3!The Tribes
4
5[[folder:Maraamu]]
6->'''Color/ namesake:''' yellow/ Tahitian for "southern wind/ ''Australis''"
7->'''Members (start):''' Gina Crews, Hunter Ellis, Patricia Jackson, Peter Harkey, Rob Mariano, Sarah Jones, Sean Rector, Vecepia Towery
8->'''Members (swap):''' Gina Crews, '''Kathy Vavrick-O'Brien''', '''Neleh Dennis''', '''Paschal English''', Sarah Jones
9----
10* DividedWeFall: Because there were separate alliances in Maraamu, there was very little harmony inside the tribe, which led to members being voted out one by one.
11* DwindlingParty: Before we had [[{{Characters/SurvivorPalau}} Ulong]] as our official [[FailureHero Failure Tribe]], we had [[TropeMaker Maraamu]].
12* EpicFail: Before Ulong came around, Maraamu was considered as the worst tribe due to losing all but ''three'' challenges (one of them being their ''only'' immunity challenge), and had three members make it to the merge.
13* HumiliationConga: They only won ONE Immunity challenge. ONE. WITH ONE ORIGINAL MEMBER OF THE TRIBE LEFT!
14* SlobsVersusSnobs: Rob, Sean, Vecepia, Sarah (slobs) vs Hunter, Patricia, and Gina (snobs).
15[[/folder]]
16
17[[folder:Rotu]]
18->'''Color/ namesake:''' cyan/ Tahitian for "rain"
19->'''Members (start):''' Gabriel Cade, John Carroll, Kathy Vavrick-O'Brien, Neleh Dennis, Paschal English, Robert [=DeCanio=], Tammy Leitner, Zoe Zanidakis
20->'''Members (swap):''' Gabriel Cade, John Carroll, Robert [=DeCanio=], '''Rob Mariano''', '''Sean Rector''', Tammy Leitner, '''Vecepia Towery''', Zoe Zanidakis
21----
22* BadassCrew: Before Koror, Rotu was the most dominant tribe to have existed in Survivor.
23* TeamSpirit: At least until [[TheCorrupter Rob, Sean, and Vecepia]] showed up.
24* TrueCompanions
25* WorthyOpponent
26[[/folder]]
27
28[[folder: Soliantu]]
29->'''Color/ namesake:''' bright purple/ word made up by Boston Rob and Kathy to mean "sacred allegiance to the sun"
30->'''Members:''' John Carroll, Kathy Vavrick-O'Brien, Neleh Dennis, Paschal English, Rob Mariano, Rob [=DeCanio=], Sean Rector, Tammy Leitner, Vecepia Towery, Zoe Zanidakis
31* AsLongAsItSoundsForeign: Their name. The "sol" part does mean "sun" in Latin, but the rest is absolutely made-up.

34!Finalists
35
36[[folder:1st. Vecepia "Vee" Towery]]
37[[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/s4_vecepia_towery.jpg]]
38->'''Age/home/job:''' 36/ Hayward, California/ office manager
39->'''Luxury item:''' poetry notebook
40->'''Tribe:''' Maaramu -> Rotu -> Soliantu
41----
42* BreakingOldTrends: When an alliance is down 7-2 they usually lose, same with being down 1-4. Vecepia's survival is incredibly notable for beating these odds alone.
43* ChronicBackstabbingDisorder: Betrayed Kathy at the final three immunity challenge by making a deal with Neleh (right in front of Kathy even!) and letting her take it, which at the time was one of the most underhanded and despised moves the game had ever seen.
44* DarkHorseVictory: The first person to win the game when their tribe entered the merge in the minority.
45* FaceHeelRevolvingDoor: Depends on who the narrator is, but is also accompanied by her constant flips. She was with Hunter's alliance until the rowdy upstarts kicked him off. Then she distanced herself from the underdog Maaramus in the hopes that they'd leave before she did. She teams up with Sean, who becomes the season's hero after John's elimination, before going heel and betraying Kathy during the FTC.
