* {{Badass}}: Terry is tied for winning the most individual immunity challenges in a single season with 5.

* OneOfUs: He was [[OutOfFocus barely shown]] during his season, leading one to think that he may have been boring, but post show Bobby is perhaps one of the most well liked, quotable and fun cast members around. Check out his [[http://survivorsucks.yuku.com/topic/392/t/The-Deuceman-Cometh.html thread]] on Survivor Sucks where he dishes about his experiences on the show and why the editing screwed him over. It's surprisingly insightful.

* NiceHat: In the first episode.

* NiceHat

* TheLoad: Downplayed. Was viewed as this by Aras and is what led to her elimination.

* CoolOldLady: The women was an lumberjill and was the one who made Casaya hospital.

A fighter pilot from the original and switched La Mina tribe, Terry was lauded by almost everyone for his incredibly physical prowess, which saw him win several key immunity challenges both pre-merge and post-merge. After La Mina went into the merge in the minority and his fellow three tribemates Nick, Austin and Sally were all voted out in succession, it was only thanks to continuous immunity wins and an over-powered Hidden Immunity Idol that he managed to worm his way far into the game, where he made an enemy of almost the entire Casaya tribe (most noteably Aras), thanks to differing world views, values, and general attitude. Thanks to a late-game team-up with Danielle, he seemed almost destined to be in the finals. However, he ended up losing the final immunity challenge to Danielle, who despite promising him she would take him, sent him to the jury in 3rd place.
