Jeff Probst is cracking down on how he handles long term quitters on Survivor.
“I want to claim proper here in your display that from this point forward if you're a Survivor participant and also you surrender, your torch will not be snuffed,” Probst, 62, mentioned all the way through a Wednesday, November 15, episode of Live With Kelly and Mark. “That’s over. To get your torch snuffed, you were given to play the game.”
Probst’s emotional reaction comes after Survivor 45 had two avid gamers — Hannah Rose and Sean Edwards — hand over ahead of making it to the halfway level of the game, in spite of the present agenda having a shorter time period. In the outdated technology, castaways would compete for 39 days. However, with the advent of COVID-19 protocols in 2020, the new seasons apply a 26-day format.
When puzzled why some other people decide to give up their likelihood for the million-dollar prize and title of Sole Survivor, Probst theorized the atmosphere of the Fijian jungle performs a big phase.
“The something you'll be able to’t take a look at for in all the psych checking out is all the real elements — the rain, the bamboo, the snakes and all that,” he defined.
Since the fact display’s premiere in 2000, only a handful of contestants have voluntarily exited the recreation.
“The fact is over Forty five seasons, not up to one percent surrender,” he explained to hosts Kelly Ripa and Mark Consuelos. “So it’s pretty exceptional people in fact do it.”
Survivor got its first quitter in the 7th season of the sequence, Survivor: Pearl Islands. Osten Taylor requested his tribe to vote him out due to the physical toll the game had taken on his body. Probst known as Taylor out all through the tribal council and mentioned his request sounded extra like a hand over quite than a sacrifice for his staff.
“Take it for whatever you wish to have. If you wanna say quitting, for those who wanna say preventing. “Yeah, I’m quitting,” Taylor stated at the time. “My health to me is extra important to me than 1,000,000 dollars, I assume.”
Probst was angered by means of Taylor’s determination at the time and while snuffing his torch, the host quipped: “Osten, in keeping with your needs, pass house,” as a substitute of his tagline, “The tribe has spoken.”

Years later, Probst admitted that the first-ever give up agitated him and reflected on how he addressed it.
“I used to be so disillusioned about it,” Probst confessed in a January 2013 interview with the Television Academy Foundation. “I was like, ‘I’m no longer saying “the Tribe has spoken.’ You gotta earn that line!’ and [creator Mark Burnett] stated, ‘Fine, don’t say it.’ So I stated, ‘Per your wishes, cross house!’ And I be mindful going house and thinking, ‘That used to be so suave, Probst.’”
