Jeff Probst on episode 7 of 'Survivor: South Pacific'
by Dalton Ross

"Each week, host Jeff Probst answers a few questions about the most recent episode of Survivor: South Pacific.

ENTERTAINMENT WEEKLY: Okay, Jeff. You’re on the Savaii tribe and Ozzy presents his plan to get voted out on purpose..."

"Tease us up for next week’s episode, Jeff.
If you thought Ozzy’s move was good, just wait till next week. Game Changer."

Someone in Sean's blog comments, posted that now none of his teammates will vote for Cochran. That's possible, but would they have voted for him anyway? I could see his tribe mates saying he just rode on everyone else's coattails.

But whatever, it makes him a very desirable final partner. People will want to take him because folks will think he can't win. But we have seen strange things happen at final vote.

It just comes down to who can put their ego and injured feelings aside and vote for the person who played the best game. And if Cochran should make it to the end, he could make an argument for deserving the win.

You can go here to see Jeff talking about the episode while the episode airs. He gets ?s from twitter and facebook and answers them. If he likes them, he'll send you a buff.

(If you go there now, you can see all the short videos that were done previously. There is a lot of them.)

you can go back and watch his past touting. You can see him working out and shopping at Target. 23 days ago, I think maybe he touted all day long.

Sean, I am not sure who your target audience is for your recaps, but I am getting a bit uncomfortable reading about the alleged innuendos that I don't think are innuendos of the sort you are implying. I know, I know, I can quit reading, and it could come to that, but, um, maybe if you, like, peeled a couple bananas or juiced a couple coconuts or something before watching the show, your thoughts would take a different direction?

Frankly, I usually prefer Sean's recaps to Dalton's snarky stuff. At Dalton's I mostly enjoy the hidden videos on his last page.

But I know in the past it was such a struggle just to find the site so I just plug them in here in case anyone else wants to read.

And I, for one, surely appreciate that you do that, Biscotti!

Juju, I don't read Sean as implying that there are hidden innuendos - just quoting malapropisms from Jeff such as come out of all of our mouths from time to time. JMHO. of course!

Jeff's choice of words is funny at times. These Survivors aren't exactly a yuck a minute. Ya gotta find humor where you can. I like Sean's blogs. The best part is the picture captions. Maybe we should start a thread here for funny picture captions (like we do for Big Brother)?

As a HS teacher, I think those exact same thoughts in Sean's blog, largely because whenever any teacher says anything remotely similar, the entire classroom erupts in snorts and giggles! Shoot, I still remember, 25 years later, the day MY high school chemistry teacher did a lesson and then said he would divide us into the "heteros" and the "homos" (heterogeneous vs. homogenous cells), but the short version he used caused so much laughter we didn't do work for at least 10 minutes!!

Juju2bigdog, you're clearly mis-interpreting my intentions. I write a sarcastic commentary of Survivor, and if I see repeated used of suggestive phrases like "Ozzy releases his coconuts", then I'm doing a dis-service NOT drawing attention to it.

It's basic human nature to laugh at something that comes across in a suggestive manner. If it happened once or twice, maybe I wouldn't draw attention to it each week...but when it is constantly worded in a way MEANT to suggest an innuendo, then yes, I'm going to draw attention to it every single time.

My audience isn't horny teenagers who need to get a suggestive image in their head, it's people who appreciate humour, satire, and sarcasm within the parameters of a TV show.

Thanks for reading anyways, whether you return or not, and thanks to everyone else for the kind words. :-)

I prefer to think that what Jeff is uttering are a series of malapropisms, not innuendos - but then I could be wrong!

I'll add my voice to those who like Sean's recaps. I don't necessarily read them each week, but when I do I find them really enjoyable.

I know that when I do spoiling, which I just stated this season, the whole exercise is incredibly subjective and one is bound to find people who don't appreciate the humor or take your ribbing the wrong way. But Sean's recaps often contain elements I have missed in the spoiling or have an entirely different take on the events that have unfolded than mine do; all those voices add to the enjoyment of the show, which we wouldn't bother to write about if we didn't enjoy it.

Besides, it's not easy doing recaps/spoilers. Most of the time I'd prefer to be a passive observer, so I'll take what I can get.
