Bryan Greenberg

***Bryan*** (more commonly known as **Greenberg**) was a castaway on Essential Survivor: Canary Islands. He later returned for Essential Survivor: Peru.

## Canary Islands

Greenberg is essentially the gruff but good-hearted dude at the bar that got recruited to play Essential. This preseason fan-favorite was not a man of many words. However, when he did speak, he was blunt, somewhat disparaging at some points, but he always meant well.

Greenberg was marooned with the ill-fated Tenerife tribe, where he started bonding very well early with Chelsea, Jon, and Vince. He was then approached by Claire for an alliance of all the people who were collecting bamboo late at night on day 1 called “Bamboozled,” which included both parties alongside Vince and Tai. The first tribal council was extremely easy, where “houseplant” Brenden was a swift boot off, and it ensured that Bamboozled had a clear numbers advantage over everyone in the tribe.

After this tribal he took some time to get into game mode. He caught Claire, and then Jack idol searching, and found Jack even more untrustworthy due to his connection with Tai. These developments were never a focal point for the second tribal council, though, which was more difficult than the first for Greenberg due to his stoner bond with Jon, but at the same time felt that it was a necessary evil to cut him due to his lack of challenge availability.

After a disappointing third immunity challenge loss in a row, Greenberg wanted to target Jack, but that plan was all thrown away when he caught wind of a Vince blindside orchestrated by Claire, making him feel like an “ancillary” tribe member, and building more frustration towards what he calls the sinking ship of Tenerife. Fortunately, everyone compared notes and Claire was voted off in an entertaining tribal council, with Greenberg still feeling remorse after her vote.

Around Tenerife’s fourth challenge loss, Greenberg felt unsure about his positioning in the tribe, thinking that he was near the bottom. Fortunately, at the preceding tribal, he quietly followed the majority to take out his long-awaited target Jack.

Not much development happened with Greenberg after his first challenge win of the season, but he did come up with an idea that at merge, to lie to the La Gomera tribe about an idol being played at a Tenerife Tribal council (preferably the third one to say that Jack played an idol to take out Claire). This plan was considered and liked by the other tribe members, but they were unsure if it could be executed.

The entire tribe was not sure what the hell to do after Tenerife’s fifth challenge loss - at least, from Greenberg’s point of view. He noticed the lack of game talk this round with his tribe mates, adding more concerns to his positioning. He aspired to target Chelsea this round due to her being the most likely to lose firemaking in a tie, but that scenario would never happen, as Greenberg was painfully voted off in a 3-1 vote, ending the Tenerife Slaughter. Despite being frustrated at being voted off (and realizing hours beforehand that his fate was sealed), he wished everyone at Tenerife the best of luck at the merge
