(+/-) Grant Mattos ~ S22: Redemption Island

Oct 12, 2016 by BlueBarracuda

Grant is a former NFL player who appeared as a castaway on Survivor: Redemption Island. He was a part of the Stealth R Us alliance on Ometepe, led by Boston Rob, but he was betrayed by Rob and his allies for being a threat when he became the 15th person voted out and the 11th person eliminated from Redemption Island, where he was the 5th jury member.

• Placement: 8th out of 18 | Challenge Wins: 6 | Votes Against: 10 | Days Lasted: 36
• Right away he found himself in the majority alliance with Rob, Natalie, Ashley, Andrea, and originally Matt (who was later replaced by Phillip); Phillip later named the alliance Stealth R Us and named Matt "The Assassin"
• He immediately formed a close bond with Rob early in the game and the two consulted with each other with their strategy
• The 6 held strong and their tribe went on a winning streak
• Upon the merge, Matt re-entered the game from Redemption Island, and he decided to rejoin the Ometepe’s, giving them the numbers
• Immediately at the merge, the Zapatera tribe targeted Grant because he was the biggest threat and tried to get Matt and Andrea to flip, but were unsuccessful, only getting 5 votes against Grant vs. Matt’s 6 (Matt himself believed they were voting for Steve)
• One by one, Ometepe picked off the Zapatera tribe and sent them to Redemption Island, even with the Zapaterea’s pleading Grant and the girls to vote out Phillip or Rob at various points of time
• Steve warned Grant and reminded him how Rob betrayed his allies in the past, citing Lex van den Berghe in All Stars, and told all the Ometepe’s the Rob was gonna take Phillip to the end as a goat
• When it was just the Ometepe 6 left, he joined his allies in taking out Andrea
• Down to 5, when Ashley secured herself with immunity, Grant was blindsided and voted out, for being a huge threat to win the game and a huge threat to go on an immunity run; Rob himself convinced Grant that Natalie was going home
• He came in last in a duel against Mike, Matt, and Andrea, which dropped his placement to 8th and sent him to the jury
• Despite his betrayal, Grant ultimately voted for Rob; the jury confirmed that had Grant made final 3, he would’ve won the game; despite voting for him, Grant and Rob have not spoke since the reunion taped and they had a falling out
• After the show, he married Canadian actress Christina Cox and they have a daughter
• Like fellow castaway from RI Steve Wright, Matt was a NFL player, playing as a wide receiver for the San Diego Chargers
• Grant is really good friends with Natalie Bolton from Survivor: Micronesia – FvF and she was a major reason he auditioned for the show and got on
• Grant was considered for Survivor: Caramoan - Fans vs. Favorites 2

If you like the castaway, plus (+), if you don't, neg (-). Use your own criteria. Make sure you vote in all the polls on the blogs to the left. Let me know if you want to be tagged (or untagged).
