Remember way back to the first survivor and everyone thought he was stiff and geeky? Made fun of his "the tribe has spoken".

He has loosened up - relaxed and does an excellent job!! (needs a change in wardrobe island wear though)

Jeff is the best host since he was there! He made sure everyone had a chance to say something and asked good questions. But, in retrospect, I think this season was the most boring. What does everyone think?

Jeff IS the best and it was a great finale. The only thing that I didn't like was his little commercial about how he doesn't know what type of person it takes to win. "First there was Richard Hatch ... then Vecepia Towery who was under the radar, and now Brian, you were anything but under the radar." -- this seemed to be his endorsement of MBs editing and a way of saying the show is not formulaic.

Yup, he was great. We all know Jeff, he was there with them the whole time, it was appropriate that he hosted the finale, he looked great, he's awesome!

I agree Jeff did a great job. I just wish they would let each survivor talk for a few minutes.
I was rolling when he Erin said I wanted to be knowm as the smart girl not the hot chick with big boobs and Jeff said something like 'or both'

One other thing that I noticed, after Jeff talked to Tanya about her dad, during the cut to commercial break, just as the camera was panning back, he got up from his stool, walked over to her and gave her a nice hug - he's just a world-class guy!

Dimples to die for!!

He was pretty cute this morning when he and Mark Burnett were presenting the check to Brian.. Brian was answering Julie with totally teflon answers and Mark and Jeff just cracked up and finally Mark said to Brian.. you won.. .. as in stop with the PR..

Anyway Jeff was flashing those dimples this morning for sure.

I think Jeff saved the Survivor V!! I would have rather any of the jury won, other than Brian or Clay, so I wasn't going to watch the "Reunion". Then Jeff said two words and I thought it might be worth watching afterall! The last two episodes were such a downer, but Jeff's handling of everyone in the last hour was just great. Everyone got their say, and he really pressed them to get the answers we wanted. And he's cute. A great host.

I agree he was, by FAR, the best Reunion host in Survivor history. I think the fact that he knew them and they knew him had something to do with it, but he's genuine and asks the questions that the fans would ask.

My only complaint would be the 5+ minute commercials throughout the reunion. It was pretty much 6 minutes of questions, 5 minutes of commercials thoughout. One of my pet peeves about T.V.

I'm in agreement with everyone here. A much better reunion show that all the others. Jeff's insights to what he saw during the game helped out with some of his tougher questions. He also set the stage for the show being about answering questions and giving information about what went on--not just about getting camera time and filling a spot for the host to look good.

Jeff shows loyalty to the game and to what the potential is for each person to get something to take all throughout life. He also has a loyalty to the players and knows what they go through--he can relate to their game experience.

He seems to see the good and the bad in the way each person played the game, as well as the good and the bad about how they are as people he made it clear that Brian has been one of the best (if not the very best) at playing the game, yet immediately made it clear he didn't appreciate the evasive answers during the show.

He indicated that Robb was basically one of the most immature to play the game so far--yet was the first to say that Robb grew up and changed as a person to the greatest degree of anyone to date.

Jeff knows it's TV, yet also knows what the viewers want covered, and makes sure it happens. He balanced the tactics of the game with the human side of what people go through and take away (the spot about Jake and his wife)

I'd love to see a tape/DVD come out showing all of every TC. I have a feeling Jeff asks some great questions during the game that we never get to see. And that means we don't see the affect it has on the players--especially the jury.

I agree with you all- loved that reunion show and felt that for once it was really satisfying- made up a lot for the previous two hours which were really lacklustre. I thought he poked just the right amount of fun- I laughed my head off when he said Robb with 2 b's! I never really liked Jeff before- reminded me of a gung ho camp counsellor type, but, boy Thursday night really changed my mind!

Even watching with fuzzy picture I loved it. Jeff was so much better than we had previously.

I also would love to see all Survivor series on DVD's, can you imagine some outakes they would have? Now that would be too funny.. :)
