Zeke Smith is already thriving in the game of Survivor even though Millennials vs. Gen X just premiered late last month on CBS.

Zeke is a 28-year-old asset manager from Brooklyn, NY, and playing on the Vanua (Millennials) Tribe for Survivor's 33rd season.

Zeke, who rocks a mustache and carefree attitude, joked prior to appearing on the show that he's dreamed of starving on desert beaches and running around in his unwashed underwear for years!

The castaway has eccentric taste and isn't afraid to refer to himself as a "ridiculous human being." He had no intention to blend in around camp, but that might actually work to his advantage. Want to learn more about him?

Below is a list of 8 facts Reality TV World has compiled about Zeke Smith:

- Zeke's inspiration in life is Joan Rivers because she really "lived" and made Helen Keller jokes into her 80s.

- When Zeke was in high school, he bravely came out to his classmates at age 15 and the experience helped shape him into the strong person he is today.

- The castaway describes himself as sharp, devilish, unstoppable, curious and "tough as nails." His hobbies include writing, improv and cooking. He apparently also trained hard at the gym for six months to get himself ready for Survivor.

- He was ranked one of the Top 16 high-school debaters in the country his senior year of high school. He was recruited to debate for Harvard, which is where he went to college.

- If he could bring three things with him on the island, they would be hairspray to keep his hair "high and tight," coffee to calm his nerves and "awaken the senses," and an industrial-sized vat of peanut butter (both as a high-protein food and a deep conditioner).

- Zeke intends to lie, manipulate and make big moves in the game. He wants to win with style, and even if people hate him at first, he believes they will grow to love him.

- His pet peeves include sniffling, chewing with one's mouth open, wearing black shoes with brown belts, and children who don't listen to their mothers.

- Although Zeke felt out of his element on Survivor, he was the first person on his tribe to make fire, and without even using flint!
