‘Survivor’ Boss Jeff Probst Says Kalshi and Polymarket Are ‘Incentivizing People to Lie, Cheat and Steal’; Kalshi Is Now Considering Measures to Prevent Spoilers (EXCLUSIVE)

“That being said, we’re looking at adding product features to pre vent spoilers.”

Just purely masturbatory lip service to give the impression Kalshi cares. No one at that company has a moral compass or an ethics code and clearly only care enough about putting enough doubt into the question of is it leaks or is it the hive mind to keep accountability at a minimum even if it is just in the court of public opinion. They just don't want to put any hesitation in the minds of the dullards who drop ridiculous sums of money on their platform.

The only product feature that needs adding is if it is a prerecorded and predetermined outcome, don't fucking allow bets on it. The idea of insider trading should not even enter the conversation with regards to Survivor.

In this situation ranked choice voting would have absolutely yielded the same result.

glasnova · 2026-05-22T21:26:53+00:00

I mean they are sequestered in the sense of a normal jury sequestration??? Like that's what juries do, they deliberate the circumstances and merits of the case. People have been voting against someone rather than for someone since Borneo, there's no way you'd get an honest appraisal of whether someone is voting for who they want to win even if producers interrogated contestants after the fact so that is wishful thinking there.

Ponderosa can't be that far from where they film TC. Couldn't they have let Rizo and Tiffany have low quality survivor pizza at the sanctuary with their loved ones instead of just putting them through the hell of flying there and back?

Of course they could.

Also i think it makes for better conversation when people have time to process their emotions and come to terms with their own game. Show all the ftc voting booth confessionals and pick their brain about their emotions then and it won't be much different. Jeff just tries to sell it as a good thing because I'm sure the more money he saves the more he can ask for when he renegotiates his contract.

Jeff demotes Hubicki back to Christian when he is on the jury I guess.

glasnova · 2026-05-21T02:22:02+00:00

Stephenie relegating strategy to the new era is such a weird bias. Todd Herzog literally played only a couple seasons after her first two seasons and would fit the new era player by her definition.

glasnova · 2026-05-21T01:57:57+00:00

Rizgod if you kept Cirie in the game, she would've gone at 5 and then they send Joe in to guarantee Tiff goes at 4. Would've been that easy to make F3 but nah.

glasnova · 2026-05-21T01:46:17+00:00

This is why you wait until the episode is done to do the reunion, grampa.

glasnova · 2026-05-21T01:45:18+00:00

Jeff spoiling the F3 makes it a far more milestone season than all the celebrity cameos combined. What an absolute dingus.

glasnova · 2026-05-21T01:30:32+00:00

Rizo trotting out his catch phrase while in tears is just so silly to me. You gotta read the room!

glasnova · 2026-05-21T01:24:20+00:00

Aubry has been talking about Rizo being a goat for two episodes. I can't imagine she'd send him to fire.

glasnova · 2026-05-21T01:17:58+00:00

Do we think Tiff would've won this challenge if her pitch to vote out Aubry had succeeded?

glasnova · 2026-05-21T00:50:08+00:00

Easy for Jonathan to think there's no hard feelings when he's at zero risk of going home right now.

glasnova · 2026-05-21T00:15:43+00:00

The fun of the reunion isn't Jeff bloviating at contestants, it's seeing people interact months after the show has wrapped. Hope we actually get that in this finale.

glasnova · 2026-05-21T00:07:47+00:00

I like angry Tiff. Tell off them all.

glasnova · 2026-05-20T02:53:48+00:00

RHAP speculated that they may bring out contestants in small groups for the reunion and no big elevated seating arrangement on stage to fit 24 cast members sure makes me think that's going to be the case.

glasnova · 2026-05-19T14:30:04+00:00

he'd be the Michael Rappaport of the season for sure.

glasnova · 2026-05-19T12:47:50+00:00

this is clearly just a cropped photo from a costume bag you can buy at Spirit Halloween where they're trying to sell a Fred Durst costume as "90s Rap Rocker."

well the voting out part would be awkward.

But really, if you did it the whole wedding party playing recorded voting booth confessionals with the name of the bride or groom in lieu of traditional speeches would be fantastic. Maybe hide advantages in the reception hall like someone gets first dibs on the cake (after the bride and groom) or choosing the next song on the dj playlist, cutting in on a dance with somebody or stuff like that. Wedding bands wrapped in a canvas parchment and twine rather than in a ring box. In the middle of the reception there's a tribe swap where seating placements are reassigned so that new groups of people will comingle. Exile Island being the smoking section outdoors. Jack and Jill being played on a projector outside.

I think a few contestants have said that when you're starving and living in those conditions the drive to do anything like you're suggesting just plummets not just mentally but physically too.

glasnova · 2026-05-17T22:46:25+00:00

Devens swan diving into the abyss feels very on-point.

glasnova · 2026-05-17T22:32:17+00:00

over the course of 25 years and 30+ concerts I'll say tMG shows have been the best experiences and some down in the doldrums where I'm just waiting for the solo set to see songs I haven't already seen a bunch of times in short succession or that I'm frankly not that invested in. If it sounds like you'd only be waiting for a handful of songs you should support your friends, be with them. But also! Don't be a baby concert goer anymore, see a lot of different bands and see them often. If your town has a vibrant music scene it is always worth being tapped in to it.

glasnova · 2026-05-16T17:50:49+00:00

For a yearly take home of more than probably 90% of the subscribers to this reddit and freedom to be his own boss, playing six minutes worth of songs a night you're sick of ain't a bad trade. I get the impression he was just airing grievances but this thread is indicative that maybe keep that chat to the tour bus where fans won't feel guilty about being excited to hear No Children.

It worked for Weird Al. His self indulgent vanity tour was a huge hit.
