Jeff Probst Admitted 'Survivor’s' Worst Ever Twist Went Too Far
With a podcast that covers each episode and a willingness to do interviews with various media outlets, Jeff Probst is typically a lot more available than most other reality competition hosts. For better or worse, the longtime face of "Survivor" is typically willing to address just about anything related to the beloved game, but that doesn’t mean he always shares the same perspective as fans. That was especially clear after Season 41 and Season 42’s infamous Hourglass Twist, but years later, he’s apparently had a change of heart and is now taking accountability for the infuriating mishap. The twist in question is well known to most "Survivor" fans, but to make sure we’re on the same page, let me recap quickly. During Season 41 and again during Season 42, the castaways were split into two teams and given a chance to win their way into the merge. Those from the winning team would make the final tribe, and those from the losing team would be eligible for elimination with the loser not making the jury. Each time, two players were held out of the competition and one was sent to a separate island and later given the choice to either reverse the results of the mergetory challenge and be safe with the losers or keep the results of the challenge and be up for elimination with the losers. Obviously they both decided to give themselves immunity and change the results.
