The Tribes
Ravu
Color/ namesake: orange/ Fijian for "smite" or "strike down"
Members (start): Anthony Robinson, Earl Cole, Erica Derousseau, Jessica deBen, Michelle Yi, Mookie Lee, Rita Verreos, Rocky Reid, Sylvia Kwan, Yau-Man Chan
Members (swap): Alex Angarita, Anthony Robinson, Dreamz Herd, Edgardo Rivera, Lisi Linares, Mookie Lee, Rocky Reid
The "have-not"s tribe.
- Born Unlucky: What happens when you're against a tribe that only has to "survive" a camping trip. Oh, and this fate occurred after losing just one challenge.
- David vs. Goliath: The David in the relationship. They were given less supplies to deal with the wilderness next to Moto. That dynamic meant they lost every immunity challenge and only one reward. A swap ameliorated things, but only for those who went to Moto. The setbacks got to everyone at the new Ravu and they didn't win a single other challenge. They came into the merge with just four members all blatantly at odds, but Earl managed to get into the majority alliance and have the cleanest victory in Survivor history.
- Dwindling Party: By the time of the merge, there were only four original Ravus left. To be fair, Earl and Yau-Man did make it pretty far.
- Earn Your Happy Ending: Despite being tribe that got curb stomped every challenge, they did produce the winner.
- Epic Fail: Out of all the challenges they participated in, they won only one. But this was due to an unfair advantage and that victory practically warrants respect in and of itself.
- Failure Hero: They only won ONE challenge overall, one. It's part of why the "haves/ havenots" twist was never used again.
Moto
Color/ namesake: green/ Fijian for "spear"
Members (start): Alex Angarita, Boo Bernis, Cassandra Franklin, Dreamz Herd, Edgardo Rivera, Gary Stritetsky, Liliana Gomez, Lisi Linares, Stacy Kimball
Members (swap): Boo Bernis, Cassandra Franklin, Earl Cole, Michelle Yi, Stacy Kimball, Yau-Man Chan
The "haves" tribe.
- A House Divided: Pre-tribe swap featured a majority alliance against outsiders Dreamz and Cassandra. Ironically, both of them made the finals.
- Born Lucky: Winning the first challenge guaranteed anyone there smooth sailing to the merge.
- Curb-Stomp Battle: As expected of the tribe with many luxuries. Ravu couldn't catch up to the better fed and better rested Moto, even with a tribe swap and Moto having to vote somebody out as part of a twist.
- Showy Invincible Hero: Because of their luxary campsite, Moto just once. They also went to one Tribal Council but it was due to a twist detailed below.
- Sadistic Choice: After winning the fourth immunity challenge, Moto got this in the form of a note. Either keep immunity but give up their luxury camp to Ravu, or keep their camp but forfeit immunity to Ravu and go to tribal council. They picked the latter, and the choice never showed up again.
Bula Bula
Color/ namesake: purple/ Fijian for "hello" twice
Members: Alex Angarita, Boo Bernis, Cassandra Franklin, Dreamz Herd, Earl Cole, Edgardo Rivera, Michelle Yi, Mookie Lee, Stacy Kimball, Yau-Man Chan
The merged tribe.
Finalists
1st. Earl Cole
Age/ home/ job: 35/ Santa Monica, California/ advertizing executive
Tribe: Ravu -> Moto -> Bula Bula
- Awesome by Analysis: Saw one episode of Survivor before playing. Got the first Flawless Victory AND the first No-Damage Run. It's safe to say he knew what he was doing.
- Flawless Victory: The Trope Maker for Survivor. He received all nine jury votes (the first American competitor to sweep), and only one dummy vote thrown at him in the third tribal council.
- Intergenerational Friendship: With Yau-Man.
- Made of Iron
- Nice Guy: Had a generally pleasant demeanor on throughout the season, even when acting underhanded in votes.
- No-Damage Run: That one tribal council vote was a plan of his and not meant to take him out.
- Sole Survivor: The fourteenth one.
- The Smart Guy: Came up with the majority alliance during the latter half of the game.
2nd/3rd. Andria "Dreamz" Herd
Age/ home/ job: 24/ Wilmington, North Carolina/ cheerleading coach
Tribe: Moto -> Ravu -> Bula Bula
- Anti-Villain: See Jerkass Woobie.
