Profile
Retrieved from ew.com.

Age: 50
Hometown: Shawnee, WY
Current Residence: Shawnee, WY
Occupation: Rancher
Hobbies: Hunting, fishing, helping others pursue their passion and achieve their dreams
Three Words to Describe You: Spontaneous, Practical, Patient
Pet Peeve: Lack of initiative
What is the accomplishment you are most proud of? My family. I'm very proud of my wife of 21 years and 4 kids.
What is something we would never know from looking at you? I'm a private pilot and enjoy flying. I've nearly died from a rattlesnake bite, been blown up by a propane tank and I like to live life on the edge.
Who is your hero and why? My dad. I worked side by side with him nearly every day my entire life. He was a father, boss and friend and, even after battling cancer for five years, he always kept a positive, generous attitude.
Which past Survivor will you play the game most like? Boston Rob. We don't have the same personality, but his thoughtful, strategic play is how I see myself playing.
Why do you believe you can win Survivor?  I have all the skills of a typical rancher — hard-working, common sense-but I'm completely different because of my social skills. I believe I can build multidimensional alliances and win trust with most people, but with laser vision towards the end goal.

Trivia
Brad is the first castaway on Survivor to reside in Wyoming at the time of filming.

Survivor 41 is the forty-first season of the CBS competitive reality television series Survivor.

Production
Production for Survivor 41 and season 42 were delayed due to the COVID-19 pandemic. As has been the norm since Survivor: Samoa, the seasons were scheduled to be filmed back-to-back beginning in March 2020, but had to be put on hold due to the global outbreak of the coronavirus.[3]

In March 2021, it was announced that production for the two seasons had resumed in Fiji. Due to mobility issues however, the production team modified their protocols to ensure the cast and crew's safety such as using a staggered arrival scheme for the international crew en route to Fiji.[4] For anyone to enter the country, each crew member and contestant had to have a negative Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR) test result and be quarantined for 14 days.[5] Production also collaborated with the Fijian government to establish a safe "bubble" within a chain of islands to be used as base camp, tribe camps, challenge locations and Tribal Council, allowing free movement within the bubble, but prohibiting physical interaction outside of it.

Prior to the Fijian government allowing production to enter, domestically filming both seasons either in Georgia or Hawaii was considered.

In an interview with Rob Cesternino for Rob Has a Podcast on the red carpet premiere of Survivor: Winners at War, host Jeff Probst acknowledged the negative response to the format of the Edge of Extinction twist, as well as its inclusion in that season. Though insisting his personal preference for the Edge of Extinction, Probst revealed that it would not be used for Survivor 41, but did not rule out eventually using it again.[6][7]

Following criticism over a lack of racial diversity in its reality programming, CBS announced in November 2020 that Survivor and its other reality shows must cast at least 50% persons of color beginning with the 2021-2022 television season.[8][9][10] Also, due to an unprecedented incident of inappropriate touching in Survivor: Island of the Idols, beginning this season, new guidelines regarding personal space, inappropriate behavior and how to report violations were imposed. Also, anti-harassment, unconscious bias and sensitivity training were also given to cast and crew members alike pre-production.[11]

Beginning from Seasons 41 and 42, the game was filmed for only 26 days, 13 days shorter than the standard 39-day timeline, presumably due to the production schedule being compromised by quarantine rules.

Twists/Changes
Shorter Game: The game lasted 26 days, 13 days shorter than most seasons.

Trivia
Survivor 41 marks the first time that a country is used nine consecutive times.
Survivor 41 is currently the only season of Survivor to not have a subtitle.
Survivor: Borneo did not have a subtitle when it aired, but was retroactively given one, making this the second season to air without...
