Neal Gottlieb
Kaôh Rōng's quiet Brain with an idol in his pocket, pulled from the game just as his big moment arrived.
Known for
Neal started on the fractured Brains tribe, where he and Aubry Bracco became a pair. When he caught wind of a plot against him, the two jumped from Liz Markham and Peter Baggenstos to Debbie Wanner and Joe del Campo and blindsided Liz. From there Neal dodged Tribal Council for the rest of the tribal phase, switch included, and quietly found a hidden idol.
The merge left the Brains outnumbered, and Neal told Aubry about the idol so they could use it together. They never got the chance. Medical staff diagnosed a serious infection and removed him before the new tribe's first vote, making him the first juror. Late in the game Michele Fitzgerald voted him off the jury, and he left with a few pointed words aimed at her.
