorWorldsApart Joe Anglim]]. Though, his strategy of wanting to be liked by everyone while also being the surfer dude archetype gives him more than a passing resemblance to [[Characters/SurvivorNicaragua Fabio]].

YMMV


* DeconstructedCharacterArchetype: She is one towards [[FanNickname gamebots]] (aka players whose entire focus is on winning the game and maximizing their success at winning the game at the expense of everything else; forgetting that this is meant to be a social game). She made unnecessary "big moves" (such as keeping Karishima to vote out Chelsea in Episode 4 which [[HoistByTheirOwnPetard came back to bite her in the butt when she was voted out]]), and came across a huge {{Jerkass}} come the merge as she ended up {{Gaslighting}} on the show to advance her strategic game, and acts like a bully towards Karishma when trying to get her to vote-out Tommy.

Not So Different has been renamed, and it needs to be dewicked/moved


* NotSoDifferent: From Missy. Like Missy, she was planning on using Dan's inappropriate behavior in an attempt to trick Missy into thinking everyone was voting Dan out. The difference is that Kellee was genuinely forcing herself to continue working with Dan, and only went along with the attempt to vote him out because Jamal and Janet convinced her everyone was on board. And Kellee did not exaggerate, nor did she tell other girls, to exaggerate their own experiences with him and weaponize his behavior.

* HoistByTheirOwnPetard: Missy wanted to keep Karishma as an ally mostly so the latter could do whatever she wanted. That proved to be her undoing when Karishma stood up against her, and she and Elanie blindsided her.

removing Corrupt Corporate Executive from Dan, since the "Corporate Executive" part wasn't shown on-camera


* CorruptCorporateExecutive: Even more so than Richard Hatch who went to jail for trying to evade taxes, Dan Spilo embodies this trope in a way that extends beyond him as a television character. Dan was ejected for sexually harassing women on the show and off-camera.

* KnightOfCerebus: Beyond the occasional confessional, Dan didn't receive a lot of content prior to the merge. When the spotlight started shining on him, the season took a noticeably darker turn.

* InnocentlyInsensitive: At the beginning, it was rather clear that Dan intended no malice, but he came across like a slimy car salesman to some on the tribe. But then it ceased being innocent when he was asked to stop and didn't.

Added DiffLines:

* DecoyProtagonist / RedHerring: Before her elimination, she was considered to be one of the two front runners for winner. She's even the first asian woman to have had the most confessionals at any point in the season. The only reason Tommy was the front runner was because he was receiving the standard winner edit. This proved for naught as she gets eliminated halfway through.


Added DiffLines:

* {{Foreshadowing}}: Her ''very first'' confessional was about how uncomfortable Dan made her feel. He ends up being central to her downfall.

Added DiffLines:

* BittersweetEnding: Her cries for help were ignored and actively punished by the people she put her trust in, leading to her elimination. At the reunion show, Jeff takes the time to individually speak to her to apologize for not doing enough to protect her and to thank her for speaking up so that they can handle this issue better in the future. She was incredibly touched by this gesture.


Added DiffLines:

* ManipulativeEditing: Her elimination was supposedly to prevent a couple from running the game. Post-game interviews clarified that wasn't actually the reason she was eliminated at all. She just happened to be the victim of convoluted chaos. The ship tease angle was the only narrative that made any sort of sense, so the editors ran with that.

Added DiffLines:

* FatalFlaw: Her SoreLoser tendencies where she breaks into tears whenever she is given a relatively minor setback can be viewed as this as Noura took advantage of this flaw when Lauren was told that she'll be making fire at the final in which she was too busy having a VillainousBreakdown to fully practice on her fire-making skills then.
