JEFF PROBST:The question is a fair and reasonable one.

I’ve endeavored to be as forthcoming as possible with you regarding everything that has happened this season.
In this situation, out of respect for privacy and confidentiality, I can’t say anymore.
This is the first time in 39 seasons you have removed someone due to bad behavior.
It has been an unprecedented season.
Complex social issues were woven into the game in a way we have never seen before.
We have learned a lot and it will inform our process moving forward.
How did Dan take the news that you were removing him?
When we first told Dan we were pulling him from the game, he was not happy.
I have to say that it’s a very complicated situation for the players.
They’re on day 35 of 39.
They’re very close to the end.
They’re also in a state of “eyes on the prize.”
These conversations both internally and with outside organizations will continue.
What can you say about next week’s finale?
But simply from a game point of viewthe Island of the Idols twist has really had a big impact.
So many of the visits and tests with Sandra and Rob have resulted in game-changing moments back at camp.
The finale is no different!
There is one more visit to Island of the Idols, and it could change the entire game.
I love finales, and this is a good one!
