Fun fact- production didn’t want to release the footage of Zeke being outed out of respect for zeke, but zeke wanted them to air it so it could educate the viewers
allegedly, jeff has apologized for this incident, he himself calling it “assault”. sources not verified, but he also sounds like he understands how deeply he fucked up in the tribal
Cam The Man yeah look it’s hard to defend Jeff Varner here in today’s society especially, but we have to remember at the end of the day he initially played survivor in an era where this kind of talk and truth telling being raised was not much of an issue and reasonable mentality. So at that moment he was fighting for his life and retreated back to his old roots from Australia outback era kind of pitching to stay in, as if this was back in 2000 this exact same thing brought up, I bet ya his tribe mates would have taken what he said into account and use that as a basis to vote say Zeke off due to the attitude back then. Sure it’s been well over half a decade since but Jeff just started talking the 2000 Aussie outback era attitude
Nathan Kumar But, he tried to use Zekes personal secret against him. Are you serious? This is like saying ‘boys will be boys’ when he rapes a girl at a party. You cant make excuses for him when we know exactly what he’d planned to do.
That’s a good point. So is whacky Debbie the real Debbie or is the kind straight talking one here at Tribal Council the real one? Most likely she’s both.
@@dallasbernieri9156 tai betrayed almost everyone, lied to almost everyone and he himself actually believed his lies. He's not a "nice guy" at all. Ge didn't even plan it or have an intent. He's naturally a hypocrite.
A game of Outwit, Outplay, Outlast does not mean outing someone's personal business not only in front of the tribe, but in front of millions of viewers. Varner got what he deserved.
Willie Turner lol you must have forgotten how survivor was back in the original days, remember how Rob outed some bloke there was no reaction to it as it was that kind of era where that would slide, and I can assure you Varner did here if replicated in his initial season, it would have worked in his favour to sway votes as that’s how survivor was back then, honesty was appreciated a lot and hiding was frowned upon. Varner did what he did purely off instinctive retreating to save his survivor life in the game and chose a route in which back in his initial season in Aussie outback would have viewed as ok.
Zekes reaction to Varners revelation still staggers me. Such a private thing of his revealed and he handles it with maturity and solidarity I'd never think possible without saying a damn thing.
The irony is, there MIGHT have been a tiny chance that Ozzie could have been blindsided during this tribal. But Jeff, in a desperate "attempt" to save himself, 100% guaranteed that HE was indeed out. Had he just shut up, he might have had a 5% chance.
I’ve always agreed with this the tribe seemed to be agreeing with what Varner was saying before he outed Zeke and it was leaning towards an Ozzy blindside
+Peter McGill it wasn’t a “lock in,” when there are plans given, you consider them. we only see 40 minutes of 72 hours, they’re obviously always going to keep some scenes out to keep anonymity of who’s actually going to blindside the viewers and shock them
I wondered that too. Varner's paranoia about being voted out turned into a "self fulfilling prophecy". Any time that Ozzy is at Tribal without an idol, there's ALWAYS a chance he'll be blindsided.
No, I'm tired of people spreading this lie. Varner was always the plan. The cast confirmed it in post game interviews. If the plan was to vote out Ozzy they would have shown it.
@@Im.me.hi. Watch how Varner goes from actively throwing Zeke under the bus to save his own skin, to using his 'trans friends' as a shield when called out while denying and downplaying the impact of his actions, to saying he feels "a little bit" ashamed when Jeff points out Varner just tanked his own credibility while going back to explaining his reasoning, to claiming he's Zeke's "biggest cheerleader" to backpedal and regain sympathy. That's not a sequence of events by someone who's genuinely remorseful for their actions, that's someone who's sorry he got caught making a bad play. Outing someone carries the risk of ruining their life, if not outright endangering it; I feel no sympathy for a man whose own life is ruined in the act of risking another's.
