Survivor , the CBS reality 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. While the show has always felt undeniably queer, it hasn't always embraced its queerness like it does today.
