”Survivor” host Jeff Probst was as shocked as viewers when contestant Jeff Varner outed fellow contestant Zeke Smith as transgender in Wednesday’s episode. As Probst told EW:In 34 seasons of “Survivor,” I have rarely, if ever, personally commented on what is said or done in the game. Given plenty of time between filming “Survivor” and the episode’s debut, Smith has attempted to make sense of the outing. “It was one of the most raw and painful studies of human behavior that has ever happened on ‘Survivor,’” the host told EW. ET): CBS released a statement confirming they spoke with Zeke Smith to get his approval on airing the moment.
