| 8 | ---- |
| 9 | * AHouseDivided: At first from internal drama, then from literal breaking apart into other tribes. Once they hit the merge, only Jenna Lewis and Rupert remain. They do ''not'' join an alliance together. |
| 10 | * TheArtifact: Was dissolved into the other two tribes early on as the result of losing a specific challenge. |
| 11 | * TheBusCameBack: Like everyone else this season. |
| 12 | * EpicFail: Though not as bad as others, Saboga lost the first two immunity challenges and had the worst shelter of the tribes. |
| 13 | * [[FailureHero Failure Tribe]]: The first tribe to be dissolved before the merge. |
| 14 | * TheFellowshipHasEnded: Once the tribe is dissolved and split evenly between the Chapera and Mogo Mogo tribes. Following this, the tribe never gets the chance to reunite, as Ethan and Jerri are voted out right before the merge. |
| 15 | * HufflePuffHouse: They were chosen to dissolve (equally) into the other tribes early on, and only Jenna Lewis and Rupert make it particularly far. |
| 16 | * MyGreatestSecondChance: Played straight by Jenna Lewis and Rupert. |
| 17 | * TeethClenchedTeamwork: The patient zero of the "winners must go" drama, with two winners aboard. |

| 30 | * TeamSpirit: At least until the merge. |
| 31 | * WorldOfSnark: Everyone on Chapera(except for [[AndZoidberg Amber]]) was either a DeadpanSnarker or some kind of comic relief on their previous season. |

| 38 | ---- |
| 39 | * AHouseDivided |
| 40 | * AlwaysSecondBest: It's brought up by Colby that this was something that actually served them well during the beginning of the season when three tribes were present, as they were often able to do just well enough to stay ahead of at least one of the other tribes in challenges and avoid the severe consequences that would befall the last-place finisher. In the earliest stage of the game, they're the only one of the three tribes that avoided going to Tribal Council, only losing Jenna because she quit to be with her ailing mother. However, once the Saboga tribe is dissolved, leaving only two tribes left to compete in challenges, this comes back to hurt them. They find themselves unable to best the Chapera tribe in the majority of competitions, whittling their numbers down to the point that they come into the merge with a sizable disadvantage that they aren't able to overcome (even with Kathy and Shii Ann's individual immunity wins). |
| 41 | * BadassCrew: Subverted. The tribe was stacked with some of the best challenge competitors ever[[note]]In their original seasons Colby won eight individual challenges, Lex won five, Jenna won four, Kathy won four and Richard won one for a total of twenty-two, as opposed to Saboga's six and Chapera's two.[[/note]] but before Saboga's dissolve they consistently come in second place while after the dissolve they go on a losing streak. |
| 42 | * TheBusCameBack |
| 43 | * DwindlingParty |
| 44 | * IdiotBall: Voting out Jerri over Amber to appease Boston Rob. |
| 45 | * {{Irony}}: Before the tribe scramble, Mogo Mogo had the most decorated members; specifically two past winners (the one that invented the modern game of Survivor and the one that won the most individual immunity challenges and most jury votes at that point), that time's [[TheRunnerUpTakesItAll most celebrated]] runner-up and two competent third-placers who had a high chance of winning. Ultimately, not only was this the first tribe to be fully eliminated, its highest ranking member was the one who didn't make it to the merge and jury in her original season. |
| 46 | * MyGreatestSecondChance: Played straight by Shii Ann. |
| 47 | * RepetitiveName |
| 48 | * TeethClenchedTeamwork |
| 49 | * WorldOfHam: Lets see. We have [[MagnificentBastard Richard Hatch]], [[WitchHunt Lex]] van [[ControlFreak den Berghe]], [[AlphaBitch Jenna Morasca]], [[PatrioticFervor Colby Donaldson]], [[CoolOldLady Kathy Varvick-O'Brien]], and [[TheQuisling Shii-Ann Huang]]. |