46* [[GuileHero Guile Heroine]]: The very first under the radar winner.
47* {{Hypocrite}}/HolierThanThou: Certainly in the eyes of Tammy.
48* IDidWhatIHadToDo: This was ultimately why she chose to betray Kathy at the final three, as the only person she ''could'' beat was Neleh.
49* ManipulativeBastard: Besides backstabbing alliance members effectively, she also mentioned starting fights between tribe members that she would stay out of to keep pressure on the other players in the game.
50* OlderThanTheyLook: From a line Mario Lanza's writing archives about Survivor's Marquesas,
51---> I think people really forgot Vecepia's age during the season. She was 37. Neleh was 21. A lot of people kind of thought of them as sisters, but are you aware that Vee could realistically be the same age as Neleh's mom? Vee looks amazing for her age.
52* OnlyKnownByTheirNickname: "Vee"
53* OutOfFocus: Played under the radar, ''especially'' when in contrast to early alliance mates [[ManipulativeBastard Rob]] and [[HairTriggerTemper Sean]]. It caused a lot of uproar at the time when a "nobody" or "unknown" won the game over a Final Four including people with much more screen time.
54* TheQuietOne: Especially with Boston Rob and Sean
55* TheQuisling
56* RedOniBlueOni: The Blue to Sean's Red.
57* SoleSurvivor
58* TrueCompanions: With Sean. They were both devoutly religious, both African-American, both had similar upbringings, and both were the only two original Maraamu members to make it to the jury stage. His vote for her was basically guaranteed.
59* WhamLine: At the final immunity challenge
60--->“I'll give you Immunity, I'll drop off, if you take me to the end with you, okay?
61[[/folder]]
62
63[[folder:2nd. Neleh Dennis]]
64[[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/s4_neleh_dennis.jpg]]
65->'''Age/home/job:''' 21/ Layton, Utah/ student
66->'''Luxury item:''' Book of Mormon
67->'''Tribe:''' Rotu -> Maraamu -> Soliantu
68----
69* BitchInSheepsClothing: Basically what Sean accused her of being.
70* DiggingYourselfDeeper: Was completely incapable of answering jury questions at the Final Tribal Council in a way that didn't sound like pandering to the jury, which led to 3/4ths of the Rotu alliance voting for Vecepia (who was fully willing to admit that she played the game and had a strategy from day one).
71** The chewed mint scene, she offers a chewed mint to the other tribemates after a reward trip with Paschal. While her intentions are pure and sweet, it felt insulting and condescending to the other tribemates.
72* GoshDarnItToHeck: "Oh my Heck".
73* {{Hypocrite}}: Basically how her actions came off to the jury, condemning them for lying and forming alliances while doing the same thing.
74* TheIngenue / TheCutie: Fulfills this season's sweetheart role. Neleh belongs to the ''Ingénue'' archetype of which Colleen Haskell was the prototype.
75* InnocentlyInsensitive: Most Notably during the Chew Mint scene.
76* IntergenerationalFriendship: With Paschal in arguably the tightest alliance in Survivor's history.
77* NiceGirl: She was generally this.
78* RewardedAsATraitorDeserves: Flipped on the Rotu 4, lost three of their votes.
79* SmarterThanYouLook: Sean said that there was definitely a strategic mind underneath her sweet and charming exterior.
80* TheOnlyOneITrust: With Paschal.

83!The Jury
84
85[[folder:3rd. Kathleen "Kathy" Varvick-O'Brien]]
86[[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/s4_kathy_vavrick_obrien.jpg]]
87->'''Age/home/job:''' 47/ Burlington, Vermont/ real estate agent
88->'''Luxury item:''' painting kit
89->'''Tribe:''' Rotu --> Maraamu -> Soliantu
90----
91* CharacterDevelopment: Kathy starts this season as being seen by her tribe as "that blonde, bitchy person"(her own words) and ends it by being seen by the jury as the overall best player who ''just'' missed the cut (at winning) after being betrayed by Neleh and Vee.
