Trivia

 * Greg is the oldest contestant on Survivor: One World.
 * Prefers to go by Tarzan, similar to tribemate Troy "Troyzan" Robertson.
 * Jeff Probst claimed that Greg will have an ego problem, even going as far as telling the Medical Team how to give a physical examination.
 * Greg was sat out in back-to-back challenges. He sat out in the Reward/Immunity Challenge of Total Dysfunction and the Reward Challenge of One World Is Out The Window. This is because players may sit in back-to-back challenges, but only in between episodes.
