Survivor: Micronesia's Chet Welch makes his debut as Kathy's first homosexual

Last night CBS launched the new Survivor, this time set in Micronesia which is so different from Survivor: Palau and Survivor: Vanuatu ... but hey, the locale isn't why we watch Survivor anymore, is it?

****SPOILER ALERT****

As I've mentioned before, this edition includes the out Chet Welch, a Miss America beauty coach contestant who points out in the above clip that Miss America is actually the first reality show which I suppose is kind of true. BTW, Chet is one of the fans playing against the fan favorites.

Thankfully, Chet wasn't the first one voted off the island, but he still had an interesting moment when Kathy (a fellow fan) who is already gaining a reputation as being a little nutty. I've actually read some spoilers and word is she's more than a little nutty. If what I've read is true, this might truly be some must see TV!

Anyway, upon meeting Chet last night, here is what Kathy had to say:

So, like, okay, you're a homosexual. I don't even know the right word to use. Is gay okay? It doesn't mean, you wanna be a girl? [Interviewing to the camera.] Well, I knew Chet was a homosexual. You know, you can just tell he is. I don't have a problem with it, but I've never been friends with a homosexual. I think I worked with somebody in the 1980's, bartending, that was gay, but that's been about it. [Back to Chet] You can be my first gay man friend. Because I've never had a gay man friend.

Lucky Chet! See Survivor isn't just a reality show — it builds bridges and brings folks together! Gay folks and dingy folks that is! (Not that Richard Hatch wasn't a little out there himself!) Here is a clip of Kathleen sharing her obsession with her fellow contestants breasts and how she is no quitter because she's on husband number four.
