Go To

    Abby Chapman 

A 23-year-old veterinary student, who ended up on the deserted island. Her zodiac sign is Cancer.


  • All Girls Like Ponies: According to her bio she at least used to be a horse girl.
  • The Baby of the Bunch: Played with. Abby is treated like this (partly due to her strict parents giving her a sheltered upbringing) but she, Blake and David are all 23, with David being the youngest by a few months.
  • Campfire Character Exploration: In "Episode 26" the main characters get drunk and play Truth Or Dare around a campfire. Abby is asked what is the most horrible thing she has done. She confesses she didn't tell her parents, she signed up for the reality show.
  • O.O.C. Is Serious Business: In "Episode 26" when she gets drunk, she starts acting angrier than usual once she starts talking about her parents. Other characters are notably worried about this and make her stop drinking for the night.
  • Western Zodiac: Abby's zodiac sign is Cancer: she is caring, sweet and emotional.

    Alan Ingram 

A 25-year-old fashion designer, who ended up on the deserted island. His zodiac sign is Leo.


  • Camp Gay: Very fond of fashion and his looks, calls himself a queen, and uses mini shorts. And of course is gay.
  • Defrosting the Ice Queen: Alan is an "angry stick bug" and at first acts like a primadonna, but he does begin to warm up to the other castaways.
  • Jerk with a Heart of Gold: Usually very mean to everyone but sometimes shows that he genuinely cares for others on the island (especially David.)
  • Western Zodiac: Alan's zodiac sign is a Leo: he is creative and passionate, but arrogant.

    Ashton Harper 

A 26-year-old stoner/musician. He's trying his best at least. His zodiac sign Aquarius.


  • Hidden Depths: Ashton is a Cloud Cuckoo Lander and seems like a stereotypical twenty-something slacker. In actuality, he spent most of his savings funding his younger sister's MTF transition and wants the prize money to help kickstart the music career he put on hold.
  • The Stoner: According to him he doesn't have drugs with him on the island but according to his description he's "probably high right now".
  • Western Zodiac: He is an Aquarius: Always trying to help others, and a bit odd to say the least.

    Benjamin Hawkins 

A 31-year-old teacher who signed up for a reality show but ended up on a deserted island. He's a Gemini.


  • Absurd Phobia: Well, not weirdest fear ever but not very common either. Ben is extremely afraid of birds, especially bigger ones like seagulls.
  • Only Sane Man: Sometimes certainly seems so.
  • Western Zodiac: Ben's a Gemini: he's adaptable, a quick learner and often nervous.

    Blake Lawson 

A 23-year-old accounting student, who ended up on the deserted island. Her zodiac sign is Taurus.


  • Western Zodiac: Blake's zodiac sign is Taurus: she is practical, stubborn and generally down to earth.

    Craig Turner 

A 26-year-old police officer. One of the contestants for the reality show. Ended up on the deserted island.


  • Hidden Depths: Craig comes across as a Dumb Jock despite being a police officer. It's later revealed that not only was he injured in the line of duty, but he needs the prize money to pay off his ailing mother's debts.
  • Western Zodiac: He's an Aries: very confident and enthusiastic. Tries to be the island's "leader".

    David Watts 

A 23-year-old marketing student.


  • All Love Is Unrequited: David has a pretty blatant crush on Alan, who is aware of his feelings but thinks he is too young to know for sure.
  • Western Zodiac: David is a Libra: very social and co-operative.

    Emma Hudson 

A 24-year-old engineering student. One of the more intelligent ones on the island. She is a Capricorn.


  • Ambiguously Bi: Her sexuality hasn't been confirmed as she isn't sure either. She seems to be very attracted to Craig but she also has noticed being attracted to Blake too, at least on some level.
  • Western Zodiac: Emma is a Capricorn: stoic and ambitious.

    Julia Bennett 

A 29-year-old social worker. Definitely "the adult" of the group. Her zodiac sign is Virgo.


  • Happily Married: Julia and her husband Nicholas, although the stress of adopting a child has put pressure on their marriage. Not to mention the fact that she's now stranded on a deserted island with no way to contact him.
  • Hidden Depths: Julia is a social worker who comes across as a Stern Teacher, micromanaging the household and the chores. She wants to adopt a child from South America with her husband because they both see so many children in bad situations through their work.
  • Team Mom: Decides who does what, offers help to those who need and is the most mature one on the island.
  • Western Zodiac: She is a Virgo: practical and hard-working (sometimes maybe even a bit too much.)
