This is not a good season ofSurvivorto be seen as a threat.
This week it was Zeke Smiths turn to be shown the proverbial door to the jury house.
Zeke was undone in two ways.

First off, Will flipped to pad his resume.
How does Zeke feel about his ouster?
Why was Chris still mad at him when he arrived at Ponderosa?
What does he consider the best and worst moves in the game?
Also, I needed Will much more than Dave or Hannah needed Will.
So I thought strategically it made the most sense for him to stick with me.
But you cant account for an 18-year-old wanting to make his mark on the game, right?
And were both kind of like stoic, unemotional guys.
I was so overwhelmed with emotion and the feeling of love that I hadnt had in 33 days.
I sort of didnt know what to do with myself.
On the moment where Bret confided to Zeke that he was gay:
I was very surprised.
I had no idea Bret was gay.
He didnt come up on my gaydar in the least.
And I was really touched and honored to be part of Brets journey.
On Chris not talking to him when he arrived at Ponderosa:
Chris was very mad at me.
He refused to speak to me for a few hours.
Chris was not happy.
And the first thing we had to do was to get the idol misplayed.
That was our first task.
Everybody on my side knew we were going to rocks.
I maybe didnt explain that I didnt have to draw a rock to the people.
I maybe indicated that we were all going to rocks together.
But thats also a big reason why the vote was Hannah.
So people were hyped up to write down Hannahs name.
On whetherhewould have gone to rocks if the tie vote had been on someone else:
No.
I would have never stuck my hand in a bag of rocks.
Theyre not people I was working with.
There was a perception of both Hannah and Ken that they couldnt win.
I didnt attempt to build trust with every single person and got blindsided.
I actually am most impressed with the rocks move, because Hannah flipped on me after the Chris vote.
Hannah and I were so close.
Thats something Im pretty proud of.
