Early Show: Jeff Probst

Jeff Probst was on the CBS Early Show this morning. His appearance was very brief, maybe 5 minutes. However he did reveal the beginning to the show.

Survivor Palau Premiers tonight at 8:00 p.m. on CBS.

Two Immunity Necklaces
To start the show the castaways will be on a boat and shown their beach. Then Jeff tells them that there are 2 immunity necklaces on shore. The first woman to get there wins one necklace and the first man wins the other.

Huge Personalities
Jeff also said this edition is full of "huge personalities." Apparently last season some viewers thought Survivor Vanuatu was a little flat and being right after All-Star Survivor that's understandable. He said that shouldn't be a complaint with Survivor Palau.

Jeff's Favorite Winner
Asked for his favorite Survivor winner, Jeff responded "Hatch." That would be Richard Hatch, winner of the first Survivor. His least favorite player ever is Johnny Fairplay. Jeff said Johnny is just like he was on Survivor Panama. Fairplay was good as a castaway TV-wise, but personally Jeff just doesn't care for him.

The L Word
Jeff also talked a little about Julie Berry, castaway on Survivor Vanuatu. He said that he wasn't just dating her but that he was in love with her. Ever the professional, he said they started their romance after Vanuatu ended. If I remember correctly, Jeff has said that they stayed in touch after Vanuatu (by email, phone etc.) and their friendship blossomed into love. Now isn't that sweet? Julie's bio at CBS.

Rupert Alert
The ever popular Rupert Boneham (Survivor Panama and All-Star) will do a live internet chat tonight at 9:00 p.m. ET at WeLoveBigBrother.com.

Survivor Live, the Internet Talk Show
The time has been moved up slightly. It will now premier tomorrow at 2:00 p.m. ET at CBS.com. Still no word on who the host(s) will be. I guess the guest(s) will be the castaway(s) voted off on tonight's show.
