Survivor South Pacific Brandon Hantz

Last night on Survivor South Pacific we get more of rantings and craziness from Brandon Hantz, our first Redemption Island dual and a pretty awesome Immunity Challenge.  Christine wakes up Semhar and doesn’t seem to understand why Coach wanted her gone so badly.  (Maybe because you couldn’t keep your thoughts to yourself and had to run that trap on more than one occassion.)  Coach and Stacy from Upolu with Ozzy and Elise from Savaii head to RI to watch their former tribe members battle it out for a chance to stay in the game.  Semhar in her odd fashion has to quote some spoken word in order to prepare for the competition against Christine.  In the challenge straight from Russell Hantz’s play book the two ladies put a totem on top of a pole and must balance it as they add sections to the pole to make it longer.  To no ones surprise and Coach’s disgusted look, Christine easily beats Semhar and is returned to RI to await the next evicted player.

Back at Upolu Brandon is once again wrestling with demons and says God is chastising him for lying.  He decides to come clean with his tribe and let them all know he is actually Russell’s nephew, a decision that leaves Coach shaking his head in bewildered wonder.  Brandon says he had a relapse of what his Uncle used to do.  IMO, Brandon needs to quit running from who he is and accept that he’s a Hantz and learn to live with it.

Over at Savaii, Ozzy, in Russell like fashion, can’t keep his idol a secret any longer and must tell someone.  He reveals this to Keith in hopes that Keith will see the trust Ozzy has for him.  This play seems to backfire when Keith runs to Whitney and tells her but makes her promise not to tell anyone else.  Keith and Whitney do not like the fact that Ozzy now has all the power.

The fun begins over at Upolu when Mikayla confronts Brandon and asks why he doesn’t like her.  Brandon, who is becoming dangerously close to being the biggest moron to ever play the game, has an outburst and brings in the entire tribe and asks what they all think of Mikayla.  He tells everyone to keep him out of the drama.  Ummmm hello Brandon??  Knock Knock.  Is anyone home?  YOU are the cause of the drama.  Geez with this guy.  Coach is once again shaking his head like WTH!  LOL

The immunity/reward challenge rocks this week.  One person races across a floating bridge carrying a body board attached to a long rope which the tribe feeds him as he runs.  Once they get to a platform, they grab a bag and jump in the water while the rest of the tribe cranks a giant wench and pulls him back to shore.  Once all five bags are back to shore, two remaining players must snag the bags with grappling hooks and bring up the bags which are puzzle banners.  Ozzy and Brandon race first and Brandon easily wins as the Savaii tribe did not feed Ozzy enough rope to make it across the bridge.  The teams are neck in neck but Coach proves why he is awesome when he grabs the five bags and with the help from his team gets the puzzle put together first.  Upolu wins Immunity and a nice reward of coffee, tea, milk, cookies etc.

Back at Savaii the plan is to get out Papa Bear but they lie and tell him they are voting out Cochran.  He realizes he is going home so searches for the individual immunity idol not knowing that Ozzy has already claimed it.  He makes a fake idol in hopes of fooling everyone into keeping him.  At tribal council Jeff picks on the nerdy Cochran who says he is trying to prove himself at camp and in challenges.  Papa Bear pops in saying that physically Cochran is a threat to himself.  He also says the five are in control and Dawn and Cochran will be the next two out.  In the end, Papa Bear is sent to RI to battle it out with Christine.  I hope Papa Bear can prove himself worthy and beat Christine in the next dual.

How did you feel about Brandon’s outburst and Papa Bear getting sent to join Christine on Redemption Island?

  1. i think brandon is a total nut case… get rid of him fast… hes not even interesting enough to liven up the show (if thats what they thought he would do) even with all his lying and back stabbing… granted the first couple shows were ok but even he isnt enough to keep the interest going… somebody needs to serve him cheese with all that whine… and ozzy falling off the float board… rookie mistake… and cost them the game… (dont go ozzy)… the rest are just there… no real interest in any of them… nobody standing out in the crowd to route for… zzzzzzzzzzzzzzz

  5. In all honesty, I never disliked RussHell. He was entertaining to watch and the guy could play the game – or at least his brand of GAME. I never thought he was the brightest bear in the woods, but he did have a lot of “street smarts”, in my opinion. His nephew, on the other hand, should have paid more attention to his uncle’s game play. Brandon is a total waste of space, unlikable and much too immature to be playing with the big boys. He would never have been cast for Survivor had it not been for his last name. To make matters worse, he is getting much too much face time which keeps me from getting to know the other castaways. Rumor in chatterland calls for him to be medivaced out of the game – just a rumor and I wish the kid no harm, but can’t wait for this kid to leave the island.

  6. i guess this explains a lot … from twitter….

    RT @Missaylen thanks for survivor recap. why are the water challenges toned down?

