"Probst quotes" |
LAST EDITED ON 01-16-03 AT 03:53 PM (EST)If no one objects, I thought I'd start this thread to archive quotes made about the contestants or the game by JP, either in newspaper articles, radio interviews, etc. It seemed that during S5 we had trouble sourcing a lot of these quotes as the game went on, so I felt it would be helpful to have them stored in one place. I'm not envisioning this as a discussion thread; it would get too long and unwieldy. It's intended as a repository to refer back to when questions arise ("Didn't JP say that 'Elisabeth kicks butt'?")  If you want to pick apart a particular quote, yank it from here and repost in the pertinent discussion. But everyone should PLEASE feel free to add the latest JP pearls of wisdom to this thread, since I know I won't pick up on everything. If the moderators would prefer that this be handled differently, please advise, and I will repost where appropriate and this thread can be locked. -- Brownroach

By FROM STAFF AND WIRE REPORTS Shawna Mitchell, a 23-year-old retail clothing saleswoman, grew up in Redwood City... ``She's a natural girl,'' said show host Jeff Probst in an interview Monday at the Television Critics Association meeting in Hollywood. ``You could go on a road trip with her or you could go to the People's Choice awards. There's nothing put-on about her.'' TV critics saw the first 20 minutes of the new ``Survivor'' series. After the teams were divided by gender, the members got into boats. Mitchell had trouble untying the line that secured her boat. ``My mind was so jumpy I couldn't even untie a knot,'' she says on the show. ***edited to compress.

6. "JP on Daniel" |
http://www.chron.com/cs/CDA/story.hts/headline/entertainment/1734533Jan. 14, 2003, 8:53AM Houstonian is pumped up about being a 'Survivor'
By MIKE McDANIEL
Copyright 2003 Houston Chronicle
"The way Daniel portrayed himself to us was as the great Asian hope," Jeff Probst, Survivor host, told the Chronicle. "He said, `You guys have not portrayed Asians correctly yet, and I'm going to do it.' I think what describes him best is that he's a self-proclaimed 98-pound weakling who transformed his body into sort of a bodybuilder, and he's really proud of that. He thinks that will give him a big advantage, having the will power to accomplish something like that."
Neither Probst nor Mark Burnett, Survivor's executive producer, could say how far Lue advances on the show. The Television Critics Association was shown a clip from the first show, to premiere with a 90-minute episode on Feb. 13, and Lue figures prominently in the first immunity challenge. He has persistent trouble walking across a log while tied to a teammate and could be responsible for his team losing that challenge. The conclusion of the challenge was not shown.

15. "not trying to step on any toes..." |
I'm just saying that JP's 3-word quote isn't going to make a difference in terms of spoiling.I know your post is set up as a holding tank, but since this is the spoilers forum, it is worthwhile to determine if there is any spoiler value to JP's quotes. In this case, I don't see spoiler value. I do appreciate your setting up of this thread to discuss JP's quotes, as do the rest of us who come here to spoil the show. I only replied this post because I figured it was easy to prove it's non-spoiler value. The post is relevant as a JP quote, but I respectfully submit that there is no relevant spoiler material in the quote. And that's all I got to say about that...

10. "JP & MB on Jenna -- "Bikini strategy"" |
http://www.post-gazette.com/tv/20030114survivor0114fnp4.asp
Pitt student competes in 'Survivor'
Tuesday, January 14, 2003 By Rob Owen, Post-Gazette TV Editor
Host Jeff Probst said two members of the women's team traveled to the Amazon expecting to use their bodies to their advantage but quickly discovered that "this is not the place you want to put on your bikini to show off your big boobs." Morasca quickly changed her strategy.
"She immediately said, 'I'm not going to wear a bikini around women. Women will judge me; they won't like it. But if I ever get around guys, I know how to use my body,' " Probst said. CBS's Web site says Morasca has won the Venus Swimwear competition in 2001 and 2002 and was second runner-up in the Miss Pennsylvania USA beauty pageant in 2001. "Her pageant background made it very fascinating," said Burnett. "She thinks that the way the pageant girls deal with each other behind the scenes is far more ruthless than you ever get on 'Survivor.' " Probst said Morasca was at home with the competitive spirit of "Survivor." "She made a lot of analogies throughout the interview process that this is no different than what I do for a living, going to pageants and trying to figure out how to get a leg up," Probst said. "She's really smart, especially when it comes to men."

