Brandon Hantz Biography
Brandon Hantz is also known by his birth name: Brandon Keith Hantz is a contestant from Survivor: South Pacific and Survivor: Caramoan.
Hantz was a member of the Upolu Tribe, which would soon be joined by returning player Coach Wade. Within the first three days, he became a member of a majority alliance in Upolu consisting of himself, Coach, Sophie Clarke, Albert Destrade, and Rick Nelson.
He hid the fact he was the nephew of former player Russell Hantz “going as far as to wearing his shirt covering the upper portion of his back where he had a Hantz tattoo while he was fishing”, but ended up seeing it as too much of a burden to keep to himself, and told Coach on Day 4.
Although he starts to explain and struggle more and more with his personal beliefs, he remained loyal to the Upolu 5. When only the members of the original Upolu 5 remained, Brandon was the target for the Tribal Council but surprised everyone when he won his first Individual Immunity.
Later on, Albert was called out on his deceit by Sophie, Brandon, and Rick. However, Brandon later made amends with Albert before Tribal Council, and gave up his immunity to Albert, feeling that he owed him. Brandon found himself betrayed by his allies in a 3-2 vote.
At the final Redemption Island duel, despite putting up a good fight against Ozzy Lusth, he was beaten and became the seventh member of the jury. At the Final Tribal Council, Brandon was mainly bitter towards Albert, asking him if he knew if he was going home and only wanted a yes or no answer.

Brandon Hantz Caramoan
He returned for a second time as one of the ten past players comprising the Bikal Tribe. He also developed a close bond with tribemates Francesca Hogi, Erik Reichenbach, and Brenda Lowe, ultimately joining their alliance.
After Bikal lost the first Immunity Challenge, he began to gun for tribemate Andrea Boehlke, believing her to be a dangerous player in the game and believing former South Pacific castmates Dawn Meehan and John Cochran to be on their side. However, that was not the case as his ally Francesca was voted out in a 6-4 decision.
Angered by the idea of how cold the majority alliance was for voting out Francesca first for a second time, Brandon flirted with the idea of borrowing some ideas from his uncle Russell by sabotaging his tribe by, such as urinating on their rice but managed to restrain himself.
Phillip Sheppard, the head of the Stealth R Us 2.0, adopted Brandon to his alliance, and like everyone from the alliance, Phillip christened him by giving him his code name, “The Conqueror.” Brandon and the rest of the Favorites would remain unbeatable in challenges, winning the next five.
Over the course of his time on the island, he developed a rivalry with Phillip, after the latter referred to him as “middle management”. Brandon retaliated by saying that Phillip was the biggest bully he had ever met in front of the other tribe members.
On Day 13, the rivalry between the two came to a head when Phillip and Brandon got into an argument following their Reward Challenge win. Brandon apologized to Phillip for losing his cool.
However, shortly before the Immunity Challenge, Brandon confronted tribemate Andrea and learned that Phillip was still considering voting him out, despite making amends. Phillip and Brandon got into another argument, resulting in Brandon pouring out Bikal’s rice and beans as a way to legitimise his elimination, much to the shock of his tribemates.
Though Erik attempted to take the bag of beans away, he was ignored by Brandon, who began taunting Phillip to fight him as he walked away. Dawn Meehan also tried to calm Brandon down but to no avail.
Shocked by Brandon’s mercurial personality, Phillip and the other Favorites leaned towards forfeiting the upcoming Immunity Challenge outright so they can vote Brandon out.
At the Immunity Challenge, Brandon launches a tirade against his tribemates, telling the Fans that he was their “second chance” before taking the opportunity to continue bashing Phillip, telling the fans about Stealth R Us and that the code names Phillip had given everyone were demeaning.
Also, he insulted Corinne Kaplan for trying to be nice to the Fans when they clearly didn’t respect them. Jeff called Brandon over to him to cool Brandon down after manifesting intentions to physically harm anyone
However, he got into another argument with Phillip, prompting Jeff to calm him down again. Regardless, Bikal forfeited the challenge anyway, and right there and then, the Favorites verbally voted Brandon out, 8-1.