92* CoolOldLady: One of the best character development arcs on the show, and surprisingly good at endurance challenges.
93* DefeatByModesty: At the final immunity challenge, Neleh tells her that her bra is hanging off and she instinctively covers herself up, losing her balance and the competition.
94* GenkiGirl: She seemed to be the most excited at being there.
95* GracefulLoser: Although she was rather shell-shocked afterwards.
96* IntergenerationalFriendship: With Gabe and Gina.
97* JawDrop: When seeing that Gabe was voted out over Boston Rob and Sean.
98* NeverMessWithGranny: Ended up being the most pivotal player when it came down to just the alliance that formed to get rid of the Rotu alliance. Sean putting words in her mouth at Tribal Council when she was the swing vote sealed his fate, and the knowledge that she wasn't going to be able to break up Paschal and Neleh's alliance led to Pappy's ShockingElimination. She's also won the most individual challenges with four(2 immunities and 2 rewards).
99* PluckyGirl: On the outs of the original Rotu, then a potential candidate for elimination by new Maraamu, then on the outs again after the merge, yet she keeps on trucking.
100* ThePollyanna
101* SheCleansUpNicely: At the Reunion, she looked like a completely different person. Lampshaded by Rosie O'Donnell (the Reunion host), who said she went from looking like "a Unabomber-type person" to "the cover of ''Vogue'' magazine".
102[[/folder]]
103
104[[folder:4th. Paschal English]]
105[[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/s4_paschal_english.jpg]]
106->'''Age/home/job:''' 56/ Thomaston, Georgia/ judge
107->'''Luxury item:''' United States flag
108->'''Tribe:''' Rotu -> Maraamu -> Soliantu
109----
110* CoolOldGuy: Highly respected among his peers. He was still able to win a challenge.
111* DiabolusExMachina: Arguably had the best chance of winning but was screwed by the purple rock.
112* DirtyOldMan: He says that he's in heaven being the lone man among three women. However, his scandals involving younger women may make his relationship with Neleh suspect.
113* FaceHeelTurn: The thirteenth episode had him and Neleh throw Sean and V under the bus for something they didn't even do.
114* FourIsDeath: The fourth placer in this fourth installment, and was eliminated most controversially ever.
115%%* GracefulLoser
116* HonorBeforeReason: Almost threw his chances away when he about to stick with John. And again he doesn't vote out Neleh and he was eliminated by the Purple Rock.
117* {{Hypocrite}}: He wanted Sean and Vecepia to be split up because he assumed that they were so tight that they would never vote against each other. Not only is this a baseless accusation, as V was perfectly alright with placing both Sean and Rob on the chopping block, ''he and Neleh had the same agreement and they explicitly informed the other members about it.''
118* IntergenerationalFriendship: With Gabriel and especially Neleh. The latter to the point that they were inseparable on the show.
119* NoDamageRun: Had zero votes thrown against him throughout the entire game, yet ended up going home fourth.
120* NonGameplayElimination: The first victim of the Purple Rock
121* PatrioticFervor: The American flag was his luxury item and goes on a tangent in one episode about how much he loves his country
122* TheOneGuy: After the tribe switch for Maraamu. He also became the last man standing.
123* RacistGrandpa: When you read between the lines, he definitely comes across as this. While circumstantial, he says that he would have never thought of interacting with Sean. Later on, he assumes both V and Sean are really tight, purely because they're black. Though in the Final Tribal Council he said he would be proud to have Vecepia as his daughter so this is uncertain
124* SouthernGentlemen: Outright stated to be this.
125* TheOnlyOneITrust: to Neleh
126%%* ThePollyanna
127* TeamDad: For everyone.
