Brian Heidik

Brian Heidik was a 34-year-old Used Car Salesman from Quartz Hill, California when he became the Sole Survivor of Survivor: Thailand. A former All-State high school quarterback who was recruited to play football at North Carolina State before a knee injury ended his career, Brian worked as a stockbroker and actor with credits including a recurring role on 'Days of Our Lives.' He pioneered the 'Goat Strategy' by intentionally bringing the unpopular Clay Jordan to the Final Two, treating the game as a 'business trip' while making multiple Final Two alliances. Brian won in a controversial 4-3 jury vote despite being criticized for his cutthroat gameplay, and remains the only Thailand castaway to never receive a single elimination vote against him throughout the entire season.
