Brendan Knight

Brendan was a castaway on Essential Survivor: 
==Togo==
Many came into the game thinking Brendan wasn’t going to be too much of a contender in the long run. But despite his somewhat early exit, he proved that his social skills could be put to use in the game. In the end, he got screwed over by his own ally’s wrong intuition. Let’s talk about it.
During the pre-swap phase of the game, Brendan arguably had the best social game out of the 18. Evidenced by himself being in tight good graces with everyone and being integrated into the two main alliances on the Tchamba tribe alongside Gabe. So they finally decided to stick with the side that had Bandit and Jack, only problem was that Leetah saved herself with an idol and sent Bandit packing. Much to Brendan’s confusion. So although Brendan was in a tough spot, Jack took more heat than he did surprisingly and Brendan wasn't in as much hot water anymore. When the next challenge began, Brendan volunteered to represent Tchamba, and after lasting around 4 hours, he secured his tribe immunity. Helping his social position even more. But on the flipside, this is where he began to question Jack slightly.
When the tribe dissolve came, Brendan was pretty satisfied with his new tribe on Kabre. Clicking with both Kalina and Aidan fairly quickly and even after a couple days, he realized that he was in the good graces of everyone except Jay. Which was indeed true. So by the time New Kabre finally lost a challenge, Brendan’s name wasn’t even in consideration while him and Jack’s target remained on Drew. But, being a tad bit extra, him and Jack buttered up Drew and Liz before the blindside. Making it oddly noticeable as the votes were being read. Aidan caught onto this and held onto this info… until he called out Brendan for it. Of course, he deflected the accusation and lied right back.
Now, we’ve hit the merge and this is where Brendan’s social game doesn’t really hold up. After the unprecedented Douglas quitting fiasco, Kalina had won the next immunity. At this point of the game, there were two sides and Brendan was in the minority. But Gabe had figured out that their target was himself, so Ben would use his idol on Gabe. But when they switched the target to Brendan. Brendan began to freak out as his alliance wanted to cause a tie and pile their votes on Aidan. Regardless, Ben lended Brendan his Legacy Advantage for Brendan to use. But when the other side switched their target and Zach stole Gabe’s vote. Jack was blindsided, Brendan wasted a Legacy Advantage and the other side had supposedly gained numbers. Their only issue was Jay.
The more Brendan thought about the game, the more he considered flipping to the majority to save his own butt. But as the Council became closer and closer Gabe’s side began to panic about what to do. So when Tribal Council came, despite Brendan’s pleas for Gabe to use his idol on him. He instead uses it for himself, leaving Brendan to get voted out 5-3-2.
