Brandon Quinton was one of Survivor's early openly gay contestants and a charismatic figure in Africa's younger Samburu alliance. His game turned on a secret deal with Lex — one that led him to flip on his own Samburu tribe and help blindside Boran's Kelly Goldsmith in a tight 5-4 vote.
The maneuver bought him no safety; branded untrustworthy by both sides, he was blindsided the very next round, finishing eighth as the second juror. He never played again.
