I'll either write a story about this or go into some depth in Thursday's "Potpourri". Chalk me up as somebody who thinks that anybody with half a brain could do Jeff Probst's job well and that this is no big loss.

I read an article a while back where Phil Keoghan stated that it was a toss-up between Jeff Probst & himself as to who would host which program...TAR or Survivor.
Perhaps Phil is sick of TAR and will want to replace Jeff on Survivor. I think that'd be great.
I'm pretty sick of Jeff, anyway. He acts like such a tyrant...he's really not at all sympathetic with the contestants.
-
I read some article that cBS was training Andrew Savage from PI to take Jeff's place. I don't know how reliable the article is.
-
Beating up on Jiffy has been a cherished pasttime for, oh 10 installments of Survivor. I've done it, I'll admit. But I'll say right now that it wouldn't be the same without him. And I'll add that there is a fair chance it wouldn't be better.
In some ways, the show has hit a wall. Would a new host shorten or extend the life of the franchise? I think the expectations for any replacement would be super-high and unrealistic. And if they re-tread a former player, there's a strong likelihood they'll overestimate how well he (or she?) would do in the new role.
Phil from TAR? Okay. That wouldn't be bow-meets-iceberg. He's a known commodity, though his role in TAR is intro-ing challenges and telling contestants ... "Jack and Jill," [pause several seconds ...] YOU'RE TEAM NUMBER FOUR!"
-
Phil from TAR was 2nd in line for Jeffy's job when Survivor first started. However, I am thinking that Colby D. from S2 and ASS will get the job! I had not heard about Andrew Savage!!
Rob
-
I was going to throw Ethan Zohn's hat in the ring. I think you could replace Jeff with Ethan and not lose a beat.
Colby a lot of people find really annoying (myself being one of them).
-
what about Poopert :)*?

-
What about Trump? |(
-
Rupert is to emotional. Look at him rip that chocolate bunny! Trump? He isn't even that good at his show.
Jeff probably wants more money.
-
Yeah, I think Rupert would be too much of a cheerleader to be the host. If I were to guess as to which ex-Survivors would be considered I would think Ethan, Colby (unfortunately), and Boston Rob would all get long looks.
-
My vote is for Boston ROB {|

Or, our favorite cattle farmer, Tom Buchanan {l{ {l{

PASSING THE TORCH?
October 8, 2005 -- 'SURVIVOR" host Jeff Probst, who's hosted all 11 editions of the CBS reality show, wants to leave the show, according to a published report.
Inside TV magazine says that Probst, 42, wants a more relaxed lifestyle and wants to settle down with his girlfriend, Julie Berry, who competed on "Survivor: Vanuatu."
The magazine also says that Probst has told "pals" that he wants to get out of his contract after this season of "Survivor," which takes place in Guatemala and is currently airing Thursday nights.
"CBS really likes Jeff and they don't want to fix what isn't broken," a CBS insider tells the magazine. "But if they can't have jeff, they love the idea of having a former 'Survivor' host the show."
Toward that end, the network has reportedly auditioned "Survivor: Pearl Islands" contestant Andrew Savage for the job.
"Based on the accuracy of this item, the magazine that published it should rename itself 'Outside TV,' " a CBS spokeswoman said yesterday. ]][
"Survivor," which kicked off in 2000, is one of TV's top-rated reality shows and usually averages around 20 million viewers.

'Survivor' Host Gushes About New Love
Tue Oct 11, 8:00 AM ET
NEW YORK - "Survivor" host Jeff Probst can't stop gushing about "Vanuatu" contestant Julie Berry.
"I finally met someone who could teach me about love," Probst says of Berry in the Oct. 17 issue of People magazine.
Berry, one of 18 contestants on CBS' "Survivor: Vanuatu — Islands of Fire," was among the five still in the running before she was voted off by her rivals. The winner of the ninth edition of the reality show was revealed in December 2004.
The couple didn't start dating until after the show was over, Probst has said. His five-year marriage to Shelley Wright ended in divorce in 2001.
Berry, 24, has moved from Gorham, Maine, to Los Angeles, where she is earning her master's degree in marriage and family therapy at California State University, Northridge.
"Being committed to each other — that's the point," Berry tells the magazine.
Meanwhile, Probst, 43, is mulling renewal of his "Survivor" contract, which is up after he tapes the show's 12th edition this fall.
"There's the inevitable point where you go, `Do I want to do other things?'" he says. "But ... I'll never have as good a job as `Survivor.'"
"Survivor: Guatemala" is now airing Thursday nights (8 p.m. EDT).

