Gary Zane Knight is a contestant from Survivor: Philippines.
A character from the beginning, Zane started the game making alliances with all his tribe mates. But after his poor performance in the first challenge and his flawed strategy of asking people to vote him out so he could see who he could trust, Zane became the first contestant voted out.

SURVIVOR Contestant You Are Most Like: Brandon. If you all thought he was wild, wait till ya' get a load of me!
Reason for Being on SURVIVOR: I've always wanted my own tow-truck but working like I do now I won't ever be able to afford it.
Why You Think You'll "Survive" SURVIVOR: I believe I can come into this game and make everybody work for me till I don't need them anymore. I can be sweet like Boston Rob, a non-threatening like Cochran, crazy like Phillip or a snake like Russell. I am a million dollars.

Survivor: Philippines
Zane was a member of the Matsing Tribe. Within the first two days, Zane had approached Angie Layton, Denise Stapley, and Roxanne Morris for alliances. Zane soon approached Malcolm Freberg and Russell Swan to make a three person alliance, but ended up confessing that he had made alliance with the other three tribe members, so that there would be a fourth vote if they needed it. This made Malcolm skeptic, who quickly relayed the information back to Denise. During the Immunity Challenge, Zane experienced shortness of breath and had to be pulled by Russell to the finish line. Despite their efforts, Matsing lost the first Immunity Challenge. During Russell's pep talk, Zane asked his tribe to vote him out for costing the tribe in the challenge. However, this was all a ruse to help Zane find out who liked him on his tribe and wanted him around. At Tribal Council, Zane credited his shortness of breath to his abrupt nicotine withdrawal, which he just did a day before arriving to the Philippines. Zane was ultimately voted out 5-1, becoming the first castaway voted out of Survivor: Philippines.
