Survivor Ponderosa: Survivor Game Changers’ Zeke Smith finds peace

With two crazy games of Survivor back to back with MvGX and Survivor Game Changers, Zeke Smith finds peace in his time at Survivor Ponderosa.

This article discusses the events of Survivor Game Changers episode 11, “Reinventing How This Game is Played.”

With a majority alliance tipping the scales from 6-5 to 4-6, Zeke Smith being in with Andrea Boehlke and Cirie Fields may have been a misguided safety. Andrea, learning from the Boston Rob school of brainwashing, saw Zeke speaking to Brad Culpepper at a reward and thought that was enough to find distrust in him. With that, the new majority alliance voted him out in 10th place and Zeke Smith found himself at the Survivor Ponderosa.

CBS has uploaded the Zeke Smith Survivor Game Changers Ponderosa video today, where Zeke is a bit understanding of the threat level he provided others who would have to sit with him at the final tribal council, should he have made it there. In addition to losing 14 pounds since the start of the game, he regained the support group of friends at his resort getaway, making up with Debbie Wanner in the process.

While there were initial smiles brought on by companionship and Jack Daniels-laced syrup on pancakes, Zeke did admit in Ponderosa that he felt there was a lot more to accomplish in this game versus in his Millennials vs. Gen X season.

If there’s anything that can cheer him up, it’s that he has a letter from his dad that he gets to read. It’s a very touching letter, one that posits Zeke as the personal hero of his father. It doesn’t get much better than to hear from a loved one, even if Zeke was days away from seeing his loved on in Survivor Game Changers had he made it past the last vote.
