“Survivor” host Jeff Probst was really impressed with the way Zeke Smith — a “Survivor” contestant who was outed as transgender by another during a Tribal Council — handled the negative situation.
“It was as if he had been preparing for this absolutely unpredictable, completely public, and incredibly vulnerable moment for his entire life. His composure was astounding,” Probst said in an interview with Entertainment Weekly.
Probst gave a behind-the-scenes look into the Tribal Council where contestant Jeff Varner forcibly outed Smith, specifically his perspective on Smith’s reaction, which he said impressed him despite the horror of the situation.
