Ive talked enough about how much I love Tony Vlachos.
Now its your turn.
JEFF PROBST:Okay, yes, we love Tony!!
CBS
We always start at the end and work backwards.
This season has been like no other.
The amount of material we have to work with is enormous.
We have 20 great storytellers and 20 great players.
Weve never had it this good.
Okay, back to Tony.
It really was quite a display of so many different layers of game play.
Everybody has their own style.
Some are flashy, some are quiet.
Ive always thought Sophie to be incredibly smart and incredibly underestimated.
What did you see from her out there this season?
I am in total agreement with your assessment.
She is one of my favorite winners because of her stealth mode.
She is very competitive in challenges and she rarely plays from an emotional standpoint.
Her self-assessment is a surprise to me, and, I would bet, to most fans.
I dont think she is seen that way at all.
As far as this season, I feel like we are seeing an even more mature Sophie.
Sophie should not be underestimated on The Edge.
Tyson said something pretty fascinating at the Edge of Extinction that really struck me.
It can ruin peoples lives to lose the game.
There are a lot of people that go home and struggle with it for years.
I definitely dont think that getting voted out is any easier after you have already won the game.
In fact, I would guess its exponentially more difficultbecauseof the fact youve already won.
To go an entire season and never get voted out is like playing a perfect game.
When you do that the first time you play, you fully expect you will do it again.
You cant imagine the other because youve never experienced it.
There is nowhere to hide.
This game is enormously difficult.
The physical challenges are beyond demanding, you cant trust anyone, your cognitive functions are challenged.
It depletes a person on every measurable level.
And then if you lose on top of it, you might second guess yourself for years.
With every passing season, I gain more respect for those who have played.
It’s a great question, I am so glad you asked.
In the case of advantages being played at Tribal, it does not matter who goes first.
The reason is that Jeremys advantage is not intended to nullify another advantage.
So it would not be fair to Sarah.
Again…A SPY NEST!!!!
What else can you tell us about next weeks episode?
I wish we could just play it tonight.
I cant believe that Im the person who gets to sit across from these players every night!
They are absolutely killing it.
Game-play at a level we have never seen in 20 years.
We are in the middle of what will probably forever be known as The G.S.O.S.O.A.T.