boston rob,palease,a host he definatly is not.watching colby every week would suck so bad.hardly anybody remembers savage.use this to make the show better,bring in someone who has a big fanbase,you might get some new viewers,isnt that the point of a successful show.id like to see bob barkers out there,in his 3 piece suit and his long thin microphone,sweating his ass off.i can see it now and im laughing,or bring in the most popular survivor of all time...rubertsbutcrack,lol.johnny fairplay would make a great controversial host.

the survivor message boards arent as fun as the bb6 message boards,nobody hardly posts on these

Just wait until the merge. The show doesn't pick up steam until then.

Jeff said on Regis today that his CONTRACT is due to be renewed after 12 & that's it. He seemed to indicate that he wouldn't be leaving.
-
I hope he doesnt leave. It just wouldnt be the same. It would be like when they get a standin for the soap operas. I can just hear it now. The role of Jeff Probst will be played by. Insert name here.
-
Hopefully his replacement will settle down a bit during challenges. Jeff during challenges is the equivalent to Ty on the Extreme Home Makeover.

OMG... get this one ..the Horror's of it all !! Jenna or StephaME *GAG* :hang:
My Television Is Trying To Kill Me
…… Duh! Now, here’s the news that’s currently floating around the net – Jeff Probst is apparently calling it a day at the end of this season, and may well be replaced by a former female cast member. Hot tips to take on host duties at this point are “Survivor: The Amazon” winner, Jenna Morasca, and current castaway (and “Palau” member) Stephenie LaGrossa. Don’t count out the fellas as yet though, one of the most popular non-winners yet, "Boston" Rob Mariano, has also been floated as a contender.
http://www.moviehole.net/news/the_weeksly_late_edition_14100.html
-
Those two I'm sure will be on the short list. However I still think you have to consider Colby or Ethan the favorites.
-
If Jeff does leave, maybe cBS should put on someone new every season. I would mind looking at Steph or Jenna for another season. I'll be sure to have some peanut butter and chocolate. :nods:
-
I loved Steph last season....can't stand her perpetual whining this yr...
jenna or steph as jeff? not something I would want to see!
andrew...loved andrew....wouldn't mind feasting my eyes on him weekly again....
-
Slightly off-topic ... But have you ever wondered what CBS's contingency plan is in the event that Jeff pulls up with appendicitis or a particularly bad case of galloping gutwrenchitis or avian flu during the 39-day running of Survivor? Who was in the wings, ready to do that arm-scissor challenge start signal, or belittle people in challenges, or offer up meaningless food for thought as a tribe leaves tribal council?
I'm thinking they have to have a plan. It's not like they can suspend taping. The show must go on.
-
Those two I'm sure will be on the short list. However I still think you have to consider Colby or Ethan the favorites.
Yeah! Either of them would be great hosts. But I wonder what are the chances they would want to?
-
I have to think both of them would jump at the opportunity. Colby was recently on Las Vegas so I would assume he would consider Survivor the break of his career. Ethan, I believe still hosts the Survivor aftershow on CBS.com.

Good point. What happens if Jeffy gets the runs and cannot get away from the bathroom for a few days? LOL

Maybe Jeff wants to play survivor?

can't imagine jeff doing survivor. *(^ itd just be weird. i vote for IAN!! also wouldnt mind having Ethan or Rupert.
-
Okay my turn to comment on this topic. I would be sad if Jeff Probst does not continue hosting Survivor after season 12. He is one of the reasons I enjoy watching the show. I like it when he gets excited during the challenges and gives a minute by minute play of what is happening. I just find his comments entertaining and Tribal Council wouldn't be the same if someone else gets to say "....the Tribe Has Spoken". That is Jeff, when I hear those words, I think of Jeff. Just like "is that your final answer" is Regis Philbin. B:) B:)
-
From what we know so far, Jeffy MAY quit. It's not for sure yet. I think most of us would love it if he stays until the last season, & I sincerely hope & pray he does! |#' Gosh, he's been THE Host of Hosts, so if he leaves, it'll be too sad. :':') :':') It's gonna be very difficult finding someone just as good or better. I can't think of anyone...Colby or Ethan or Rupert or Jonny Fairplay B:) B:) B:) who could serve as the Host as well as our Jeffy! (%#

