Is Duncan a rat? Or is he a monkey?

I've always wondered... No, seriously. This post is all about what I would name the original campers Chinese horoscopes as and why. Some will be obvious, some not as obvious. Well here we go then...

((In order of how they arrived on the dock))

Beth: Pig
Okay I'm not being mean here, this fits Beth pretty well. Just look at the characteristics
-sincere, diligent, genuine, obliging, generous, and friendly.
-gullible, naive, lazy, and superficial
Do you understand now? Even some of the negatives are wrong. You especially see these traits in the second season though more often then in the first.

DJ: Sheep
I think you can understand this one pretty easily but I'll give you the traits anyway.
-intelligent, artistic, gentle, kind, cultured, sensitive
-Fussy, insecure, and dependent

Gwen: Bitch
and not just because I don't like her, Gwen is actually a dog. And here's why;
-devoted, resilient, unselfish, honest, resourceful, and reliable
-nosy, cynical, cantankerous, pessimistic, anxious, and introverted

Geoff: Dragon
For those who don't know alot about Chinese horoscopes, this may seem unlikely. But the dragon isn't quite what you might expect.
-resourceful, self-assured, adaptable, original, valiant, enthusiastic
-hot headed, unpredictable, critical, irritable, discourteous
((okay so he's not so much like the negatives, but you can see how he's like the positive aspects))

Lindsay: Rooster
This one is not as clearly shown as the others because of Lindsay's err...intelligently challenged brain which makes her a  bit hard to categorize but here it is.
-passionate, resilient, patriotic, industrious, courageous, and protective
-conceited, blunt, rude, bossy, aggressive, and impatient
Not really easy to see right? I'll go into more detail on this one. First off, there is a resilience too Lindsey that though subtle, is there. She dealt with Heather and usually did a good job of taking her bullying. In the second season we meet her more bossy and aggressive side when she takes charge of her team. Thirdly, though probably not meaning to be rude, Lindsay was very blunt with Courtney by telling her that she would've got voted off later anyway because no one really liked her. Whether stupidity or just honesty, that was pretty blunt and a little rude.

Heather: Monkey
This was actually a hard one, not because there weren't any Heather wasn't like, but because there were a lot she was like. But in the end, Heather is a monkey. Here are the traits;
-persuasive, resourceful, good-humored, ingenious, versatile, imaginative
-superficial, restless, impudent, sly, mischievous, and untruthful

Duncan: Snake
This was another hard one because there were some that were like him but others that were as well but didn't have the trait I wanted. Snake does but I'll have to explain this one.
-insightful, shrewd, discreet, wise, compassionate, and subtle
-proud, manipulative, malicious, possessive, vain, and sluggish
Not only is Duncan proud, manipulative, vain, and a little malicious from time to time, but being a snake also includes compassion; which Duncan tries desperately to hide, hence the discreet and subtle.

Tyler: Ox
-honest, loyal, popular, sincere, steadfast, and reliable
-stubborn, impatient, inflexible, narrow-minded, and sulky
Get it?

Harold: Dog
-Devoted, resilient, unselfish, honest, resourceful, reliable
-nosy, cynical, anxious
Since this one has already shown up, I though I'd only add the ones he really had. Firstly, Harold has got to be the most devoted guy on the show the way he follows Leshawna around like a puppy dog, pun intended. Next he's resilient with his efforts, he's unselfish, in the third season he was willing to give up his chances at the money so Leshawna would think of him as 'knightly' or something along those lines. He's pretty honest like he was when he first met her, he can be resourceful and at times reliable as well though he also tends to be nosy, cynical and anxious, especially in the first season.

Trent: Pig
Also done before, refer to Beth's horoscope to see the characteristics. Not only is Trent friendly, diligent, and sincere, he's also a genuinely nice guy all around however because of this he is also naive and gullible. He can also be materialistic as well, especially in the second season.

Bridgette: Pig
Also a pig. Bridgette is similar to the female version of Trent, just add in lazy (though I'd call it more relaxed then anything) it's easy to tell why Bridgette has the traits of the pig though.

Noah: Rabbit
This one was almost a no-brainer. The traits are;
-Astute, thoughtful, refined, docile, and wise (more like intelligent I'd say)
-cunning, snobbish, possessive, fussy, and obsessive
Though not a perfect match, Noah definitely exhibits these traits for obvious reasons.

Leshawna: Horse
The traits;
-friendly, vivacious, enduring, witty, cheerful, refined, and independent.
-selfish, reckless, vain, impatient, and volatile
I think this one is pretty obvious as to why minus the refined and vain.

Katie and Sadie: Horse
Just add the vain part and pull out the witty, refined, and independent.

Ezekiel: Due to his weirdness and and my unsure-ness of his full personality, I can't match him with a Chinese horoscope. Plus the guys just creepy.

Cody: Sheep
Refer to DJ's for traits

Eva: Dragon
Refer to Geoff and take out the enthusiastic adaptable and original traits and emphasize the negative traits.

Owen: Pig
Refer to Bridgette, Trent, Or Beth. This is for obvious reasons in the characteristics.

Courtney: Tiger
This one was a no-brainer as well and here's why;
-enthusiastic, optimistic, courageous, bold, sociable, and energetic
-volatile, impulsive, hot-headed, restless, disobedient, vain, and stubborn
The only trait people might have an argument to disagree on would probably be impulsive, considering how far ahead Courtney plans but let's not forget that when Courtney's short fuse goes off, she does some pretty impulsive things, though she'd probably say it was improvising.

Justin: Rat
-charismatic, sociable, intelligent, affable, quick-witted, and popular
-exploitative, calculative, secretive, greedy, acquisitive, and devious
though not exactly intelligent or quick-witted, he exhibits the other traits pretty clearly.

Izzy: Nope...I've got nothing...she doesn't really fit any of them well enough to put her in that grouping.

So some fit into alot of the same groups though are vastly different. Here's the reason, these aren't perfect. It's simply the ones who exhibit the most traits. Your Chinese horoscope isn't necessarily completely how you are correct? Neither will these be however I do want to add in three more characters...

Alejandro: Rat
Add in intelligent and quick-witted and refer to Justin for the other traits.

Chris: horse
though definitely not friendly and seriously not refined, he remains similar to the horse horoscope. Refer to Katie and Sadie and Leshawna to see the other traits.

Chef hatchet: Dragon
solely based on the negative traits and the valiant and self-assured traits. Refer to Eva and Geoff for the other traits.

Okay what did you think? I know this was a pretty lame post and I'll admit, I've been avoiding posting any spoilers or predictions I have for the All-stars season but next post will definitely have it!

Fan art:
Due to the fact that I get these images off the internet, I can never know who the true artist is. But if you know who the true artist is, please let me know so I can give them credit. I think this is a really cool style and whoever created this is truly talented.
