Survivor: One World - 6th place, 13th out - 7th juror. From MSN. One on one with someone, I'm scared to death. I'm only doing it for the adventure and the romance.
Watch out. I can talk your ears off. I am hoping to play a pseudo-father, kind fatherly role to help my tribe. Jeff says: Dr. Greg Smith, otherwise known as Tarzan, is one of the smartest guys we've ever had on the show.
I told him right before the game started, 'Your biggest obstacle is your own ego and feeling you need to tell everybody how smart you are and how good at everything you are.
I was the one who carried the water and it was two blocks there and back. Seeing Chelsea usurp my water that day with the shorts and cameras there to see her denigrate me, and then Sabrina helping her How dare Chelsea do that to me.
Do you think you could have spoken differently to connect more with your fellow players? But golly, I'm 64 years old, and I am a doctor. I spent 16 years in training and I have some vocabulary. I have some physics, some chemistry, so if something comes up when they know something I'm saying is going to help them - and by God, it's not as if I didn't explain the dynamics in a way they could understand!
I might have started talking about it at a higher level, but I dropped it down in ways that they could understand. That's frustrating! Did you underestimate the women's ability in the game to outsmart you?
I underestimated the men - it was a matter of the men, by their youth and their pheromones, being dumb. What they needed to do was stick together. The reality is I was betrayed when we became Tikiano. It was six to six and if they had just realised the rationale of what we were trying to do, it would have gone a different way. Once you lose the queen in a chess game too early, you realise you're in deep doo doo.
It's a poopy situation. At that point, I thought, 'Uh oh, I'm going to have to ingratiate myself with the women because the guys are being If I wanted to last long enough for my wife to get to that island, I had to help the girls get rid of the guys. And I kept my promise. I would have kept my promise with the guys if at that point they realised that they should rejoin as a coterie with Alicia.
Why were you the last remaining man in the competition? I do understand women. All my life, I've cared more about women than men and I've always wanted to make women the best they can possibly be. I love women in an avuncular way. I want them to be the best they can possibly be and that's why I became a plastic surgeon, because at least I can help their physical bodies, which, in a world that is primarily sexual, helps them significantly if they have a good plastic surgeon.
That's what I would hope was the reason, but the real reason is that I do think they sensed the sincerity and they empathised with the romantic idea of being able to embrace my wife on the sands of Samoa. I hope and I thought - and I still think - that they said, 'You know what, we thrashed all the guys, there's only one guy left so let's let Tarzan see his wife'.
If that's true, and it may not be, I totally appreciated that. I should have gone next but they took out Kat and again I thought, maybe it was strategy because they thought I was a fool and no threat. If you watched a thousand Survivor s, amazingly the fools and the no threats last the longest, so I kind of played that game. Sabrina played that game, too - I don't think she won anything, either, except food. And yet she wasn't seen as much of a threat other than that they knew she was clever and she was certainly a thorn in my side, trying to make me look bad at every opportunity.
I was aware of that and tried to keep it at bay. What was the most frustrating part about playing the game? I kept my allegiance to Alicia ever since the Manono tribe. She even said I was like a father and she was like a daughter. The oldest castaway on One World , Tarzan is remembered for his very eccentric and self-admittedly irascible behavior.
He deployed his ornate vocabulary with inconsistent denotative accuracy, repelled many of his tribemates with what they deemed unsanitary conduct, and was involved in spats with some of the politest, least objectionable personalities on the island, including Jonas Otsuji and Chelsea Meissner. However, he concocted a sly plan to deliver himself to the Final Tribal Council against long, Daugherty -eqsue odds. This plan did not come to fruition, however, as he was foiled at the final six by eventual winner Kim Spradlin.
Hobbies: Art, music, adventure, entomology and primatology. Pet Peeves: Inequity and deceit. Reason for Being on Survivor : The adventure, the challenge; to lose weight. Despite being the oldest and arguably the weirdest member of the tribe, Tarzan found himself in the majority alliance with Colton Cumbie , Troyzan Robertson , Leif Manson , and Jonas Otsuji.
His knowledge and life experience did help out in some aspects of camp life, he didn't do so well in many challenges but thanks to Colton's scheming, he was kept around instead of stronger players such as Matt Quinlan and Monica Culpepper. After Colton's medical evacuation and the merge , Tarzan reneged his old alliance, turned against Jonas along with voting him off , and decided to vote with the women. Because he aided in voting off the men and because he wasn't a threat, Tarzan would be the last man standing and even outlast one of the women, Kat Edorsson.
In " It's Human Nature ", Tarzan told both Kim Spradlin and Alicia Rosa that they should go to the final four with him and Christina Cha and he told conflicting stories that as the final member of the jury , he would sway the jury to vote for Kim and Alicia to win.
When Chelsea Meissner won the Reward Challenge and took Kim and Sabrina Thompson with her, Tarzan used this opportunity to solidify an alliance with Alicia and Christina and tried to set a plan in motion to vote off Chelsea. Kim and Alicia would eventually have a conversation and were wondering if Tarzan was planning something bigger and trying to take one of them out.
Despite Tarzan's strategizing with the remaining women, they decided that Tarzan would receive all the male jurors votes at the end and voted him off unanimously.
Before leaving, Tarzan thanked the women for letting him see his wife, Terri, at the Loved Ones Challenge. However, unbeknownst to him, fellow jury member Michael Jefferson flipped him off behind his back.
