Tribe History
The Brains tribe of Luzon, consisting of David Samson, Garrett Adelstein, J'Tia Taylor, Kass McQuillen, Tasha Fox and Spencer Bledsoe entered the game on a helicopter, were later they met with the other tribes. As Jeff Probst briefed the tribes, he also announced that they would elect a tribe leader. The tribe chose David as the tribe leader, and ends up picking Garrett as the weakest player because of David's perception of Garrett being a "double threat". After Garrett was chosen as the weakest member of the tribe, Probst announced that he (and the other weakest members chosen by the other tribe leaders) would be sent to the camp through a plane. As Garrett arrived at camp, there were instructions attached to the tribe flag in which he would have to choose between getting a clue for a Hidden Immunity Idol or giving an extra sack of rice for the tribe. He chose to get the clue, where he eventually found it in the camp. At the combined Reward/Immunity Challenge, the Brains fell behind in the obstacle course and can not gain ground against the other tribes, and became the first tribe to go to Tribal Council. Later that day, David and Kass decided who they want to vote out -- David wanted Garrett, while Kass wanted J'Tia, and eventually decided to go against J'Tia. However, Kass openly told J'Tia she would be next. Due to this, J'Tia told Tasha about it, who she then told Garrett, and the three decided to target David. Spencer is then approached by Garrett in voting for David, but Spencer is worried that David might have the idol and thinks voting for J'Tia is the best option. At Tribal Council, Garrett cleared his throat after deciding not to play the idol. David, the initial leader, is blindsided by a vote of 4-2.

After that Tribal Council, Kass is blindsided by the ousting of David, but is approached by Garrett and Spencer that they want her on their side since the males could be in trouble if Kass joins the other women. The Brains had a big lead against the Beauty tribe and were fighting against the Brawn for first in the reward/immunity challenge, but J'Tia struggled at the puzzle and lost the challenge. Garrett is able to get Kass' opinion on the voting scheme since she is the potential tiebreaker. This strategy is perhaps similar to what the majority alliance of Galang tribe of last season, but this frustrates Tasha because she wants to be able to discuss voting plans and potentially get Garrett out. Without thinking about the possible blindside against Garrett, J'Tia dumps the rice into the fire. At the tribal council, Garrett fumbles at making sure the target stays on J'Tia. J'Tia's outburst is not enough and Garrett ends up being blindsided by a vote of 3-2 with him having a hidden immunity idol. He states that he left the Luzon Idol back at camp in his final words confessional.

After the second tribal council, J'Tia and Tasha locks in Kass as an all-women alliance. Brains is able to not lose their 3rd consecutive challenge.

They lose the reward challenge in Our Time to Shine. They lose their third immunity challenge, while most of the Brawn tribe were trying to throw the challenge. Kass and Tasha tolled with the idea of keeping a loyal vote but weak challenge competitor and unpredictable J'Tia or keep a alliance outsider but challenge competitor Spencer. J'Tia is voted off 3-1.
