Jeremy Hartenberger

**Jeremy Damien Hartenberger** is a contestant from *Zovivor: KwaZulu-Natal*.

A strong strategic player, Jeremy formed an unbreakable bond with Shaka tribemate Josiah Stoltzfus on day one, and the two maintained a power position through the entire premerge. Jeremy was frequently targeted, seen as too cunning, but he was able to survive through keeping more pressing threats than him in the game. At the final 8, he was once again targeted, but he was able to convince fellow duo Pablo Domingo and Rusty Gerber, along with physical threat Sisi Sisuwan, to keep him and Josiah and instead target Claude Parker, who was seen as a floater. This backfired however, as Claude secretly found a hidden immunity idol, and used it to eliminate Jeremy with only one vote in a shocking blindside.

### One World

> This is my island!, Troyzan

Troyzan started the game on the all-male Manono tribe. He joined Colton Cumbie's Misfit Alliance along with tribemates Jonas Otsuji, Leif Manson, and Tarzan Smith. As Manono won the first two Immunity Challenges, he was never in danger of being voted out until Day 8 where his alliance voted out Matt Quinlan. On Day 11, Troyzan agreed to give up immunity to go to Tribal Council where his alliance eliminated Bill Posley.

At the tribe switch, Troyzan was switched to the Salani tribe along with tribemates Jay Byars and Michael Jefferson. While on Salani, Troyzan made an alliance with Jay, Chelsea Meissner, and Kim Spradlin. However, the alliance did not need to vote anybody out as Salani won the next Immunity Challenge and Colton was medically evacuated in the following days. After Colton's evacuation, the tribes were merged into the Tikiano tribe during the Joint Tribal Council on Night 17.

Troyzan won the first post-merge Immunity Challenge and despite thinking that Jonas deserved to stay, he ended up voted with his post-swap alliance in ousting Jonas. Knowing the women had the numbers advantage, the men were thinking of voting out Christina Cha next. However, Kim lied to Troyzan about Michael wanting him gone. Motivated by his reignited anger towards Michael, he voted with the women, eliminating Michael. However, Troyzan was shocked at the next Tribal Council when the women in his alliance betrayed the alliance and blindsided Jay.

The women continued voting out the men, with Troyzan being safe by winning individual immunity on Day 27 with Leif being voted out at that night's Tribal Council. On Day 30, after Troyzan failed to win immunity, he took the loss hard and turned his back for the duration of the Immunity Challenge. That night at Tribal Council, despite an effort to mess with the majority Salani Alliance's split vote plan and get Christina out, he was eliminated for being the strongest male contestant left, as well as his clashes with the women.

At the Final Tribal Council, Troyzan cast his jury vote for Sabrina Thompson out of spite against Kim; still, this was not enough to prevent Kim from winning the title of Sole Survivor.

### Game Changers

Troyzan started on the Mana Tribe. On Day 2, he caught Tony Vlachos working on his spy bunker and relayed this information to Malcolm Freberg. After Mana lost the first Immunity Challenge, Troyzan joined the majority in voting out Ciera Eastin at the first Tribal Council. The next night he talked to Sandra Diaz-Twine about voting out Tony. Tony overheard the conversation and confronted the two, but they both denied the accusation. Troyzan, Sandra, and Hali Ford convince the tribe to vote out Tony after losing the second Immunity Challenge.

At the Tribe switch, Troyzan is switched to Tavua. He was the only original Mana member on Tavua so he felt like an outsider. However, he managed to find a clue to the Hidden Immunity Idol, and after winning the Immunity Challenge; he managed to find the idol while no one was looking. Tavua dominated the next few challenges. He was switched back to Mana after the second tribe switch. On Mana, he aligned with Brad Culpepper and joined his alliance.

Troyzan, along with Aubry Bracco, Michaela Bradshaw, and Hali were the only original Mana members to make it to the merge. He won immunity on Day 25. However at Tribal Council, Sarah flipped on his alliance so his ally Debbie Wanner was blindsided. While he was now in the minority, he was not targeted. On Night 35, Troyzan, Brad, and Sarah successfully blindsided Michaela.

On Day 36, Brad won immunity and chose to share the reward with Sarah and Troyzan. On the reward, the three agreed to target Tai Trang. At Tribal Council, Tai played both of his idols on himself and Aubry respectively, then Sarah played her Legacy Advantage, and this prompted Troyzan to play his idol. Since Cirie was the only one that was not immune, she was eliminated by default. On Night 37, Troyzan received a vote from Aubry, but Aubry was unanimously voted out. On Day 38, Tai was unanimously voted out, but Troyzan received a voted from Tai. Troyzan made it to the end along with Sarah and Brad.

Troyzan was mostly ignored during the Final Tribal Council, and the few times he was spoken to, he was accused of being a follower. However, he argued that he had personal relationships with everyone, and he made quiet moves. He ended up receiving zero jury votes. He lost to Brad who came in second place with three jury votes and Sarah who won with seven votes.
