And Jeff confessed, “It’s impossible to describe what Survivor represents to me. Impossible. It goes beyond creative expression or professional recognition. It’s much deeper.”

But the Survivor host shared that his reason for staying falls “right in line with the ideas I try to impress on our players. It’s about pushing myself further than I think I can go, about trying to stay in the moment and adapt to my surroundings.”

And Probst also remains because he sees himself as a positive member of the Survivor tribe. But the host also wants to stay “open to new ideas and new people. The same opportunities Survivor offers the players, it offers me. I love Survivor and I still need Survivor.”

And then he responded to fans asking if season 50 will mark his last. “I still love Survivor very much. I think that’s pretty clear. Survivor 50 is definitely our next big target in terms of a milestone,” added Probst. 

“But you’ve got to remember: We’ve got to get there. So you have to do 45 and 46, then you have to do 47 and 48, then you have to do 49, then you get to 50. So it is one at a time.” 

And then Probst shared exactly what he needs in order to stay. “I have no intention of wanting to stop so long as the show continues to be fun and the people applying continue to be interesting.” But he also wants to keep “our team together.”

And Jeff called that “sort of the whole enchilada. Because I get way more credit than I deserve,” he added. “This show is made by a giant group, and we’re all in it together. And I would not want to do the show with another team. It would be difficult, if not impossible, to start over with new people. So I’m in it as long as everybody else on the team is in it.”