- Accentuate the Negative: Did you know he was visibly showing signs of regret and months later, was still sore about going back on the deal to Yau-Man? The way everyone (especially Alex and Lisi) and the fans went on... you'd be surprised.
- Being Evil Sucks: Nearly every jury member
hated him because he screwed them over. - Chronic Backstabbing Disorder: He constantly switched sides and backstabbed his would-be-allies. It backfired against him big time, as he made personal enemies with almost all the jury members, netting him zero votes in the final.
- Dark and Troubled Past: He has a tragic backstory about growing up poor and homeless, and that is a major part of his overall narrative on the show.
- Didn't Think This Through: His otherwise successful plan to backstab his way to the finale had one, crippling flaw: the jury voting for the Sole Survivor was entirely made up of people he betrayed.
- Digging Yourself Deeper: Pretty much his entire story arc. Each and every choice he made only assured a lack of sympathy from the jury at best and making them his personal enemies at worst.
- Even Evil Has Standards: To be fair, he cried and said sorry to Yau-Man before eliminating him, visibly showing signs of having regretted it.
- Heel–Face Revolving Door: He was constantly switching sides and mini-alliances, in the process usually backstabbing his current allies.
- I Did What I Had to Do: And he was criticized for it! You just know that if he gave up the immunity or thrown it, he'd likely have been eliminated!
- Jerkass: Did his very best to gain enemies from everyone in his tribe, both pre- and post-merge, due to his Chronic Backstabbing Disorder.
- Jerk Ass Woobie: He really doesn't deserve all the crap he gets.
- That, and his mother told him he'd never had a chance to be anything, and it's implied he's poor. Can't help but feel sorry for him there.
- My God, What Have I Done?: After saying he would keep the immunity, you can see him looking down and mentally saying "My God, What Have I Done??!"
- Only Known by Their Nickname: Dreamz.
- "The Reason You Suck" Speech: He was on the receiving end of this during the Final Council, where most of the people he wronged throughout the season told him exactly what they thought about him and his backstabbing.
- Sadistic Choice: He gets hit with two.
- First, whether to accept Yau-Man’s car deal, immediately giving him a car he badly needs, but potentially putting him in a bad spot later on.
- Second, whether to keep faith with Yau-man over said deal. If he keeps the deal with Yau-Man, he’s voted out and loses the chance for a million dollars. If he breaks the deal, he makes himself look bad and thus still loses the chance for a million dollars.
- Second Place Is for Losers
- Self-Deprecation: When the players are asked to answer questions such as "Who is the smelliest in your tribe?", Dreamz writes his own name down.
- Sixth Ranger Traitor: To every alliance he was ever in, especially The Four Horsemen.
- Small Name, Big Ego: Straggles between this and Jerkass Woobie.
- Sole Survivor: The only member of the "Four Horsemen" (himself, Alex, Mookie, and Edgordo) to make the Final Three.
- Ungrateful Bastard: To Yau-Man, by breaking the deal they had about the final immunity idol.
2nd/3rd. Cassandra Franklin
Age/ home/ job: 42/ Los Angeles, California/ college administrator
Tribe: Moto -> Moto -> Bula Bula
- Greed: What Lisi said Cassandra's main motivator in the game was.
- GuileHero: A very, very subtle version. The one challenge she actually did flawlessly in was a challenge based around how well you knew your fellow tribemates, and her social game was her only saving grace.
- The Load: In team challenges, and might've been voted out if Moto ever had to worry about losing them.
- Number Two: Let Earl do the heavy lifting in their alliance. It cost her the victory when she got accused of riding his coattails.
- Out of Focus: Not quite the attention-hog as the others in her alliance, and saw only one tribal council before the merge.
- Suspiciously Similar Substitute: She plays Survivor a lot like Vecepia Towery did, but not nearly as well.
- Two First Names
Jury Members
4th. Yau-Man Chan
Age/ home/ job: 54/ Martinez, California/ internet technology director
Tribe: Ravu -> Moto -> Bula Bula
- Asian and Nerdy: The "nerdy" part is somewhat drowned out by his age, but he's physics-obsessed dork and hails from Borneo.
- Awesome by Analysis: He beat many challenges by applying his smarts. A reinforced crate? Find and bash the weak point, bursting it open. Hidden idols? Put a fake one for others to find. Any sort of physical challenges? Just think of the path of least resistance and use physics.
- Breakout Character: Basically the most popular person of the season, and one of the most popular of all time. In Fans Vs Favorites, Yau Man was given the biggest round of applause. To date, he's the only player from Fiji to have returned to another season.
