Jeff Probst on Survivor Guatemala

Saturday, August 13, 2005

Jeff Probst has a video commentary on the cast members of Survivor Guatemala. Here is a transcript of the video:

Amy O'Hara: seems to be a hard worker. Certainly has the job that has put her in social situations where she's had to deal with alot of different people. That could be a skill that really serves her well. Her rough edges are the things that could really get her in trouble out here.

Judd Sergeant is a guy we liked the second he walked in the door. He's this big jovial personality. A doorman from New York city. The big question with Judd is going to be, can he hack it.

Brooke Struck is one that I'm not sure which way she is going to go. She seems like she's very bright. Could be a nice quiet leader or Brooke could go the other way and sort of fade away.

Blake Towsley appears on paper to be a guy's guy. Handsome guy, girls like him. That can work for you or against you.

Brianna Valera, I think Brianna has a reason to be out here. It's not about adventure and it's not about money. It's about proving something to herself. I always love those stories.

Brandon Bellinger is from my part of the world, Kansas. He comes off as "hey, I just want to have fun". I don't know if I'm buying that.

Danni Boatwright is someone that I think people are probably going to get behind. She's in great shape. She's tall and she's got a competition background.

Margaret Bobonich is a nurse, a caregiver. She's also a mother, she's raised a family and dealt with those dynamics and she's athletic. Those are 3 big qualities and I think Margaret could do really well in this game.

Cindy Hall is a wild card in this sense...she works with animals, she's out in nature alot. It seems like the question for Cindy is going to be...what happens when the conflict comes.

Gary Hogeboom is a favorite in this sense...he's played at the highest level. Played in the NFL and played in the quarterback spot, the lead spot, where you lead a team. And that is what Survivor is like. You're leading a tribe of people in big time moments. But the thing with Gary is, does anybody know who he is.

Rafe Judkins is one of my favorites. Love this guy. Loved him when he walked in the room. Great guy, funny, got a lot of levels to him. From talking to him you can tell that he's a pretty good judge of character. He can sense out who somebody is like, who might be somebody wise to hook up with.

Jim Lynch is a former fire captain. When you've been in a position of power it can work a couple of ways. In Jim's case I think it works in a way that power corrupts.

Morgan McDevitt is somebody who my impression of was...hmm, I don't know, a magician's assistant, a waitress or whatever she was, for the Survivor game, I'm not sure she's going to have it. The more I'm around Morgan the more I'm starting to think, this girl has alot more than I saw at first glance.

Lydia Morales, the fishmonger. I'm not going to lie. I don't think Lydia is going to last long. I think it's because she's not built for this game. This is so tough out here. It's sooo hot. The challenges are so physical. She's in jeans. For crying out loud.

Jamie Newton, his fate rests with himself and his attitude. Jamie can be a lippy, cocky pain the ass. Or he can be a strong competitor and funny and respectful. Time will tell which Jamie comes out.