11. "It's a Jungle Out There..." |
http://www.ohio.com/mld/beaconjournal/living/4950501.htm
It's a jungle out there -- Amazon, in fact -- and it's boy tribe vs. girl tribe
By R.D. Heldenfels
...Just in case anyone thinks the show will be a mismatch, Burnett showed reporters a clip from one early -- and very complicated -- challenge in which the men charged out to an early lead but the women gradually caught up.
The structure did make a difference in how people played. ``There are two girls for sure on the women's tribe in The Amazon who were anticipating walking around in very small bikinis and utilizing that,'' Probst said. Finding out that their tribe was all women ``was absolutely a re-strategy time for them.'' Probst also thought that with the sexes separated, ``the sexual tension kept building and building and building. And when they did get together, or when they would see each other at challenges... it was like a mixer.'' Another notable change in Survivor: The Amazon is the inclusion of a deaf contestant, Christy Smith, 24, of Basalt, Colo. (According to CBS, ``she can hear minimal sounds but relies on lip-reading skills.'') ``Think of the things that go on in this game, and what a disadvantage that is,'' Probst said. ``And we didn't tell anybody that she was deaf. That was up to her.'' ``The big thing with Christy is, don't show any favoritism,'' Probst said later. ``We didn't,'' although he did note that during tribal councils, when it was hard for Smith to read lips, he would either paraphrase or repeat things for her. Probst also caught differences in his performance. ``It screwed me up out there,'' he said. ``I found myself forgetting to look at other people'' and he would try to move his mouth clearly for Smith. ``Afterwards, I'd go, `I think I talked like a 6-year-old through that whole challenge.' '' While strategies for Smith might be different than for other players, there are always differing approaches within the group. In The Amazon, Rob Cesterino, 24, a computer projects coordinator, ``definitely knows the game better than anyone who's ever played it,'' Probst said. ``He's telling me rules.... ``But to contrast him, we had Matthew (Von Ertfelda, 33), who has been to all kinds of jungles all over the world... and yet he didn't know anything about how to play Survivor.''

"She thought about it and said: 'No, but life's not fair.' "And that sort of summed up her approach to the show," Probst says. "Without question, she'll be at a disadvantage." As an example, Probst notes that at night when contestants are seated around a campfire, Smith would be unable to read lips. "She may be out of luck in situations like that," Probst adds. ***EDITED TO ADD:

Entertainment News Louisiana's idolmaker Saturday January 18, 2003
Dave Walker Probst did admit that the Glover-Rogers-Jordan contretemps prompted him to warn the "Survivor: Amazon" contestants about casual conversation. "Everybody loves gossip," he said. "It's impossible for them to not share stuff, so my comment was, 'You better watch how you behave with these people, because ultimately that's what you're being judged on.' "

18. "Someone give up?" |
LAST EDITED ON 01-23-03 AT 12:10 PM (EST)Ok, so yesterday I finally got around to having an opportunity to read the full Survivor story in last week's TV Guide edition, and one thing stuck out at me that I don't remember seeing mentioned (then again maybe I just missed it) that I found potentially very interesting: After a section where Jiffy is talking about how much he hopes for bad weather because he apparently thinks it makes a better show (huh?) the following appears: Menacing skies fit nicely into the Heart of Darkness atmosphere that Burnett says he hopes to evoke, and according to Probst, the fear factor is too much for at least one player a game, someone who essentially throws in their buff. "Too often," he says, "it's the really cute girl - Tanya , Jessie - that nobody wants to see go home." Thoughts? -SB

19. "Roger = sexist?" |
http://www.eonline.com/Gossip/Kristin/Archive2003/030131c.htmlLions and Tigers and Chauvinist Pigs, Oh My! Sounds like sexism is guaranteed to rear its ugly head on the next Survivor. According to Jeff Probst, some castmembers will be downright ripe with it. Enter Roger, a Vietnam vet who Probst finds "so intolerant." Roger seems to think the girls just can't hang when it comes to the challenges. But from the looks of the first episode, he speaketh a bit too soon. In the first challenge, it takes the men about 20 tries to cross the balance beam, while the women sail across in one try. Nah-nee-nah-nee-nah-nah!

