Brandon wasn't there to redeem the Hantz name for Russell's sake, he seemed to hate the fact that his name was Hantz and therefore was guilty by association.
He wanted to play nice and honorably (many say that, so few accomplish-nor is it necessary) so that the 'world' could see not all Hantz's are like Russell.
I think Brandon feels he failed. Personally, I didn't give a hoot if he did or didn't 'redeem' the name, but I'm not the one related to and having the name Hantz and having to listen to what is said.
Brandon did prove that just by having a Hantz on a tribe didn't mean you got the same gameplay. He is not his uncle, obviously, and perhaps not much like his father from what I saw.
Brandon had issues and inconsistencies with the lying and cheating part of the game, and Russell has his own gameplay issues.
The fact that we have to try to spot a bit of humanity in Russell is the scary part.