- Cool Old Guy: The very picture among Survivor contestants.
- Intergenerational Friendship: With everyone, though particular attention was given to his partnership with Earl.
- Keep the Reward: The infamous car deal with Dreamz. It doesn't end well.
- Kid-Appeal Character: He's physically weak and relies on others to strategize for him, but makes up for both with absurd wisdom and just being that much of a Nice Guy. He also got a more sympathetic edit than any of the finalists, which even he got surprized by.
- Magnetic Hero: On top of being able to solve all sorts of problems with his smarts alone, Yau-Man was also an incredibly friendly, easy-going man, making friends with everyone. In the reunion, the other survivors made it clear he would win due to his personality, if only Dreamz didn't eliminate him.
- Muscles Are Meaningless: You'd wouldn't expect a tiny person like Yau-Man to be a threat in challenges, but he proved everybody wrong.
- My Death Is Just the Beginning: His elimination pretty much cost Dreamz any chance of winning. Then again though at the reunion, the cast said that Yau-Man was going to win even if Dreamz kept his deal, where he would probably be sent home by vote or lose to Earl and Yau-Man.
- Nerd Glasses: Wears big, old-school wireframe glasses, while being a lanky, elderly guy cracking problems with his brain power.
- Nice Guy: Like you wouldn't believe. In fact, it was one of the reasons he was the last one to be eliminated and why doing so was considered in-universe to be a Moral Event Horizon. He was notably one of the people least angry with Dreamz about going back on the car deal, saying that he only really had himself to blame for how it turned out.
- Shorter Means Smarter: Unlike other booksmart Survivor players, he's able to translate his knowledge into winning physical challenges. But he's also very scrawny and his height borders on Miniature Senior Citizens.
- The Smart Guy: Easily the smartest person in the whole season, and considered one of the smartest contestants to ever be in Survivor.
- Team Dad: His amiable personality combined with a generation gap with other contestants quickly put him into this position.
- Took a Level in Badass: Stated to gain more strength after the tribe swap.
- Weak, but Skilled: One of the most deceptively strong challenge players in the history of Survivor. Especially in the archery challenge.
- And in busting open a crate by smashing its corner.
5th. Kenward "Boo" Bernis
Age/ home/ job: 34/ Lafayette, Louisiana/ construction worker
Tribe: Moto -> Bula Bula
- The Big Guy: Rivals Dreamz in being the biggest physical threat of the season.
- Butt-Monkey: Where to start? He gets something in his eye first, so they wash it out with water. Then when he's chopping wood, the axe slipped, slid down his skin and hit his knee. He is then put on the hammock so he doesn't hurt himself any further... and then the hammock fell down.
- Later, he tore his ACL in a challenge.
- In his final challenge, he was supposed to lower platforms and cross a river using them whilst blindfolded. He was doing fairly well up until near the end, when he somehow managed to wander through the river and ended up on the wrong side of the platform.
- Crouching Moron, Hidden Badass: Despite his oafish nature, Boo was very adept in challenges.
- Embarrassing First Name: Probably why he prefers to be called "Boo".
- Good Ol' Boy: His self-description of himself in the previews went: "I've always been a Tom Sawyer/Huckleberry Finn type of person, so this is the greatest opportunity to do that.".
- The Klutz: Why he ends up injured all the time.
- Made of Iron: For the most part, Boo can be injured and usually shrug the injury off like it was nothing. Noteworthy when he injures his knee during a challenge and continues playing. Note that he got voted off and was not evacuated.
- Only Known by Their Nickname: "Boo". Nobody says "Kenward", and CBS only wrote it for reference.
- Sickening "Crunch!": The sound of his ACL snapping was so horrifying that during the reunion Jeff Probst took the time to make clear that it really was the sound picked up on the spot, with no digital altering.
- Small Role, Big Impact: Boo was the person who recommended James Clement, Russell Hantz, Shannon Elkins, and Colton Cumbie to apply for Survivor. So while he wasn't that important in his own season, Boo had a disproportionate influence on future seasons.
6th. Stacy Kimball
Age/ home/ job: 27/ Boulder, Colorado/ web producer
Tribe: Moto -> Bula Bula
- Alpha Bitch: With Lisi early on. Unlike Lisi, Stacy Took a Level in Kindness after the tribal shuffle.