'Survivor' Producer Mark Burnett Expects Jeff Probst to Leave Show After Season 12 (10.27.05)
Inside TV (a TV Guide publication) is quoting Survivor producer Mark Burnett as saying he expects next spring's twelfth Survivor edition to be Jeff Probst's last season hosting the popular reality TV show.
Inside TV report reported earlier this month that Probst planned to leave the Survivor, now in it's eleventh season, after his current contract ends. According to TV Guide, Mark Burnett was quoted as saying, "I believe in my gut that he will move on [after the next edition]." He also half-nodded when asked whether Jeff's shoes would likely be filled by a former female Survivor contestant.
From TV Guide
Question: I heard that Jeff Probst may be leaving Survivor. Is there any truth to that? — Beth
Ausiello: I cornered Mark Burnett earlier this month at TV Guide's full-size mag bash here in New York City and he basically told me that the rumors are true, adding, "I believe in my gut that he will move on [after the next edition]." He also half-nodded when I asked him whether Jeff's shoes would likely be filled by a former female Survivor contestant, so that rumor's apparently true as well. I, for one, hope they go with Deb Eaton. She was a real kick in the pants.
-
Or maybe Maralyn.....she was a hoot!!
-
So, if I am counting right, isn't this the 11th season? Wonder if Jeff will anounce his leaving at the final TC?
-
Yeah....and he'll name his successor................StephaME!!! )<
-
Poopert...I want Poopert |#'
-
Liar!
You want Rupert as much as I want Romber!!!
Rob
-
i hope the host is Wanda Shirk,what a kangaroo court that would be.if you dont remember wanda heres a reminder http://www.cbs.com/primetime/survivor10/survivors/bio/wanda.shtml
-
Singing Wanda, please help us!
Rob
-
IF it is a woman....who woudl really be a good person?
Tina ~she will nto do it
Jerri ~ she always wants attention
Sue hawks ~ nah
Jenna M ~ i think she would be too soft spoken
Kathy ~ do nto think she would be gone that much from Her family
Amber ~ too soft spoken
Stephanie ~ well she got a 2nd chance here so who knows
Who else woulf do it or make a good host if it really is a female?
-
I would love to see Kathy do it, but I think Colby will get first shot at it.
-
I dunno about Colby. He may not want to be exposed to any more of those weird jungle/island diseases/bacteria/bugs.
-
I don't ever see Jeff dealing with those things.

Producer: Jeff Probst to Leave Survivor

Survivor producer Mark Burnett expects next spring's 12th edition of Survivor will be the last for its host, Jeff Probst – and a former female contestant from that granddaddy of reality shows may replace him.
"I believe in my gut that he will move on," producer Mark Burnett told TV Guide about Probst, according to RealityTVWorld.com, adding that Burnett "half-nodded" when asked if Probst would be replaced by a former female player from the show.
Burnett's statement preceded Probst's announcement on Live with Regis and Kelly that the rumors were untrue that he was leaving Survivor because he was in love with Survivor: Vanuatu's Julie Berry and his contract was expiring after "Survivor 12."
Jeff Probst and Julie Berry
CREDIT: JOE PUGLIESEEarlier this month, Probst, 43, told PEOPLE about Berry, 24: "I finally met someone who could teach me about love. Julie's given me a sense of balance I've never had. It's like fingers interlacing."
Berry, whom Probst waited to ask out until the game was over (she came in fifth place during season nine), is equally smitten. "Everything is a brighter shade," says the former youth mentor from Maine. "We complement each other beautifully."
As for his Survivor job, Probst told PEOPLE that he was unsure about whether he'll renew.
"There's the inevitable point where you go, 'Do I want to do other things?'" he said. "But like I told someone the other day, I don't want to be the David Caruso of reality TV. I'll never have as good a job as Survivor."

