He compares himself to Tom Westman (winner, <i>Survivor: Palau<\/i>) and Jeremy Collins (winner, <i>Survivor: Cambodia<\/i>), both smart older male players who used their non-confrontational leadership approach to earn the trust of their tribemates. If he plays a similar game, then he could have his name on that million dollar check, because alpha males who make it to the final tribal council tend to earn a lot of jury votes. However, if he is bossy or controlling at all, like Hunter Ellis (14th place, <i>Survivor: Marquesas<\/i>), he could easily ostracize himself.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-301\" src=\"https:\/\/www.fantasysurvivorgame.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/02\/bamboo-bar.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"340\" height=\"12\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.fantasysurvivorgame.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/02\/bamboo-bar.png 340w, https:\/\/www.fantasysurvivorgame.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/02\/bamboo-bar-300x11.png 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 340px) 100vw, 340px\" \/><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">Bottom line: Despite his age, Brendan could easily endear himself to his tribe and make it to the end, which would make him a good Sole Survivor pick or even a solid draft pick. However, will he be able to get his hands dirty? And will he isolate himself if he tries to boss around his tribemates? <\/span><\/p>\n<div style=\"background-color: #aaa; padding: 1em; margin: 0;\"><script async src=\"\/\/pagead2.googlesyndication.com\/pagead\/js\/adsbygoogle.js\"><\/script><ins class=\"adsbygoogle\" style=\"display: block; background-color: transparent text-align:center;\" data-ad-layout=\"in-article\" data-ad-format=\"fluid\" data-ad-client=\"ca-pub-0829502378061333\" data-ad-slot=\"8405344495\"><\/ins><script>(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({});<\/script><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: right; margin: 0; padding: 0; font-size: xx-small; position: relative; top: -2em; margin-bottom: -3em;\">Ads By Google<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Though Brendan is one of the oldest players this season at 41, among the older players, he may&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":4,"featured_media":328,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[10],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-405","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-draft-assessment","content-wrap"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.fantasysurvivorgame.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/405","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.fantasysurvivorgame.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.fantasysurvivorgame.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.fantasysurvivorgame.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/4"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.fantasysurvivorgame.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=405"}],"version-history":[{"count":3,"href":"https:\/\/www.fantasysurvivorgame.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/405\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":439,"href":"https:\/\/www.fantasysurvivorgame.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/405\/revisions\/439"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.fantasysurvivorgame.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/328"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.fantasysurvivorgame.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=405"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.fantasysurvivorgame.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=405"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.fantasysurvivorgame.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=405"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