128[[/folder]]
129
130[[folder:5th. Sean Rector]]
131[[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/s4_sean_rector.jpg]]
132->'''Age/home/job:''' 30/ Los Angeles, California/ Teacher
133->'''Luxury item:''' bible
134->'''Tribe:''' Maraamu -> Rotu -> Soliantu
135----
136* BadassBoast: As he made his vote against John and kicked off the downfall of the Rotu alliance:
137--->"Checkmate, bro. Thought you had me. Tell you any time you go to Vegas, bet on black."
138* BadassTeacher: Not only has he won a teacher of the year award, but he's also one of the biggest challenge threats of the season.
139* BeYourself: Stated this in the 8th episode.
140* CoolTeacher: In RealLife.
141* DragonAscendant: Closely aligned with Boston Rob right up until his elimination, after which he had a big hand in forming the five-person alliance with V, Kathy, Paschal, and Neleh to oust the Rotu 4.
142* EverythingIsRacist: While he does make very valid points about the nature of implicit bias and that it's heavily implied is the reason why Paschal distrusted him and Vecepia, he also uses this for comedy. He pretended to be Reverend Al Sharpton when Hunter said black no-no flies are worse than the white ones.
143* ForgottenFriendNewFoe: Subverted, there was a false rumor that he and Gabriel met knew each other before the show started.
144** The rumor was fueled when Gabriel was confirmed to have worked as a bartender at a tapas bar in West Hollywood (which, coincidentally, was owned by [[Characters/BigBrother2 Mike "Boogie"]] ), and Sean just happened to be photographed with some friends at that very tapas bar.
145* {{Gasshole}}: At the beginning of episode 8.
146* HairTriggerTemper: His Achilles heel, and one of the main reasons he was voted off over Vecepia.
147* HeroicBuild: Rosie O' Donnell points this out in the reunion show.
148* LargeHam
149* LazyBum: In the first few episodes, but this could generally be argued as societal perceptions of black men at the time coloring the lenses of his tribemates. Maraamu, prior to the merge, is seen as really chill compared to the worker bee Rotu members. By comparison, both Rob and Sean appeared to be this.
150* PlayingTheVictimCard: Throughout the penultimate episode, he accused Paschal, Neleh, and Kathy of racism for thinking he and Vecepia were in an alliance on the basis they were both black. Even though, they had been on the same tribe from the start (during the time in the game where alliances were usually along tribal lines), frequently voted together, and spent more time with each other than with any other castaway.
151* PluckyComicRelief: Filled this role from time to time, particularly with The Morning Show in the first few episodes. He even did a [[Film/AustinPowers Dr. Evil]] impression during his final Tribal Council vote.
152* RedOniBlueOni: The Red to Vecepia's Blue.
153* ReligiousBruiser: Sean was a devout Christian and as well as a decent challenge competitor, the first words from his mouth after winning the car challenge.
154* SmarterThanYouLook: He was awarded for his skills as a teacher. Not only that, but he is also incredibly socially aware and is the first Survivor to bring up the notion of implicit bias as a possible disadvantage.
155* TitleDrop: In episode 11, The Princess while describing Neleh.
156* TrueCompanions: With Vecepia. He even became a godfather to Vecepia's son after the show.
157* WhamLine: In the Eighth Episode of the season during the first 3 strikes challenge, pretty much signalling that the Rotu 4 can become unstoppable.
158---> Sean: “This is the order, how it’s gonna go?”
159[[/folder]]
160
161[[folder:6th. Robert "The General" [=DeCanio=]]]
162[[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/s4_robert_decanio.jpg]]
163->'''Age/home/job:''' 38/ College Point, New York/ limousine driver
164->'''Luxury item:''' Voodoo doll
165->'''Tribe:''' Rotu -> Soliantu
166----
167* BadLiar: After John's demise, he attempts to distance himself from the group by saying that he never gave his word and that he was going through the motions. Aside from the fact that the new five alliance doesn't buy it, the ''audience'' knows for a fact that what he's saying is not true.
