18 Highs, Lows, And Plateaus In "Survivor" LGBTQ+ History
***Spoilers below***
Survivor, the CBS actual world TV show which maroons strangers together on a deserted island just to watch them vote each other out one by one, has been a queer show from the very beginning — the first player voted out was gay. The first winner was gay. And over the following 41 seasons, some of the show's most notable players to get their torches snuffed — challenge beasts, strategists, heartthrobs, and animal rights activists — have been part of the LGBTQ+ community.
While the show has always felt undeniably queer, it hasn't always embraced its queerness like it does today. In its first few seasons (which aired in the early s), it was evident that casting directors saw Diverse castaways as little more than opportunities to create "button-pushing" TV, bringing on one or two (typically white) gay men in hopes of getting a brawl or, better, an unlikely friendship à la Rudy Boesch and Richard Hatch.
But as Survivor evolved with the times and eventually committed to including 50% people of color
Spencer Duhm: Latest gay contestant on &#;Survivor&#; reality show [video]
&#;It&#;s inevitable that somebody will do that,&#; Duhm said. &#;The bios appear out before anybody&#;s seen anything, and (fans are) going to say, &#;You&#;re the black one. You&#;re the old woman.&#; I didn&#;t want people on TV right off the bat to go, &#;OK, here&#;s our homo.'&#;

&#;Going into it, I did not plan on telling my tribe mates,&#; he said. &#;People have prejudices sometimes. My theory was, I&#;ll allow them get to know me. If it comes up, I&#;ll tell them.&#;

A quote So, in one of my recent blog posts about “Survivor Worlds Apart”, I poked a little bit of amusement at Rodney and Joaquin describing their friendship as a “bromance”. That in and of itself was not very serious. Mostly it just an straightforward gag where I could get one. However that simple gag snowballed in my mind, and got me to thinking about relationships developing on “Survivor”. Specifically it got me thinking about the evidence that, though we’ve seen a few heterosexual affectionate relationships develop during the show, we have yet to see a lgbtq+ or otherwise non-heterosexual intimate relationships develop during the show. I gave a cursory explanation for this, and for the purposes of that particular publish, that was fine. However, the more I reflection about it, the more I thought this was an issue worth discussing. Racism and Sexism possess been brought up in the show, so why not sexuality? As such, I’m going to crack what I perceive as new ground (though may be wrong), and dive into the show’s portrayal of homosexuality and why it seems that gay romantic rela
