Jeff Probst Says He Faked ‘Survivor’ Spoilers to Throw Off Reporters

He describes using suggestive cues in interviews to keep outcomes secure during the show’s edited run.

Overview

  • Probst detailed the tactic on the latest episode of his On Fire with Jeff Probst podcast after a fan asked about accidental spoilers.
  • He said he would feign a slip, roll his eyes, linger, and reply with “Did I?” to make interviewers think he had revealed something.
  • The host insisted he does not recall ever actually spoiling results despite the deliberate ambiguity.
  • Probst noted he sometimes tells reporters he could name the winner, relying on his persona to keep them uncertain.
  • He added that he gauges what fans have seen because production edits ahead, and entertainment outlets reported his remarks the same day.
