Survivor: South Pacific
In "I Need Redemption", Brandon provided little to no help on the reward challenge. Despite this, his teammates show no mallice for his indifference. Brandon is shown to be especially insecure about revealing his tattoo which reveals his last name and thus links him to his uncle--a former contestant--which he feels that his teammates will frown upon. His is especially careful of keeping his shirt on (litertally), even when he is fishing. Despite his consistant hiding, Coach ultimately found one tattoo on his neck. Fortuneately for Brandon, Coach only found the one on his neck (Loco)which was difficult for Brandon to hide without wearing his bandana around his neck. When questioned, Brandon reveals that he had tattooed his neck in High school because he was "young and stupid" despite him being only ninteen years old. Almost immediately afterwards, Brandon firmly reveals that he puts God in front from then on and because of this, he finds Mikayla;s "flaunting" quiet insulting when in reality she just has huge breasts which appearantly bounces when she moves due to her athletic nature. Brandon, for some strange reason, stalks her and stares at her anxiously while she builds the shelter. He justifies this in an interview when he implies that women should have very distinct manners based upon what his worldview teaches, and evidentally Mikayla is definetly not that idea.

In the immunity challenge, Brandon was much more supportive, probably becasue he was part of the challenge instead of just moral support, and goes as far as squelching during the coconut-toss. His team has won immunity and he was never seen again in the entire episode.
