* Bhanu from ''46'' is a genuinely nice guy and is a rare case in modern times where someone came onto the show not looking to win, but simply to enjoy the experience. However, Bhanu's lack of understanding of how cutthroat the game can be leads to him repeatedly spilling everything he knows about his tribe, costing him any allies that could have helped him. Even the game itself seems to delight in screwing him over, as he's on the losing tribe (by the time he goes home, they've only won ''one'' challenge and it was a reward), he loses his vote, preventing him from even trying to save himself with his Shot in the Dark and ultimately gets voted out vocally as there's not even any need for a standard vote when he's so obviously screwed.

* Liz from ''46'' - She is actually allergic to most of the stuff on Fiji, such as coconuts. As a result? She actually had a much harder path than others since she couldn't eat most of the food that was available (such as coconuts). What made things worse was when Q won an [[ProductPlacement Applebees]] reward, multiple people said they wanted to give their spot to Liz specifically so she could get an actual meal (Which, at this point? She hadn't had in ''two weeks''.) Q of course turned them all down because he [[KickTheDog didn't want Liz to have any reward due to her voting against him]]. The fact he did this ''in front of her'' and turned down everyone until he got a group that ''wouldn't take Liz'' caused her to have an absolute breakdown... and what's worse? [[ManipulativeEditing The show cut this out]] - making it look as if [[{{Wangst}} she just broke down out of nowhere]]. Not only a KickTheDog for Q, but a KickTheDog for ''the editing crew''!

* Jake from ''45.'' Despite starting the game out well in a fairly good position on his starting tribe, Jake's troubles begin early as he faints twice in the early game, his body already getting worn down by the elements. Then the merge hits, and he tries and fails to save his ally Kaleb when the entire tribe turns on him. After that, Jake spends the rest of the game being used as a decoy, tool, extra vote, and occasionally punching bag of the other players as his starting tribe gets whittled down around him. Through all this, Jake constantly tries to make moves to shake up the game, only for his "allies" to constantly screw them up. This reaches the point that Jake breaks down crying in despair before the firemaking challenge, needing at least one thing to go right for him.

* Karla from ''43''. She has one of the rougher upbringings among the contestants of the season, having been impoverished and forced to steal to survive. She comes in and plays a pretty good game, only to be plagued with injuries. Despite that, she never stops trying but still goes home in the final 5. It only gets worse for her post-game when voting for Gabler to win got her maliciously attacked more so than any other juror by viewers who thought she was obligated to vote for Cassidy.