20. "CBS.com chat 3/11" |
LAST EDITED ON 02-12-03 AT 05:45 PM (EST)Ack! -- the date in the subject should be 2/11. Here is an edited transcript. I removed the parts that don't deal directly with S6, and highlighted parts I think are interesting. Complete unedited chat is posted on SurvivorNews. -- Br Q: Hey Jeff! How's it going?
A: It's going great! I'm in New York City with a Diet Coke and a bag of Red Vines. I'm ready to go!! Q: Hi Jeff, I love your work. Mr. Burnett said that Survivor Amazon was his favorite of all time, do you agree with him?
A: It's hard for me to have a favorite because each one is such a complete experience. But I will say that I like this group of Survivors and I've noticed a pattern that the even numbered Survivors seem to have more likeable people than the odd numbered. For instance, Australia, fun cast, Marquesas, fun cast and in this one, same thing. A lot of really fun and funny people. Q: Jeff, who was the most entertaining Amazon cast member, in your opinion?
A: I'll answer it this way: with no indication of whether they last one episode or all thirteen the people that in the first three days really jumped out at me: Rob from Long Island - one of the funniest people we've ever had (and he was a Survivor geek -- he knew every rule). And at the first challenge he made sure that I knew every rule. Roger is perhaps the biggest know-it-all we've ever had. On the ladies' side, we have a deaf contestant, Christy. She had a real struggle in figuring out how to survive in a social game when she can't hear.
A: We also have a swimsuit model who told us in her interviews that swimsuit competitions were similar to Survivor with lots of mind games and psych outs. So she should be interesting to watch as well. Q: Jeff, what can you tell us about Survivor Amazon that would make us believe that this Survivor is going to be better than others?
A: The biggest difference is we're pitting the men against the women. I had no idea how much fun it would be to watch men and women approach the same problem with such different results. There are certain expectations: the men will be stronger, the women will get along better...but it didn't always play out that way and for me one of the most enjoyable aspects was that the sexual tension was really increased at challenges so when they did see them there was a lot of flirting going on. And for whatever reason, we have more nudity in this season than in any other. Q: Jeff, I was surprised that you told us that it's was going to be women against men. Why did you not keep that a surprise?
A: For Survivor Thailand we teased that we might do men v. women and we didn't so we decided for this one we should tell people right away and I think it got people's expectations going and as a result was probably a good move on our part because there's something fundamentally interesting about watching men take on women. Q: Jeff,...what are the different types of challenges you guys have planned for the survivors?
A: In the last couple of season we've tried to get away from challenges that are purely physical and get into challenges that are a bit physical, a bit mental, a bit team work and we continued that in the Amazon because we challenges that will create reality. So, you look for opportunities for someone to be a hero or for someone to be a goat. I can tell you that we found a way to incorporate some of the challenges of the Amazon (for instance, piranha) in the challenges. Q: What was the weirdest experience you have had while filming Survivor?
A: (edited) And in the Amazon, though nothing happened, we had the worst thunder and lightning storm I've ever experienced. I don't know, wow, that's a lot of rain, I'm talking about thunderclaps that had people out of their rooms wondering if our hotel was still standing. Q: Jeff, were any of the survivors ever close to quitting; just throwing their hands in the air and walking off?
A: Every season at least one and I can always sense who they are and it usually comes the first seven days. It's simply too much for them -- more than they anticipated, more than they think they can handle. And the key is somehow convincing them without showing any favoritism that they're just homesick and that they can get through this and if they can get over this hurdle they'll be fine. And in almost every instance, that has been true. If the person can just get over that initial discomfort, they'll be okay. Q: Jeff, what special considerations did you have to make for Christy? Did her disability make it harder for her to survive the elements, not just the game?
A: Yes, her disability absolutely made it harder in every sense. From dealing with her tribe mates to being unaware if a snake was sneaking up on her. There's no getting around the fact that being deaf was a gigantic disadvantage. But it is Survivor and she knew what she was signing up for and there were no special considerations given. Absolutely none. Q: How come Christy didn't want the guys to know she's hearing impaired?
A: I never said she didn't but if I were Christy why would I want the guys to know anything they didn't absolutely have to know. You have to remember that in this game, at least, information is everything. The more information you have the better you can make your decisions. So, if it had been me, no way would I have let the guys know that I was deaf. Q: Were there any serious injuries to any of the contestants this time around that you can tell us about? The Amazon is a very dangerous place, how did you keep the contestants relatively safe?
A: I can't tell if there were any severe injuries but I can tell you that if you ever doubt the legitimacy try paying attention to how many times you'll see a Survivor with a bandage or a wrap around the ankle or things of that nature. They are constantly getting beaten up in little ways but in the scope of the game, it's nothing. So, we bring out a doctor to look at them all they'll usually do is offer an Ace bandage and tell them to suck it up. In fact in one of the first few episodes of Amazon you'll see one of the contestants with a hand bandaged so it happens pretty frequently. Q: Hi Jeff. I heard you were really ill on location. Is this true? What was the matter with you?
