Brendan Shapiro is a castaway from Survivor: Ghost Island and was a member of the Malolo tribe.
On Malolo, he was designated as Tribe Leader on Day 1, where he had to pick two people for the opening reward challenge. This leadership role continued on Malolo, where he secured a tight majority, and he led the majorities in voting out Gonzalez and Jacob the first two tribals.
On Day 7, Brendan鈥檚 game was turned upside down when he found himself in the minority after he remained on Malolo in a tribe swap, leaving him only with Stephanie, Michael, and Jenna. Down 4-5 in numbers, the Malolos searched for the Idol, which Michael found and shared with Brendan. On Day 12, Malolo lost immunity, so the original Navitis targeted Brendan, feeling he wouldn鈥檛 have an Idol or have one used on him. Brendan and his allies tried to get some of the Navitis to turn on Bradley, feling that he was arrogant and a complainer. Michael tried to claim his Idol could be used on two people and said he was going to use it on himself and Brendan. He then played it for Stephanie. Unfortunately, Naviti stuck with their plan and Brendan became the fourth person voted out of the game in a 5-4 vote on Day 12.
Brendan was the oldest male competing on Ghost Island at age 41. He left a lifelong career in business to pursue a career as a health & gym teacher at age 40. His wife is a business owner and world-class triathlete; they were high school sweethearts and have two kids together. Brendan was a finalist for Survivor: Marquesas (season 4) when he was only 25, although was cut, likely in favor for the spot that was given to Hunter Ellis. He had applied 13 times after that and was contacted a couple of times.