- Backstab Backfire: Tried to aid in the blindside of Yau-Man to take him out at the final five. He played the Hidden Immunity Idol and she went out instead.
- The Friend Nobody Likes: Is unanimously voted “the person you don’t want to see after the game” by the rest of the tribe at the “Q&A” challenge.
- Manipulative Bitch / The Strategist : The Edgardo blindside was her idea.
- Ms. Fanservice: The camera gets several shots of her sunbathing, showering in her bikini, etc.
- Out of Focus: After the tribal shuffle. Comes back into focus at the merge.
- The Smart Girl: Doesn’t seem like it at first, but she shows some strategic chops by suggesting the the Edgardo blindside.
7th. Alejandro "Alex" Angarita
Age/ home/ job: 28/ Los Angeles, California/ attorney
Tribe: Moto -> Ravu -> Bula Bula
- Affably Evil: Has a calm demeanor the majority of the time. Even when he's about to be voted off.
- Alliterative Name
- Amoral Attorney: Granted, he's amoral and and an attorney, not that he's amoral for any attorney-like actions.
- Anti-Villain: A cutthroat gameplayer who gets worse as the season goes on, but really only becomes rude with stress. He's also not much of a threat on his own.
- Irony: At Tribal Council, he goes into a speech about how karma in Survivor is quick and painful aimed at the opposing alliance, which at that point had him and Mookie outnumbered 6 to 2. He then proceeds to vote for Mookie in order to save himself for three more days (spoiling the split vote), only to get voted out the following episode.
- Ivy League for Everyone: Alex went to Harvard's law school and was cast to be The Smart Guy amongst his tribemates.
- Oh, Crap!: When Edgardo's name came up, he knew Dreamz screwed up The Four Horseman alliance. He never manages to save his game.
- "The Reason You Suck" Speech: In the finale, to Dreamz.
- Smug Snake
- Took a Level in Jerkass: At the start of the season, he was the nicest person on his tribe and showed disgust at the way Stacy and Lisi treated Dreamz and Cassandra, but later on he's decidedly more of a Jerkass, especially evidenced with his horrid treatment towards Cassandra in the final tribal council. He was also a dick to Dreamz in his jury speech, but he at least was actually eliminated directly because of Dreamz's actions.
8th. Mookie Lee
Age/ home/ job: 24/ Chicago, Illinois/ business consultant
Tribe: Ravu -> Bula Bula
- Born Unlucky/Butt-Monkey: Mookie was trapped on luxury-less Ravu for the entirety of the pre-merge and had to endure the losses accordingly. Also, he was constantly in the minority during the merge.
- Frat Bro: He was a member of Pi Kappa Alpha in college. He's also athletic and sociable, but not all that responsible and prone to giving into mob rule.
- Idiot Ball: Telling Dreamz about the idol. It sets Dreamz to tell the rival alliance and spirals into the Four Horsemen collapsing before getting anything done.
- Jerkass
- Jerk Jock: Not as bad as Rocky, but he did thrash Dreamz like everyone else and wasn't the nicest person in the game.
- Smug Snake: He was so sure the Four Horsemen had it in the bag.
9th. Edgardo Rivera
Age/ home/ job: 28/ Miami Beach, Florida/ advertizing executive
Tribe: Moto -> Ravu -> Bula Bula
- The Dragon: If Alex had a confidante among the Four Horsemen, it was him.
- Oh, Crap!: Edgardo and Alex have an EPIC Oh, Crap! the moment Ed's name first comes up on the votes.
- Shocking Elimination: In-Universe. Nobody expected him to go home.
- Token Good Teammate: To the Four Horsemen alliance. He's the one who reins in any disputes.
- The Trickster: Despite winding up the moral center of the Four Horseman alliance, he was cast to be this way. Jeff Probst relayed a story of Edgardo dating a friend's wife behind his back, that Edgardo confirmed without question. However, the unique dynamics of the season meant he had little time to be rebellious.
10th. Michelle Yi
Age/ home/ job: 22/ Cincinnati, Ohio/ student
Tribe: Ravu -> Moto -> Bula Bula
- The Cutie: She was even viewed as one of the "Survivor Sweethearts".
- Diabolus ex Machina: The merged tribe is split up into two groups at merge for a challenge, where the entire losing group has to go to tribal council whereas the other half gets immubity. Michelle is put into a team that had an entire alliance, who didn't account for the twist and lose the challenge.
