This week on Survivor Philippines, we watched as Zane was the first castaway to have his torch snuffed. And what none of us could believe was it was all because he offered himself up on a silver platter.
He wasn’t ready to go though. He had a plan. Zane explained himself to The Hollywood Reporter.
“As soon as we lost the challenge, I knew what was going to happen, Zane told THR. “We were going to go back to the beach, and Russell would have his little talk, and we would run away from each other for the rest of the day. Nobody wanted to go home. I said, I know we have to vote somebody out, and let it be me.’ I just wanted to put everything at ease with everybody else.”
So what he really wanted was to make everyone respect him for offering and then they’d actually vote out returning vet Russell swan. His plan, of course backfired.
“Everybody in their minds were thinking, ‘He was good enough to [sacrifice] himself for us, we need to keep him as part of our tribe,’ ” Zane told THR. “When we got to tribal and Russ threw himself at the mercy of the court, and he was like, ‘Give me one more chance. I’ll change, I’m sorry.’ In the back of everybody’s minds, they thought, ‘The boy did ask for it. Zane did say, “Put me out.” ‘ I think I put too much sauce on it and made it a little too convenient that I wanted to leave. They took the easy way out.”
What did you think of Zane’s move?
