36->'''Tribe:''' Nakúm -> Yaxhá -> Xhakúm
37----
38* AloofDarkHairedGirl
39* AscendedFangirl: To Gary Hogeboom.
40* DarkHorseVictory: Seemed to have no shot post-merge and yet managed to claw her way to the final two.
41* {{Foil}}: To Stephenie
42* {{Guile Hero}}ine: Managed to claw her way into the finals by taking every advantage given to her in the game, including going into the merge with three stronger guys, which would ensure she would be the last of her alliance standing, planting the seeds that led to Jaime's ouster over Gary, getting rid of Stephenie's ideal finals partner in Judd, and letting Rafe and Stephenie eat away at their own alliance until before anyone noticed, she was sitting in the finals against a former player who nobody wanted to vote for.
43* LastOfHerKind: Danni was the sole survivor of her alliance at the final 6. The rest of the post-swap Yaxha was pagonged at the start of the merge.
44* MaleGaze: A few shots in challenges seem focused on her rear.
45* MsFanservice: She was cast for the ''Beauty Queen'' archetypical role. She was crowned Miss Kansas in 1996 and then represented Kansas in the Miss USA pageant.
46* NiceGirl: Was mostly kind to everyone, which worked to her advantage in a tribe with many heated personalities.
47* OutOfFocus: Possibly the most out of focus winner since [[Characters/SurvivorMarquesas Vecepia]]. It is known that Danni tried to {{Invoke}} this to some extent, as she noticed the confessional questions she was receiving seemed to hint at the other player's strategies, and so she did her best to be as quiet as possible around production.
48* PluckyGirl: Overcame being in the minority alliance and being targeted multiple times to win the game.
49* ReligiousBruiser: Leads Yaxha in prayer at one point, and during Final Tribal, she mentions that she asks for forgiveness every day.
50* SoleSurvivor: The eleventh one of the series.
51* StatuesqueStunner: The tallest woman of the season.

60Stephenie would return for a third time on [[Characters/SurvivorHeroesVsVillains Heroes Vs. Villains]]
61----
62* AccentuateTheNegative: It only takes a couple of challenge losses for Stephenie to start comparing her tribe to [[Characters/SurvivorPalau Ulong]], which is a fairly harsh comparison seeing as that was the [[CurbStompBattle single least successful tribe in Survivor history]].
63* AloofDarkHairedGirl: Her hair was notably dyed darker here.
64* BigEater: The one thing that everybody seemed to agree on, whether they were on her side or not, is that Stephanie never, ever stopped eating.
65* ChronicBackstabbingDisorder: Had ''no'' set allegiances this time around.
66* TheComplainerIsAlwaysWrong: She often had a negative attitude in the game, something she later confessed to, and it came back to haunt her at the very end.
67* DarkerAndEdgier: Played a much dirtier game than in Palau.
68* ItsAllAboutMe: Got a little self-centered this season.
69* MadeOfIron
70* MsFanservice: Her physique got more attention this time around.
71* MyGreatestSecondChance: Of her three stints on the show, this season has her strongest game and highest ranking.
72* PoorCommunicationKills: Stephenie was already unpopular with the jury, but [[DiggingYourselfDeeper she gave terrible answers to all of their questions]].
73* TheRunnerUpTakesItAll: Subverted. She was already popular from the last season, but got to appear once more from her time here.
74* {{Shorttank}}
75* TookALevelInJerkass: The season definitely wrecks the heroic image of Stephenie it presented in the previous competition.

83->'''Age/home/job:''' 22/ Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania/ wilderness guide
84->'''Tribe:''' Yaxhá -> Nakúm -> Xhakúm
85----
86* AscendedFanboy: One of two superfans of the show this season (the other being Brian) who have watched and studied Survivor since their youth.
87* BadassBookworm
88* HonorBeforeReason: Twice; first by ensuring Danni made the final three and not Lydia because of their agreement to get that far, and then to actually tell her it was okay to not honor their agreement to get to the final two because Stephenie had tried so hard in the final challenge.
89** To be fair, it was established that Stephenie would never win a jury vote and would be taken no matter what, so Rafe releasing Danni from their agreement was really a formality at that rate.
90* NiceGuy: He was always concerned about other people's feelings. When Jamie would try to rub it in post-swap Yaxha's faces when they'd lose, Rafe did not like that. He also released Danni from the promise to go to final two, which was a very Mr. Nice Guy kind of thing to do.
91* TheSmartGuy
92* SmartPeopleWearGlasses
93* StraightGay
94* TooCleverByHalf: Keeping Danni over the nonathletic Lydia to boost his chances of getting to the Final Tribal Council. See Wrong Season Savvy.
95* TookALevelInJerkass: His final two episodes showed him acting like a bit of a brat when he didn't get his way. He spent most of the Reward/Immunity interim complaining about Cindy not giving him the car, and in his elimination statement, he snapped at Danni for breaking their deal even though told her beforehand he wouldn't hold her to it.
96* [[WrongGenreSavvy Wrong Season Savvy]]: The other reason he decided to vote out Lydia at the final four was that older women usually do well in the Final 3 endurance challenge. Unfortunately, this season's was one where Lydia's lack of height would have been a major disadvantage.

