A few Survivor Cliches/Tropes
Hello there! This is my first blog and it's pretty much an informative blog about some clichés or tropes commonly used in Survivor fanfics that you want to avoid it, without further explanation... Let's go:

John Cochran
This Cochran cliche is pretty much the use of a "nerdy" character, glasses, curly, hair maybe freckles if you want to, but this character is going to start as an underdog but it will slowly emerge as one who shows that can make powerful moves or even flip the entire game with an idol.

The Police Officer
This cliche often applies with a character whose job is -you guessed it- a police officer, this character will may not tell everyone that he/she's a police officer for fear that it may hurt his game. This character can also become the villain of the season with enough dedication

Young Girl
The moment you see this character in a season page, you can easily tell she's not gonna make it past the 17th place

Yes, the vote is locked
In your first fanfic you, of course, are going to want some blindsides to avoid the season being predictive, but this has become predictive. If everyone seems to agree that the vote is going 100% to x person, then your spider-sense will tell you that that's not the case

The nature of cliches
These have been only a few short cliches that i wanted to add for newer writers (like me, that i had to rewrite some things in my fanfic due to being too obvious) to take note. However clichés are also a good opportunity to make viewers expect something, you can make the "young girl" win the season or "cochran" being the 1st voted out. At the end of the day, there is always something new to learn and everyone can make mistakes (specially if its your first fanon)
