Jeff Varner

Known for

Varner was a core member of the Kucha Alliance in the Australian Outback, and Kucha walked into the merge dead even with Ogakor. The first merged vote locked at 5-5 between him and Colby Donaldson, and the tiebreak on past votes sent Jeff home.

In Cambodia he came back determined to prove an old-schooler could play the new game, flipping on the new-school crowd on Ta Keo to take out Shirin Oskooi. The swap to Angkor gave his side the numbers but also a bare camp, and after Tasha Fox caught him trying to signal Kelly Wiglesworth, the hardship and the infighting wore him down until Andrew Savage and Tasha voted him out. Game Changers began well with Michaela Bradshaw and Sandra Diaz-Twine, and together they took out J.T. Thomas. After a second swap left him on the bottom, a desperate Jeff outed Zeke Smith as a transgender man at Tribal Council. Everyone else there, including host Jeff Probst, quickly rebuked him, Jeff apologized, and Probst took an open roll call and eliminated him without a formal vote.