- Genki Girl: She becomes the last woman standing on the original Ravu because of her athleticism.
- The Ingenue: In the preview she talked about how her youth might make her seem weak or naïve, but that she's capable of changing people's opinions of her. Note how only Michelle and Yau-Man act kind to Dreamz in the finale.
- Ms. Fanservice
- Nice Girl: She was one of the only people in the final Tribal Council not to throw Accentuate the Negative, personal attacks, or other mean-spirited comments at the final three. Especially noticeable in her speech to Dreamz.
- Plucky Girl
11th. Lisette "Lisi" Linares
Age/ home/ job: 36/ Los Angeles, California/ customer service representative
Tribe: Moto -> Ravu
- Achievements in Ignorance: Despite her ineptitude, she manages to just weave into the jury and outlasts more obvious contenders like Rocky and Rita.
- Alliterative Name
- Alpha Bitch: In the early episodes, she refuses to even talk to Cassandra and Dreamz because she had an entire alliance behind her and they were not in it.
- Butt-Monkey: From the tribal switch onward she more or less turns into a walking punchline.
- Fiery Redhead: But absolutely not from physicality.
- Fish out of Water: Wanted nothing to with any outdoorsmanship nor the challenges, and didn't really play the social game either.
- Genre Blind: She didn't seem to know anything about Survivor. She couldn't see the obvious danger in alienating Cassandra and Dreamz, she said outright that she didn't think challenges were important. She didn't even want to play the game and only stayed so long because Moto kept on winning and had the most luxurious camp in Survivor history, making her time closer to a vacation. The moment when she is stuck in actual wilderness after the swap, she asks to get voted out.
- The Load: If Moto had lost any challenge, she absolutely would have been sent packing. If Ravu weren't run by Rocky Reid, they'd have listened when she said she wanted to be voted out.
- Phony Psychic: In the preshow, Lisi said that as a customer service representative that referred people to psychics, she was told she'd have to give phony readings over the phone at times.
- "The Reason You Suck" Speech: Goes into a big but somewhat nonsensical one to Dreamz and Cassandra in the finale.
12th. James "Rocky" Reid
Age/ home/ job: 28/ Los Angeles, California/ bartender
Tribe: Ravu -> Ravu
- Celebrity Resemblance: To Sylvester Stallone, thus his nickname.
- Disc-One Final Boss: Was set up as the main villain for the first half, only to be eliminated two episodes before the merge. He does make the jury, tho.
- Hair-Trigger Temper: His defining trait. Especially the temper tantrum he had in Episode 4.
- Jerk Jock
- Jerk with a Heart of Jerk: On the show, anyway. The unfair setbacks for Ravu didn't help.
- Only Known by Their Nickname: "Rocky". He said he had a bunch of other nicknames, but he went by Rocky, which the other contestants picked.
- Quit Your Whining: His biggest gripe with Anthony and pre-swap Ravu is their general weakness.
- Schoolyard Bully All Grown Up: All of the Ravus had gripes with Anthony, but he's the only one who actively targeted him and didn't have Pet the Dog moments.
- Small Name, Big Ego: In the episode he was voted off, there's a montage about how Rocky's attitude problem causes disharmony within the tribe, while Rocky is completely oblivious to how the others see him.
- Sore Loser: In his elimination speech, he clearly isn't happy being eliminated, screaming and talking badly about his tribemates.
- Surrounded by Idiots: How he felt in pre-swap Ravu.
- Testosterone Poisoning: Pretends to be really badass to the point where it’s just silly.
- Wild Card: Jeff Probst called him a lunatic in the previews and was even compared to Shane Powers. He never got in on any alliance and could only coöperate as a leader.
Voted Out
13th. Anthony Robinson
Age/ home/ job: 32/ Compton, California/ expert witness locator
Tribe: Ravu -> Ravu
- All of the Other Reindeer: Especially after the tribal switch, where he was stuck on a tribe with four incredibly macho guys and the one he hated most of all.
- Beware the Nice Ones: Finally snaps at Rocky during his final tribal council.
- Black and Nerdy: In the preshow, he said, "I'm a total gamer geek. It's called live action role-playing game where you dress up in costumes." Jeff Probst then said, "I don't think Anthony is going to fit in.". Needless to say, Probst was right.
- Butt-Monkey: Got stuck on the deliberately-weakened Ravu tribe the entire game and was targeted constantly. He also just misses the jury for his usual tormentor Rocky.