OK so now that the rumor is a former female contestant is gonna be hosting the show I decided to do a look back and see who would make a worth while candidate for this even though I think we all know who it is :t-up:. So the basic criteria I have set up here is easy you just need to be a female Jeffy (it shouldnt be hard to equal his Tom Cruise like height however the 1.5 inch identical dimples might be a bit much to ask for); basically she is somewhat intelligent, easy on the eyes, and the Sue Hawk rule she can spell (sorry Sue). So lets run down the seasons. Stars indicate the people you would choose if you had to for that season and why.
Borneo - Probables are Stacey,Gretchen, and Jenna - I dont think any of these would want to come back to try to host or that we would necessarily want these people back in Jenna's case. Actually I would say Jenna L. gets treated the same be SEG as she does by most men in that they wouldnt touch that with a 100 hundred foot pole.
Favorties are Coleen and Kelly*(shes the original immunity god - Tom and Ian had **** on her) I dont think either would do it as neither really liked how the game played out in then end.
Outback- Probables are Jerri, Tina, and Alicia - Tina was a winner but that about all shes got going for her shes a little old to come on as the host I think. Alicia might bring the finger wave back we might even see it come out at TC!!!!! but basicall she is too much drama for the show. Jerri would probably be a decent choice as she has had aspirations in the past of doing her own reality show but last time she was on TV for SEG we learned that america hates her.
Favorites are Amber* and Elisabeth* while I dont think either will be doing it becuase they have moved on Elisabeth to a real tv job and Amber to life with Rob and a Million plus. That being said Amber would be a good choice beacuse she is the "ulitmate survivor" and Elisabeth because she has real tv and interviewing experience.
Africa- Probables are .. . . . well just for arguments sake we will say Linda but I would get tired of hearing "mother (insert what ever part of the world they are filming in)" ever again. Then Kim J, and T Bird who both fall to the same problem as Tina age.
Favorties are .. . . none this season sucked if you were a male viewer in hindsight.
Marquesas - Probables Neleh, V, and Gina Gina is probably the best choice out of these 3 shes good looking and pretty intelligent. Neleh and V just make the cut because they were final 2 a pretty crappy one at that, the love fest that was the end of this season didnt not intrique me at all. And does anyone even know that V won?????
the Favortie is Kathy* she is probably one of the coolest women to play the game, she truly enjoys her time out there and has a great grasp of life and of people; other then Amber or Tina she probably lives the game the most.
Thailand - This was one of my favorite seasons by far, then I looked at the cast I dont seem to remember any of these people except Shiiann, Brian, and Clay who is my name sake??????? So while it was one of my favorties it really was the Brian show Cant wait till they air it on OLN becuase outside of the outcome I cant remember what happened.
The favortie here is obviously Shii-ann* she has a good game sense, and ask good questions of people (ie final TC of Allstars she was probably the only one not throwing a pity party or a thanks for taking us along party) I think I know why no one from this season made all stars.
Amazon - Good females to choose from here probables are Christy and Hedi. Can you imagine how intense TC will be with Christy signing and all the tribemembers sitting as they have no clue what is going on (crikets chirping) and then the vote. With Heidi you have one of thoes girls you see and immediately you think wow she is amazingly hott but does she have anything going on up stairs. Then later you find out she doesnt have anything going on upstairs but reguardless she is smokin hott.
The favorite here and for the whole thing Jenna* she has the looks, she has the smarts, she has the humor, and most importantly she won and won in a season that was not a cake walk (Brain/Tom). On top of that she is in the middle of her second year hosting survivor live looks like SEG likes her and also that Hatch might have had a good chance at hosting one day pre tax evasion problems (see Jenna L comment above).
Pearl Islands - Once again not a whole lot to build on here the probables are Nicole who could do anything as long as she does it with out panites on!!!!!!!!!!! You also have Lil the broke ass girl scout, she lacks all intelligence but on the bright side EPMB is into bringing things back (ie steph and BJ) and shes already been brought back once. She is far and away the most underesving person in survivor history. Then there Sandra who much like V won wow what a shock. Lets face it she was annoying and unatractive.
The favortie Darrah* wow what a hottie and shes got the dimples covered pretty well. That being said I dont think she has a shot becuase experience as a mortician doesnt reallyhelp you out with TV.
Vanuatu - Finally a season actually ruled by the chicks!!!! until Chris WON. Lots of probables here Ami she was good looking but I for one dont think she can keep her problems with men underwraps for something like hosting. Leann was a little older and well didnt really leave a mark to remember her by. Scout and Twila were both eaisly the ugliest contestants after the 39 days. Twila would let somecontestant get to her and go off yelling about how she is not the only one who has ever lied. As for Scout if her post over at Survivors Strike Back are any hint then TC might have to be extended to every 5th day to account for her rants about the wind and aoura around. Julie wow wouldnt that be great, Probst leaves the show for her and she leaves him for the show (talk about getting played).
The favorties Eliza* outside of Jenna she is who I think should get the job, shes attractive, smart and defiantely knows the game inside and out. She even knew that winning the car didnt help her chances to win.
Palau - Once again not a whole lot to choose from the Probables Angie and Katie, on the one hand you have someone who probably cant have the most entertaining conversation and is not very easy on the eyes. Then you have Katie the coattail rider I just wonder how they would keep Ian away as he obviously saw somthing in Katie I dont think many ever will.
The favortie Steph* I hate even considering her a fav she is like that rich kid growing up in school who got a Range Rover at 16. Knowing that things always seem to happen when I dont want it too this might beyour host but she would SUCK AT IT!!!!!
I would put Guatemala but as we know Queen Steph is out there again although if Danni had been around about 3 seasons earlier then she would probably be a top candidate with her experience in the radio field.
All that said and believe me it took me a while to comprise this Jenna has to get this if it is indeed a female shes a winner, shes hot, she kinda already works for the company. Anyway why is Rafe so stunned and everyone else is disillusioned???????(http://resources.survivorphoenix.com/graphics/albums/S11E08ShowPromo/S11E08promo042.thumb.jpg)(http://resources.survivorphoenix.com/graphics/albums/S11E08ShowPromo/S11E08promo039.thumb.jpg) hmmmm maybe Jenna is there??????
-
When Danni is made the host.............just I know.............that I put the pen to paper first.........
http://www.realityfanforum.com/content/view/77/2/

