Allietex | Wednesday, October 15, 2003 - 11:20 pm     I think both Jeff and Julie have grown and matured into their jobs. Julie seemed much more relaxed and natural this year. I thought her wardrobe was much better also. Her outfits did not seem to come off the rack at Walmart like the previous years. Not that there is anything wrong with Walmart, that is where many of my clothes come from, but I am not a national TV personality. Jeff seems much more antimated during the compettions than in years past. He is right in there encouraging them and seems to be working as hard as they are some times. I think he has become very comfortable in pressing the suvivors at tribal council. Sometimes by his questions he puts people in the position of having to lie or say something they don't want to say. I think he was put out with Jon for coming to tribal council loaded. Can't say I blame him. It was a little embarrassing to watch. It is a wonder that Jon did not say something way out of line to his mates and get himself in deep trouble. I think when Suvivor is over, Jeff could become a very good talk show host. |
Luvtrash | Thursday, October 16, 2003 - 12:14 am     I share the admiration of Abbynormal(are you sure about that?) and others for his dimples and vote for the disrobing! And besides all that, I like his style. Remember too, that the TC lasts about 45 minutes so we don't see everything that may prompt some of his remarks. I would love to see a behind the scenes show with him telling all about how things really work. I also like Paul the butler on Joe Millionaire. |
Enigma2 | Thursday, October 16, 2003 - 05:32 am     In an interview, Probst said that he took an immediate dislike to Jon, but then later somewhat altered his opinion. Since Probst was obviously very annoyed with drunken Jon at last week's tribal council, his altered attitude is yet-to-come. (I guess that this is a clue that Jon will be around for a while longer.) |
Kaili | Thursday, October 16, 2003 - 07:07 am     But Jeff has been around Jon at the challenges- that's more likely where "immediate" comes in. Yeah, I don't think he was a big fan of his at the tribal council, but it could be sooner and not later and maybe his change of heart has to do with "the lie". |
Kaili | Thursday, October 16, 2003 - 07:07 am     BTW- about Jeff- I love him too |
Webkitty | Thursday, October 16, 2003 - 07:33 am     Survivor would not be the same without Jeff How lucky for Jeff (and MB) (and us) that he got that gig. (and liked it enough to stay) I liked Anderson Cooper too, and even though I thought The Mole was one of the better reality shows, I don't know if I would watch without him (same with Jeff, it just wouldn't be the same without him) |
Djgirl | Thursday, October 16, 2003 - 09:20 am     I think that Jeff has the best job, and has improved each season. He's my absolute favourite of all the RTV hosts! I read an interview that Jeff did, where he stated that for the first few seasons, he was troubled by the fact that the contestants didn't like him - now he just doesn't care, and that's why he's harder on the contestants, especially at TC. He has always shown who he doesn't like, and you can read his thoughts across his face. I thought he was going to swallow his tongue last season when Heidi said that she was the mastermind behind everything! Jeff's definitely a doll, and I'm casting my vote for disrobing! Now, where's that picture from last season??? |
Lorry | Thursday, October 16, 2003 - 12:36 pm     I don't have a clue how to make links... so I'm hoping a kind moderator will assist me and these linkable. This is a little information regarding Jeff. Nothing surprising, but a little more than I knew about him. I'll also post any other tidbits I come across. http://ca.geocities.com/survivorshow2002/jeff.html http://us.imdb.com/name/nm0698251/ |
Lorry | Thursday, October 16, 2003 - 12:49 pm     Please Moderators, have patience with me! lol These are the last two I'll post. I just couldn't resist, even though they are old news. http://www.geneseo.edu/~ejm5/Jeff_Probst_Tribute.htm http://www.ugo.com/channels/filmtv/features/jeffprobst/ |
