Jeff Probst's blog posts about each week's Survivor episode are reliably amusing. This week's is no exception. I can never remember all the details, of what I watch the night before. The memory starts to fade soon after the TV is turned off.
Jeff Probst remembers all the details. Of course, he has the advantage of having lived it in person, well some of it in person. And he's met these people in person, so he remembers the names, which I have a lot of trouble with.
Anyway, below is Jeff Probst's blogging about the latest episode of Survivor...

by Jeff Probst
Hi, guys. I’m going to ask for forgiveness in advance. Today’s blog is lacking a little bit but only because it was a really busy week for me and I just didn’t have time to sit down and allocate the time I normally do to sharing insight and finding new places to say the word “holllllla!” I will do my best to be back in strong force next week and thanks for understanding.

You knew the tribe switch was coming when Marty said: “It would take something extraordinary, off the charts and completely whacked out to destroy my plan.” Marty, did you forget what game you’re playing? This isSurvivor. We invented the “twist.” The only thing you can count on with Survivor is to never count on anything.

You knew Tyrone was in trouble when the tribe said they wanted to kill the chicken and Tyrone said, “So we going with that?” But when he then followed it up with “I think we should keep it,” you knew he would get votes.