| 60 | |
| 61 | [[folder:1st. Amber Brkich]] |
| 62 | [[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/s8_amber_brkich.jpg]] |
| 63 | ->'''Age/ home/ season:''' 25/ Beaver, Pennsylvania/ 2. ''The Australian Outback'' |
| 64 | ->'''Tribe:''' Chapera -> Chaboga Mogo |
| 65 | After All-Stars, Amber competed with Rob on Characters/TheAmazingRace7 and [[Characters/TheAmazingRaceAllStars2007 The First The Amazing Race All-Stars]]. |
| 66 | ---- |
| 67 | * BornLucky: Amber said she was lucky to be in an alliance with Boston Rob and to not be voted out at Final Tribal Council. |
| 68 | * CatchPhrase: Surprisingly averted. Not once in this season does she say her old catchphrase of "Oh my god, it's so good!" |
| 69 | ** Mario from Funny 115 even wrote about it in his website, here is the paragraph, |
| 70 | --> "Do you even have to ask if I went through All-Stars and counted the number of times Amber says "Oh my godddd, it's sooooo good"? Hell yeah, of course I did! But guess what? She never says it during All-Stars. Not even once. Amber must have watched Australia back in 2001 and gotten annoyed with herself too, because it's like she made a conscious effort not to say it at any point during All-Stars. And that superhuman ability to change and adapt is what made Lamber the single best player in Survivor history. Just admit it, she is now officially the best of the best." |
| 71 | * DarkHorseVictory: Did ''anyone'' expect Amber of all people to win going into the season? |
| 72 | ** A paragraph from Mario Lanza's Funny 115 says about this, |
| 73 | --> "By the way, nowadays Amber is mostly known as being Boston Rob's wife. She is also known as the winner of All-Star Survivor. She beat the All-Stars, she was the best of the best, and by definition that means she is now the single best player in the history of Survivor. Isn't that depressing? Little Lamber is officially the best player in the history of Survivor. And it's true. Oh my godddddd. It's soooooooo true." |
| 74 | * DiabolusExMachina: Subverted. The tribe switch should have been this for her, but Boston Rob told Lex was going to take care of him if he saved her. Amber built off of this to make the infamous deal that saved herself. |
| 75 | * FanservicePack[=/=]HotterAndSexier: Amber became very beautiful this time around. She even won "Hottest Female Castaway" in ''America's Tribal Council''. |
| 76 | * {{Irony}}: Compared to everyone else, Amber is easily the least memorable contestant before this season started. In spite of this, she won the game. |
| 77 | * LawOfChromaticSuperiority: She was a part of the red Chapera tribe through all three of its iterations. Notable that by some impossible coincidence, she was the ''only'' one who didn't switch tribes when literally ''everyone else'' did. |
| 78 | * MsFanservice |
| 79 | * MyGreatestSecondChance: The URExample. She was the first person ever to win Survivor on their second attempt. And to this day, Amber has argubaly won Survivor bigger than anyone else, leaving with a million dollars, a car (technically two), a husband, another one hundred thousand dollars curtesy of said husband's final placement, and ''another million'' down the road thanks to her husband winning a season himself. |
| 80 | * NiceGirl: In contrast to...well, [[DeadpanSnarker everyone]], Amber was pretty much the nicest castaway this season. Mario Lanza even points out in his ''Survivor Historian Podcast'' that in all of Amber's confessionals, she never slams someone or gets snippy like the other contestants, which could in fact be foreshadowing or a hint that she would be the SoleSurvivor. |
| 81 | * OfficialCouple: With Boston Rob. |
| 82 | * PinkMeansFeminine: Amber usually wore pink clothing. |
| 83 | * TheQuietOne: Her ability to fly under the radar and avoid blowing up at others helped to keep the target off her back in the early stages of the game. Shii Ann was one of the few to pick up on this and noted how she was being underrated by the other players as a potential threat because of it. |
| 84 | * SoleSurvivor: The winner of ''Survivor: All Stars''. |
| 85 | * SpotlightStealingSquad: Because of her relationship with Boston Rob. |
| 86 | * UnexpectedCharacter: See Irony and Dark Horse Victory. |
| 87 | * WhatBeautifulEyes: Shii Ann stated this about her green eyes. |

