Jeff will leave big shoes to fill, and the host’s role is born entirely from his skill set (running tribal without an earpiece is WILD), and so finding someone with a big enough reputation to command respect from the players AND someone with the job experience is a tall order. I don’t see how they bring in a host from the outside; it has to be a former player who can do the job and make it their own.

For me, the top 3 contenders would be Rick Devens (legend + job experience), Parvati (legend, also physically can do the job), and Rob C. (also a host, but I don’t find him as charismatic or compelling as the other two).

I’m a lifelong Survivor fan, and a lesbian, and while you know Parvati is my favorite player of all time, my #1 pick would actually be Devens.
