correct, he said something really stupid and offensive and thought he could pull it off as a gameplay move. when the response became immediately clear that he had crossed a line far further than he believed, he got remorseful. like i said, i don't think it's insincere - he really didn't know how exactly what he had done. but it's not up to me to judge whether his response is worthy of forgiveness.

I believe everything about Jeff misguiding himself and his remorse in the aftermath, and I believe what I've read about it since. I feel bad that he was fired over it, but that is understandable in this day and age. Zeke's response was commendable, and in all honesty, I feel a bit selfishly positive about said response because I picked Zeke as my prediction to win in the rankdown topic and his edit was most certainly bolstered in how things turned out, so I would love to see his chances of winning improve. I'm not buying the Sarah train. Losing finalist? I can buy that. Winner? No. Too much of the reaction shown was negative (eye-rolling, cymbal-effect shots). She did stick up for Zeke yes, but as Inviso said, she made it too much about her, and we as the audience were meant to empathize both with Zeke and with remorseful Jeff. Sarah's narrative was contradictory to this. The other edits on the tribe were null tells.

Brad's edit continues to be positive. Troyzan still looks good. Aubrey and Cirie centering on Brad is good for them.

As for BBCAN5, The spoilered "implications" posts did spoilerishly lead me to predict the outcome (I knowingly revealed them to myself like a fool lol but all good. However, at the end of the episode, in terms of Survivor... 2 hour Survivor episode next week as BBCAN will air later as a result. This is interesting and I expect to have ideas from it as it plays out :P

i actually think sarah had a really strong reaction and i thought it was the most genuine that she wasn't willing to say "yeah, it's okay" to jeff. i think she also really didn't know how to articulate that, partially because she was so surprised by her own reaction.

i always want to take these things with a grain of salt as far as edits go because i'm sure everyone had a lot to say and they put it together in the way that most comprehensively (in their view) told the story that zeke wanted.

so that sarah's response had a lot to do with her or that we didn't see ozzy say much really just says more about what they chose to show than anything else

They could have shown clips from other tribal councils if necessary (that's been done before; Gabon in particular was infamous for this).

Yeah, I'm pretty sure that's right. Randy said in particular that his famous reaction to the HII being fake was not from that tribal.

I mean, if the editors can manipulate challenge results to their liking, then tribal councils should be much easier.

In HvV, towards the end of the season, Rupert was on the chopping block, so they built suspense by editing challenges to make it seem like he was in the final 2 with Parvati, when in fact he'd already been eliminated.

And since this is confirmed I'd venture to say it isn't the only time it has happened given how suspiciously often this comes up.

No no.

Like, in the challenges, it's be endurance stuff. And it was around the final 8-7-6. Rupert would be shown as hanging in there, but then he'd lose to Parvati or Danielle or whoever. In actuality, he'd already dropped out of those specific challenges and it really came down to like, Parvati vs. Colby or something.

So on the Unspoiled Edgic forum, the banner typically shows the cast photo and, as each person is eliminated, they are turned to greyscale. Varner however has been completely edited out of this season's banner.

On a semi-similar note, it appears that the Survivor Wiki is refusing to include any references to Zeke being transgender, and in articles where the incident needs to be referenced it is simply referred to as "sensitive information."

Maybe he explained this on a post-edit press interview, but probably from experience around trans people allowing him to recognize certain surgical scars for what they were, a la people who sniffed this out after episode 1 of MvGX.

I think it's an important speech to include. Her speech is exactly what we as a country need more conservative Americans to realize.

She was the voice of the previously-ignorant. There are a lot of trans-ignorant people out there watching. If even one of them saw themself in her reaction, and through her reaction realized that if Zeke is trans, then they misunderstood transgenderism as a whole, and it's okay to evolve your views, then it was worth it.

I'm willing to bet (and hope) there are a LOT of people in her shoes

As a representative of Survivor Wiki, I stress that it does not have such a policy - but one of my biggest regrets of my 5+ years on the wiki was that we went too far the other way.

Back when the information came to light when S33 was airing, I was perfectly willing to out Zeke as transgender, or worse. As I alluded to in the cast ranking, I had a bad experience with Zeke the person due to a certain... incident involving the wiki.

As it stands now, we know Zeke was willing to let this be mentioned on-air. The entire viewer base knows, for better or for worse, so there's no reason to keep pretending he was always the same he is now.

I get what you're saying.

At the same time what shes saying "oh thank god i got to know you as you because otherwise id have been super uncomfortable being around a trans person and now i feel like trash?"

Like Andrea Tai and others were outraged for zeke but she was shocked and had her own personal internal meltdown ANS she turned it into this big self aggrandizing speech. she let that shock be like "this is how survivor can change you moment". Maybe in real time the others all had long airing out of their feelings too and the edit just makes her look super self involved by accident but her being the only one to speak for more than a moment just wasnt a good look.

and I guess i just dont want to give her credit for admitting to being a bigot and now not being sure about that bigotry.

The underlying why there is that if she had just heard "that zeke is trans" she probably would have treated him differently because shed have been uncomfortable being around a trans person or at least thats how i heard it and how Jakyl seems to have heard it too.

i dunno i think its pretty hard for everyone to parse what exactly was going on at that point

there was a lot of just instinctive reaction from people and sarah did her best attempt to answer what thoughts were going through her head when she was asked by jeff

like i dont really fault people for not liking her comments but i also don't expect her to be the most well-spoken person when asked for an off-the-cuff response to a shocking moment like that