| 91 | [[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/s8_rob_mariano.jpg]] |
| 92 | ->'''Age/ home/ season:''' 27/ Canton, Massachussets/ 4. ''Marquesas'' |
| 93 | ->'''Tribe:''' Chapera -> Mogo Mogo -> Chapoga Mogo |
| 94 | |
| 95 | After All-Stars, Rob competed with Amber on ''Characters/TheAmazingRace7'' and [[Characters/TheAmazingRaceAllStars2007 The First The Amazing Race All-Stars]]. Rob later competed on [[Characters/SurvivorHeroesVsVillains ''Heroes vs. Villains'']] and [[Characters/SurvivorRedemptionIsland ''Redemption Island'']] |
| 96 | ---- |
| 97 | * TheAce: He won four out of the seven individual immunity challenges during the merge, two rewards, and was basically the one who carried Chapera in challenges during the pre-merge. Plus he used his construction experience to help build the best shelter of all three tribes. |
| 98 | * AffablyEvil |
| 99 | * AntiHero |
| 100 | * BittersweetEnding: He lost the game, but won a wife. Plus, it was his reputation from this appearance that let him compete twice more. |
| 101 | * BoisterousBruiser |
| 102 | * BreakoutCharacter: While he was already this in ''[[Characters/SurvivorMarquesas Marquesas]]'', his performance this season is what elevated him to a Survivor legend. |
| 103 | * TheChessmaster |
| 104 | * ChronicBackstabbingDisorder: Just ask [[LaserGuidedKarma Lex]], Alicia, "Big" Tom, and Rob Cesternino. |
| 105 | * DeadpanSnarker |
| 106 | * TheDon: Boston Rob is the prototype of the Survivor ''Mafioso'' archetype (later Russell Hantz, Tony Vlachos, Rodney La Voie, Joe Mena, Domenick Abbate and Wardog would follow). He is presented as the big mob boss this season. After he says he's going to vote out Lex, Kathy says, "That was a total godfather move." |
| 107 | * EvenEvilHasStandards: He maybe a manipulative player and an abrasive person, but that doesn't mean he lacks moral fibers. People have gotten too cruel for him at least twice: |
| 108 | ** He got annoyed with Jeff Probst when he assumed Jenna Morasca was only quitting because she couldn't handle the elements. |
| 109 | ** He was openly disgusted with Richard rubbing up against Sue during the redesigned "Attack Zone" challenge. |
| 110 | %% EvilGenius |
| 111 | * FromNobodyToNightmare: Rob had one of the two least impressive resumes going into the game (the other being Shii Ann; both were eliminated before the jury stage in their previous seasons), and he ends up dominating almost everyone. |
| 112 | * GracefulLoser: Given that he married the winner, he probably didn't care that he lost anyway. |
| 113 | * HardWorkHardlyWorks: As stated before, he was the one who controlled the game. However, in his wake, he left three very angry people who voted against him at final tribal council. |
| 114 | * HonorBeforeReason: Boston Rob didn't believe that he could win against Amber or Jenna and took Amber to the final two to honor his alliance with her. |
| 115 | * IconicOutfit: His New England Patriots cap, his black sleeveless shirt, and the medallion that he always wears around his neck. |
| 116 | * ILied: To anyone he made an alliance with and then back-stabbed. Most stinging example of this definitely goes to Lex. |
| 117 | * {{Jerkass}}: In addition to his ruthless gameplay, Rob regularly insults just about everybody on the island for no reason both to their faces and behind their backs. Comes back to bite him in the ass when he gets to the end and faces a slew of angry jurors. |
| 118 | * JerkWithAHeartOfJerk |
| 119 | * ​LonelyAtTheTop: Played with. Rob came in second, not first, and he and Amber do end up together, but there’s no denying that his determination to become the SoleSurvivor regardless of who he has to screw over led to some permanently burned bridges. |
| 120 | * LoveMakesYouEvil: Kathy [[HorribleJudgeOfCharacter accused]] him of this. |
| 121 | * ManipulativeBastard: Possibly reaching levels of the MagnificentBastard. Rob shows casual disregard for the rules, such as when he wanted to break open the box full of rice, even though he was told that he had to wait until his tribe found all the keys first. He even insults Jeff by calling him a "pretty boy". On the other hand, his willingness to not stick to tried-and-true strategy is what helped him get to final two, and is a trademark of whatever show he goes on. |
| 122 | * MrFanservice: Amber took notice in the shelter building challenge. |
| 123 | * MyGodWhatHaveIDone: Not until the very, ''very'' end. See TearsOfRemorse down below. |
| 124 | * MyGreatestSecondChance: Doesn't win, but this season is regarded as Boston Rob's absolute best. Yes, even compared to ''[[Characters/SurvivorRedemptionIsland Redemption Island]]'', which he won. |
| 125 | * NothingPersonal: Breaking his deal with Lex, who took it [[ItsPersonal quite the opposite]]. |
| 126 | * OfficialCouple: With Amber. |
| 127 | * [[OneSteveLimit One Rob Limit]]: Deals with this once again, this time with Rob Cesternino. |
| 128 | * OnlyKnownByTheirNickname: Boston Rob |
| 129 | * PoorCommunicationKills: At Final Tribal Council, Rob did a poor job of answering the jury's questions. This was especially true with Alicia, who asked him to repeat his answer, and Big Tom, who he accused of plotting against him. |
| 130 | * TheRival: To Ethan as the two are some of the biggest physical threats. The two square off in multiple challenges and Boston Rob repeatedly teases Ethan throughout the season. Much of these was due in part to the fact that Boston Rob had feelings for Amber while Ethan was Amber's amicable ex-boyfriend. |
| 131 | ** In pure DramaticIrony though, the two would become best friends thirty-two seasons later |
| 132 | * TheRunnerUpTakesItAll: Rob did marry Amber. Additionally, his performance this season cemented his status as one of the show's key [[BreakoutCharacter Breakout Characters]] and directly contributed to him coming back to play several times afterwards. |
| 133 | * SelfProclaimedLiar |
| 134 | * SleevesAreForWimps |
| 135 | * SmugSnake |
| 136 | * SpotlightStealingSquad: This season, Boston Rob gave the cameras a ''lot'' more to work with, and it shows; he and Amber are, without a doubt, the stars of this season. |
| 137 | * TallDarkAndHandsome |
| 138 | * TallDarkAndSnarky |
| 139 | * TearsOfRemorse: It's only at the very end in the final tribal council did Rob finally show some remorse for all his backstabbing and lies. Particularly, when Lex and Kathy speak to him, with Kathy commenting he was like a son to her, did he start to tear up, before actually crying during his final speech to the jury. |
| 140 | * TookALevelInBadass: And ''how''. |
| 141 | * TookALevelInJerkass: His game showed no regard for anyone else, aside from Amber. |
| 142 | * UngratefulBastard: Towards Lex. |
| 143 | * WackyMarriageProposal: He proposed to her at the reunion before the votes were read. |
| 144 | * YouHaveOutlivedYourUsefulness: To everyone but Amber. |

