Brandon

***Brandon*** is a contestant from *Survivor: Myanmar*. Although he was loved by his tribe for his kindness and integrity, it ultimately made him a target when he was relegated to the minority after being lead to the slaughter by Isabella's half-baked strategy, and he was voted out after Eyal made the shocking decision to flip his vote to avoid drawing rocks.

## Profile

### Survivor: Myanmar

**Name, age, and pronouns:** Brandon, 18, he/him

**How you plan to play Survivor:** Quietly. I'll be like a snake in the grass. They won't see me coming. I won't be on the radar for a while, probably.

**Describe how you would play in three words:** Open-minded, loyal, friendly

**One major goal you have (besides winning):** Making it to the jury. I want to have the experience of being on the jury and asking a question at the end and deciding the winner, if I can't be one of the top three or two.

**One potential hindrance to your game:** I might be so quiet everyone forgets about me if I don't make relationships early on, so I'll have to watch that and make sure people don't vote me off because it's the easiest vote.

**Tribe Designation:**
Pyin Sa

Brandon's game started out quite well on Pyin Sa. He was able to find two close allies in Eyal and Rallin, and they very quickly rose to power on the Pyin Sa Tribe as dynamics started to form. However, despite losing the first Immunity Challenge, the dynamics of the whole tribe remained untested as everyone unified for an easy consensus boot in Sam.

Things began to go south for Brandon after alliances began to grow more solid. In particular, an alliance was created with all of the girls on Pyin Sa except for Isabella, including Matthew as an affiliate. As Brandon, Rallin, and Eyal were not a part of this new alliance, they made the accurate assumption that they were on the bottom of the tribe. However, Isabella, who felt like she had a lot more power in the game than she actually had, proposed to Brandon and his allies that they work with her to eliminate Camryn and move forward as an alliance of four. The boys agreed to this alliance, although they secretly were not very confident that it would work at all.

However, when Pyin Sa lost immunity on Day 8 and had to go to Tribal Council, it was actually Isabella herself who got blindsided, leaving Brandon and his allies on the bottom of the Pyin Sa Tribe. He, like everyone else on the tribe, realized Matthew was in the middle of the tribe, and tried to sway Matthew over to his side. This, however, failed, and Matthew joined with the girls to vote out Isabella, effectively relegating Brandon and his other allies to the majority.

On Day 9, Rallin created an official alliance that involved himself, Brandon, Eyal, and Matthew. Matthew was loyal to this alliance, because they were the first people to pledge official allegiance to him. This gave Brandon hope. When Pyin Sa lost immunity again on Day 11, it seemed set in stone that rocks would be drawn. Brandon, who was perceived as the biggest social threat in the minority, was the girls' target, but he felt relatively comfortable because he thought his allies would go to rocks for him. However, Eyal, who did not want to go to rocks, confessed to the girls that he might flip over to their side in order to avoid a deadlock. When tribal council came around, Eyal originally stuck with his original alliance, but when the vote tied, he flipped over, eliminating Brandon in a 4-2 revote.

#### Voting History
