**Jack Tryzna** was one of the co-runner-ups of Survivor: One World and was a contestant on Survivor: Battle Royale.

Being the only new contestant to make the merge in *Survivor: One World* to make the merge, Jack was able to slip his way into many alliances and ensure that he would not be the target at whatever cost necessary while winning multiple individual immunity challenges along the way. Although Jack was able to make it to the end, he did not get much recognition for his game and was criticized more for what he did not do, causing him to fall in the co-runner-up position with Hunter Heschke as they both lost to Bailey McDonald. He would later return to *Survivor: Battle Royale* with his girlfriend, Erica Fliss. However, he would find many more hardships to battle, such as his girlfriend being the first voted out and everyone turning against him. In the end, he would meet a very early demise at the start of the merge.

## Survivor: One World

Jack started out on the Masterminds Tribe, and although he would put forth a great amount of effort to help his tribe, they would still lose, but get Kathy as a consolation prize. Jack would steadily ensure the votes would stay off of him and go in the direction he desired, and he ended up voting Ashley alongside the others in his tribe. The Masterminds Tribe would narrowly win the next immunity challenge over the Beasts Tribe, keeping themselves safe for another round.

After the Beasts Tribe returned from Tribal Council, Jack was included in on conversations regarding how the previous tribal went, as well as other prominent figures from that tribal council. At the tribe swap, Jack was sent to the Purple Team alongside Bailey, Devin, Jake, and Hunter. They would gain fortune as they would stay safe the rest of the pre-jury by winning the last tribal immunity challenge of the season.

At the merge, Jack had a rough time at the start, as he not only lost to Seth in the first individual immunity challenge, but then had his vote blocked by Devin at the first tribal council of the merge. After watching Sam get blindsided out of the game, Jack knew he needed to win to avoid any potential blindsides from Devin, who was still weary of him. Jack would win immunity alongside Seth, narrowly beating Bailey. At the next tribal council, Jack would cast a rogue vote for Cody in what would lead to Kathy's demise. Jack then lost the next immunity challenge, but was in the clear, as he was constantly being approached about the next vote. Jack would have to think about taking out Cody, or taking out Seth, both being very big threats to his game. Jack finally decided to go along with the plan to take out Cody, but it did not matter once Cody used his hidden immunity idol in a plan that would ultimately blindside Jake. Jack would then talk to Devin and Hunter as they all knew Cody had another advantage on him. Jack's suspicions were right, and Cody used his *Safety-without-Power* Advantage to get out of that tribal. Even though he and the other two guys voted Seth, Seth played his third hidden immunity idol of the season, causing his ally Devin to be blindsided.

At the Final 5, Jack won immunity and found himself in a precarious situation, vote out Seth and go with Cody and Hunter, or go with Seth and Bailey to vote out Hunter. Seeing the latter as the bigger threat, Jack decided to finally help them take Seth out so they would have an easier shot at the Final Immunity Challenge. Jack then lost the final immunity challenge, but was not at any risk whatsoever, and he helped to further the vote only being focused on Bailey and Cody. Jack would help to vote out Cody in a 3-1 vote.

At the Final Tribal Council, Jack thanked everyone for making him feel welcome. He went on to mention how he never got a single vote in the game against him and he talked of how he was able to forge connections with the people he did not know before the game. Jack talked a lot into how he was strong in many challenges as well. Although Jack was told that he should be given more credit than what he was being given before for his game, the jury laid into him regarding how they did not see Jack make as many votes as they think he should have made. Jack would receive a vote from Sam, who pitied him for not having anyone else voting for him at the moment. It would not be enough to help him though, as he would still lose to Bailey and would become the co-runner up with Hunter after a 4-1-1 vote and would place 2nd out of 12th.

At the *Survivor: One World Reunion Episode*, Jack expressed his pleasure for being able to make it to the end. Jack then went on to mention that he would be interested in learning from his game and returning to play again. Jack mentioned how he felt perceived his biggest mistake was not sticking to his original alliance. Jack said that he voted out Seth for the same reasons Cody did, to even the playing field for the Final Individual Immunity challenge of the season.

## Survivor: Battle Royale

Jack would start the game out on the Snakes Tribe, alongside many big names, most notably with his girlfriend Erica. The couple attempted to keep their status as a couple a secret, as to avoid any concerns from their tribe. However, after the Snakes Tribe would lose the first immunity challenge, Jack's and Erica's names would be the first ones to come up on everyone's minds. Jack would attempt to put a target on Kyle for his social game and for how far he made it in his last three seasons. However, his and Erica's efforts would not be enough, and Jack would sadly see Erica become the first person voted out of the season.

Back at camp, Jack would attempt to bond with his tribe to keep himself safe and to give him connections with the others that he hoped could turn into an alliance. However, many would still think of voting him off at the next tribal council, seeing him as a liability in the future of the game. This would not affect Jack though, as the Snakes Tribe would win the next immunity challenge, sparing him from going back to tribal council and giving him more time to branch out to the others on his tribe.

A tribe swap would then send Jack over to the Scorpions Tribe alongside Bailey, Bri, and Dacota. Although there seemed to be little hope left for Jack, there was a glimmer. That glimmer coming from a concern with Bailey's past experiences in the game making her a bigger threat to Dacota in comparison to Jack. This would never come to fruition though, as Jack's life in the game would be spared once again for two more tribal councils as the new Scorpions Tribe would go on a winning streak until the merge.

Once at the merge, Jack would attempt to make quick work to bond with the others and play the game. He would make a good attempt at the first individual immunity challenge of the season, but it would not be enough to help him win. Back at camp, Jack would attempt to rally the people against Bailey, who he saw as the biggest threat left in the game. He would even go to great lengths to keep this information a secret from Bailey, as he lied to her multiple times about her being the target. However, at tribal council, Bailey would still play her hidden immunity idol, negating all of the votes against her. This would not only ruin Jack's plan, but it would also send him home with the next highest amount of votes. Jack would become the first member of the jury, and would place 10th out of 14th.

Admiring her gameplay and strategy the most, Jack would cast his jury vote for Bri to become the winner of the season at the season's Final Tribal Council.

Jack did not attend the *Survivor: Battle Royale Reunion Episode*, but he was a topic of discussion on multiple occasions when contestants spoke in regards to his elimination and a few stated that they thought that he was not a good liar in the game.
