Greater than every other host within the enterprise, Jeff Probst is out within the components on Survivor. The dude has been knocked down by waves, face-planted whereas calling challenges, and carried out Tribal Council in each downpours and unbearable warmth. However on the finish of every day, the Hostmaster Normal — in contrast to the gamers — will get to retire again to his beachfront property and take a bathe. Probst is ready to use some some cleaning soap, perhaps shampoo, maybe sing somewhat “Rubber Ducky.” Who’s to say! He additionally then will get to use deodorant. Cologne, if he’s feeling fancy.

I level all this out not as a result of I’ve all of the sudden change into mildly obsessive about Probst’s showering routine. (Creepy.) No, I level it out because of a query posed on the most recent episode of the On Fire With Jeff Probst podcast by fan Nicole: “My burning query is, when gamers ask for a hug and also you're taking the necklace off of them, do you maintain your breath so that you don't should scent them?”

First off, A+++ effort from Nicole. Why ask about all of the difficult voting and tie-breakers now we have seen already on Survivor 48 when you may ask about penetrating physique odor? I’m right here for it! So, Probst, do you maintain your breath when stepping into shut proximity of gamers who’ve been stinking up the joint for as much as 26 days?

However make no mistake, the host is just not by any means saying the contestants do not stink. “They scent. It's a part of the world."

To that, previously smelly Survivor 47 champion and present On Hearth cohost Rachel Lamont chimes in: “Sorry, Jeff.”

“Yeah, you understand what it’s, Rachel?” Probst continues. “It's the scent. We describe it as a mixture of campfire, which is form of good, after which an outdated fitness center locker that hasn't been opened in months, and that's not fairly as good. So it turns into a form of pungent, however very recognizable, eau of Survivor.”

And maybe one that can ultimately be on the market. Says Lamont: “I feel you must make a candle and put that within the CBS store, Jeff.”