Deception of not telling anybody, which I can guarantee you back in Varners initial season back in 2000 I he said that would have been taken into consideration with and used as motive to get rid of zeke as hiding things back then especially of this nature was frowned upon and loathed back then, that’s what Varner was thinking instilled at the time as he knew he was done for and was fighting for his life in the game. I
this makes me cry every time. zeke is so inspiring for the way he responded to the situation & kudos to the tribe for backing him up. mainstream television has come such a long way from when i was a kid & it makes me so happy
@@VojkanTrifunovic He's inspiring because he handled it with grace and maturity. He could have easily flown off the handle and gone off on Varner (which would have been totally understandable) but instead he chose to forgive him and tell everyone he's okay. He even ends up giving Varner a hug. I definitely could not have done that
That was the most hateful thing I've ever seen on this show! Even worse then pushing down a one leg Lady..on another season! Zeke looked horrified and he was trusting of Varner..I hope he never is able to be on the show ever again!
This isn't even the closest to the most hateful thing on Survivor. I don't think Varner was even hateful at all, just horribly stupid. People these days have no idea what the word "hate" actually means. You've probably done something more hateful in the past 24 hours than what Varner did.
There was a girl stold all the food on one also knocked down a girl with one leg that was hateful to..im not hateful and you see alot of it on this show
Calvin Bost he literally said that zeke not telling people he was trans was deception, and was making a huge deal about it to hype the situation up before he outed him
Alexis Snyder well in the context of playing in survivor it is, as that could weaken the tribe in challenges and immunities if left alone and not mentioned as that person competes in challenges where medically it would make it hard for them to compete and hence stuff up potentially too lol.
@@nathankumar5987 He was in no way deceitful, and if someone was six and didnt say, if they perform badly right away they would just be voted off. He did nothing wrong and lied about nothing. It is his personal information that he did not need to share.
I was so happy that they held tribal counsel right there without using the parchment. I'm happy for Zeke, I had no clue about him transitioning, but I also had no reason to have that knowledge. The way Varner did it was so wrong. It had absolutely NOTHING to do with the game.
I actually witnessed someone at work do this to another co-worker and I chewed him out for it. Said individual was also gay. I remember thinking under the circumstances he should be more understanding, What another co-worker told me was "Well he's open about it, he doesn't understand why anyone would want to keep it private." That's actually pretty arrogant to assume it's easy for everyone to be open.
Well Zeke obviously told varner in private probably because he trusted varner. So how is that deception if he told varner the truth. If he chooses not to tell anyone else that's not deception he just doesn't feel like they need to know
JuliAFan RoSe well that’s a another sign that Varner was going home theoretically lol, as Varner wouldn’t have been here for others to tell if he was booted without this being brought up
I don’t think he actually told Varner, it looks like Varner simply figured it out based on the confessions leading up to tribal council. Zeke had also said he wanted to keep it secret. He would have been talking to Varner or anyone else in front of cameras so I doubt he would have brought it up.
I hope Varner feels guilty enough about that everyday to get his shit figured out in his own head and heart, because that was an awful thing to do. Zeke handled it so well and i hope he made Varner really think abt what he did.
I remember watching this show a day after it aired, only hearing of the argument at tribal, thinking Varner was on to something! Legit thought Zeke had a dirty secret in terms of PLAYSTYLE! Then just ousted him as transgender, something completely personal and no correlation with the game, and I had Jeff's face at 0:45 the whole time. Like Jeff, I couldn't fathom going that far to someone.
That's it. Sometimes you should just never say something because once you created the damage, you can never get it back. Honestly, I don't feel that he is really apologetic. Can't feel it.
Chu_OW nope editing makes you think that’s but tribe still needed Ozzy around for challenges and he was strength of it. Why else would Varner feel the need to fight for his life like he did, he ain’t no rookie of the game, he was a veteran who played right at the start of it, post mid phase and then later stage, you’d think he know what’s up as a whole going to tribals
Sometimes I feel like there’s a format for certain seasons. I feel like if I was on the show I would realize it. Cambodia and Game Changers had the same format. 2 tribes of 10, 2 eliminations, tribe expansion into 3, 3 go home, dissolve into 2 tribes of 7 and 8, 2 leave, merge. Had they realized this, Ozzy would’ve gone for sure.
