Cut - Zeke Smith (34)

478. Zeke Smith - Season 34 - Game Changers

I've never liked Zeke as a character. Is he a perfectly wonderful, strong, nice person in real life? Yes. Is he a good player of Survivor? No. Is he an irritating player of Survivor? Yes. Like, when you pull up "gamebot" in the Survivor dictionary, you'd probably find him! Almost everything he does revolves around how it'll impact his strategic game while throwing any piece of his social game into the wind. for example, how he handled Andrea was terrible for his game! Zeke just doesn't recognize how to send people to the jury in a way that doesn't make them upset, because he's so focused on being a big game player and blindsiding or making big moves, which ultimately makes up almost his whole character. Like, just think back to the idol apocalypse at the final 6. He was literally jumping in his seat as it went down like a kid on Christmas.

Now, I will say that how he handled the Varner incident was very forgiving and restrained, and showed a lot about Zeke's character as a person. What happened to him was horrific and the fact that Varner made himself into a victim of the whole incident is disgusting, and hopefully, Varner is able to become a better person and learn from what he did to Zeke. But, just, damn all respect to Zeke for that whole situation. Classy guy, but a poor gameplayer.

Save - Kyle "Jason" Jason

I think he'll probably be cut, and I'm not ready for that yet.
