Survivor - Probst knows who won

[dr.strangelove]

The following article is about Survivor's resident hero, Jeff Probst. What I found pretty cool was this line:
"He also is excited about the final outcome." a really good finish, one of the best winners we've had in a really long time."
I did not know that he knew who the winenr was. I thought they wanted it to be fresh on live TV so he did nto know. I guess as a producer, he gets to know.

Jeff Probst's Real-Life Survivor Skills Help Woman

Looks like Jeff Probst has learned a thing or two about survival during his nine years snuffing out tiki torches.

At tonight's Academy of Magical Arts Awards ceremony in Hollywood (hosted by Neil Patrick Harris), we witnessed as the Survivor host caught a camerawoman who suddenly suffered a seizure as he answering questions for her media outlet.

"She fell into my arms, basically," Jeff told us exclusively right after the incident. "She had a seizure and she didn't know it. When she came back to she said, 'I'm fine,' and she had no idea. Then she had another one."

When the woman suffered her second seizure, Jeff jumped into action again, catching her, holding her and lowering her to the ground. A few minutes later, she came to and tried to get up, and Jeff held her head steady and explained that she needed to stay put until the ambulance arrived. He stayed with her until medical personnel arrived at the scene.

So what does Jeff have to say about this gallant display?

"I think anybody would react to that," he told us tonight. "That's just another person in trouble. Anybody would do that. It's amazing how quickly you can get into trouble."

As for the current season of Survivor (Tocantins), Jeff promises more twists and turns coming our way. "There's a record number of blindsides this year, which is always fun. There's more tribal councils where people don't know they're going home and they get zapped than we ever had before." He also is excited about the final outcome." a really good finish, one of the best winners we've had in a really long time."

1. Scratching head

Trying to figure out who, from the current group, could be "one of the best winners we've had a in a long time." I'm just not seeing it.

2. Its gotta be coach

That guy is a freaking psycho. I hate him so much I am actually pulling for him to win it. I think I am becoming like Tyson, actually cheering for bad things to happen on the show so I can watch the trainwreck. I am convinced that this season will be a trainwreck with Tyson, Coach and Debbie winning. I hope I am wrong, but thats about the only thing I can see making this such a great season.

3. Ack!

Bite your tongue, Strangelove! If Coach wins this, I will come to your house and barf in all your shoes for even thinking it!

4. Thanks!

LOL. Thanks. That is too funny. Probst did say there were a lot of backstabs, so maybe coach's knife in teh back will be a huge surprise. I hope so.

5. Ego

I'm certain Coach is going to get blindsided big time. His ego simply won't allow room for the thought that people might not like him and want him voted off.

I have a feeling someone from Team Secret is going to take this, particularly Brendan.

6. Woo hoo! I picked Brendan!

:woohoo:

But I think they are being a little too obvious in their secret alliance. I think it is going to backfire on them.

7. I agree

They need to be very careful.
