But you have to promise not to tellanyonebecause its supes embarrassing. I once had a rat tail. Now, in my defense, I didnt know I had a rat tail. Credit: Robert Voets/CBS I didnt ask for a rat tail. At first, I thought he meant something gross. Then I thought he just meant a special super-good haircut. (They did not carryPlayboyatMon Salon.) It was only then when I saw what that fake French bastard had done to me....

Let’s take this challenge underwater Look, I dont want to embarrass my kids. So lets talk about potty training, shall we? Potty training is goofy as hell. Credit: Robert Voets/CBS Single tears roll down cheeks in absolute joy. And you know what? As parents, we loved it! We loved the Royal Potty! Ah, the aqua dump. Yes, aqua dumps can be scary. But I have never in my life seen someone as excited as Simone to take part in thisSurvivorritual....

One man’s devastation is another man’s good TV Im going to say something nice about Patrick. After all, the guy got voted out. Its literallythe leastI could do. Credit: Robert Voets/CBS Its certainly not going to be about his social game, which was clearly terrible. (So much for the second coming of Stealth R Us.) ESPECIALLY WHEN LYING IS PART OF THE GAME!!! Thats my admittedly gamebot approach to things....

Nobody’s doing the math Shes a fraud. A total, absolute, and complete fraud. That can be the only takeaway from tonightsSurvivor. Credit: CBS She analyzed contestants like data when deciding early on which Hero to align with. But it was all a show a dance, if you will. No decimal points required. Just 11 minus 1. You take one down, pass it around, and now what are you left with?...

Plus, the annual season-by-season ranking I had a babysitter once. I mean, I had a babysitter a lot of times when I was a little kid. So I had a lot of babysitters. Credit: CBS But there was this one babysitter who was the best. It was all mind-numbing garbage. And I loved it. However, she was nowhere near as bad as the members of the Solewa tribe were at babysitting Ben....

A contestant opens up about his demons Im kind of a germaphobe. Not a super crazy one, mind you. Well, on second thought, maybe Iama super crazy one.

Hustlers’.Credit: Robert Voets/CBS When anyone in my family gets sick I basically quarantine myself off from all of them. I need a hug, only to get the response, Daddys hugs cost $5 billion dollars....

I think Im a freakin weasel. Ryan This week ofSurvivorwas all about cause and effect for Ryan. The episode began with Ali asking Ryan why he blindsided her with the Roark vote. Credit: Robert Voets/CBS (Dean of Admissions: Hannah Shapiro.) It was the first real social blunder weve seen from my episode 1 pick to win it all. And that just raised Alis apprehension. I cant have enemies in this game, he told us....

Soooo, that didnt go well.Survivorsuper-fanJacob Derwins dream came true when he made it onto his favorite show. How did it all go so wrong for Jacob? Here are some excerpts from our chat. EW RADIO: What the heck happened out there, man? I was so angry. I was so furious. I needed anything else. And then you see Dom get his idol in the episode. Looking back, there are other ways I could have used it....

But what would have happened there if two people grabbed it and wrestled over it? The short answer is we always endeavor to let players figure it out on their own. So if youre in a wrestling match for an idol, dont let go! But interestingly, that is never a problem. There is this strange integrity that is shared by all players when it comes to the unspoken rules ofSurvivor....

Each week, Jeff Probst will answer a few questions about the latest episode ofSurvivor: Ghost Island. The boats were already traveling and the players were already anticipating the next phase. Everybody knows what the merge is so lets just get to it. And this season, I think the merge is going to be very interesting. Can the Naviti vs. Malolo rivalry continue or will the fracturing begin? Once again we were blessed with abundance....

Each week, Jeff Probst will answer a few questions about the latest episode ofSurvivor: Ghost Island. That time… has passed. It all looks gnarly. Credit: Screen Grab/CBS Entertainment But the chunks… the things you have to slowly chew. Those are the ones that would get me. As a follow-up to that, which would you consider the most disgustingSurvivordish of all time? My vote goes towards balut.We are in total agreement on that one....

I remember what he was wearing and I remember the reaction after he left. We were all really drawn to his powerful story but also his strong presence. His reason for playing to help other veterans feels completely authentic. I dont think he is grandstanding. I think he really wants other vets to see in him what they can have in their own life. They are always of the time....

Each week Jeff Probst will answer a few questions about the latest episode ofSurvivor: Ghost Island. Im just one vote, but Im often fairly quick to connect. That was the case with Donathan. He was very open and vulnerable in sharing his story. He was instantly engaging. He has a great dialect.Survivorhas never had anyone like Donathan. Our casting process is far from a science. We want people who love the show, know the game, and can tell a story....
