Brandon is a piece of shit. I don't think we should blame Phillip for Brandon's horrible behavior.
Remember when Brandon was on the show before, he was all about being a Christian and praying to Jesus, etc. What happened to that. Phony piece of shit.
Why is it that people who have the least to be proud of are so pumped up with pride? That's how Brandon is, soooooo proud. Of what? Being an asshole? I bet he slaps his wife around, I really do. He's fits the personality type that does that.
He's one of those little men with a Napolean complex. Always trying to prove himself. I think we all know what set Brandon off...in the reward challenge, Phillip was able to hold on to the end and win the challenge for the Favorites. Brandon crapped out. He resented Phillip for being the winner that Brandon would like to be...but isn't.
That's my take. I'm glad Brandon is gone and I gained a lot of respect for Phillip for the way he controlled himself in the face of Brandon's nonsense. He walked away, not because he was afraid, but because he knew that's what he needed to do. When Brandon was badmouthing him to the other tribe, he stood tall and silent until Jeff asked him for feedback. I think he may really have been a special agent. He's a smart guy, and he is really physically fit.
He's becoming one of my favorites.
Actually, it would be really fun to watch him beat the crap out of Brandon, and I'm pretty sure he could do it.
