um ... I think it's the first one, but it just started showing up on PBS, so I'm not sure.

Holy shit what the FUCK just happened on Survivor.
And since I think not a lot of us are still watching, it was this: a gay man just outed a trans man at Tribal to demonstrate how "deceptive" he (the trans man) could be.
To their credit, the immediate, instant response from everyone else was pretty much straight up horror, but god damn. It was painful watching the outed guy's stone face. He was far more gracious than the asshole deserved.

Brenda, I just saw an article about it (haven't watched survivor since the first season) but I was heartened by how the rest of the folks seemed to react, at least?

That's the only thing that made it tolerable. Probst too - as much of a dudebro as he usually is, he's really good in a crisis. Stayed mostly out of it except to step up to point out when the guy's explanations were BS, and to make sure he wasn't minimizing.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.
That was AMAZING. I was impressed with how instantly everyone leapt to Zeke's defense. I found the whole thing ended up blog quite moving. But also, fuck Varner--that was low.

I wasn't watching.. I've found this season kind of annoying. But I read about it.
And the guy who outed Zeke says he's an ally. That is just horrible.

Sounds like he just stepped up to be the next one voted off the island.

He was voted off, that's actually why he outed Zeke. Varner was on the bottom and everyone had decided to vote him out. Zeke went to Varner and told him he was going to be voted out. Zeke did this because he felt it was the right thing to do.
So in some kind of desperation (I guess) Varner decided to out Zeke and I guess pepole would think Zeke was deceptive and vote him out instead

I haven't been a dedicated Survivor watcher in a long time but I happened to catch this live last night and I was gobsmacked! I've never seen anything like it. What was Varner thinking? And Zeke was far more composed than I could have ever been.
I just hope they spoke with Zeke about how this storyline would be handled this season. What a horrific thing to experience. I mean, I get that Survivor would never pass up airing something like this because, hello! Money. But there's more than money at stake here. This is someone's life.