103->'''Tribe:''' Yaxhá -> Nakúm -> Xhakúm
104----
105* CoolOldLady: Her singing and dancing were pretty fun.
106* OutOfFocus: Has a couple of moments but mostly just sort of stays off to the sidelines, being kept in the game because she was incapable of winning anything. Though according to Rafe the edit ''really'' didn't do her personality justice.
107* ShoutOut: Does an impression of Keenan Ivory Wayans as Little Richard on Series/InLivingColor at one point.
108* TeamMom: Of Stephenie's alliance.

114->'''Age/home/job:''' 30/ Naples, Florida/ zookeeper
115->'''Tribe:''' Nakúm -> Xhakúm
116----
117* FriendToAllLivingThings: A zookeeper, and she was delighted by the local wildlife, in contrast to the rest of the tribe.
118* [[LaserGuidedKarma Laser Guided]] [[IncrediblyLamePun Carma]]: Wins the car challenge and is given the choice of keeping the car or giving it up and letting the other four get cars instead, in order to ward off the notorious "Car Curse." She decides to keep it, saying she can beat the odds and overcome the curse. [[VotedOffTheIsland Guess what happens next.]]
119* MaleGaze: There’s a shot of her rear in the intro, no less.
120* MsFanservice: See MaleGaze above.
121* RewardedAsATraitorDeserves: Chose to keep her car instead of giving the other four tribemates cars, and this decision alone manages to keep the infamous "Car Curse" alive when the others, who were really unimpressed with this, put her on the wrong side of the voting road.
122* OutOfFocus

130----
131* [[AttentionDeficitOohShiny AAAAY DEEEE... Ooh, Shiny!]]
132* BadLiar: Gary notices he's looking upwards when the guy says the idol is on the ground.
133** The clue he gets basically says "the Idol is in a tree" so he tells the tribe "It is definitely, by far, on the ground".
134** Later at tribal council he says he has never told a lie, when Gary points out he lied about the idol clue he says "okay, so I told one lie."
135* BigBrotherInstinct: Towards Jamie
136* TheBigGuy: To new Nakum in particular.
137* HairTriggerTemper: Can get angry at the drop of a hat.
138* [[EvenEvilHasStandards Even Jerk Asses Have Standards]]: Is upset with Jamie because of his behavior at the merge immunity challenge.
139* FatBastard: By Survivor standards, anyway, where it's very rare for anyone visibly overweight to be there.
140* JerkAss
141* NoIndoorVoice: Judd tends to like to yell a lot.
142* TheReasonYouSuckSpeech: Came the closest of anyone to delivering one at the Final Jury, though it's not an out-and-out one as he was still asking questions at the same time.
143* SoreLoser: "I hope you guys get bit by a freaking crocodile. Scumbags"
144* VerbalTic: He tends to say "damn" and "man" a lot.

151->'''Tribe:''' Yaxhá -> Xhakúm
152----
153* CelebrityContestant: Among the earliest examples.
154* CoolOldGuy: The oldest person on Yaxha and the first person to find the hidden immunity idol.
155* PaperThinDisguise: An ex-NFL quarterback pretends to just be an ordinary landscaper in a game where another player (the eventual winner, by the way) is a sports reporter- HilarityEnsues. Amazingly, though, he doesn't really get stigmatized for that.
156* RetiredBadass: Former NFL Quarterback.
157* TeamDad: For Yaxhá

