So my question to you to decide for us: In the context of \u2018Survivor,\u2019 is a word like \u2018guys\u2019 okay, or is it time to retire that word?\u201d<\/p>\n<p>One contestant Evvie Jagoda, who identified herself as a \u201cqueer woman,\u201d responded saying she did not see the phrase as problematic.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI personally think \u2018guys\u2019 is okay,\u201d she smiled. \u201c\u2018Come in guys\u2019 is such a signature expression. I, as a woman, as a queer woman, do not feel excluded by \u2018guys.&#8217;\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cDoes anybody disagree?\u201d Probst followed up, after which there was a pause until another female contestant responded, \u201cno.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe feel okay keeping guys?\u201d the show\u2019s veteran host asked again.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cGuys is good,\u201d another woman agreed.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cOkay, mark it down. Discussed and decided,\u201d Probst said.<\/p>\n<p>Later on day three of the show, just before the first immunity challenge, a male contestant revisited the issue with Probst.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe reality is, there was so much going on, there was so much commotion, cameras, my hair is messed up, I\u2019m half crying, I don\u2019t have the capacity to do what I\u2019m really supposed to do, which I regret,\u201d contestant Ricard Foy\u00e9 told Probst as his fellow contestants listened.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI don\u2019t agree that we should use the word, guys. I fully agree that we should change it, whether it just be dropping the guys, changing it to something else. I just don\u2019t really agree with it,\u201d Foy\u00e9 said.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe reality is, \u2018Survivor\u2019 has changed over the last 21 years and those changes have allowed all of us, all of these brown people, black people, Asian people, so many queer people to be here simultaneously,\u201d Foy\u00e9 added.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt\u2019s a great point, and I gotta say, I love that you thought about it more,\u201d Probst responded. \u201cI love that you had the courage, inside a million-dollar game in which standing up anytime is risky, to bring it up again, because I\u2019m with you. I want to change it. I\u2019m glad that was the last time I will ever say it.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Probst added that he realizes that \u201csomebody right now is on social media saying, \u2018Oh, he caved.\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt\u2019s @JeffProbst on Twitter. I\u2019ll probably never read it anyway,\u201d the host quipped. \u201cAll right, I love that we just made a change from now on. It is, \u2018come on in.&#8217;\u201d<\/p>\n<p>However, old habits die hard, and contestants continued to call each other \u201cguys\u201d several more times, even in the same episode.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cYou guys kept going, you were awesome,\u201d one contestant says.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cSo sorry, you guys,\u201d says another.<\/p>\n<p>Even Probst himself forgets his promise and calls the group \u201cguys\u201d at a tribal council.<\/p>\n<p>During the show\u2019s last season, which was filmed in 2019, a #MeToo scandal erupted.<\/p>\n<p>Contestant Dan Spilo was accused of \u201cinappropriate touching\u201d by another cast member and was subsequently ejected from the show after what the show described as \u201canother incident, which happened off-camera and did not involve a player.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><i>The Daily Wire is one of America\u2019s fastest-growing conservative media companies and counter-cultural outlets for news, opinion, and entertainment.
