“Expect more of that,” the host says.

Probst who has definitelyupped his sass factorthis season also adds that he loves dishing out the penalties.
The biggest one is you get voted out and your game is over.
Plus, the loss of flint now becomes somebody elses problem.
Now Siga has to go deal with this situation, says Probst.
And their game is going to change as a result.
(He failed, earning scoffs from trueSurvivorsuperfans everywhere.)
It was the bang out of game Probst was initially trying to move away from.
Personally, I’ve avoided doing trivia types of things related toSurvivor, he says.
And the reason is I always felt like it was too exclusionary.
You have to be a massiveSurvivorfan.
And I thought: Yeah, that’s going to leave too many people out.
And I realized this was my own bias.
Not for Hunter, unfortunately.