168* TheBigGuy: To the Rotu alliance.
169* CoolShades
170* LastOfHisKind: Ends up being the longest-lasting member of the Rotu 4 Alliance, as John was targeted first due to being the group's leader, Zoe was next as a clear threat [[RewardedAsATraitorDeserves for her shiftiness]] and relative challenge strength, and Tammy was taken out because she was the only viable candidate left when Robert won individual immunity for himself.
171* MadeOfIron: Robert cut his toe with John had to cut the injured pieces of. Despite the pain, Robert said you had to deal with it. It's pretty much a non-issue after the episode it was introduced.
172* NonIndicativeName: "The General" refers to one of his tattoos, which you can see on his right shoulder in his photo. He was never involved with any military, nor was he an attorney general or surgeon general.
173* OneSteveLimit: With Boston Rob.
174** InSeriesNickname: The General, which is how the two Robs are differentiated. They also use "New York Rob" on occasion.
175* RealMenWearPink: Subverted. It turns out that Robert hated the fuchsia merge buffs that everyone had to wear.
176[[/folder]]
177
178[[folder:7th. Tamara "Tammy" Leitner]]
179[[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/s4_tammy_leitner.jpg]]
180->'''Age/home/job:''' 29/ Mesa, Arizona/ crime reporter
181->'''Luxury item:''' picture of spouse and pet dog
182->'''Tribe:''' Rotu -> Soliantu
183----
184* ActionGirl: She won two consecutive immunity challenges.
185* BrainyBrunette
186* {{Determinator}}: Tammy stated she isn't giving up unless her name is called out at tribal council. The Rotu 4 down to the Rotu 2, she was fighting a losing battle and kept on fighting.
187* IceQueen
188* TheLancer: Of the Rotu alliance. She was often referred to as a "pitbull" because of this.
189* TheReasonYouSuckSpeech: Just like [[Characters/SurvivorBorneo Susan]] and [[Characters/SurvivorAfrica Kelly Goldsmith]] she opts to rant about everything she hates about the final two. Lampshaded during the reunion show by Rosie O'Donnell, who remarked that she was giving Tammy the "Sue Hawk Award".
190[[/folder]]
191
192[[folder:8th. Zoe Zanidakis]]
193[[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/s4_zoe_zanidakis.jpg]]
194->'''Age/home/job:''' 35/ Monhegan Island, Maine/ fishing boat captain
195->'''Luxury item:''' necklace
196->'''Tribe:''' Rotu -> Soliantu
197----
198* AlliterativeName
199* BackstabBackfire: Attempted to ditch the Rotu alliance once John was voted out, and claimed she was never loyal to them. She still got voted out next.
200* BadLiar: A few times after the switch. One example is when Kathy asks her if she's going to vote Kathy out, Zoe pauses for over ten seconds. Then she says no. Oops.
201* TheBigGirl: Or as Rob says, "the toughest guy on the tribe."
202* BitchInSheepsClothing: After John's elimination, Zoe declared she never liked Tammy.
203* GracefulLoser: The only member of the Rotu alliance willing to admit that Neleh could beat her. As a result, she's also the only member to vote for Neleh to win.
204* OutOfFocus: Zoe was the first person to make the merge and be voted out with less than ten confessionals.
205* ProfessionalButtKisser: Made jewelry to get in good with the new majority.
206* TheQuisling: In Episode 8 she betrays the Rotu 4 by voting for John, seemingly for no good reason.
207* ShoutOut: She references Kon-Tiki(the famous raft used to demonstrate that indigenous people from South America may have settled in Polynesia at one point) in one episode.
208* TomboyishPonytail: How she often wore her hair.
