Survivor (TV series)/Characters/China
Todd Herzog
- The Bad Guy Wins: Though he's not a full-fledged one in the way, say, Richard Hatch and Brian Heidik were.
- The Chessmaster
- Deadpan Snarker
- Evil Genius / The Smart Guy
- Genre Savvy: Knew the consequences of becoming the leader of Fei Long, so instead tried to shove that responsibility onto Aaron.
- Law of Chromatic Superiority: Wears red clothes and he originally belongs to the red tribe Fei-Long. No wonder he won.
- Magnificent Bastard
- Manipulative Bastard
- Non-Action Guy
- Shorter Means Smarter
- Sole Survivor
- Invisible to Gaydar
- The Strategist
- Worthy Opponent: Especially to Jean Robert.
Courtney Yates
- Badass Adorable
- The Charmer: To Frosti.
- Deadpan Snarker
- Defeat by Modesty: At one challenge.
- Elimination Houdini: A big part of her argument for why she should win.
- Fag Hag: To Todd.
- Genki Girl
- Intergenerational Friendship: With Leslie.
- Kawaiiko
- Lady in Red
- Law of Chromatic Superiority: Also wears red clothes and she also originally belongs to the red tribe Fei-Long.
- Moe
- No Damage Run
- The Runner Up Takes It All: She came back for Heroes vs. Villains, but Todd didn't.
- Ship Tease: With Frosti.
- The Snark Knight: One of the most sarcastic, acerbic players in Survivor history. Outright says she hates everyone in the game at one point.
- Ungrateful Bitch: Invoked by Amanda for why Courtney didn't deserve to win.
- White-Haired Pretty Girl
Amanda Kimmell
- Good Is Boring
- Male Gaze: Almost unavoidable when every single moment she's on screen her rear-end is blurred out.
- Ms. Fanservice: Former Miss Montana, ladies and gentlemen.
- No Damage Run
- Poor Communication Kills: The reason she lost in the final tribal council is due to this.
- The Second Runner Up Takes It All
- Statuesque Stunner
- Tall, Dark and Bishoujo
Denise Martin
- Fish Out of Water: A big theme of her story was her experiences on reward trips where she was completely amazed and humbled by the culture she'd never experienced.
- Hidden Depths: Would you believe she's a black belt in Kenpo?
- Out of Focus: Early in the season entire episodes would go by without her having a single confessional. It's only after James and Aaron are sent to Zhan Hu that she starts getting attention.
- Perpetual Poverty: Denise discusses how that while Todd will have his flight attendant job, Courtney will have her waitressing job and Amanda will have her modelling career after the show, this trope is all Denise has to go back to after the show is over.
- Unwitting Pawn: Duped and dumped at the Final Four.
Peih-Gee Law
- Action Girl
- Chinese Girl
- Elimination Houdini: Twice!
- Graceful Loser
- Plucky Girl
- The Strategist: When trying to find ways to vote off Todd.
- Took a Level In Kindness: Started as Alpha Bitch of Zhan Hu, but after merge, she mellowed.
Erik Huffman
- A Man Is Not a Virgin: Decidedly subverted.
- Nice Guy
- Out of Focus
- Romance on the Set: With Jaime.
James Clement
- Bald of Awesome
- The Big Guy
- Big Eater
- Mr. Fanservice
- Gentle Giant
- Ineffectual Loner: At first...
- Heroic Build
- Never Live It Down: Him being voted out with two hidden immunity idols are always bought up in his future appearances.
- Tall, Dark and Snarky
- Too Dumb to Live
- What an Idiot!: Especially in Jeff Probst's eyes.
Michael Zernow
- Kid Hero
- Le Parkour: An honest-to-goodness practitioner of it.
- Only Known by Their Nickname: Frosti.
- Ship Tease: With Courtney.
- Tagalong Kid: At first to Zhan Hu, than to Todd's aliance
Jean-Robert Bellande
- Character Development: Invoked - his plan was to be lazy and uncooperative at the start of the game, so when he did start to become helpful around camp, his tribemates would mistake that for the aforementioned trope.
- Designated Villain
- Hey, It's That Guy!: On poker programming since the game (ex. the World Series of Poker Main Event), he usually gets ID'd as "Jean-Robert Bellande from Survivor."
- Hidden Depths: Shocks everyone when it turns out he speaks semi-fluent Mandarin, which comes in handy when a Chinese fisherman and his family visit Fei Long as a Reward Challenge prize.
- Jerkass: Liked by basically nobody else on his tribe.
- Lazy Bum: Deliberately invoked this trope in order to lower the tribe's expectations of him and then pleasantly surprise them when he did start working hard. It only worked partially.
- Sitcom Arch Nemesis: To Courtney.
- The Strategist: Attempted to be this, but it never really panned out.
- Tall, Dark and Snarky
- Small Name, Big Ego: Genuinely believed himself to be the best player in the game. The actual sequence of events that leads to his being voted out proves otherwise, and he actually refuses to admit he made mistakes as a player at the reunion in spite of it.
- Smug Snake
- Worthy Opponent: Considers Todd this when all is said and done.
Jaime Dugan
- Disc One Final Boss
- Dumb Blonde: Despite being a fairly competent leader, this is how the other tribe and most of the cast saw her.
- Failed a Spot Check: Mistaking a plank of wood for the hidden immunity idol.
- Humiliation Conga: Her last episode is an endless parade of mockery.
- Nice Girl
- Romance on the Set: With Erik.
- Southern Belle
- Smug Snake: Especially when throwing the challenge to get rid of one of Zhan Hu's new tribemates.
Sherea Lloyd
- Hair-Trigger Temper: Just ask Dave and Jean-Robert.
- Lazy Bum: At the trade-off of being a solid challenge player.
- Sassy Black Woman
Aaron Reisberger
- Diabolus Ex Machina: Had it not been for the tribal shuffle, there was little doubt that he could make the jury. Instead, the shuffle put him on a tribe with people that don't want any part of him, so they throw a challenge and vote him out.
- Puppet King: While it appeared that he was in charge of Fei Long, Todd was actually calling all the shots.
- Shocking Elimination
- Standardized Leader
Dave Cruser
- Bilingual Bonus
- Cloudcuckoolander
- Naked People Are Funny
- Sitcom Arch Nemesis: With Ashley especially, but basically his whole tribe.
- Stupid Boss
Leslie Nease
- The Fundamentalist: Arguably, she receives a more positive edit than most devoutly religious people on this show.
- Intergenerational Friendship: With Courtney.
Ashley Massaro
- Gag Boobs
- Hey, It's That Guy!: A WWE Diva, and probably one of the more famous people to enter Survivor.
- Jerkass
