Probst talked to Chuck Klosterman on a Grantland podcast:

"A couple of seasons ago we had a couple of people with IQs that were very low. I called casting from location and said 'No more dumb people.' Because these people were so dumb they actually screwed the game up.

There is a limit on the IQ. You've gotta have somewhere in the lower average IQ. These were so low. Unfortunately low. Life will be harder for them because they are so low."

Who could that have been?

I listened to the Podcast also.

I am really curious who the two people are and what season they messed up
Anybody have any thoughts?

Nanonka? Wasnt that The girl that quit and was a complete idiot?

I was always a big fan of Osten, the black physical fitness trainer who couldn't swim (that's racist), got schooled in a weight endurance challenge by Rupert and then quit.

Now that I think about it.....that chick from a few years ago that had the weird relationship with her cousin....she has to be one of the people that Probst was talking about.

survivor sucks seemed to believe it was leif (little person) and christina (asian woman who everyone hated).

I definitely agree on leif, because he just wasn't even playing the game, but christina seemed to be more socially retarded.

personally, I'd say brandon. he makes for interesting tv but he's a TERRIBLE game player and is largely unpredictable simply and will act against his own best interests. but he's a hantz, so no way jeff was talking about him.

That pod was excellent by the way. I always love the way Klosterman overanalyzes and the types of questions he asks. And Probst was pretty game.

Christina was actually my other guess.

If I was a betting man my two choices would be Christina and Kat from Survivor One World.

who goes home tonight?

The previews make it seem like lil Hantz goes home in a body bag or a strait jacket.

Don't see how it won't be Brandon

My guess is he goes nuts after a reward challenge, but the favs still win immunity and he sticks around until they lose one.

One of the commercials that I saw had Probst standing on the beach behind Brandon with his hands on his shoulders. Probst then said that they were going to have Tribal Council right then and there. Anyone else see this?

I saw that too Bird Law. Looks like it happens before a challenge.

No more Hantz' please

Great episode I thought from an entertainment perspective

absolutely but I don't want it to be the norm. I enjoy watching rational players play.

I quit watching for a few years because of Russell. This is my first season back. Brandon is trying me right now.

Loved it when Jeff asked him if it was "in their blood." That whole family needs medication and therapy. Shock therapy, preferably. Lots of it.

Bringing him back was utter bull****. Psych testing etc that everyone goes through and he passed? Favorite? I watch Real World/Road Rules Challenge for these antics, not Survivor.

It was entertaining.

RW/RR Challenge

Really agree on the psychological testing of "Lil Hantz" - Russell was a bully and a manipulator, and one hell of an egomaniac, but I never thought he was going to freak out and go insane.

The Probst massaging Hantz's shoulders gif should be making the rounds shortly.

Challenge construction crew: "just reuse it..."
Producers: "no the audience has already seen it.. that would be cheesey"
Challenge construction crew: "How about we just paint the boxes a different color?"
Producers: "No"
Challenge construction crew: "F you Phillip, you little b**ch"

What would be awesome is if the reunion show has a Jerry Springer-esq brawl on it. Jeff will have bouncers in black sitting right up front just in case.

I still wonder if any if the production crew watched when Brandon was on Big Brother.

Phillip's comments about his kids were over the line, but damn, to say he's got got some issues is an understatement.

I thought it was a different Hantz that was on BB ... a Willie Hantz or something like that.

that was one of the more entertaining episodes in recent memory...loved it

Can we say "Little Man's Complex"....Jesus Christ....what a jealous little b*tch.

I didnt think it was over the line at all. How long can any human sit there and let someone continually threaten them?

I thought Phillip showed great restraint throughout the whole incident.

Phillip manipulated that rage.

I hope Phillip is next

Im glad Brandon exposed him for being an idiot and let him know how the tribe really felt. Im also glad he let Phillip know that he was carried to the final 3 by Rob.

Its time for CBS to let the Hanz family stay in East Texas for a few years

I agree, Phillip showed great restraint.

As Brandon walked off, I would have said, "Say hi to your kids for me."

JEFF PROBST: Regardless whether you are a new player or a returning player, every contestant on Survivor undergoes an evaluation from our show psychologist each time they play. We never let anybody on the show who can’t pass the psych test. Brandon passed. He was also great in our interviews before the show began. We were actually very excited because he had a new approach to the game. He said he wasn’t going to be as emotionally reactive and felt that after playing once he was better prepared for the 39 day adventure. We felt Brandon had the potential for a true underdog story of a young man who was overwhelmed the first time he played and was seeking redemption.

Cmon Probst, we aren't idiots.

There is a good chance a CBS casting exec is living in Dayton or Beaumont trying to dig up another cousin or nephew or niece.

Where did the tribe say they feel that way outside of Eric?????

Is that how the tribe feels or how Brandon feels?

Brandon sounded like a 14 year old when he was like "Nobody likes you....and you suck"

All because he's jealous that Phillip is the one winning challenges for them????

What a loser.


From where Im sitting in my living room Phillip has been the 1st half MVP for the favorites tribe.

What happens if Phillip wins the whole game? I doubt it happens....but if it does...talk about a rewrite of his legacy.

Yeah, Philip's athletic abilities have been kinda awesome so far. The guy is 54 years old and bore that weight like a maniac.