209[[/folder]]
210
211[[folder:9th. John Carroll]]
212[[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/s4_john_carroll_4.jpg]]
213->'''Age/home/job:''' 36/ Omaha, Nebraska/ nurse
214->'''Luxury item:''' massage oils bottle
215->'''Tribe:''' Rotu -> Soliantu
216----
217* AscendedFanboy: He applied three times to get casted(ever since [[Characters/SurvivorBorneo Season ''One'']]), and this is the lucky time he made it on.
218* BigBadWannabe: Establishes a pecking order based on what he believed to be the blind allegiance of the original Rotu members, who severely outnumbered Sean and Vecepia once the merge hit.
219* DrunkWithPower: What happens after the Gabriel blindside.
220* EvilCannotComprehendGood: He found it so hard to believe that Gabriel genuinely wasn't interested in cutthroat strategy that it put him into a paranoid spiral that culminated in voting Gabriel out.
221* FatalFlaw: Pride. His overconfidence that everybody is willing to bow down to him to the point of outright gloating is what convinces Paschal and Neleh to flip.
222* {{Fingore}}: Happened twice in episode 3. A gets stabbed by a sea urchin the first time, then his finger tip gets split in half by an eel. The first one leads to the infamous peeing scene.
223* HoistByHisOwnPetard: Attempted to be the mastermind behind an alliance that would take him to the end, and had some early success (most notably getting rid of Boston Rob immediately after the merge). He then got cocky about it and paid the price immediately, as everyone not in his alliance formed a counter-alliance against him.
224* KickTheDog: Voting out Gabriel under a baseless assumption that he would align with the new Rotu members after the swap.
225* ManlyGay: You'd never know if we didn't say it.
226* TheMedic: Being the a nurse, they come to him when The General peels off a large portion of his toe.
227* OutOfFocus: Until the fourth episode, odds are you only knew him as the male nurse on Rotu that once got peed on by Kathy. After Gabe's boot, he becomes the season's Godfather who Sean and Rob need to overcome.
228* SmugSnake: He was mostly a [[PragmaticVillainy pragmatic villain]], but he did make an incredibly arrogant comment about how Paschal and Neleh were rooting for his success(that they were willing to lay down their own chances at winning ''for him''). He even blows a kiss to Sean, signalling his time was over.
229* TemptingFate: The Aforementioned comment about Neleh and Paschal.
230 ----> "Neleh and Paschal, I think, are really supporting my success in this game, and are really rooting for me."
231* ToiletHumor: [[http://funny115.com/v1/31.htm The Infamous Peeing Incident]]
232[[/folder]]
233
234! Voted Out
235
236[[folder:10th. "Boston" Rob(ert) Mariano]]

239->'''Luxury item:''' American football
240->'''Tribe:''' Maraamu -> Rotu -> Soliantu
241----
242* BreakoutCharacter: Rob became a EnsembleDarkhorse this time around and was invited back for [[Characters/SurvivorAllStars All-Stars]] because of it.
243* DecoyProtagonist: Rob gets the spotlight in the first half of the season and his rivalry with John is built up as something that will blow up into all-out war once the tribes merge. However, the conflict comes to a head immediately after the merge and Rob is voted out by John, leaving Kathy as the would-be protagonist of the season.
244* DiscOneFinalBoss: Serves as this for John and his alliance.
245* EarlyInstallmentWeirdness: Unlike his later seasons he wields very little power, is not particularly great at the challenges (stupidly getting himself disqualified at his first and only shot at individual immunity), and fails to get any schemes off the ground. He isn't even referred to by his famous nickname until his final episode.
246* EvilGenius / TheSmartGuy
247* IconicOutfit: His cap. Slight subversion, though, as his first time around he's wearing a New England Patriots cap instead of the Boston Red Sox cap more commonly associated with him.
248* JerkWithAHeartOfJerk
249* ManipulativeBastard: Successfully sows the seeds of distrust among the members of Rotu, starting with Kathy.
250* MrFanservice
251* [[MyDeathIsJustTheBeginning My Elimination Is Just The Beginning]]: He manages to plant ''just'' enough dissent to speed up John and the rest of the Rotu Four's downfall.