- Deadpan Snarker: Particularly in his last episode. He struggled also struggled in challenges and tried to use social skills to survive.
- Informed Flaw/ Manipulative Editing: Apparently unlikable and shifty, but there's really no evidence of this on the show. Furthermore, most of his arguments with Rocky Reid make Rocky look like the asshole.
- The Load: He sucks in challenges. Not that the "have-not" tribe Ravu had a chance of winning them anyway.
- Nerd Glasses
- Sitcom Arch-Nemesis: Cannot stand polar opposite Rocky Reid, and the feeling was absolutely mutual.
14th. Rita Verreos
Age/ home/ job: 38/ San Antonio, Texas/ single parent
Tribe: Ravu
- Girlish Pigtails: How her hair was styled in general.
- Mrs. Robinson: She was cast as something of a flirt. Before the game, many of the male participants even said that she would be the one woman they would hook up with. However, she quickly avoided the role as she didn't want people to mock her children over it.
- Team Mom: A caring person and wanted to win for her children back home.
- Wall of Blather: The reason why she was voted out.
15th. Liliana Gomez
Age/ home/ job: 25/ Los Angeles, California/ loan officer
Tribe: Moto
- Action Girl: Pre-season, Liliana said in an interview that she wanted to be like a squad leader to her tribe.
- Noodle Incident: Lisi calls her a "diabolical Mexican". Something must have been going on to get her that label. But what? The audience never gets to see any reasoning.
- Out of Focus: Doesn't get much screen time. It doesn't help that she's voted out early.
- Semper Fi: She's a former marine.
16th. Gary "Papa Smurf" Stritesky (quit)
Age/ home/ job: 55/ Ramsey, Minnesota/ school bus driver
Tribe: Moto
- Ascended Fan: The only applying contestant in Fiji; the rest were recruited.
- Cool Old Guy
- Non-Gameplay Elimination: He had a bad allergic reaction to some bug bites and asked to be pulled on the spot. Earlier that day he had an injury he just barely survived and didn't want to risk it a second time around.
- Old Soldier: Gary fought in the Vietnam war.
- Only Known by Their Nickname: "Papa Smurf"
- Team Dad
17th. Sylvia Kwan
Age/ home/ job: 52/ Ross, California/ architect
Tribe: Ravu
- Cool Old Lady
- Crazy Cat Lady: In the preshow, he said, "It took me thirty minutes to get Sylvia to tell me whether or not she knew how to swim. Good luck, Sylvia.", which shows that production did not have any confidence in her ability to last and saw her as loony. She also got dodo music in the premiere when she took on the leadership role of building the shelter.
- The Friend Nobody Likes: As a result of her supposed Stupid Boss tendencies and bossiness.
- Pointy-Haired Boss: Not good with the outdoors. Normally a recoverable fault, but Ravu didn't have the luxuries Moto had and resented her accordingly. Even the production staff took shots her for it.
18th. Erica Durousseau
Age/ home/ job: 25/ Baton Rouge, Louisiana/ charity worker
Tribe: Ravu
- Action Girl: When Erica's tribe is starving, she takes action to find food and ends up finding pineapple for the whole tribe.
- Passionate Sports Girl: In the preshow, she said, "I am an athlete. I ran track in college and high school, so I always work out and tend to stay pretty healthy.". It didn't help Ravu in challenges but she did adjust to the outdoors well.
- Wall of Blather: Why she was eliminated.
19th. Jessica deBen
Age/ home/ job: 27/ Los Angeles, California/ fashion stylist
Tribe: Ravu
- The Load: The reason why she was sent home. Keep in mind Ravu lost the luxury camp that made Moto unstoppable alongside that specific immunity.
- Ms. Fanservice: She's a fashion stylist.
- We Hardly Knew Ye: Said about her by Yau-Man Chan during the Rites of Passage.
Withdrew pre-game
Mellisa McNulty
Age/ home/ job: 28/ West Hollywood, California/ model and model scout
- Non-Gameplay Elimination: She quit the game minutes before the season started due to panic attacks, and because there weren't any backups in time, it was leaving the season to have only 19 official castaways.
- Out of Focus: Her quitting has made fans name her "the lost castaway".
- The Vamp: The archetype she was apparently cast for.
- We Hardly Knew Ye: We only got as far as a bio and some interviews. The other contestants didn't get to meet her, either.
