Charlie Herschel was the quick-witted corporate attorney of Gabon — a sharp, sardonic New Yorker who became one quarter of the powerful Kota alliance and the inseparable strategic partner (and comic foil) of Corinne Kaplan. Smart and self-aware, he read the game well and helped his group dominate the early going.
But Gabon was the season of wild swings, and when the tribe lines dissolved the Kota power bloc got picked apart from the inside; Charlie was blindsided in ninth, just shy of the merge's endgame. A genuinely funny, underrated player on one of the franchise's most chaotic seasons.
