March 27, 2013 06:15:17 by Ryan Haidet
If you thought Phillip Sheppard was finished feuding with his tribemates after Brandon Hantz had his epic meltdown on Survivor: Caramoan — Fans Vs. Favorites, think again. The budding battle between the self-proclaimed special agent and Corinne Kaplan reached a whole new level. After Matt was booted from the newly formed Bikal tribe, Corinne was hoping to protect Michael — whom she loves to refer to as “the gay” — and was considering booting off somebody from her own alliance to keep him around. But Phillip wasn’t too thrilled that Corinne continued forming a closer bond with Michael, which is why he wanted to vote her out as soon as possible. As Phillip continued bragging about his personal strength and abilities, Corinne found herself increasingly frustrated, even calling him a “tubby lunchbox” at one point. Were they able to see beyond their differences and hold their four-way alliance strong?

Survivor: Caramoan Recap — Tribal Swap Stirs Up The Game
March 20, 2013 06:30:56 by Ryan Haidet
The fallout from Brandon Hantz’s historic meltdown poured into the start of this week’s episode of Survivor: Caramoan — Fans Vs. Favorites. When Bikal was back at camp, Corinne compared Brandon to Mel Gibson and “any other crazy person.” Cochran was pleased, too. “It’s comforting to know that Brandon was able to successfully fly out of the cuckoo’s nest, and now we’re just left with Phillip.” Speaking of the self-proclaimed “Specialist,” Phillip turned the moment into motivation as he high-fived his entire tribe while telling them they have way more strength than the Fans now that Brandon’s disharmony is gone. But just because Brandon was outta there didn’t mean the tension left with him because Phillip was on a new mission to oust Corinne. He called it “Operation Thunderdome.”

Brandon Hantz says he’s a changed man, which is why he wants to play Survivor for a third time. But this time, he wants to go toe-to-toe with his infamous uncle Russell Hantz. He even suggested that he’d be fine with just the two of them duking it out for the entire 39 days through a series of challenges. That was the one component Brandon repeatedly told reporters on a conference call the day the episode aired in which he was vocally voted out by his Bikal tribemates on Survivor: Caramoan — Fans Vs. Favorites. Despite losing his temper and exploding at Phillip Sheppard in the biggest meltdown the show has ever seen, Brandon explained that he doesn’t regret a thing about his time on the show — not even dumping out his tribe’s food.

Brandon also offered insight into more about the argument with Phillip before dishing his feelings about being labeled as a crazy person. Buckle in, folks! This is an interesting interview…
