Brad Lurman

**Bradley Andrew "Brad" Lurman** is a contestant from *Zovivor: The Bahamas*.

The leader of the Abaco tribe's "Leadership" alliance, Brad was a huge presence in the first half of the game. He swung Juanita Carrero and Yamila Archuleta to his side to pick off the opposing Nerd Herd alliance, and then swung Oscar Lacerna to his side after the swap to eliminate the former members of Inagua. At the merge, his bossy attitude and domineering gameplay caught up to him, and the remnants of the Nerd Herd and Inagua banded together to eliminate Brad one round before the jury phase began.

## Survivor

Brandon started *Guatemala* as a member of the Nakúm tribe. The tribes were forced to embark on a trek to determine who would get the better camp site. Nakúm won in a close race, but the hike left all of the men of the tribe besides Brandon weakened and sick, causing them to lose the first Immunity Challenge. Brandon joined his teammates in unanimously ousting the tribe's eldest member, Jim Lynch. The tribe then went on a winning streak, winning the next four consecutive challenges. It was during this time that Brandon became part of the five-member majority alliance of the tribe, along with Bobby Jon Drinkard, Brooke Struck, Danni Boatwright, and Margaret Bobonich.

On Day 9, a tribe shuffle placed Brandon on the Yaxhá tribe, but he was fortunate enough to be part of an old Nakúm majority on the tribe, with the former Nakúm members outnumbering the original Yaxhás, 4-3. His new tribe won the next immunity and Reward Challenges, but lost the following Immunity Challenge. Rather than make the most out of the old Nakúm majority, Brian Corridan convinced Bobby Jon and Danni to vote out fellow ex-Nakúm Blake Towsley. Brandon did not join them for this vote, instead joining Blake in voting for Brian. Blake, however, was voted off.

A double-Tribal Council twist forced both tribes to attend Tribal Council, and this time, Brian was unanimously voted out. Yaxhá won the next Reward Challenge, but lost the Immunity Challenge, unanimously voting out Amy O'Hara.

Right after Amy's exit, the members of Yaxhá were handed new buffs and instructed to head over to Nakúm's camp, as the tribes had merged. Yaxhá was not welcomed with open arms, particularly by Jamie Newton, who made it clear that Nakúm would be eliminating them at the following Tribal Councils. Tree Mail informed the group (which called themselves Xhakúm) that a miniature Immunity Idol was hidden in the Guatemalan jungles, that would grant its owner immunity at any Tribal Council of their choosing up to Day 37. Realizing that he was a target, Brandon searched desperately for the idol, but with no luck. Gary Hogeboom narrowly won the first individual Immunity Challenge, where the players had an opportunity to compete for immunity or feast. Sitting on the sidelines eating, Jamie aggravated the competitors by mocking Bobby Jon. Even Jamie's fellow old Nakúm tribemates were annoyed by his actions, and Rafe Judkins and Cindy Hall both expressed that they'd rather keep Brandon around over Jamie.

At Tribal Council, Brandon could not come up with the Hidden Immunity Idol when asked, and voting proceeded as normal, with only Gary immune. Despite Rafe and Cindy's concerns, they stuck with their Nakúm majority, and Brandon was voted off 6-4.
