Kel Gleason was a 33-year-old Army Intelligence Officer stationed at Fort Hood, Texas when he competed on Survivor: The Australian Outback. A West Point graduate, Kel brought military discipline and survival training to the Ogakor tribe. He became infamous for the beef jerky scandal when Jerri Manthey accused him of smuggling beef jerky into the game, a claim that was never proven. Despite his military background and physical abilities, Kel was voted out second on Day 6 as the first member eliminated from the Ogakor tribe.
