Survivor: Why Brandon went berserk

Now we know what you need to do to get a super shoulder massage from the Jeffmeister. You need to turn into a raving berserko like Brandon on Survivor and you'll score yourself hours of touchy feely loveliness from Jeff.

Wowser. You think you've seen every reality low there is and next thing Poison Dwarf Jnr delivers such a gobsmacking blow you realise that there are unchartered lows you never thought possible.

Why did he do it? What possible motivation could he have had for plunging to the depths of depravity? The only explanation I can think of is that he was driven mad by cowardice and was terrified of being voted off again. He couldn't cope with the prospect of people voting against him, so he took matters into his own hands by turning psycho on his tribe.

The fact that he raved on about how he wanted to be the author of his own fate strongly suggests this too and his antagonism towards Phillip was obviously because he felt the most threatened by him. The way he descended into it was mindboggling. How he started his beef with Phillip and how suddenly it turned into a full-on attack on the whole tribe as he lost perspective more and more.

At first I thought he was staging it and acting to get a response out of everyone but by the end I decided it was real. I suspect it started out with some acting and that things turned very real round about when he threw out the rice.

He literally created his own worst fear.

Interesting how the two loose cannons Brandon and Shemar self-destructed one after the other in different ways. I also think that the pressure to be a villanous Hantz possibly from the producers was too much for Brandon - he does not know how to play this game. And Phillip could have  been alot more diplomatic with him earlier on. Phillip now has an even bigger target on his back and from the previews it seems like the end is nigh for him too.

Finally the loose canon is gone. We all knew this would happen. i hate Phillip and his stealthRus and BostonRobRules so much ( i mean how is he a favourite?). anyways as long as my faves are still there its okay. Brenda, Dawn, Malcolm, Eric,  Andrea

For some fun you can watch this vid. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uaDxLsomLPg It preety much somes up how i feel about this cast.here are absolutely NO spoilers in the comments, only 1 comment really, and the side videos for me there were no spoliers as well most of the vids were about HvV but proceed with the utmost caution.

Its a vid about hitler reacting to the cast selection, i swear its hilarious

Lol thanks for sharing SurvAddict! There have been so many variations of that HItler clip but it doesn't get old ( I remember the one they made when Ben Affleck was cast as Batman). Heheh I see he didn't comment on Phillip. And "Amazing Race fans leave the room!"angel
