Troy "Troyzan" Robertson
The idol-hunting superfan who spent One World on the wrong side of the room and still made it to the end of Game Changers.
Known for
In One World, Troyzan rode Colton Cumbie's Misfit Alliance through the early Manono votes, then swapped to Salani and joined Kim Spradlin's group. The merge was a slow-motion massacre of the men by the Salani women. Kim fed him a lie that got him to help oust Michael Jefferson, then the women blindsided Jay Byars. Troyzan stayed alive with an immunity win and an idol play before he was finally cut. On the jury he refused to tell Kim whether she had named his low point correctly, and voted for Sabrina Thompson instead.
Game Changers started better: he caught Tony Vlachos building his spy bunker and helped vote Tony out. Swapped alone onto Tavua, he quietly dug up an idol, and later linked with Brad Culpepper and Sarah Lacina. When Tai Trang played two idols and Sarah played her Legacy Advantage, Troyzan played his too, leaving Cirie the only person who could go home. He made the finals, where the jury called him a follower and gave him nothing.
