Zack is one of the rich and useless, famous for no discernible reason (he doesn't even have a sex tape), just another train wreck of a partyboy with more money than sense. A couple years ago, he was the sole survivor among what can only be described as a whole boat full of Darwin Award winners, idiot kids who thought that the ocean and the weather would care who they were. The boat went down.  Everyone drowned.  But they managed to bring Zack back.

He hasn't handled the trauma well, but the burnout has been epic. Instead of the usual drug and tear filled celebrity breakdown, he's gone out like a roman candle.  There's a great picture still floating around the internet of him cavorting around the narrow ledge of the 70th story of the U.S. Bank Tower in LA, bottle of vodka in hand, and several heavily viewed youTube videos of him pulling parkour stunts that are closer to suicide attempts, and really should have put him in the hospital. But maybe the Devil takes care of his own.

The irony is that every time one of these shows can manage to get him on camera, their ratings spike, so whether he likes it or not, Zack's reality show career isn't ending any time soon.
