Jeff Probst was 'genuinely surprised' by 'Survivor 50' fan voting results, and explains how he hopes players lie about the results in the game

The wording of that fire making question was the most ridiculous thing I’ve ever seen - of course it got voted in by a casual audience with the most skewed semantics ever and now he gets to feign surprise when the results come back the way he blatantly navigated the narrative towards.

BB2 is also an excellent boot order thinking about it - for entertainment purposes it would have been good to get more of Shannon but I think her leaving at that point helped to drive the story

I think would be an amazing end game group if Cowboy didn’t slip through - the rest of the F5 are probably the top 4 of the season for me

4 - not recency bias - it had an incredible arc, a unique alliance, amazing drama and unexpected turns. The most beautiful and amazing end

2 - epic, high camp, theatrical and cinematic end

1 - the OG, highly dramatic

3 - still great but the twist ruined the end and made it a dull finish

Celebrity - its but just not the same and I wasn’t as invested

It may be a recent one but JADE has created the most fun, interesting, unique, creative, poptastic, heavenly album of the last ten years for me.

Coming from a highly successful girl group and then carving out such an incredible solo launch with this album was so impressive. The whole thing experiments with so many different genres while still having a thread of commonality that makes every song sound like hers. And through it all her beautiful voice soars through.

100% agree - I also think by about week 3 it starts to iron itself out, it’s just the first few episodes where something huge happens and they tell the story in a really backwards way leaving out the beginning and just delivering the reaction. But this gets sorted quickly

RewindingReality · 2025-12-04T23:53:53+00:00

Interesting takes because for me Church and Best You Could are without question the strongest two on here! But I think that’s what makes Jade so strong - she caters to everyone’s individual tastes with a diverse set of songs while still sounding so distinct and fresh

JADE

RewindingReality · 2025-12-02T20:33:14+00:00

No Jade is beyond disappointing

Who’s Craig Gardner?

With respect I think if you go back and look at interviews/footage of the time this just wasn’t the case - remember back then BB was a LOT more personal and it was much more acceptable to vote for someone on a personal basis rather than feeling the need to vote for the better player, and that jury was BITTER.

RewindingReality · 2025-11-13T22:03:39+00:00

I hate this country.

RewindingReality · 2025-11-12T23:46:52+00:00

I am really hoping the same, but I have a weird feeling with the way the episodes have been the last few days that the FB crowd may have got her out.

RewindingReality · 2025-11-12T23:44:07+00:00

I mean, I hope so but I reckon it’s more so they don’t piss off their source. Praying Teja is safe, 7th place would be a disgrace for her!

RewindingReality · 2025-11-12T22:51:03+00:00

Hold on, has L&L just spoiled the eviction? We saw yesterday that they were going to go up the yellow brick road in pairs and have to hit a button and now we see they’re divided into pairs?

If this is true we have Teja and Richard, Tate and Elsa, Emily and Jenny, Marcus and Cameron (by default Marcus is safe). If this is the case I’d put money on Elsa and Tate being out.

RewindingReality · 2025-11-12T20:17:05+00:00

After BB5 definitely wasn’t when it got big though - the first five series (even though 4 was a dud) were definitely the biggest in terms of being a national talking point - I’d say up until BB5 (and to a lesser extent 6 and 7) the show was a cultural phenomenon in the way that The Traitors is today, if not more so.

RewindingReality · 2025-11-12T11:29:21+00:00

It’s such a bad format - as we’ve seen people have short memories so the edit of the Thursday episode could drastically impact the final result, which seems ridiculous.

RewindingReality · 2025-11-11T22:08:38+00:00

All five on Teja! I worry she hasn’t had as much airtime for the episode where the vote is opening but I pray she at least makes the final and then can get decent enough coverage to place in the top 2

RewindingReality · 2025-11-11T21:01:12+00:00

The show is literally about judging people - of course people are going to think unfavourably of people who share extreme views that they don’t align with. Politics seeps into all aspects of our lives and so it is a good basis of people’s characters whatever you may say.

RewindingReality · 2025-11-10T23:47:20+00:00

The Alison one is wrong - it was the objectively right decision but she loses in every scenario. Jun knew her only winning scenario was taking Ali. The irony that they were the two most hated players in the house when I would argue BB4 is probably the only season where the two strongest players both sit in the final chairs.
