TV Reality Show Contestant

The Resume

    (circa 1991- )
    Resides in Katy, Texas
    Seventh juror in Survivor: South Pacific
    Nephew of Russell Hantz
    Oil tanker crewman, Hantz Tankering (Guess who his boss is?)

Why he might be annoying:

    In his first confessional, he compared being Russell's nephew to being Hitler's nephew.
    Day One, he vowed to never reveal that he is Russell's nephew but, a few days later, he broke down and confessed.
    Bad enough tattoos – one with a steer head on his chest – but why one that says ‘Hantz’ (which he revealed to the entire Upolu in the third episode)?
    Instead of titling him by his profession, Survivor: titled him as 'Russell Hantz' Nephew.'
    He regarded Mikayla as a threat simply because she was attractive and athletic looking.
    In a twins-themed challenge, he painted a blue bikini top on himself to match Edna outfit.
    Coach and Albert pretended to find the Hidden Immunity Idol (for the first time) as they feared Brandon would react badly to their having the already found idol kept a secret from him.
    Eventually Coach referred to him as a loose cannon and ticking time bomb (and when Coach, of all people, thinks you’re crazy…).
    He pulled an Erik Reichenbach by giving up his hard-won Immunity Idol to Albert in the Day 35 Tribal Council and ended up getting voted out.
    His father – Russell's brother Sean – expressed disbelief that he would play an ‘honor’ game rather than focus on the big bucks.

Why he might not be annoying:

    He loves his infamous uncle with all his heart.
    At only 19, he was already a married father.
    During the Upolu portion, he received the tortured soul/paranoiac edit.
    In the classic weights challenge, he and Jim broke the record held previously by Tocantins' JT and Brendan and Pearl Islands' Rupert by holding 220 pounds.
    During a Coach confessional, Survivor showed a spliced a scene of Brandon's walking in the woods with Russell's walking along the beach (from Season 20), giving viewers chills.
    He immediately came to John's defense following the tie-breaking re-vote that saw Keith get sent off (John feared the purple rock scenario).
    He is the first second-generation Survivor contestant.