| 167 | * TheResenter: Again, towards previous winners. |
| 168 | --> '''Jenna:''' "It's our game now. Get off our playing field." |
| 169 | * RuleOfThree: Jenna placed 3rd, received votes at three tribal councils, and been on all three starting tribes. She was also one of three jurors to vote for Boston Rob to win. |
| 170 | * SpannerInTheWorks: Defied. Because Boston Rob was the only person she had a prayer of beating at final tribal council, she attempted to be this when she voted out Rupert instead of forcing a purple rock, risking the elimination of both her and Rob. Sadly, she then wasn't able to outlast either Rob or Amber at the final immunity challenge and was sent home in third place. |
| 171 | * TookALevelInJerkass: Returns to the game very, very bitter, mainly because she had to compete against people who already won the million, while she had two kids to feed. |

| 229 | * AscendedFangirl: Actually uses the term "Pagonged" on-camera to describe what happened to Mogo Mogo, and early on showed reluctance to vote out Richard Hatch "because he's the king" and it would be no fun to get rid of him early. |
| 230 | * {{Foreshadowing}}: In her Final words, she warns the others about Amber and how she slips through the cracks. |
| 231 | * GracefulLoser: One of the ''only'' ones on the jury. |
| 232 | * LastOfHerKind: The last Mogo Mogo left. |
| 233 | * MyGreatestSecondChance: Doesn't win, but has a much stronger season than she did on Thailand, and even gets a car out of the whole thing. She also placed the highest of all the original Mogo-Mogo members, all of whom finished in the top three in their original seasons, including two ''past winners''. |
| 234 | * OnlyKnownByTheirNickname: Subverted. Only she ever refers to herself by her nickname ("[[IncrediblyLamePun Shii-Devil]]"). |
| 235 | * PluckyGirl |
| 236 | * QuestionableCasting: In-universe. Mark Burnett once called her "the worst casting mistake of all time" for All-Stars. This is acknowledged when she's referred to in the F7 Reward challenge as "the least deserving to be an All-Star". However, a [[https://www.reddit.com/r/survivor/comments/dvizc1/shii_ann_huang_ama/f7d7pe1/ Reddit AMA]] revealed that she would later be given the opportunity to compete on Heroes Vs Villains and Blood Vs Water. |
| 237 | * TheRuntAtTheEnd: Shii Ann was the only castaway from [[Characters/SurvivorThailand Thailand]] |
| 238 | * SurroundedByIdiots: She becomes furious when she discovers that no one left is remotely interested in recruiting her for a ShockingElimination. |
| 239 | * SpannerInTheWorks: Examining what happens next, it seems she was ''very'' close to becoming this. Had she beat out Tom in the final 6 immunity challenge (everyone else was disqualified), she wins immunity and potentially takes out Amber at the final 5 when she's a potential swing vote. |
| 240 | * TagalongKid: To the Mogo Mogos. Ironically, she's the one who survives the longest. |
| 241 | * TakeThat: Literally screamed this to the old Chapera tribe after her immunity win. She also called the remaining seven Chaboga Mogos stupid people and stupid players for ignoring her. |
| 242 | * ThanatosGambit: Knowing she was on her way out at her last Tribal Council, she decided to try and stir things up a bit by declaring that her vote would be going to the player she thought was playing the strongest and would win the million if no one did anything about them. [[CassandraTruth It went to Amber.]] |
| 243 | * TokenMinority: She was the first Asian castaway on the show, and one of two overall this season. |
| 244 | * TheUnfavorite: The woman is treated like dirt the moment she's the only member of Mogo-Mogo left after the merge; while past seasons have had the dominant tribe at least pretend to put up with the tribe that would be gone soon, it's obvious to Shii-Ann that she is absolutely not welcome, which makes her immunity win all the more satisfying (although even after she wins, they still don't even speak to her and act as though celebrating that she's won immunity is a bad thing and treat her as such.) |

