Brandon Donlon has dreamed of being on the show ever since he saw Survivor and Survivor 45 welcomed him as one of the 18 castaways for the 2023 edition. Before witnessing his televised journey on the show, get to know him better.
This biography tries to cover details about his family, girlfriend, height and much more.
Brandon Donlon in Survivor 45
Survivor 45 is back for another installment with 18 new contestants, and one of them is Brandon Donlon. He will compete against his fellow castaways to secure the $1 million grand prize.
Students, lawyers, nurses, bartenders and school administrators are just a handful of the diverse mix of contestants. Of course, veteran host Jeff Probst is back at the helm to push the physical and mental limits of the 18 contestants in intense tribal councils and games. In addition, each episode this season will last 90 minutes instead of an hour, offering viewers a deeper look into the players’ backstories while stranded on the beautiful islands of Fiji, so fans can expect more time to play.
Ahead of the premiere, Parade interviewed him about his preparations and his love for the play, among other things. Brandon watched the show for the first time to impress his teacher and was hooked. Since then, he has made several attempts to be on the show and finally qualified for Survivor 45.
In September 2021, Brandon got the call, but unfortunately he didn’t make it to the 44. But the call in August 2022 changed everything for him and his dream to come on the show became a reality. He told them, “I will die or do this process every year. Whichever comes first. You choose.”
Splitting up a winner and a non-winner he could identify with, Brandon chose Mike White. As for the preparations, he said that he has two membership tires and that he has been swimming a lot. He also credited his sister for getting her a fire pit for Christmas where “every day I kept my flint in there and took it out. I’ve been doing it in my driveway, which makes me look like I’m living like a crazy person. But that was my preparation.”
And he watched a lot of SurvivorGeek content on YouTube.
Brandon doesn’t know how people will perceive him. But he believes his glass might pass off the vibe that he’s a geek. He added: “Since I’m on the plane all the time holding on to the seat, I think maybe I’m serving the anxious energy here. But I’m so curious because everyone is taking notes.”
As for building alliances, Brandon will do it the same way they did in the Breakfast Club movie, “get people on your team who don’t normally connect with each other in terms of the game.”
