I had heard that Brandon wasn't going to be allowed to come to the reunion
but this still doesn't explain why. I don't recall hearing that Brandon has
threatened Phillip since the show finished shooting so it's odd that his ban
might be related to Russell making threats yet Russell claims he's going.
Like one of the commenters said, this sounds like a setup to promote next
season.

Brandon coming to the reunion because he was afraid of what Brandon
might do. That resulted in Brandon not being asked to come and THAT
resulted in Russell making his threats. At least that's how I read
the time line.

It wsa two different things, Brandon not coming to the reunion, some
argument between Russell and Phillip. The only thing I can think of that
connects them is because of what you say.

An alternative to that would be to bring Brandon on via satellite.
I'd be interested to hear what Brandon has to say at this point in time. After that though, I'd very much prefer they let him go his own way for good.

That's how I read it as well but I still don't see any evidence for why they
think Brandon would do something. If he's threatened Phillip postgame I can
see banning him but what Russell has to say shouldn't even be a factor.
Brandon doesn't even listen to him so why the big worry?

That's complete BS. I hate the train wrecks, and I've made comments in this group that I don't like them casting them and then bringing them back for more.

I seem to recall Russell making threatening statements toward Boston Rob
after Heroes vs. Villains and that led to them both being in the audience
for the S21 finale and then they played against each other in S22. With 16
other people up on the stage I'm sure some of them (e.g., Malcolm, Reynold,
Eddie) could grab Brandon before he got to Phillip. Brandon probably just
doesn't want to go to face the same type of questioning he got last time.

Maybe have Kelly Wigglesworth host a couple of challenges. Or even JFP

One question I have though - when was this season filmed? I'm sure it
wasn't nine months ago and Brenda looked extremely pregnant (and
extremely fit as well - good for her!). Despite the Dutch Big Brother
casting a houseguest that gave birth on the show I can't imagine MB

No question John Cochran is a changed man - hard to believe he's only

Well there's no third option. She wa either pregnant when the show
was filming or it finished filming 9 months ago. Or they were lying
on the show and she's not really due "any day now"

than 9 months ago? Wikipedia says it was filmed May 21, 2012 - June 28,
2012. Why are you so sure that's wrong?

It was filmed a long time ago because they do back-to-back seasons and
started months earlier last year. Shoot dates were May 21 to June 28, 2012
which is over 10 months ago.

didn't realize they shot that far ahead! Must have been hell for
Cochran feeling sure he'd won and not being able to say anything.
Reminds me of 1987 when I was leaving my job to join the family
business, had sold my house at a much bigger price than expected and
couldn't celebrate with anyone but the missus (who had just spread the
happy word that "We're PREGNANT!!!")

If the pre-jury people are backup on stage at the next reunion then will
know for sure that CBS put them in the audience this time to deal with
Brandon. By not even doing a shot of them as a group in the audience they
conveniently didn't even have to address Brandon's absence.

According to Shawn Hantz, Brandon's dad, CBS asked Brandon and his family
not to show up.
Shawn Hantz @shawnjhantz 12 May
CBS requested that Brandon and family not be there.... that's why they
changed the seating arrangement this year.
8:49 PM - 12 May 13 · Details
Andrea Nurse@AndreaRNurse
@shawnjhantz seriously? They asked you all not to come? Not Brandon either?
Wow that's crazy!!
8:56 PM - 12 May 13
Shawn Hantz @shawnjhantz 12 May
@AndreaRNurse they said there will No Hantz in are around the building!

So no doubt next season it'll be back to the normal seating arrangement.

Comrades' segment - from the way he spoke the viewer who had not
watched the whole season might think it was a small thing. Sure you
saw the dumping of the rice but what was shown during the segment sure
didn't suggest anything unusual had happened.
Perhaps that was part of the deal for him not coming to the finale?

A lot of them ended up being correct including how Brandon lost it at camp

Brandon lost it at Losers Lodge and attacked someone. A staff member IIRC.
No way of knowing for sure if this true but someone on the inside was
providing good spoiler info this season. If it is true, I would say it's the
real reason why CBS didn't want Brandon around because we've seen people
dump food and trash talk before and nothing happened. Usually MB and CBS

I wonder if the second rumor is just a corrupted version of the first rumor.

Let's assume though that the second rumor is true. Why then has this rumor not been confirmed by contestants who were at Losers Lodge at the same time? Is it likely contestants were sworn to secrecy over such things? Just some thoughts of mine at this late hour.

So did the fans demand this new format this time? Did they demand "Boston
Rob" and the girl?
They are constantly telling us we want something, yet so much of the time
it's not what I'm feeling. It may reflect a reality of a large number of
viewers, but we never know.
It's like magazines that aren't doing so well, they have a makeover and
tell us how they are improving the magazine "just for you". And then the
magazine fails, unable to attract new readers and losing the old because
of the changes.

Fans definitely didn't demand the new format. When Corrine tweeted that the
pre-jurors found out in rehearsal that they would be sitting in the audience
she got a ton of tweets back saying it was complete crap that they weren't
going to get to be on stage with the others. The others got a ton of tweets
as well. Laura managed to get her mom a ticket to the reunion (her mom's a
huge fan) and then finds out she won't be on stage. She also went out at the
last minute to get a nice dress for the occasion and wasn't even shown on
TV. This was really unfair to all of them and all because it seems like MB
didn't want to deal with explaining why Brandon wasn't at the reunion.
Unfair to us as well. The pre-jury girls looked smokin' hot from some of the
photos I've seen. At least Andrea was on stage.

I thought the same thing but I'm convinced something else happened to freak
CBS out so much. If Brandon threatened Phillip after the game was over it
would have been via social media and people would be posting the tweet or
whatever. Hopefully more will come out about this or one of the other
players will squash the rumor.

It was actually CBS that made the decision. Something must have happened to
concern them this much but what we saw has happened before. Does anyone know
if the entire cast flies back to the U.S. on the same plane? Or is Losers
Lodge located in another destination far from where the game is being
played?

I agree that the fans certainly didn't ask for this. What I would like
to see is something that works for production/CBS and the fans. I know
that they don't want to spend a lot of time on the people eliminated
early in the game so why not go ahead and film a session with Jeff and
all of those people that don't spend time with during the live show.
Give everyone a chance to express themselves and answer the questions
that have come up over the season. Then stick that on the CBS
website/Youtube and let anyone that wants to see it go watch. They can
even advertise it during the reunion show.
That gives CBS the opportunity to focus on the people that they (Jeff)
think will bring in viewers during the live reunion show and yet still
give everyone their time in the lime light.

Ponderosa. That way they avoid having too many players in the same
area so that they might get recognized. Also I remember reading a
rumor a long time ago that Brandon was kept in a different location
from the rest of the cast including those that went pre-jury.

So if he did attack someone that would explain why no one else has talked
about it. Considering how often this show gets spoiled I don't get why they
just didn't send him home early. They could have told him to keep his mouth
shut about why he came back early and that would have given them tons of
preseason publicity as fans tried to guess what happened.

I can't remember which season, but I'm pretty sure they did. It was
commented on here. I can't remember why it didn't happen, maybe they
decided it no longer had the impact or something, and then they realized
they needed it back, so it returns.
