I think this guy is on to some good spoiling stuff. At least we can get some idea of what is going on a little behind the scenes. Although, we must take Jiffy's opinions with a grain of salt.

Probst On Shawna
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
My buddy (from last week's "Daniel's Mom" thread in Spec) just did his/her weekly radio interview with Probst. I gave 'em some questions to include in the interview, specifically about Shawna, and I think Jeff's response to that question in particular was interesting.Here's what JP had to say during his five minutes on air -
On Daniel: He never got a shot - he associated himself with Ryan from the beginning and never got a chance to get going.
On the difference between the women and men: The men went back to camp after the reward challenge talking about, "Did you hear what she said about me?", but the women were saying, "Oh, they're easier than we thought."
On Shawna: Well, this is the first time we've had to deal with the question "What happens if someone wants to quit?" Usually I will try to encourage them and tell them that they will get a second wind, so just hang in there. But this is the first time we've encountered this, and we can't make them stay in the game.
But with Shawna . . . just let me say that wanting to quit and being able to quit are two different things, and when you see the episode next week you'll see what I mean.
On the challenges: The women are just listening better. I tell them all before we get started each season to be sure and listen carefully when I am explaining things, because I'm only going to tell them once. Last night was a perfect example - I told them specifically to be sure you chop the correct rope. The women did exacly that, but the men went for the wrong knot - there was a specific sequence to follow, and the guys didn't do that. They also tried to lift the board instead of sliding it out like the women did - just as I instructed.
Now let me tell you that the guys who put these challeges together go out of their way to make it so that if you screw up early, it makes it worse the further you go. The guys are just not listening.
On Matthew: Let me tell you, one of my favorite all-time moments happened last night when Matthew was speaking to Daniel in Mandarin. We knew he could do that, but you never know when something like that is going to happen. Now Matthew is one of those people who just doesn't get the game, either - he is an outcast who associated himself with Daniel and Ryan early, and now he is in a precarious situation.
That's all for now - my buddy talked to Danny's Momma this morning, too, and I'll post a synopsis of what The Big Mouth said over in Spec later today. In the meantime, though, I've got a show to cut - some of us have to work for a living!
