I think that was also the season where he chewed out a guy for using a nickname (that no one ever used) on a TC vote instead of putting a name.

Is Jeff blogging anywhere this year? I don’t see them on [EW.com](http://EW.com) or on his website. ☹

He’s tweeting during the show, but I don’t know about the blog.

A statement that would have been completely incomprehensible just a few years ago. 🙂

Yeah, dunno why the link isn’t more visible on the EW site; I got [there](http://insidetv.ew.com/2011/09/29/jeff-probst-episode-3-survivor-south-pacific/)via a tweet, but I don’t remember if it was Jeff’s or Dalton Ross’s.

Not a blog per se, but his commentary.

I nominate that guy, who thought being on Survivor was a great way to stop smoking. It was the season they had them separated by age.

I nominate the woman who buried the remains of the chicken and decorated its grave.

Okay, I think that was Jane, from Nicaragua. There was also Jan, back in Thailand, who buried a dead baby bat.

Survivor: Special Teams would have to include Shambo.

Shane Powers from Survivor: Panama.

I propose renaming the Special Team edition to Survivor: That Guy.
