Changes: Tarzan Smith

Revision as of 16:05, 1 August 2020

Gregory Lantz "Greg" Smith^[1] (also known as Tarzan) is a contestant from Survivor: One World.

The oldest castaway on One World, Tarzan is remembered for his very eccentric and self-admittedly irascible behavior. He deployed his ornate vocabulary with inconsistent denotative accuracy, repelled many of his tribemates with what they deemed unsanitary conduct, and was involved in spats with some of the politest, least objectionable personalities on the island, including Jonas Otsuji and Chelsea Meissner. However, he concocted a sly plan to deliver himself to the Final Tribal Council against long, Daugherty-eqsue odds. This plan did not come to fruition, however, as he was foiled at the final six by eventual winner Kim Spradlin.

“	The game is afoot.	”
—Tarzan

Despite being the oldest (and arguably the weirdest) member of the tribe, Tarzan found himself in the majority alliance with Colton Cumbie, Troyzan Robertson, Leif Manson, and Jonas Otsuji. His knowledge and life experience did help out in some aspects of camp life, he didn't do so well in many challenges but thanks to Colton's scheming, he was kept around instead of stronger players such as Matt Quinlan and Monica Culpepper. After Colton's medevac and the merge, Tarzan reneged his old alliance, turned against Jonas (along with voting him off), and decided to vote with the female contestants. Because he aided in voting off the male contestants and because he wasn't a threat, Tarzan would be the last man standing and even outlast one of the female contestants, Kat Edorsson. In "It's Human Nature", Tarzan told both Kim Spradlin and Alicia Rosa that they should go to the final 4 with himself and Christina Cha and he told conflicting stories that as the final member of the jury, he would sway the jury to vote for Kim and Alicia to win. When Chelsea Meissner won the Reward Challenge and took Kim and Sabrina Thompson with her, Tarzan used this opportunity to solidify an alliance with Alicia and Christina and tried to set a plan in motion to vote off Chelsea. Kim and Alicia would eventually have a conversation and were wondering if Tarzan was planning something bigger and trying to take one of them out. Despite Tarzan's strategizing with the remaining women, they decided that Tarzan would receive all the male jurors votes at the end and voted him off 5-1. Before leaving, Tarzan thanked the women for letting him see his wife, Terri, at the Loved Ones Challenge. However, unknowingly to him, fellow jury member Michael Jefferson flipped him off behind his back.

At Final Tribal Council, Tarzan cast his vote for Kim who won in a 7-2-0 vote.