166* BoisterousBruiser
167* HairTriggerTemper
168* JerkWithAHeartOfGold
169* LargeHam: By proxy of imitating Bobby Jon.
170* OddFriendship: With [[AttentionDeficitOohShiny Judd]], [[DeadpanSnarker Brian]] and [[CoolOldLady Lydia]]. And, once on the jury with him, Bobby Jon.
171* ProperlyParanoid: Subverted; his paranoia that he's going to get blindsided early wears on everyone so much that they [[SelfFulfillingProphecy fulfill his prophecy for him]].
172* TheRival: To Bobby Jon. Especially during his [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6Lr9eV_VmHc screaming match]] with Bobby Jon.
173%%* SanitySlippage: Rafe acknowledges in Jamie's boot episode that it's the reason he's leaving.
174* TallDarkAndHandsome
175* WildCard: Jamie was the first recurrence of the ''Wacky Wildcard'' Survivor archetype (of which Robb Zbacnik was the prototype). In Jamie's pre-season video, he said he was so crazy, he'd wrestle a crocodile without a second thought. On the show Jamie was portrayed as a loose cannon, especially in the merge episode when he'd taunt the post-swap Yaxha castaways during the immunity challenge, which disturbed even his own allies.

184* {{Determinator}}
185* MrFanservice: Bobby Jon's a model, you know.
186* MyGreatestSecondChance: Barely. He placed tenth in ''[[Characters/SurvivorPalau Palau]]'', and came back ninth in ''Guatemala''; but it was at least enough for him to make the jury this time.
187* OddFriendship: While he and Jamie spent a decent amount of time [[TheRival as rivals]], once they were voted off back-to-back they appeared to get along with each other very well in the jury.
188* TheRival: To Jamie.

200* AlliterativeName
201* FarmBoy
202* {{Foil}}: Becomes this to Jamie during his boot episode.
203* GoodOlBoy: Brandon's casting archetype is this. His pre-season bio video was all about his country background in Kansas. Some other men who were cast for the same ''Good Old Boy'' character trope in other seasons are Rodger Bingham, Big Tom Buchanan, Travis 'Bubba' Sampson, James Clement, Boo Bernis, Chicken Morris, J.T. Thomas, Ralph Kaiser, Rick Nelson, Jeff Kent, Caleb Bankston, Jeremiah Wood, Keith Nale, Mike Holloway, Caleb Bankston, Ben Driebergen and Carl Boudreaux.
204* NiceGuy: One of if not the nicest in the cast
205* ThePratfall: At the beginning of the 11-mile hike.

216* {{Determinator}}: See below.
217* OfficerOhara: She's a police seargant from Boston and her name actually is O'Hara.
218* HandicappedBadass: Screwed up her ankle relatively early in the season. In spite of it, she kept going, actually was a force in challenges, and lasted much longer than one might expect.

228* AscendedFanboy: One of two superfans of the show this season (the other being Rafe) who have watched and studied Survivor since their youth. It can get to the point of JustForFun/OneOfUs.
229* BadassBoast: (When voting for Blake) "You may be the golden boy, but I'm platinum."
230** at his ShockingElimination- "This is the Outwit part in Outwit, Outplay, Outlast"
231* DeadpanSnarker
232* GracefulLoser
233* MistakenForGay: Let's just say just that a lot of viewers thought he was gay, but he never confirmed so one way or the other.

244* ChekhovsSkill: Being a nurse came in handy after the first challenge: an 11-mile hike to camp.
245* CoolOldLady
246* DeadpanSnarker: Especially where Judd is concerned. Once he starts ranting, she starts riffing like nobody's business.
247* DiabolusExMachina: The tribe switch and Judd's flipping.
248* TeamMom: She took care of her tribe in episode 1 after the long hike and called out Judd for being a "bad sport" later on.

256----
257* HaveIMentionedIAmSexuallyActiveToday: He loved talking about both his girlfriend and his past relationships. This ended up being his downfall, as Brian came up with the "Bait Blake" strategy of encouraging Blake to constantly talk about his hookups as a way of getting the rest of his alliance to get annoyed with him and vote him out, which worked!
258* MrFanservice
259* OnlyKnownByTheirNickname: "Golden Boy"
260* UpperClassTwit: He's hinted by the editing as being one.

290* AlliterativeName: Her full name is Morgan Malloy [=McDevitt=]
291* TheIngenue: Morgan was probably a recurrence of the Survivor ''Ingénue'' casting archetype (Colleen Haskell being the prototype). In the ''Survivor: Guatemala - TV Guide Preview'', Morgan said, "I think the fact that I'm only 21, I'm the baby. The fact that I'm not set in my ways and am very open-minded, very optimistic, I think that all of those things will help."
292* LovelyAssistant: Morgan was a magician's assistant when she played Survivor and is still to this day the only person with that listed occupation.
