* ShockingElimination: Stephenie, Cirie, Tom, Tyson, Boston Rob, JT, Candice, and Danielle.
* WhatAnIdiot: JT handing over the idol to Russel, who is the scummiest person in the entire season. The confessionals seem to be edited to make him look like a giant dumbass for this move.
** Tyson decides to ignore Rob's strategy for whatever reason, and chooses to quickly vote out Parvati rather than flush out the idol by splitting the vote between her and Russel. Parvati gets the idol as a part of Russel's BatmanGambit, and Tyson heads home. He even says he's a victim of his own stupidity.
*** Tyson's reasoning makes sense. Rob's plan was a 3-3 split. If Russell was to be believed, he would be voting Parvati. It would then be reasonable to assume that Parvati and Daniele would be voting Russell, for a 5-4 vote against Russell. If Tyson saw Parvati as the bigger threat, switching his vote to turn it 5-4 against Parvati - who had a much larger target and reputation going into the season (since they hadn't yet seen Russell play) - would eliminate her and potentially give him Russell as an option down the line. He just misread that Russell actually did have the idol and was banking on Tyson to perceive Parvati as the bigger threat.

* DesignatedVillain: Sandra: She may be hot-tempered and potty-mouthed, but nothing she did on her first season really justified her being placed on the Villains tribe. The fact that she was the mortal enemy of one of the show's most hated villains ever (Jonny Fairplay) should have made her a Hero by itself. Lampshaded by her when she states she should be with the Heroes, and tries repeatedly (and unsuccessfully) to join their alliance and warn them of each of Russel's plans.

**** Sandra does have a KickTheDog moment in the first challenge, when she unhooks Sugar's top, which is lampshaded by Cirie as establishing Sandra's villain status.

** Coach, for not being a SpotlightStealingSquad this time around and being played sheerly for comic relief whenever possible.
** Danielle to some extent, going from the villain that eliminated Terry, to TheWoobie who got backstabbed by Russell where it hurt.

* DesignatedHero: A few of the heroes come across as this. Some of them were assigned to the hero role because they were compared to people worse than them in their respective seasons, but they look bad when compared to similar heroes. Standouts include James, who was [[StopHavingFunGuys angry and aggressive a lot]], and Candice [[TheQuisling who defected to the Villains side]]. The latter, though, is treated as a FaceHeelTurn by the remaining heroes.

* NeverLiveItDown: J.T giving Russell his idol - the very same idol that would cause his elimination.
* RootingForTheEmpire: Some people ended up rooting for the Villain Tribe - if only because some TookALevelInKindness while some of the Heroes also TookALevelInJerkass, and were actively trying to take down the BigBad Russell while the Heroes played into his hands. Hell, some of [[DesignatedVillain the Villains]] felt more like Heroes than [[DesignatedHero the Heroes]] themselves!

** Though perhaps her status as a villain could come from her willingness to backstab anybody, including her close friends. Seen best when, in her original season, she threw out all of the tribe's fish after Rupert got voted out, and then had no problem letting her best friend, Christa, be blamed for it.