Enigma2 | Thursday, October 16, 2003 - 01:14 pm     Lorry: Thanks for the links. Ladies, Ladies, Ladies: If we guys (am noting ImmunityMan, up above) said the same sort of things about a woman that you have said about Probst, we would be accused of massive misogyny. I'm not complanining, but I couldn't resist mentioning that there seems to be a double standard here. (said with affection and a chuckle) |
Tappy | Thursday, October 16, 2003 - 02:50 pm     The man is hot !!!! What a doll....one of the rewards should be a dinner with Jeff !!! |
Rupertbear | Thursday, October 16, 2003 - 03:51 pm     Or...Jeff AS dinner... ;) |
Kittyface | Thursday, October 16, 2003 - 03:58 pm     OK--I read one of the links you posted, Lorry. I'm from Wichita, Kansas (where Jeff was born). Jeff just needs to come back and get me. Those dimples get to me everytime. I'm 42 and never married--maybe that's why I'm still single. I'm waiting for Jeff to come back!!! |
Kittyface | Thursday, October 16, 2003 - 04:05 pm     Oh--and he a Scorpio just like me. They are very ROMANTIC!!! I've always thought he looked like he was the romantic kind of guy. |
Auntiemike | Thursday, October 16, 2003 - 04:09 pm     Kitty: is your birthday the same day as his? If so, maybe you were born in the same hospital and shared the same newborn room! Hubba, hubba, wouldn't that be great! You may have gotten the first look at his dimples (before all us other poor posters at any rate). Keep up the fantasy....I'd say he's well worth some fanciful thoughts. Gotta love those dimples! Sorry, Enigma, we're just catching up with the guys. |
Texannie | Thursday, October 16, 2003 - 04:14 pm     He has the same birthday as my son! |
Kittyface | Thursday, October 16, 2003 - 04:34 pm     No, Auntie--Actually I'm a couple of years older than him. Think he likes older women?? LOL Oh well--I can dreammmm. |
Luvtrash | Thursday, October 16, 2003 - 07:37 pm     Jeff would make a lovely boy toy, wouldn't he? |
Lorry | Thursday, October 16, 2003 - 08:59 pm     Kittyface, sometimes it's good not to be married...lol I'm one of those people that really never felt marriage was a goal for me personally. For me it happened and yeah, been there, done that, got the T-shirt.. and oh yeah, the kids....roflmbo Btw, I'm a Scorpio also. Oct. 31, born on a Saturday, at the stroke of midnight, so the story goes... really I think they needed an excuse to tag me "Pumpkin" or "Kin" throughout my childhood... huh.. I think now I've secretly been dubbed "witch". roflmbo |
Lorry | Thursday, October 16, 2003 - 09:03 pm     Luvtrash... hahahahaha, when I read your "boy toy" post, all I could think of was "Daisy" trying to get "Anslow" (that's not how you spell his name) jealous by getting herself a "boy toy"... now I've got you in my mind, talking with a cockney accent... roflmbo Oh my yes, that Jeff is one fine young man...lol I loved that picture of the cover of TV Guide. |
Pannie | Thursday, October 16, 2003 - 09:16 pm     OK, I'm going to have to take back the positive things I said about Jeff the other day (at least temporarily). I'm mad that he publicly called Christa a 'freak'. There was no witty come-back or smiles between them. So, let's see, she's not a cookie-cutter blonde, has a warm and clever personality and is more interesting than Jenna will EVER be. So she's a freak, eh? Maybe Jeff is more shallow than I thought. grrrrr |
Pascalle | Thursday, October 16, 2003 - 10:38 pm     I'm not thrilled with Jeff I don't like the fact that he gets snarky with certain players. First Robb(Tiwan?)Now Jon. Jeff should not be making such obvious judgements on camera. A good host should be totally neutral. |
Pascalle | Thursday, October 16, 2003 - 11:05 pm     Sorry, ment to say Survivor Tailand |
Fruitbat | Friday, October 17, 2003 - 02:10 am     I am sure Jeff called Christa a freak in a joking way. I think the editor was at fault for not showing enough of that scene. Jeff knows these players very well. MrBat and my sons have called me a little freak on occasion. It is a phrase that is out there these days and used in loving banter. I adore Jeff and have from the very beginning. Very charismatic man and fabulous host. |
Spear | Friday, October 17, 2003 - 02:45 am     I also didn't think Jeff meant it to be derogatory -- I thought he said it because he was in awe of Christa's guzzling ability.  |
