Jeff Probst has been telling fans that this season of Survivor 2016 would be the most brutal yet with their toughest living conditions yet and even three medevacs.
Probst spoke with TV Guide for an interview released last week for the season premiere. In their discussion he revealed it wouldn’t be until the fourth episode of Kaoh Rong that things really take a turn for the worst. So bad, in fact, that this should settle any debates over the show’s authenticity.
“This season is going to put a pin in that. The fourth episode is epic. It’s pretty full-on, and it’s exciting because we tell the story in a new way. We let the audience sort of see behind the scenes of what’s happening.
To the few who still may think that we’re a show that isn’t real – which drives me nuts, because of all the scripted ‘unscripted’ shows – it will answer once again any questions about whether or not this show is real.”
So we’re just two weeks out from watching the first round of this season’s craziness that’s been hyped for quite awhile. Another interesting point on that is when TV Guide notes “at least one contestant will be forced to quit for medical reasons.” We had heard there there three medevacs, so does someone get evacuated and then return or is the three count wrong? We’ll have to wait and see.
I truly don’t like to see anyone hurt but I have to say this is getting exciting!
I am with you Mary. Wonder how they will play out the show if some leave too early. Will they have no tribal council?
I can’t see that. Maybe they’ll merge soon?
Maybe so. Guess we will find out.
Can’t wait :-)
Me either lady. I think this season so far is good.
I’m going to go watch last week’s episode right now so I can be ‘in the know’ tonight. Anyone seen Cuddles here lately?
I do that as well. I always miss something. I have not seen cuddles in a while. I hope she is okay.
Not today, she posted yesterday.
It is!
Yes, catch up on it Sharona, you won’t be disappointed and it’s so nice having you here with us.
Me too, Carol.
Thanks, Mary! I just finished. I cannot believe they didn’t get rid of Alecia! What the? I mean, COME ON!
As much as I think they both need to go, Alecia definitely should have gone last week. Hope you’ll be watching it tonight :)
Love your new avatar.
Thank you. I had a German Shepard growing up, then became a cat person as an adult, so I thought I’d post this for a little while.
I’ll be there, good Lord willin’ and the creek don’t rise!
For those who don’t know. Two people are medically evacuated from Cambodia after being voted out. Only one person is medically evacuated while still in the game. This adds up to the ‘three’ number that Mark Burnett mentioned. I don’t know who any of these people are, or whether any of those evacuated would have otherwise been on the jury.
Interesting, thanks golden etc etc etc
Fourth episode, that’ll be March 9…looking forward!