A: In the beginning I was a little sick -- nothing too much but you are living in conditions where the water is not the cleanest and the food you eat is not stuff you're used to and every so often you have a few days of having trouble keeping things down but it didn't alter my mood. I was able to snuff torches right away. Q: Are the male and female tribes going to last the whole season or are they going to be switched up right away in the first episode? Geri loves you!
A: Well, say hey to Geri for me. Obviously I can't tell you how long they stay as men and women and if they ever merge. But I can tell you this: we didn't go to all the trouble of splitting them into men and women to split them up (sic -- Br) in the first episode. And after being out there a couple of days, I'm not sure the women cared if they ever merged. Q: Were there a lot of personal conflicts this time. Like the ones last time with Ted and Ghandia, Shii Ann, etc?
A: I think it's inevitable that there are always going to be alliances and certain people or groups of people who don't get along well. But overall, I would say the Amazon was much friendlier as a group than the Thailand group. Q: In some of the episodes, the survivors had to hunt, fish, or find food. Other shows, like the one on Africa Survivor, they were in a protected reserve and did not have to hunt for food. What happens in this season?
A: There are certain protected animals in the Amazon. You certainly can't count the Anaconda, the Cayman Crocodile...but you can fish for piranha or the many other fish in the Rio Negro. And fish will be their biggest source of food this season. The only problem is they have to fish where the piranha are and that can be dangerous. Q: Jeff, you are looking hotter than ever--I have seen you on a few shows lately. On one interview you said the girls you said the girls of this tribe have more going for them. Can you elaborate on their strengths that you & and the team decided that you could have a powerful 'all girl' team?
A: Thanks for the nice comment! I guess what I meant by that was not that the women in the past couldn't have done it on their own but that this group of women just seemed to have the right elements to want to do this, the right spirit perhaps. And I think you'll see after the first few episodes that even though it's not a smooth ride, that the women really enjoy the opportunity to show America how strong they can be. Q: Jeff, did you get to see the elusive pink dolphin?
A: Yes! They were everywhere! They were beautiful and it was a real treat. If you haven't seen them yourself, I hope you get to one day. Q: Jeff, Do you feel the Amazon had more resources for food than the previous locations?
A: Not really. The resources for food in the Amazon is mainly fish and there is certainly plenty of fish. But as you've seen in past Survivors, it's never as easy to catch them as you think. But they were also given a ration of manioc root which is a grain that you can make little patties out of to cook. It doesn't have much taste but it does have nutritional value.
Q: Jeff, you seemed grouch last season. Are you in a better mood this season?
A: Hell no!! Just kidding. You know, I wasn't in a bad mood last season, it's just sometimes my job is to instigate and if people are going to be snippy or get physical or get lippy, I'll get lippy right back at 'em. That's why it's the best job on TV.
Q: Jeff, what's your favorite part about hosting?
A: Tribal council. I love the challenge of getting people who don't want to talk too much. And sometimes not letting the person who's dying to say something, say anything at all. And then go back to my tent and have a diet Coke and a hamburger and be glad I'm not a Survivor. Q: Jeff, if you played the game, would you slink under the radar or would you play Richard Hatch to the max?
A: It's hard to say until you're out there. There's no one strategy. The key to being successful in Survivor in my opinion is adaptability. And I think that holds true in all aspects of life. If you're not able to go with the flow, if you're not able to compromise at times...it's going to be difficult. If you look across the board, most people who have been on how show have been adaptable...Richard Hatch excluded. Q: Jeff, what was the smartest luxury item that was brought this season?
A: That's a good question but hard to answer because it's subjective. So, I'll tell you what my favorite luxury item was. Rob brought a Magic 8 ball and the guys tribe had more fun asking the Magic 8 ball if they were going to get lucky with any of the female Survivors than anything I've ever seen! I think you'll get a kick out of it. Q: What were the weather conditions like in the Amazon?
A: Very hot and humid during the day and lots of rain at night. I'll tell you this: you need to build your shelter as soon as possible or you are most definitely going to get wet. Q: Jeff, do you ever feel bad when someone you like gets kicked off?
A: Sometimes I feel bad if I think somebody who is likeable, hard working and knows how to play the game gets voted out early simply because of those qualities. But I always remind myself it is a game and if they're really good, they wouldn't have been so obvious. Q: How do you choose the names for the tribes?
A: We usually meet with locals and we get lists from them of names of things indigenous to the area, such as fish, birds, names of areas or tribes. Then to be honest with you, we go down the list and start eliminating names that are silly or are spelled funny. This season's names mean "bird" for the women tribe and "fish" for the male tribe.
Q: I have heard that you actually eat the food that the tribe members are challenged to eat. What was the grossest thing you have tried. And have you ever refused to eat anything?
A: I usually try everything we give them so that I have an idea of what they're going through. The grossest thing was the cow's blood in Africa because is was so fresh, warm, salty and we had just taken it out of the cow. To be quite honest, it was a little freaky.
Q: Jeff, give us some good stuff to ponder.
A: I think one thing to keep on eye on this season is the people who are doing a good job of adapting. And I'll leave it at that. Q: Unfortunately, our time with Jeff is up...