| 273 | * TheCassandra: Sees exactly how the Chapera alliance is going to play out once she and Shii-Ann were gone and tries to get the people who were inevitably going to get voted out to do something about it. They didn't. |
| 274 | * CrazyPrepared: Before All Stars started, Kathy went to a psychologist to have them analyze some of the personality profiles of people she thought might be picked for this season in order to determine which players would be easiest to manipulate, hardest to trust, best to form an alliance with, etc. |
| 275 | * CoolOldLady |
| 276 | * {{Determinator}}: How she won the first individual immunity challenge. |
| 277 | * GracefulLoser: ZigZagged. She did vote for Boston Rob, who hurt her more. However, she liked him and disliked Amber for building on that final 6 deal Boston Rob offered to Lex. Or maybe she just preferred Rob because she liked him to begin with. |
| 278 | * {{Irony}}: In her last voting confessional before being voted out, Kathy said that Amber had no chance of winning without changing her her game. Guess who won? |

| 300 | ** And later when he claimed that the necklace scene (see OhCrap below) was manipulative editing. One can use one's eyes to see that it isn't, as Big Tom's shadow is visible getting up to vote. [[https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/screen_shot_2020_04_28_at_30257_am.png (See here)]] |
| 301 | %% EvilGenius |
| 302 | * ExpositoryHairStyleChange: Shaved his hair into a Mowhawk once he became part of the jury. |
| 303 | * HisStoryRepeatsItself: As he did in ''Africa'', Lex puts himself in a precarious position at the merge by voting out a member of his own tribe when he has the opposition dead to rights. And as in ''Africa'', this decision puts him in hot water at the Final Nine. Unlike in ''Africa'', he is unable to get out from under it. |
| 304 | * {{Hypocrite}}: His statement to Rob during the final tribal council. Even before that, there was his remark as he cast the fatal vote for Colby: |
| 305 | -->You and I both know that this game has ''nothing'' to do with friendship. |
| 306 | * IronicEcho: Lex told Ethan that he was being voted out to save Jerri. Unsurprisingly, Ethan didn't take it well. Lex claimed it wasn't fun for him, either, and that it was NothingPersonal. He later did the same with Jerri, and she [[CassandraTruth told him the consequences of doing so.]] Boston Rob did the same to him soon after. Needless to say, Lex was ''PISSED.'' |
| 307 | * ItSeemedLikeAGoodIdeaAtTheTime: Keeping Amber over Jerri And suffice it to say, it wasn't. |
| 308 | * ItsAllAboutMe: Lex’s gameplay is incredibly entitled and suggests that he thinks 'friendship' means the other person should happily do whatever is necessary for ''him'' to win the money - no matter the cost to themselves, their other relationships, or their integrity. He expects Ethan to be voted out gracefully when he’s no longer useful, for Jerri to take one for the team when a potentially better offer comes along, and for Boston Rob to take him with him to the end, regardless of his existing alliances. It’s not hard to assume that literally any situation where Lex didn’t end up in the final two would have resulted in [[TheResenter the same oppugnant behavior from him at the final jury and during the reunion.]] |
| 309 | * ItsPersonal: This best sums up why he's angry with Rob for breaking their deal. |
| 310 | * JerkJustifications: See NeverMyFault. |
| 311 | * [[KarmicDeath Karmic Elimination]]: Lex had screwed three friends and allies. Once the tribes merged, Lex was immediately voted out by someone he considered a friend. |

