Zack had a relatively unique underdog story arc. He made the mistake of coming in extremely hot and heavy right out of the gate. His hardcore campaigning to keep Boston in the game painted a large target on his back. The bullseye only got bigger from there as Zack started to associate himself with the veterans, who also had all sorts of drama surrounding them. From there, Zack appeared to live life on the edge. His gameplay was adventurous, but treacherous as it felt like he could’ve fallen off the rails at any given moment. In a sense, the veterans served both pros and cons to his game. While being affiliated with them put him in a dangerous minority position, they also served as shields for Zack as they were always bigger targets than him. Zack jumped on any opportunity he could to receive power in the game. He used his HOH reign to pull the plug on Zahida, a player who made it known from that start that she was against Zack. Having made it to jury, Zack went on to win the first Dealer Roulette of the summer. He took a stab at messing up Flora’s nominations after using his power to put her closest ally, Willows, on the block. But loose lips sink ships. Zack’s inability to keep his power as a secret caused him to get caught and swiftly backdoored. Zack’s willingness to put everything on the line made him turn out to be an entertaining player to watch unfold this season. He always took any opportunity he could to shake up the game.
