Jeff Probst wins the Emmy!

by Lessa

Last night at the Emmys, there was a brand new category - Outstanding Reality Show Host - and to kick off their first year, it was decided that the five nominees would share the hosting duties of the Emmy’s themselves. It was an interesting idea, though I don’t think it played out as well as it was hoped that it would. The hosts were:

Heidi Klum (Project Runway), who lit up the stage, as always…
Tom Bergeron of Dancing with the Stars, and AFV
Howie Mandel - how and when was “Deal or no deal’ declared a reality show?!? I thought it was a GAME show..
Ryan Seacrest, AI, who hosted the Emmys last year
and of course the best of the best - Mr. Dimples! I mean, Jeff Probst!

He cleans up pretty damn good, don’t he? Rawr!

When it came time to dish out the award though, there was no doubt who the winner would be - at least for us here at Watching Survivor! The winner of the first ever Emmy for Outstanding Reality Show Host was none other then Jeff Probst! (Survivor’s ready? GO!)

Congratulations, Jeff, on a well deserved award! It took them 16 seasons to recognize your genius - so it’s about time!

Here’s a few shots of the festivities, and of course, Jeff with his Emmy.

Don’t forget! The premiere of Survivor: Gabon is THIS THURSDAY on CBS, and if you haven’t done so yet, there is still time to get in on the first week of the WS Pool Party! Scoot over there and join our pool, run by FunOfficePools, and see if YOU can come out on top by predicting correctly the winner, and who will be booted week to week! You know you want too…

And to entice you farther - after the cut, there’s the ONE spoiler I’ve been able to dig up for the first episode, to help you make this weeks picks. It has to do with that last picture there in the gallery…

I know. I’m too good to you. (grin)

SurvivorFever posted this screen cap from one of the promotional vids:

From it, we can clearly see that Kota wins the first Immunity Challenge!

Here’s the list of who goes to what Tribe, as far as we know, so pick your possible boots wisely!

Red Tribe: Fang
Crystal Cox, Dan Kay, Danny Brown (GC), Gillian Larson, Ken Hoang, Matty Whitmore, Michelle Chase, Randy Bailey, Susie Smith

Yellow Tribe: Kota
Ace Gordon, Bob Crawley, Charlie Herschel, Corinne Kaplan, Jacque Berg, Jessica Kiper (Sugar), Kelly Czarnecki, Marcus Lehman, Paloma Soto-Castilla

The Merged Tribal Name will be Nobag - Gabon, backwards.
