TENSIONS BOIL, BRANDON VOTED OUT
December 13, 2001
After a tension-packed Tribal Council, Brandon Quinton, the 25-year-old bartender from Dallas, Texas, was voted out of the tribe.
 Brandon's betrayal of his former Samburu allies in the previous Tribal Council--when he cast the deciding vote against Kelly, whom the Samburus had wanted to keep--came back to haunt him as his best friend, Kim Powers, voted with the majority against him. Brandon became the ninth person voted out of Survivor Africa. As Brandon's torch was extinguished, he smiled to the tribe and reminded them, "There's only 12 more days. Have a lot of fun!" ( Brandon's Final Words )
Day 25: Trust
 With Kelly gone after a grueling Tribal Council, "the mood in camp this morning is pretty grim," said Lex. After Brandon's surprising swap of allegiances, the tribe's biggest issue on the morning of day 25 was trust. Brandon's vote against Kelly won him favor with Lex, but lost him the tribe's trust. "I don't really trust him," Ethan confessed. Brandon explained the turn against his group by refusing to align himself with Frank. "I would rather be out of here in 3 days than for anybody back home to say that I had aligned myself with Frank in any way."
While Brandon railed against him, Frank approached Lex to build an alliance. Lex plainly responded, "No way." "Time for him to go," Lex said about Frank. "The guy has just become a pain in my butt." ( Ethan on loyalty )