252* OneSteveLimit: After he went to Rotu, he was on the same tribe as Rob [=DeCanio=]. His tribe mates used LocationThemeNaming as a solution, thus named him "Boston Rob".
253* OnlyKnownByTheirNickname: After the tribal swap, and he started sharing the same camp as [=DeCanio=], they started referring to him as "Boston" Rob.
254* SacrificialLion: One of the star players before his boot and he sows the seeds of discord that allowed John to be eliminated after him.
255* SelfProclaimedLiar
256* ShipTease: With Sarah. Strangely has one with Kathy on their night alone together, calling her the second Sarah.
257* SmugSnake: Has little aptitude for the social aspect this time around.
258* TallDarkAndHandsome
259* TallDarkAndSnarky: He calls Peter a fruit loop in the very first episode. After the switch, he makes his disdain for his new tribemates known by having a confessional solely dedicated to trashing them.

268* UsefulNotes/AmericanAccents: She has a thick hearty southern one.
269* BornUnlucky: Gina was stuck on Maraamu for all of her time in the game, having lost so many challenges in a row.
270* GracefulLoser
271* IntergenerationalFriendship: With Kathy after the tribe switch.
272* MsFanservice
273* {{Narrator}}: Has the highest average confessionals per episode.
274* OnlySaneMan: Gina saw herself like this when her tribe Maraamu voted out Hunter.
275* RevengeBeforeReason: After the swap, she let her dislike of Sarah get in her way instead of teaming up and allying with Kathy. She was eliminated soon after.
276* ShipTease: With Hunter.
277* SurroundedByIdiots: She felt new life when most of her tribe was swapped over to Rotu because they made the decision to boot out their strongest member.

285----
286* AfroAsskicker
287* TheBartender: His job at the time.
288* BreakTheCutie: His face tells a story of heartbreak and despair the moment he receives a unanimous vote. He cries during his final words and tells his tribe he still loves them.
289* DiabolusExMachina: The Tribe Switch brought the three people who brought the game with them.
290** Even moreso, instead of booting those three people, his alliance voted for him for very little reason.
291* DiggingYourselfDeeper: When asked about what his game plan was, Gabe said he wasn't there to play the game. This would start the events towards his elimination.
292* EveryoneLovesBlondes: A male variant. Reportedly, the staff and crew cried after his elimination.
293** HairOfGoldHeartOfGold
294* TheHeart: Of the Rotu alliance. After he's gone, they begin to implode.
295* HiddenDepths: He helped write [[http://www.funny115.com/greece/greece.htm this story]] after the show.
296* IntergenerationalFriendship: With Paschal.
297* MrFanservice
298* MeaningfulName: Gabriel was the closest thing to an angel that had been on Survivor at the time.
299* NiceGuy
300* TheNicknamer: He dubbed Paschal "Pappy" and Neleh "Sweet Pea". John was called "Johnny Pots And Pans", but that may have been invented by someone else.
301* ThePollyanna
302* SacrificialLamb: His elimination is the impetus for Neleh's flip, signalling the beginning of the end of the Rotu 4.
303* ShockingElimination: With three players from the other tribe (two of which were not on good terms with the rest), few thought Gabe would be voted out.
304* SmallRoleBigImpact: Serves as one for the entire series. The Rotu tribe had zero reason to vote him out over outsiders Rob, Sean, and Vecepia. His elimination pretty much signalled not only John's need to feed his ego but the idea that it doesn't matter if you're great at challenges, a provider, the heart of your tribe or just an all-around good guy. If you're not with the numbers, you're gone.
