Final Words

	Brandon	“	I may have lost Survivor, but I did it. I didn't give up, I made it all the way here, and I would've liked to stay longer, I would've liked to have won something; something would've been ideal. But otherwise, I got to authentically live my childhood dream, and I don't know a lot of people that can say that. You have to come do this. Hopefully you end up doing better than I did by a little bit, but otherwise you will have the most incredible time of your life.	”
