This is from SSboard... and from a Jp interview

There was a lengthy interview with Jeff Probst in my paper today (2 pages) where Probst said he was, "Busy packing his bags for Africa when you guys (TV Extra) called!"

Here are the details:

The show has proved a hit around the world, with thousands of potential castaways lining up to be a part of the next series, which starts filming in Africa in July.
"We have not decided specifically where, but we are teasing Africa," Probst says. "At the end of the current series we have a reunion show and do a little tease. I am going to Nairobi to film it."
Probst has no doubts that Africa is going to be the ultimate physical and mental challenge for the lucky 16 who are chosen from the expected 60,000 applications.
"I don't know what we are going to do about water, and there is a lot of wildlife," he says. "Australia was very tough, but Africa is certainly going to be the most challenging environment."

- The title of Survivor 3 is going to be, "Survivor III: The African Savannah"
- Jeff says, "I think Keith played the game the best this time around. He adapted very well to the environment"

Probably the most logical place to film it (there or the Amazon, you can't be in a cold location). I guess that means he won't be at the reunion show on Thursday.

Just because he was backing his bags doesn't mean he was leaving right then... LOL, nothing gets past you Wilson!

Well, last time, he wasn't there, and of course they don't to want upstage Bryant Gumbel! LOL... He might be there, if only to count the votes. But I wouldn't be suprised if he wasn't.

Did Jeff really say that about Keith? Or did you get one past Wilson?

sure bodes well for Keith as a final winner if he said that.

Highlander--it's possible, although it's also possible he just meant that Keith adapted the best/griped the least, or a combination of those.

If he was picking and eating mushrooms that may have affected JP saying that. Of course that is a function of knowing the mushrooms, not adapting to the Outback.

I do hope it is an indication he won though. If you go by popular vote though, Keith is the person to take into the final 2 though, so others vote for other than Keith. I'm sure that is what Kelly thought about Richard too.

Just because he adapted well does not mean he won. In fact I would take that as an indication that he didn't. Jeff was there a lot to observe and saw something about him that maybe displayed an ease the others lacked.

I just can't see the jury voting for him above the other 2. I'm putting Lances money on Tina.
