Survivor has delighted fans for the past seventeen years, with shocking scenes that show just how far people are willing to go to win the money.
However, some of the scenes were downright horrid, and they showed what the contestant was really like.
Below, we’ve compiled a list of the most shocking moments in the history of the veteran reality series.
Zeke Smith is Outed as Transgender
Zeke Smith was outed as transgender by Jeff Varner during a tense tribal council. “There is deception here. Deceptions on levels Jeff that these guys don’t even understand,” Jeff said, before turning to Zeke and adding: “Why haven’t you told anyone that you’re transgender?”
Caleb Reynolds Was Too Hot for Survivor
Caleb Reynolds was taken off the show when he collapsed and his temperature hit 110 degrees.
Colby Donaldson’s International Crime
Colby Donaldson found himself in hot water when he broke off pieces of coral from a protected reef during his stint in the outback. An apology was enough to right the wrong.

Michael Skupin was evacuated from the game when he fell into the campfire, before jumping into the ocean to get rid of the burns.
Jon Dalton the Liar
Jon Dalton lied to his contestants that his grandmother passed away during his first stint on the show to get sympathy and a much-need reprieve in the game. It was pretty awful.
Jason Siska Has a Stick
Jason Siska thought he had an immunity idol, but it was revealed to be a stick when he tried to use it. We are not even kidding.
Marcus Lehman Shows the Goods
Things took an awkward turn when Marcus Lehman’s genitals made it into the final edit and were actually broadcast on the show. Yikes.
Lex van den Berghe’s Rigged Elimination
Lex van de Berghe was eliminated after failing to win immunity. This was because he got a question wrong, but it was later revealed that he was actually right and he was given $100,000.
Sue Hawk Goes Ham
On the final tribal council of Survivor Season 1, Sue Hawk called Richard Hatch a snake and Kelly Wiglesworth a rat, before claiming they voters should allow the snake to eat the rat. Okay then.
