You can tell that when the realization of what he did hit Jeff that he was destroyed as a person. Its easy to be angry at someone for this, but it takes a strong person to forgive and try to comfort, Zeke was really a hero here.
The one thing about survivor and Brad talked about it, is its just as much of a social experiment as it is merely a game. You put a bunch of people on an Island with bad weather. Starve them, sleep deprive them, physically challenge them and hang a huge cash price and their normal instincts and decisions aren't going to happen.
I'm sure on a normal day Jeff wouldn't have even thought of doing something like that, it might have crossed his mind but been promptly dismissed.
Go a long time without food or bad food, don't get good REM sleep, be cold wet and dirty and the only light at the end of the tunnel is winning and sometimes your going to do something so far out of character that its almost like being outside of your body and watching yourself do it.
I feel bad for Jeff because it was clear that he was devastated by doing something that's pretty much unforgivable.
My sense is he's going to be excused from the reunion show so it doesn't become about him and his act.

I highly doubt it, that was the longest tribal ever for a reason...they are certainly gonna go over it again
haven't heard this much buzz about survivor in years and its certainly a hot topic in society right now