| 313 | * ManipulativeBastard |
| 314 | * MoralMyopia: It was okay for him to lie, cheat, and exploit friends, but if someone else did it to ''him'', that person must pay. |
| 315 | * NeverMyFault: His elaborate explanations for why he can do the things he does (i.e. backstabbing Colby, Ethan, and Jerri), but crucifying Boston Rob for doing the same thing, come across as this. |
| 316 | ** Arguably, also the reason he's so angry at Boston Rob in the first place - instead of looking at himself and saying [[DidntThinkThisThrough "Wow, I made a really dumb choice by voting out my own ally over my friend's girlfriend,"]] Lex heaps all the responsibility onto Rob[[note]]and later Kathy, who Lex claimed in post-game interviews was actually the one who wanted to keep Amber over Jerri[[/note]] when it [[CassandraTruth predictably bites him in the ass]]. |
| 317 | * NothingPersonal: When voting out Colby, Ethan, and Jerri. |
| 318 | * OhCrap: Lex has an ''EPIC'' OhCrap face after Kathy refuses to give him her immunity necklace. The scene was actually just ManipulativeEditing, because Lex said post-show they he didn't really want the necklace, but the transition from Kathy saying "Nope, I'm keeping it" to Lex's look of utter terror was just too priceless. |
| 319 | ** It may not just be editing... if one takes a close look at the scene one can see signs that it wasn't, including Big Tom's shadow as he gets up to vote being visible on Lex's OhCrap face. |

| 348 | * GracefulLoser: Even though she pleaded with Lex to keep her in the game, Jerri had no hard feelings when she was voted out. She simply smiled, hugged Amber, hugged and kissed Lex, and told the others it had been an honor playing with them. |
| 349 | * ItHasBeenAnHonor: Said this after being voted out. |
| 350 | * HypocriticalHumor: Jerri and Shii Ann consider each other to be incompetent and lazy. Colby thinks they're just as bad as each other, and is happy to sit back and watch them argue as long as it keeps them focused on each other and not him. It doesn't keep him safe for long, though. |
| 351 | * JerkAssHasAPoint: During her argument with Rupert in Episode 3, she points out that his underground shelter is a horrible idea because one rainstorm is enough to destroy it and make life miserable. While Jerri wasn't the nicest person, she was proven right. |
| 352 | * MsFanservice: Lampshaded by Ethan in his first confessional. |
| 353 | * MyGreatestSecondChance: Subverted. In ''Australian Outback'', she was the second person voted onto the jury whereas here, she was the last person eliminated before the merge (and last person not to make the jury). However, she did achieve one of her goals in the game by screwing Colby over. |
| 354 | ** Further played with in that, while she finished 8th in ''Australian Outback'' and 10th here, the fact that there were 18 contestants this season instead of 16 meant that she was the 9th person eliminated both times. |

| 372 | * CharacterDevelopment: In Africa Ethan was able to win mainly by being nice and forming strong bonds but in All Stars he had to play on the defensive the minute he set foot on the beach, which lead to him getting noticably more cynical with each episode. This development ended up making Ethan one of the '''only''' castaways to walk away from All Stars with a better reputation than before. |
| 373 | * DeadpanSnarker: A contrast to his ''[[Characters/SurvivorAfrica Africa]]'' self. The DVDCommentary {{Lampshades}} it by calling him "Ethan 2.0" whenever he makes a snarky remark. |
| 374 | * {{Determinator}}: The guy is determined to keep on going, in spite of being a winner in a season where the theme was, basically, "the winners go first". |
| 375 | * GoodIsNotSoft: Despite being known as the first nice winner, Ethan willingly sows conflict in his tribe by going along with Rupert's shelter building idea (stating in confessionals that he knows it's horrible and wholly agrees with Jerri) so that everyone will be too mad at each other to target the guy who's already won. |
| 376 | * GracefulLoser: In his final episode, Ethan expresses great frustration with his tribe for prioritizing Jerri above him, with particular ire for Lex due to the latter electing to send him home before Jerri and keeping him out of the loop regarding Colby's blindside. He spends his last day at camp vigorously making a case that Jerri doesn't deserve to make it further into the game than any of them, to no avail. Despite this, upon being voted out, he kisses both Kathy and Jerri on their heads and hugs Lex before bringing his torch to Jeff, ultimately wishing everyone well before walking out. |