305** Even moreso, his elimination resulted in Neleh, Kathy and Paschal realizing something was very wrong back in Rotu (Neleh, in particular, was apparently on very good terms with them), and eventually played a major part in causing them all to decide to flip on the Rotu four, marking the first time people on the bottom of an alliance banded together with the outliers to seize control of the game. (Previously the majority alliance would Pagong the other tribe, with a rare alliance boot here and there until the endgame)
306* SpannerInTheWorks: After Gabriel revealed that he had no interest in playing the game to get ahead, John became paranoid and thought that Gabe would become this to his alliance, so he orchestrated a blindside. That's why he was unanimously booted a day or two later. Turns out his elimination was the ''real'' spanner...
307* TooGoodForThisSinfulEarth: Why he couldn't play the game.
308* WhenHeSmiles: In his final tribal council, Tammy notes that the mood always seems to lighten whenever he does his little giggle.

316----
317* DiabolusExMachina: The Tribe Switch. Sarah was separated from her alliance and was trapped with Gina (Sarah's biggest critic). The other people liked Sarah but not her lack of work ethic. Basically, she was screwed when Maraamu lost immunity.
318* EstablishingCharacterMoment: Her Cleopatra-like posing on the raft and her refusal to help row as her tribe made its way to camp on the first day.
319* FourIsDeath: The fourth person voted out in the fourth episode in the fourth season. When voted out, the vote was 4-1 and she was the fourth Maraamu to leave the game.
320* LazyBum
321* TheLoad: Because of being a LazyBum and Hunter thought she was distracting Rob. Even on the new Maraamu tribe, she didn't spend much time with the new members, leading to her getting eliminated.
322* MsFanservice: Sarah was the first woman to explicitly fill out this role.
323* PowerHair
324* ShipTease: With Boston Rob.
325* TagAlongKid: She was the youngest person on Maraamu and was only kept because she was loyal Rob.
326* TheTease: Her tribemates viewed her as this but she didn't really do anything.
327* TheThingThatWouldNotLeave: The first-ever "cockroach" player, Sarah was on the chopping block her entire existence and, despite Maraamu losing all their challenges, somehow lasted as long as she did.
328* UnwittingPawn: Of Rob's, until the swap.

336----
337* TheAce: The physically strongest and most capable member of his tribe.
338** AcePilot: He was a former Navy Pilot.
339* DecoyProtagonist: All-American, blonde guy with a great body and is liked by damn near everyone. Along with a lot of confessionals, the guy could have been this season's [[Characters/SurvivorTheAustralianOutback Colby]]. Rob, however, put a quick stop to that.
340* HeroOfAnotherStory: In later years, Hunter Ellis appeared in several actiony ads for Atomic products like the Atomic Beam Flashlight, Atomic Lantern, Atomic Headlight and Atomic Lighter.
341* IntergenerationalFriendship: With Patricia
342* MrFanservice
343* SacrificialLion: Unfortunately for Hunter, he was at odds with Rob, who had absolutely no regard for his leadership, and once he got enough votes behind him...
344** For the game as a whole, this marks an evolution in strategy. Usually, fit guys were kept until the merge because they are an asset in challenges. His elimination marks a power shift in Maraamu.
345* ShipTease: With Gina.
346* SupportPartyMember: After the show, he once became part of the Survivor Dream Team, who test runs challenges before the contestants perform them.

361* TheLoad: Why she was targeted. Unlike many ''Survivor'' examples, she escapes the first
362* MyBelovedSmother: After she survives the first vote, she becomes this to her entire tribe!
363* TeamMom: Attempted to be this, but she got as far as being naggy.

373* CoolOldGuy
374* HiddenDepths: His [[http://survivoroz.wordpress.com/2013/10/08/peter-harkey-interview/ SurvivorOz]] interview is a force to behold, and it gives a lot of depth and humanity to "that one guy who talked about his holes."
375* HoistByHisOwnPetard: Openly put a target on Patricia's back when Maraamu lost the first challenge, before anyone even bothered pointing fingers. This immediately turned everyone against him, and caused him to leave first.
376* IntergenerationalFriendship: With Sean Rector. Also formed one with Boston Rob after the game.
