‘Survivor: South Pacific – I Need Redemption’ Episode 1 – Recap
Posted on 14. Sep, 2011 by Michelle Ealey.
The castaways of Survivor: South Pacific
Willingly stranding themselves on an island in the beautiful South Pacific, eighteen people compete for one million dollars on the current season of Survivor. Like last season, Redemption Island, two veteran players join sixteen others; this season sees the return of Ozzy and Coach. Both players have played the game twice before but have never won, so each wants to redeem himself and play a better game. Also back this season is Redemption Island; players that are voted off will be isolated and given basic supplies. To stay in the game, voted off players have to fight in a duel in Redemption Arena. If a person wins enough duels, players will get the chance to return to the game. Hosted by Jeff Probst, Survivor still has the same premise—39 days. 18 people. 1 sole survivor.
Ozzy gets help to complete the puzzle and win the hero challenge
The first episode begins with the tribe members getting to know each other. On the beach, the new people have already been separated into two tribes. The red buffs are worn by the Savaii tribe, and the Upolu tribe is in blue. Jeff has Ozzy and Coach pick an egg; Ozzy slams his egg against his chest revealing red paint. Ozzy’s tribe welcomes him warmly. However, Upolu is not thrilled to have Coach as a member; one Upolu member, Christine, declares that Coach and Ozzy are temporary players. Jeff announces the first challenge, a hero challenge. Ozzy and Coach have to climb a pole, get a turtle figure, dig in the sand to go under a log, and then complete a puzzle. Ozzy leads at the beginning, but Coach is not far behind. At the puzzle, Ozzy asks for help from his tribe. Both tribes help, but Savaii works together very well, and Ozzy blazes through the puzzle, winning food and fire for his tribe.

‘Survivor South Pacific’ Redemption Island Changes
Posted on 14. Sep, 2011 by Ken Ruddell.
Jeff Probst explains to Dalton Ross with EW.com changes to the Redemption Island twist and why it’s back. When you go to EW.com make sure you scroll down to the video of Jeff explaining the reasoning behind bringing back Redemption Island.
I really don’t like the Redemption Island idea mainly becuase it takes away the FINALITY of the Tribal Council vote. And to me that weakens the game. What your thoughts? Would love to hear them.

Jeff Probst – Survivor Host – Current & Future Job?
Posted on 17. Jul, 2011 by Ken Ruddell.
On Friday July 15, 2011 it was reproted Jeff took a little break from filming Survivor and returned to celebrate his Emmy Nomination as host of Survivor as well as the Nominations for the show. The question is how long will he be running the Tribal Councils. He has another season for sure but then what?
This leads me into our next topic about the future of Jeff as host of Survivor or maybe even the end of Survivor. We have 2 remaining seasons scheduled for Survivor (23 & 24 both in Samoa). What will happen after that is the million dollar question? As most have known for a while now Jeff will be hosting a daytime talk show in 2012 as reported on Entertainment Weekly. Now I am sure he would be able to have have guest hosts take over for him while he is filming Survivor, that is if he wants to continue hosting the show…
My GUESS is that Season 24 will be an All-Star season. Although that would be a great way to end the series, it could also be a great way to introduce a new host for Survivor. I read and heard about so many people trying to get on the show; so we know it is still popular. But we also have to realize the ratings continue to drop every year, so at what point would it not be worth it for CBS & the Survivor producers to continue.
MY VOTE IS TO CONTINUE ON. What on earth would I do without Survivor? The shows has introduced us to so many interesting & unique people. Like Rupert, Rob(s), Sue Hawk, Russell, Colby, Rudy the Navy Seal, Parvati, Amanda, Colleen, Bob, Yau-Man, Tom, Lex, Ozzy, Amber, Sandra, Ethan, JT, Fabio, Yul, Sash, Jerry, Coach, Phillip and so many others (no disrespect to all of the others not listed).
I would like to see the series continue for many more years to come. And I would be glad to help the producers come up with creative ways to keep the show interesting. How about bringing back some of those crazy food eating challenges… nothing like eating whole spiders (legs & all) YUUUUUUK.
