Survivor 46 has been a difficult season for some of the contestants – notably Ben Katzman, who was shown suffering panic attacks on the 12th episode.
Following that penultimate episode of Survivor 46, host Jeff Probst spoke about the difficulty of the season with co-host Jay Wolff and Survivor 45 winner Dee Valladares.
The conversation was a major part of his new On Fire podcast episode, Play or Get Played.
It began as a discussion about the change from 39 days to 26-day seasons, and how Jeff feels about the game possibly getting more difficult for New Era players.
The New Era of Survivor is every season that has taken place following Survivor 40: Winners At War.
It was during Survivor 41 that the reality competition show shifted from being 39 days long to its current form of 26 days.

[Warning: The following contains Major spoilers for Survivor Season 46 Episode 9.] Idol this, idol that. Jeff Probst says that promising to play an idol is a big nothing burger in Survivor. His comments come after Hunter was eliminated in Survivor Season 46 Episode 9 with an idol in his pocket, despite having sworn to other players that he was going to play it for himself in tribal council that night. Promises like this, Probst says, are complete “nonsense.” Probst revealed his feelings about idol promises in the On Fire podcast released after Episode 9 aired on CBS on April 24. He told his co-hosts, Survivor fan Jay Wolff and Season 45 winner Dee Valladares, that he knows as much about what players are going to do with their idols as fans: “Nothing.” As the host and showrunner, however, he knows “who has an idol for sure.” In his 20+ years with the show, one thing is certain: “It’s extremely rare when a player...

[Warning: The following contains Major spoilers for Survivor Season 46 Episode 8, “Hide ‘N Seek”] Q was the star of Survivor Season 46 Episode 8. The player sees himself as the “mob boss” of his six-person alliance, and despite some not enjoying his bold efforts to control the votes, he’s succeeded every time he’s taken the reins. On Survivor‘s On Fire podcast about “Hide ‘N Seek” (take a listen below), Jeff Probst dove into why this makes Q a “maddening” opponent. He also shared his reaction to Q causing that wild live Tribal Council and explained how Survivor hopefuls could survive one in the future. Probst told his On Fire co-hosts, Survivor fan Jay Wolff and Season 45 winner Dee Valladares, that Q got so much screen time in Episode 8 not just because he’s entertaining, but because he’s driving the story forward. From the “QVC” moment with the skirt to making the tribe play Hide and Seek...

Jeff Probst says there are past players on Survivor who would never make it onto the show now. The host said in the April 11 episode of the On Fire podcast, the show’s official aftershow podcast, that this is the result of a changed culture, which he says is for the better. Probst was joined in the episode by co-host Jay Wolff and Survivor 45 winner Dee Valladares. The trio broke down Survivor Season 46 Episode 7, which aired on Wednesday, April 10 on CBS and featured a scene during which a contestant, Ben, had a panic attack in the middle of the night. Fellow contestant Kenzie supported him through it in a show of compassion and care. Probst said on On Fire that Ben had a psychological team on standby should he need assistance. The medical and mental health services provided to the players are factors Probst loves, noting that these services are...

Currently in its 46th season, the Yanu tribe has hit an all-time low when it comes to loss and suffering, by losing the first four of their immunity challenges.
They’ve voted someone out of the tribe three times, and the fourth had a member medically evacuated.
As such, the tribe did not have flint for the first 11 days of the season. No flint equals out to no fire, and this is the longest time, since the “new era” began during Survivor 41, that a tribe has gone this long without flint.
Still, despite how hard it is to “survive” without fire on Survivor, it doesn’t look like this rule will change.

The second season of Jeff Probst‘s popular “On Fire: The Official Survivor Podcast” debuts on September 27 immediately following CBS’s 90-minute premiere of “Survivor 45.” And this time around, the podcast is adding a past contestant to give insights from “the player’s point of view.” That person is Rick Devens, the fan-fave finalist who came in fourth place back in “Survivor: Edge of Extinction,” the 38th season that aired in Spring 2019.
Devens joins Probst and podcast producer Jay Wolff for weekly deep dives into the Emmy-winning reality TV series. Unlike other podcasts that simply offer recaps, “On Fire” is the ultimate “Survivor” companion that goes behind the scenes to reveal how and why certain aspects of the show came to be.

There’s no denying that Survivor is a show with serious staying power. This cult classic premiered in May 2000 and is now in its 44th season.
Survivor follows 18 castaways who are dropped on the beautiful islands of Fiji with very few luxury items (and zero toiletries), who form a new society, compete in mental and physical challenges, and try to survive the harsh conditions in order to be crowned Sole Survivor and win the $1 million prize. The castaways often come from diverse backgrounds and are very competitive, which makes for some interesting reality TV.
Needless to say, the show’s host, Emmy Award-winner Jeff Probst, has to do some preparation of his own in order to lead the castaways to victory. Recently, on his podcast, he revealed the rather unique way he prepares to host each season.

Jeff Probst has hosted Survivor since the CBS reality competition series’ first season in 2000. And for the first time in the show’s history, he is also hosting a Survivor-themed podcast that airs alongside season 44’s episodes. During the podcast’s first episode, our ears perked up when we heard Probst make an offhand comment about one Survivor 44 castaway. And we couldn’t help but wonder if he might have spoiled this player’s future in the game.
[Spoiler alert: This article contains spoilers from Survivor 44.]

“Omghi” is a digital series that originally premiered at last fall’s Downtown Los Angeles Film Festival and is now racking up 500,000 views per episode, but the instant gratification of digital success will make it harder for creators to enjoy projects on other mediums. “It’s amazing to see hundreds of thousands of people responding to your show in real-time,” co-writer and director Julian Wolff told TheWrap. Wolff, who is gearing up to shoot an independent feature film later this year, said the movie that is currently in pre-production will be a challenge because “Omghi” has received such positive feedback…...
