    I'm glad you chose The Black Mamba as the title of her video. Brenda really is like a lost member of the Black Widow Brigade with how ruthless she plays and playing Chase like a fool.

    It might be just me but Brenda’s game reminds me a lot of Ami in Vanuatu. The reason I say this because both woman had a similar game in the fact they both essentially had an iron grip over the majority alliance and had control in the merge but got more and more cocky, and there eventual downfall happened where members of there alliances flipped because they had a hard time controlling their threat level.

    I'm def a Brenda stan. Its not easy to cut one's emotions off to play this game and as we saw in her next season she does actually have a heart, so hats off to her. Hope she comes back for another season someday. With a little bit of tweaking her gameplay I could see her winning the whole thing if she got to play again.

    Anybody else feel like the casting back then was alot more on a spectrum personality-wise? Now I'm definitely rewatching it next. The newer seasons don't feel as diverse (even though I like that it's is more diverse with minorities). If you seen the newer seasons, you might know what I mean.

    I get the feeling Survivor in their 20’s was trying to look for their next Parvati, a flirt who was good at the game. Brenda was the first attempt, followed by Andrea. Eventually they found a young strong woman in Wentworth, minus the flirt of course

    I checked out of Survivor in this season. I think it's after Survivor: HvV and I got a promotion at my job so it didn't have the engagement from me because of work and it didn't have a way to keep me wanting more. It's not it's fault but it's similar to watching WaW then watching 41 (imo) for me. I heard people loved Brenda then some others for the memes. I heard 2 people quit and I thought wtf is going on? Lol. I need to watch this season at least for Brenda. 😝 I need to bump it up alittle on the list as I've already rewarched almost 3/4 of the seasons.

    With her being attractive and saying things like, she isn't here to eat and she can starve as long as she makes it to the end plus her being willing to run around with her partner searching for idols, I think Russel Hantz would've been in lust. She probably could've wrapped him around her finger similar to how Parvati did in HvV.
