Brandon Hantz post meltdown, no docs required.

After his kingsize meltdown on Survivor: Caramoan last week, what happened with Brandon Hantz immediately after the cameras stopped filming?

Not much by the sounds of things. As he tells Reality Ravings, he had a chat with Jeff Probst then went back to the Ponderosa, the base camp they go to after filming.

“Me and Jeff just talked for a little bit about life and how I was feeling. He was really helpful and calming me down. He said ‘Hey I really appreciate you taking the time to play this game, and we really appreciate how much time your family has put into this whole thing.’ It’s a big deal you know, we are investing our lives in something people think it is so easy. It takes a toll on you, mentally, it takes a toll on you physically and even after the game you have to deal with the critics and the people coming up to you and saying I really don’t like the way you played when really it is unnecessary to have an opinion if you have never played before,” he said.

“I went straight to Ponderosa, nothing special happened. People think the doctors surrounded me and saying are you OK. No I just got angry, when you get angry you calm down and you go home.”

Bit surprised there wasn’t more psychological evaluation on offer, even if only as a pre-caution. Maybe he’s just a good actor…