Oh now that idea I like Trevor |#' !! Right now shes my Fav female contestant , next to Cindy that is !! I hope your prediction is right on !

Danni would be a great host! :t-up:

Probst Sticks with Survivor
By Jim Benson -- Broadcasting & Cable, 12/8/2005 4:10:00 PM
Ending widespread speculation that Survivor’s Jeff Probst would walk away from the show he has hosted since its inception in 2000, CBS Thursday confirmed to B&C that he has renewed his contract.
“We have a new agreement with Jeff Probst to continue as host of Survivor,” a CBS spokesman said.
Sources said it is a two-year deal that will take him through the hit show’s 16th edition in 2008.
Executive Producer Mark Burnett produces two cycles of the series each season for CBS.
The 42-year-old Probst’s current contract was reportedly set to expire in the first-half of 2006, when the upcoming 12th edition of Survivor ends.
Probst has been vocal about his desire to eventually settle down and start a family, which led to questions about whether he would want to make another long-term commitment to the program or simply leave.
But despite a flurry of speculative press reports questioning whether Probst would go, and who might replace him, he had never declared his intentions.
The Associated Press had quoted Probst as saying, “There’s the inevitable point where you go, ‘Do I want to do other things?’ But … I’ll never have as good a job as Survivor.”

Bathfizzy...me too, enjoy his play by play comments when the survivors are in a reward or immunity challenge. Overall, No one else can do the job as well as Jeff! (^.# }^!

TRUE SURVIVOR
Survivor host Jeff Probst, who recently signed to stick with the series for at least four more editions, said he was "very comfortable not coming back" until the latest band of castaways changed his mind. "I had a blast," he said of Survivor: Panama (which begins Feb. 2), an exile island edition shot in the same region as Survivor: All Stars.
Still, Probst has shot 12 Survivors in six years. He has enough Air Miles. "I'm in love and I don't like being away," he said.
Girlfriend Julie Berry, a Survivor: Vanuatu castaway, helped him make up his mind. "She said, 'Look. It's six weeks. Do you want to do it?' " Having fun helped, but Probst also admitted that "from a career point of view and a financial point of view, this was the time to re-sign."
