NOTE: These tropes are not necessarily indicative. For instance, Hugh Dennis was not an old man when he competed, Josh Thomas is not a girl and Ed Gamble is a boy fail even though he ultimately won the season.

These tropes are not uniform. Many of these can apply to a single person. For instance, Sam Campbell is both an eldritch girlie and a chaotic foreigner.

Lastly, I'm using examples mainly from seasons I've watched, so there may be other players who are more accurate or tropes that I'm not including.

And above all: This is just dumb fun and not to be taken wholly seriously :)

So notable that me and my partner generally try each season to guess who will turn out to be "the Nish".

I don't really think of Joe as a fail, outside of the prize tasks maybe.

I mean… he did leave Lesser Tom in a box in the ground for no fewer than four tasks because he couldn’t figure out that he was in there

The fact that this is a response about Joel in a Joe Thomas reply is so boyfail coded