    EWDaltonRoss Dalton Ross
    Combination of location and budget issues.

    i knew it wasnt up to standard and now we know why…

    come on survivor…. get back up to standard….

  8. btw i dropped coach and cochran on twitter… cochran is a nerdy there as he is on the show… and all coach talks about is the college where he works … not interesting….

  10. hi Sparky, i just dropped by to say hi and let u know that there are ”some” others in here, but i wonder where’s everyone??? seems they lost interest!
    anyway, personnaly i don’t feel that wowed by the show till now, i am watching out of curiousity
    the one thing that made me furious is Ozzy’s stupid move telling Keith about the idol, other than that nothing much to talk about :p
    have a nice day :-)

  16. I am sure that the only embarrassed Hantz is Russell for having a paranoid fool for a nephew. This little boy has demons and I wish him gone..too bad he is in Coach’s alliance. Happy that the red team lost the challenge cuz I am not digging anyone on that tribe except for Ozzy. Keith is a blabber mouth and cannot be trusted, hope Ozzy finds out before it is too late.

  17. Please vote out Brandon, the little boy has to many demons!!!
    Come on just get rid of him!! Keeping him will come back and bite them in the a*&!!!! Just saying!

  18. Don’t really like the new way of posting comments here. The old one was more organized. Okay, back to Survivor…

    Please get rid of Brandon. He’s psycho. I feel so sorry for Mikayla (sp?). I hope she gets far and hope Brandon will get voted off soon. I’m so tired of him yapping “i’m christian..good vs evil. yada yada”. DELUSIONAL. Somebody get this pyscho a mirror so he can take a long hard look at his self.

  19. That’s what I’ve been saying about Keith
    Hope Ozzy wakes up soon to realize he not trustworthy imo

  21. This whole season is getting pretty tiresome because of Brandon! That was a bad idea to have him on Survivor. His whole sick thing with Macayla and the fact he thinks of himself as a Christian is so bad. Can’t they vote him out and get rid of him? Several of my friends , my husband and myself do not like it at all.

  22. a spoiler from jeff probst….

    JP: We revisit a classic challenge and at least one Survivor has a chance to break a record set years ago by Rupert “America’s Choice” Boneham.

  23. I’ve been meaning to make another comment. Why did they quit having the tribe members eat wierd slimy things, spiders, slugs? Like someone said before, I like the immunity and reward challanges like they had them before.

  28. Sparky enjoy your tweets ! remember the last guy to win individual immunity when competing with FOUR women, Natalie Bolton, Cirie, Amanda and Parvati wasted no time in getting Erik Reichenbach Falls to fall for Natalie and give her the necklace at tribal council, prompting James Clement to relinquish his title of stupidest Survivor which James won by having TWO unplayed idols while being voted out ??

  30. Foggy, maybe it is because Solitary 4.0 copyrighted contestants vomiting on camera :) or was that RobRob who was the Cochran of Solitary [memorized every minute of every Solitary show, well the two seasons before RobRob played anyway] and RobRob still LOST in the finals, and the final winner of the dead Solitary franchise was a young women who played high school football on the boy’s team and defeated two men for the $50,000 !!

  31. What the hell is wrong with Brandon? Is he on leave from some psycho ward? As much as I distained his uncle, he at least seemed to have a brain, even if it was evil. This BS about being such a good Christian is so absurd, it’s laughable. If he’s a Christian, I’ll take a pagan any day!

  32. I am very dissatisfied and disappointed with this new posting procedure so I’m leaving this thread. I’ll miss all the fun folk and I’ll read it from time to time but no more posting. It’s just dumb and hard to read on the iPhone, by the time a third “reply” is posted, the whole thing is on the right and only one word per line can be seen so it’s not enjoyable to read at all so I’m done. Thanks to Matt and Chloe for Survivor and BB recaps and good insight and I wish all posters well. Go Ozzy and Brandon, seek help.
    Cheers!!!!
    O’neill

  34. Is it possible to change the posting procedure back to the way it was? If it ain’t broken… I also don’t post as often as I used to and I don’t visit as often as before because of the new comments format. It’s not that I don’t like change —- if it’s for the better, why not? Don’t like that I have to keep typing my username when I post. Anyways, thanks for all the BB and survivor recap. Much appreciated.

  36. There were challenges on the backside of the sites which makes this change a “fix it” for us. Then rolling it out across all our sites, like this one, gives a uniform method for commenting.

    You don’t have to write in your info each time if you don’t want to. You can either use an existing Google, Yahoo, Twitter, or Facebook account login for verification. If you’d rather not do that then you can create a free Disqus.com account that will keep you logged in no matter what site you’re on. It’s wonderful to arrive at many of my favorite sites and find they’re already using the Disqus system and I’m logged in and ready to comment.

  39. I agree with you totally. He should know better by now not to trust anyone. What ever happened to the romance that he had with Amanda on a previous survivor show.?