23. "Jeffy quote overview/perspective" |
Great Thread! It has motivated me to type my first Survivor 6 post : )Contrary to some other input, every quote has spoiler value, unfortunately it is usually found in hindsight. Anyway, Jeff's last quote of his chat really puts all his other quotes in perspective:
"I think one thing to keep on eye on this season is the people who are doing a good job of adapting. And I'll leave it at that." So big adapter = big finisher. First, the obvious example: Christy
All her quotes relate to needing to adapt, his quote about at tribal councilSSS tells us she lasts, and this goes with CO's input of her status. Adapter. Jeanne: Mom's don't quit. nope they adapt. Adapter. Heidi: wolf in sheeps clothing. adapter? Alex: level headed. adapter? Shawna: his quotes make her sound easy going and an adapter. Matthew: "didn't know anything about how to win survivor" = not an adapter? Janet: lie to win. adapter? although i think she is an early boot. He may have been quoting HER. Butch: will not embarrass himself...hmmmmm...unsure, sounds inflexible and non-adapting... Roger: "Roger is a mentor. Someday a mentor will win" this stinks of non-adapter. I'm not confident that all of these are helpful, but I have a strong interpretation of the outcome of some survivors based on the quotes in this thread. (And also because it matches with other evidence.) Cheers, BI