I don’t even think Varner is this horrible monster. He just was grasping at straws and made a really STUPID decision in the heat of the moment. The man is gay himself and I’m sure he has done lots of work for and supported gay/trans rights. I know where his heart is on the subject and on Zeke. He just absolutely made a rash, very wrong decision and I bet he has beaten himself up ever since and would take it back if he could. I respect Zeke for just wanting to be Zeke the survivor and not the token trans survivor.
Tina King I disagree completely. It was completely premeditated, as Varner himself admitted. Furthermore, his attempts at apologizing and comments after the show aired indicated that he still wasn’t truly contrite and if anything felt like he was the one who had been shortchanged, rather than taking responsibility for his despicable and depraved actions.
His logic made no sense, he tried to say Zeke is capable of deception but then quickly said "I'm not knocking him". Then what was the point of saying it?
Varner is such a fake ally. At first, he says “I fight for the rights of trans people every day. I would never hurt anyone here.” Then, two seconds later, he tells Jeff, “I’m arguing for my life. I feel like I have to throw everything at the wall.” It just sounds so inauthentic. At first, he seemed passionate about standing up for trans people, but then he feels burdened, as if to say, “Oh, what do I have to do to get everyone to stop yelling at me”
He thought he was gonna save himself by throwing Zeke under the bus by outing him, He thought the tribe would be outraged at Zeke. He quickly realized it was an idiotic misfire and tried to go on damage control. Too late.
I don't know how a human being could be capable of spewing personal information about someone like he did. That was a total dick move, and I hope karma has paid him a visit many times over. That could have pushed a weaker person over the edge.
@Nathan Featherstone Um they mean Jeff Varner, not Jeff Probst. And also Jeff Probst has only hosted 3 seasons since: Island of the Idols, Winners at War, and Survivor 41’s filming is already done
I remember watching this tribal council when Jeff outed Zeke and I my reaction was "What the fuck" followed by Jeff is so definitely being voted out tonight.
I feel very bad for Zeke and he didn’t deserve it. But I also feel a little bad for Varner because he was very desperate and wanted to make the jury so bad and threw everything he could, it just was stupid what he did
Varner is the 2nd worst competitor ever to play Survivor, my list of Worst Competitors are as follows #1) Dan Spilo (WORST!!!). #2) Jeff Varner, #3) Colton Cumbie #4) Abi-Maria Gomes #5) Pete Yurkowski #6) Sophie Clarke
@@thewachannel4537 Wasn't unnecessary since it worked in his favor. RC and Abi we're the closest so he needed to split them up. Not only was the way he split them up smart but it actually worked.
@@bomberdawesome those two were probably falling out with or without Pete planting the idol, he just so happened to light the match. Overall, it did help his game as he gained control of the tribe and had the numbers at the merge before Skupin and Lisa backstabbed him.
He really thought he was making some slam dunk case for being kept on the island. “That’s not the intention I had.” Your intention was to throw someone under the bus to save yourself.
This tribal began and I thought damn, Varner is on fire! Then just when I felt he was about to flip things, he went completely nuts. It's pretty much Michael Scott in The Office telling a killer joke, then immediately spoiling it by saying he'd shoot Toby twice over Hitler and Bin Laden.
Fun fact- production didn’t want to release the footage of Zeke being outed out of respect for zeke, but zeke wanted them to air it so it could educate the viewers

At first, he seemed passionate about standing up for trans people, but then he feels burdened, as if to say, “Oh, what do I have to do to get everyone to stop yelling at me”
He thought he was gonna save himself by throwing Zeke under the bus by outing him, He thought the tribe would be outraged at Zeke. He quickly realized it was an idiotic misfire and tried to go on damage control. Too late.
