Does anyone get a feeling of who Jeff likes/dislikes? Last night's episode seemed to show how fed up he is with some of them already. In other seasons I had to keep guessing who he was rooting for.

I think last night he was just getting PO'd at the one tribe because they kept screwig up, I actually think he likes that tribe, but he just couldn't get it through their heads to be sure they were in the black when they had physical contact.

I bet the young slackers irritate him as much as the young slackers in Africa did.

I don't think Jeff likes Jakes tribe at all.

Robb has given him the bird and I think his patience has run out on a tribe that can't get their act together about surviving on the island.

They may have been the stronger tribe to begin with but it is clear that they lack intelligence.
All on the tribe seem to back away from a leadership role for fear of being booted off.

Jeff has said that he thinks Jan's tribe is nice and that they care about each other.
To bad Ghandia tried to stir up trouble that was not necessary.

i was actually very surprised that MB added Jeff's into the show.

There is an article posted somewhere (not inclined to dig for it) that gives the illusion that production was not all that entralled with this cast. They are a lively bunch and that was profered in such as way as to say more work and stress for them.

Watching Jeff's obvious disdain for that lummox Robb in last night's Tribal Council really made me think that this cast must have been insufferable. It's true that Robb behaves like a fool most of the time on camera, so I can only imagine how difficult it must be to get him to obey the rules and pay attention during contests. (Wasn't he the first person to break the rules during the body-contact challenge by going for the throat?) If Jeff's irritated with the cavalier behaviour of some of the tribe members, I can certainly sympathize with him. Robb's a boob and Jeff is there to run a show.

Jeff is fabulous. I love it when he gets p*ssy with the Survivors!

After the last two casts (this one and Marquesas) I am beginning to think they have run out of interesting candidates. They seem to fall for these really worthless slackers in way too high a ratio. The last two had only a handful of people to equal the earlier casts.

I seem to remember that in the last year, they changed casting agents...and the person casting worked at one time for Big Brother. It shows.

They should hire the person who does The Mole. The best casting on reality TV, bar none.

They should imprison the person who casts The Real World these days.

I don't know about you, but I think that Robb's caulky attitude (the only spelling allowed) and cavalier way of responding to Jeff's question would have ticked me off to no end - I probably would have gone off just as Jeff did...

There is a hysterical thread over at SS on the Sucks board with suggestions for jobs Jeff can do after he retires from Survivor!

The way everyone was looking around after the Jeff/Robb thing, made me think ALOT more was said than what we were shown. Those people looked like they were thinking "holy sh*t"!

Abby,I think they look around like that everytime Robb opens his mouth.

I agree Abby- I thought it was a great thing to show on TV though. I loved it- watched it a couple times! It did look like a lot more went on and that it was edited pretty tight in that section.

I like Jeff more and more when he does stuff like that. I wish they would release tapes to buy or rent of full tribal councils.

I think those looks and sidelong glances could come anywhere in the taping of TC and placed for drama. TC takes several hours and it is edited for the best content. Jeff is good. I like the man.

I've become quite the Jeff fan myself. I love when he lets his opinions be known...they almost always match my own! He seems like a fair and kind man.

I'm with ya, Ginger. These past few weeks, when he chided Robb and Clay, I really dug it! It's nice to see some context... it's great to see that Survivor is an experience for everyone involved. It keeps this season fresh and distinct from other seasons.

It really does keep it "fresh and distinct" doesn't it, Bastable? I liked Julie on BB more this year for the same reason. I know broadcaster/hosts are supposed to seem impartial, but it's nice to see some personality shine through from time to time. It makes you know that there IS a thinking/feeling person behind that veneer.

I remember on Survivor I, when Jeff appeared to be not much more than an asinine observer and cheerleader. Those days are gone thank goodness!

I don't know about you, but I MUCH prefer a host who is anything BUT impartial. You're right, Ginger; Julie Chen on BB3 was so much more fun. And think back to the great game shows of the '70s like The Match Game and Family Feud... I strongly believe that TV is more fun to watch when it isn't too slick or canned. It's no fun to watch a perfect show. We watch shows like Survivor because they're messy and unpredictable! So a mouthy Jeff is A+ by me!

Yep, yep, yep. I completely agree, Bastable. :)

I agree with both of you. :)

I agree too, but -- do you think we could get Jeff to slap Robb upside his head????? and much harder of course!!!

Hey, maybe Jeff WILL slap Robb upside his head, inspired by Julie Chen whupping Marcellas!