25. "Nudity at a challenge?" |
Thursday, February 13, 2003
From TV Guide Insider
Seven Silly Questions for Jeff Probst
In honor of the occasion, we present Probst with the ultimate challenge: answering our Seven Silly Questions. — Michael Ausiello
TVGO: Give me one reason why I shouldn't fast-forward through all of the challenges on Survivor: The Amazon?
Probst: (laughing) This is different, because it's men against women... and I think the challenges will be more fun than ever. Can the women do it? Are the guys really going to lose to these girls? TVGO: Um, still fast-forwarding.
Probst: At one challenge, nudity is involved. -------- Hard to tell if Jiffy is joking with that last part, since some of the other questions and answers are tongue-in-cheek. But there is the ChillOne's somewhat obtuse spoiler about one of the women going topless, or whatever.

28. "Jenna not sweetheart, not villain" |
Thanks to ShowMeTheWinner for locating this. Full article:http://www.post-gazette.com/tv/20030213owen0213fnp2.asp "There are going to be some people that, unlike Thailand maybe, you will root for. There are some likable people," he said. "Jenna is likable from the very beginning. ... She is a lippy girl with a pretty decent vocabulary. She can put a thought together in a biting way."." Comparing Jenna to Survivors past proved challenging for the show's host.
"She's not like Elizabeth, she's not America's sweetheart," Probst said. "She's got a point of view, but she's not Jerri, she's not the villain."

29. "More pre-game comments on players" |

Host can spot the survivors
02/20/2003
By MANUEL MENDOZA / The Dallas Morning News MANAUS, Brazil – Mark Burnett has given up predicting. "I predicted Richard Hatch would be the first one voted off," the Survivor executive producer says of the series' first winner. Jeff Probst, the show's host, has no such qualms. Interviewed last fall at Survivor: The Amazon's jungle-lodge headquarters on the Rio Negro before the series was filmed, he was as eager to share his forecasts as the Web geeks who live to guess what'll happen next. (comments on Ryan and Janet deleted) -- Br Early "spoilers" – Web-speak for stories and chat-room discussions that give away plot points in advance – had Shawna Mitchell, 23, and Alex Bell, 32, coupling up and making it to the end of the game. Lately, some Survivor sites have been predicting they'll have early exits.
For his part, Mr. Probst found them charming but says they should watch out for 24-year-old phys-ed teacher Heidi Strobel, whose sweet-and-innocent act he doesn't buy. "I think Heidi is a major player. Heidi is determined. Heidi overcomes any deficiencies she has. ... I don't trust her." Mr. Probst also foresaw good things for Roger Sexton, 56, the bossy construction company executive who received three votes last Thursday, narrowly escaping elimination, and for 24-year-old Christy Smith, who's deaf. "Working against him is he wants to lead," the host says of Roger. "But he's a father, he lost a daughter, he's a Vietnam vet. He has the mentor capability, which could be endearing. There are a lot of young people on this show, and mentors do really well ." Speaking of Christy, he says, "She knows that people are going to be talking behind her back. But she also knows she's a much better lip reader than she's going to let on." Mr. Probst was less hopeful about the chances of other contestants, including: • Rob Cesternino, 24, Survivor: The Amazon's comedian: "The trickster, you always need him. He's the guy who's going to make everybody laugh. The trickster, though, has never gone past the merge." • Dave Johnson, 24 , the rocket scientist: "He's got a shot, if he's not too threatening. His dilemma is going to be not giving away too much." • Matthew von Ertfelda, 33, the restaurant designer/world traveler: "The best thing he could get from this show is humility. Let's see if he has the willpower to not brag, because I don't think he does." • Daniel Lue, 27, the Houston accountant who caused the men's tribe to lose last week's immunity challenge: "His attitude screams, 'Look at me.' He's really happy that he's built his body, that he was a little weakling and he's not anymore." The Houston Chronicle reported last week that Daniel was diagnosed with malaria after he returned from Brazil. He and the other contestants took preventive medicine while they were on the show. Mr. Probst listed 22-year-old swimsuit model Jenna Morasca as the biggest sleeper in the group – the dark horse who could win by lying low.