This just changed his life forever..
This was a shock the night it aired
I don't know how a human being could be capable of spewing personal information about someone like he did. That was a total dick move, and I hope karma has paid him a visit many times over. That could have pushed a weaker person over the edge.
Jeff just ended his own career. I loved him in Australia but holy shit this is low
@Nathan Featherstone Um they mean Jeff Varner, not Jeff Probst. And also Jeff Probst has only hosted 3 seasons since: Island of the Idols, Winners at War, and Survivor 41’s filming is already done
@@Cheesecake0001 Actually He’s hosted survivor since season 1 back in 2000.
@@Cheesecake0001 Game Changers is not 38. 38 is Edge of Extinction. Game Changers is 34.
Jeff Probst: You’re SORRY??!?
Zeke is a beautiful person
I bet Jeff instantly regretted asked Varner to "continue..."
I remember watching this tribal council when Jeff outed Zeke and I my reaction was "What the fuck" followed by Jeff is so definitely being voted out tonight.
Oddly they are friends to this day he was truly sorry and went to therapy to get over this mistake
I feel very bad for Zeke and he didn’t deserve it. But I also feel a little bad for Varner because he was very desperate and wanted to make the jury so bad and threw everything he could, it just was stupid what he did
The original “you need to leave”
I know Debbie is crazy but I loved her a lot in this moment.
0:27
The moment two men's lives changed forever
@Nathan Featherstone bruh why you gotta do that? What are you accomplishing?
Whenever people on these reality shows say "It's just a game" stuff like this, shows that it isn't.
You could see the disgust ripple through the casts' faces. 😬
Someone hug him damnit
Just a hard tribal counsel to watch everyone was shocked and emotional as fuck. 😬
This made me cry. This didn’t need to happen. 🏳️⚧️
if i was there i would have laughed like crazy
He is yelp reviewer by day and an outer by night, multifaceted.
Varner is the 2nd worst competitor ever to play Survivor, my list of Worst Competitors are as follows
#1) Dan Spilo (WORST!!!).
#2) Jeff Varner,
#3) Colton Cumbie
#4) Abi-Maria Gomes
#5) Pete Yurkowski
#6) Sophie Clarke
Pete was entertaining though.
@@bomberdawesome No he wasn't, I hated how he planted the Idol clue in RC's bag, that was so UNNECESSARY!!!
@@thewachannel4537 Wasn't unnecessary since it worked in his favor. RC and Abi we're the closest so he needed to split them up. Not only was the way he split them up smart but it actually worked.
@@bomberdawesome those two were probably falling out with or without Pete planting the idol, he just so happened to light the match. Overall, it did help his game as he gained control of the tribe and had the numbers at the merge before Skupin and Lisa backstabbed him.
how on earth did Sophie make the list and yet Skupin didn't?
0:43 - though subtle, look at Jeff's right hand...in a fist and shaking
Andrea crying made me cry. But dude so wrong for him to do that to Zeke.
Tai comforting jeff
He really thought he was making some slam dunk case for being kept on the island. “That’s not the intention I had.” Your intention was to throw someone under the bus to save yourself.
The part I hate the most is the reunion where Jeff didn’t show he was sorry at all
This tribal began and I thought damn, Varner is on fire! Then just when I felt he was about to flip things, he went completely nuts. It's pretty much Michael Scott in The Office telling a killer joke, then immediately spoiling it by saying he'd shoot Toby twice over Hitler and Bin Laden.
Horrific. Poor Zeke. That asshole.
I love general and regulated “one time sex” this is great thank you Jeff 😍
“why haven’t you told anyone you were transgender”
but then later on goes to say
“i had no idea that nobody knew”
They (probably) would not have aired this section if Zeke had problems with being outed TV
2:03 is the moment you realized he was not sorry at all....
How so?
You know you fucked up when you piss Tai off.
This is the worst thing anyone has ever done on Survivor....before Dan entered the picture
