Cablejockey | Friday, February 28, 2003 - 07:40 am     I was listening to Howard Stern this morning, and in his news segment Robin played some comments Jeff Probst made. He sounded disgusted by the fact that by Day 6, the women still hadn't built a proper shelter and had no roof over their heads. He said everyone was given a 72 hour course on how to do survival skills, including building a shelter. He thought it was sad that nobody is getting along with Christy. I found it interesting that he would say anything critical about the contestants. He wasn't on the show, this was tape they were playing. |
Jane_Bond | Friday, February 28, 2003 - 08:56 am     He has been criticizing the contestents for a few years now. He spoke out openly about hating many of the young folk from Thailand. After 6 episodes of increasingly stupid people, wouldn't you have a hard time keeping your yap shut? |

Moondance | Friday, February 28, 2003 - 02:43 pm     Another interview ... post from SS FilmMkr (2/28/03 9:15:56 am) Probst On Shawna -------------------------------------------------- My buddy (from last week's "Daniel's Mom" thread in Spec) just did his/her weekly radio interview with Probst. I gave 'em some questions to include in the interview, specifically about Shawna, and I think Jeff's response to that question in particular was interesting. Here's what JP had to say during his five minutes on air - On Daniel: He never got a shot - he associated himself with Ryan from the beginning and never got a chance to get going. On the difference between the women and men: The men went back to camp after the reward challenge talking about, "Did you hear what she said about me?", but the women were saying, "Oh, they're easier than we thought." On Shawna: Well, this is the first time we've had to deal with the question "What happens if someone wants to quit?" Usually I will try to encourage them and tell them that they will get a second wind, so just hang in there. But this is the first time we've encountered this, and we can't make them stay in the game. But with Shawna . . . just let me say that wanting to quit and being able to quit are two different things, and when you see the episode next week you'll see what I mean. On the challenges: The women are just listening better. I tell them all before we get started each season to be sure and listen carefully when I am explaining things, because I'm only going to tell them once. Last night was a perfect example - I told them specifically to be sure you chop the correct rope. The women did exacly that, but the men went for the wrong knot - there was a specific sequence to follow, and the guys didn't do that. They also tried to lift the board instead of sliding it out like the women did - just as I instructed. Now let me tell you that the guys who put these challeges together go out of their way to make it so that if you screw up early, it makes it worse the further you go. The guys are just not listening. On Matthew: Let me tell you, one of my favorite all-time moments happened last night when Matthew was speaking to Daniel in Mandarin. We knew he could do that, but you never know when something like that is going to happen. Now Matthew is one of those people who just doesn't get the game, either - he is an outcast who associated himself with Daniel and Ryan early, and now he is in a precarious situation. That's all for now - my buddy talked to Danny's Momma this morning, too, and I'll post a synopsis of what The Big Mouth said over in Spec later today. In the meantime, though, I've got a show to cut - some of us have to work for a living! |
Webkitty | Friday, February 28, 2003 - 03:04 pm     LOL Moon, I just posted about this in this weeks episode..... |
Moondance | Friday, February 28, 2003 - 03:07 pm     Great Minds! |
Curious1 | Friday, March 28, 2003 - 10:23 pm     Has anyone heard any more comments from Jeff Probst lately? I completely agree with the comment he made regarding Matthew "Now matthew is one of those people who just doesn't get the game either, he is an outcast...." |
Alaginger | Saturday, March 29, 2003 - 05:54 am     Yes, JP did make that statement....but so far, Matthew has made it to the jury!!! And it is going to be really funny if Matthew makes it to F4 and never, ever does understand the game. Those who do well --- play hard --- knock each other off, and then the guy standing there with the big ???? on his face walks away with some big $$$$. If that happens, can't you just see people talking next year about the way to play this game is to come in without a clue, stay out of the way and UTR, let the others eliminate themselves and then win some challenges and walk away with the money. (LOL) |
Car54 | Saturday, March 29, 2003 - 06:38 am     And that would be the fulfillment of the Nash theory...see what others are doing and do the opposite... |
