Also, since that Bradley write-up was tragic, I've decided to borrow a page out of Rob's playbook and give him the write-up he ~deserves~.

Name: Bradley Kleihege Aliases: Kim Spradley & Boston Sob Placement: Final Pre-Juror Occupation: "Fantastic" Lawyer Self-Evaluation: A+

"Bradley constantly talks down to me like he's above me and above everyone in this game." "Bradley is a pain in the ass to be around." "With Bradley, I just have to suck it out and smile and bat my eyes at him." "It just makes me sick that someone like Bradley is going to stay in this game." "Bradley, specifically, just cries about everything. It's unbelievable."

Bradley is a very unique Survivor castaway in the sense that it's very apparent that he wanted to be seen as a villain. He wanted people to hate him because he was ruling the game with an iron fist and wasn't afraid of reminding his inferior competitors that he was the one in control. Instead, he ended up being a completely different kind of villain; a whiny, delusional, mastermind wannabe that had virtually no true power in the game whatsoever. <333

We were introduced to this lovely castaway on Naviti. For 6 days, it was here he found himself at home, managing to wiggle himself into the majority alliance. Of course, since this is Ghost Island we're talking about, none of this important early alliance-building was actually shown, because learning that Kellyn was divorced is obviously a more important use of time, apparently. However, from what we did see of Bradley, it was evident that he was enjoying himself on Naviti, fully embracing the beautiful beach he was fortunately placed on. All was well in the world of Bradley...

...until the first tribe swap comes along. A superfan of the game, Bradley had expected such a twist, but this did not mean he was anywhere near pleased with it. After drawing an orange buff, Bradley was heartbroken to be leaving the luxurious Naviti beach, unsure whether the mysterious Malolo beach would be able to hold up. Much to his dismay, the new camp was, for lack of a better word, a slump. And Bradley had no issues voicing his opinion about this, much to the annoyance of the 4 original Malolos who spent so much time trying to make it as comfortable as possible. Even something as breath-taking as a sunrise was just not the same for Bradley. Quite simply, it was better back at Naviti.

The one thing going -right- for Bradley was that he had the numbers. The Naviti Five were able to pluck off fan faves Brendan and Stephanie back-to-back and Bradley couldn't be more pleased with himself. It was very Kim Spradlin-like, he thought, managing to keep all his ducks in a row and tell them who to vote off. The fact that Chelsea and Desiree were the respective conspirators of those vote-offs was irrelevant, in the eyes of Bradley, HE was the true kingpin! He just had one wish... to be back at Naviti.

And thankfully, his wish came true! A second tribe swap came just at the right time for Bradley, returning once more to his rightful home at Naviti. At this point, things really couldn't be better for Bradley. His new tribe was on a winning streak, he was enjoying the luxuries of Naviti, he even had the numbers! There was just one issue. In his own words: "For me the hardest test out here is like not to be a total dick because historically in my personal life that's been what derails it all." And who can blame him? Donathan was taking FOREVER to start cooking those kebabs! His frustrations carried over to the next challenge, barking orders at his minions. To his dismay, they lost, and his arrogant ways came back to bite him when his own alliance decided to turn on him. A fitting, but tragic, end to our Naviti powerhouse.

To conclude, I leave you with this:

In terms of this game, I think maybe I’m a little better than I thought I was  - Well, I thought I was fantastic, but maybe I actually am as fantastic as I think because I think I’m playing an A+ game.

-- when will your faves receive this kind of downfall confessional?
