Did Jeff Probst influence the game?

by Lessa

OooooohdaLOLLY the Survivor boards are in an uproar! Think I’m kidding? Here’s just a taste of what’s going on:

I officially HATE Jeff!!!!!!! What a JERK!!! I don’t care what the producers told him to do.. Jeff basically TOLD Dreamz to vote for Michelle.. and that was WRONG!! Michelle was a great player and she did NOT deserve to go. That note ended up being pointless… He shouldn’t have talked to them at Tribal Council at ALL!! That would have been much better… and Michelle would still be around. I’m VERY VERY upset! Never have I seen something like that on Survivor. Michelle deserves to be on the next ALL-STARS and Jeff deserves to be sent to Exile Island!!!

I hope someone brings this up at the REUNION special! I want someone to put Jeff in his place!

Also.. Dreamz is a complete moron.

Cheers,
J

J here (so cheerfully cheering us after yelling so much!) is not alone, for sure, though there are plenty of Jeff supporters too. For the most part, the upset comes from the show where Alex was asked more questions then the rest of them, thus sealing Michelle’s fate.

Now, several Survivors have been asked before about Tribal Council, even this season, and it’s an established fact that what we see is but a few moments of the entire TC - just like the show covers 2-3 days an episode, and we see 45 minutes. Seems to be common sense to me! Jeff has also said repeatedly that he doesn’t watch any tapes before Tribal Council, thus he follows his gut instinct to ask questions, which clearly he does very well after 13.5 seasons.

So the question is - Did Jeff influence the game and Michelle’s demise or not? What do you think?

    Nope, this is not Jeff’s fault–this is Alex being extremely smart and (at least from what we saw) getting the last word. Every single one of them had the same opportunity to do what Alex did and single someone out (like Mookie could have done that to Stacy and spelled it out for Dreamz he was voting against her, and I’m sure Dreamz would have followed suit). It’s just no one else thought of it in time. Alex is a lawyer, right? Not to perpetuate the lawyer stereotype, but they are trained to make their case succinctly and think on their feet.
