During the second half of the Double Eviction in week 9, Zach won the Power of Veto but critically failed to use it to force Daniele Donato to automatically go on the block and ensure her eviction. This left him in a final four with both Daniele and Dick Donato, as well as Jameka Cameron. After losing Jameka, Zach was placed in a must-win position in the final Head of Household competition against the father-daughter duo. Despite winning a brutal first part of the final HOH, He narrowly lost to Dick in the third part and became the seventh and final member of the jury in 3rd place.
