I do agree that appeal to pity works, but so does the "innocent by association," which we can say is just the opposite of the ad hominem (guilt by association). When the source is viewed negatively because of its association with another person or group who is already viewed negatively. Same fallacy, just opposite. The participant is not accused of being guilty of anything, but she is accused of being innocent of not worthy of leaving the island. |

It is a fairly straightforward example of an appeal to pity. Innocent by association does not really fit because she is not actually guilty of anything. It is just the rules of a tv-show requires someone be voted off. |
