Survivor: Samoa
Brett arrived in Samoa and was placed on the purple tribe of Galu. He had little camera time before the merge, mostly he was doing yoga with the "90210" clique, and enjoying the fruits of Galu's impressive winning streak.
After the merge, Brett was the one to name the merged tribe Aiga. He remained loyal to Galu, but agreed to vote out Erik Cardona. He later tried to strategize with John Fincher to keep Laura Morett in the game, but to no avail. Galu tribemate Shambo Waters flipped and he watched as one by one as his purple comrades were eliminated by the Foa Foa Four plus Shambo until the target was put on his back by Russell Hantz for easily being able to win the votes of the then all-Galu Jury.
However, Brett managed to win immunity, and Monica Padilla was sent home. As the last remaining "true-Galu", he was quickly outnumbered by the Foa Foa Four. However, as cracks started to appear within the alliance, he quickly befriended Mick Trimming and Natalie White. He kept the spirit of Galu alive by winning two more Immunity Challenges, forcing the Foa Foa Four to vote out Shambo and Jaison Robinson. At the Final Immunity Challenge, Brett was defeated by Russell H. and while Russell after asked him if he knew how to make fire, and considered forcing a tie and firemaking challenge with Mick, the trio of Mick, Russell, and Natalie stuck together and voted Brett and he was eliminated, becoming the final jury member.
At Final Tribal Council, Brett asked Mick what a "bro date" would be like with him to see to what level Mick invested in Brett as a human being. Mick's answer was disappointing and unconvincing and he lost Brett's vote. Brett voted for Natalie to be the Sole Survivor, because of the friendship they had formed and his rivalry with Russell H.
In the live Reunion Show, the jury revealed that Brett would have won had he made it to the final three.
