Last night was the first post Brandon Hantz "Survivor" show for CBS. Jeff Probst and the shows producers shook things up a bit and scrambled up the tribes. Fans no longer get the "Fans vs. Favorites" theme, instead week six was about mixing it up a bit. The Fans tribe was clearly the weaker group having lost their last three immunity challenges before Brandon Hantz's meltdown. So what happened on Wednesday night's "Survivor?" Keep reading to find out.

All the tribe members smash eggs on their bodies revealing either purple or orange paint. It turns out all the strongest "Survivor" cast members ended up getting the orange paint. Eddie, Reynold, Malcom, Eric, and Brenda are all on the orange team. Sherri and Andrea are also a part of the new orange Gota tribe making them the clear weak links.

The purple Bikal tribe consists of Phillip (who now has the honor of being the craziest person on the island), Matt, Michael, Cochran, Dawn, Corrine, and Julia. The purple tribe loses the first challenge involving the new teams, sending them to the tribal council. It turns out Matt, the bearded BMX salesman, is sent home. It originally looked like the 21-year-old Julia was going to be voted out before Cochran spoke up. Cochran's rationale was that Matt and Michael had a strong relationship and they should get rid of a power couple now that they have the chance.

Last night's episode was lacking the drama of previous weeks. Let's face it, without Brandon Hantz and his crazy antics the show just won't be as compelling. Producers tried their best to shake things up and even the sides, but it turns out the teams may be more lopsided than ever. One contestant to watch is Phillip who is clearly the most interesting of all the contestants now that Brandon is gone.
