host Jeff Probst breaks down that crazy Tribal
Council

By

Dalton Ross
Each
week, host Jeff Probst will answer a few
questions about the latest episode of Survivor: Edge of
Extinction.ENTERTAINMENT
WEEKLY: Okay, we've been seeing "live" Tribals for a
few seasons now, but nothing like this. There's so much
that happened here that I don't even really know where to
begin or end, so why don't you just take us through your
observations as all this insanity was happening around
you.
JEFF
PROBST: I can never sense when a Tribal is going to
become "live." It typically happens in an instant. In
this case I think a lot of factors were in play. Julie was
wearing down emotionally, mostly because she doesn't like
lying to others and she certainly doesn't like others
lying to her. And I think it's pretty clear that she was
the accelerant for Tribal taking a turn. But everybody is
exhausted. So why her and not someone else? Let's dig a
little deeper, and I hope that what I'm about to write
does not offend anyone. I hope my armchair psychological
assessment is taken at face value because I only mean it as
a way to contrast personality types.

If
you contrast Julie and Aurora you get a very clear
illustration of one reason Survivor is compelling and
maybe some further insight into why a Tribal can suddenly go
"live" when a moment earlier it seemed fine. Julie is a
wife and a mom with kids. She is missing them. She is
exhausted and wears her emotions on her sleeve. So she is
not as stable as she was on day one. This isn't a surprise
to the other players, nor to Julie. It's just part of her
makeup. Aurora, on the other hand, comes from a very
different world. She comes from the foster care system. She
has been on her own most of her life. She is a very strong
woman who by necessity has learned to rely on herself to get
through most things in life. As a result, her emotions are
not as easily visible because she can't allow them to be.
Nothing is going to break her.

So, a
blindside that betrays Aurora is simply more information she
can use to determine who to trust and who not to trust. But
a blindside that betrays Julie is received differently and
can be the tipping point that ignites a major turning point
in her gameplay. That's why Tribal is so unpredictable.
It's not apples for apples. And once Tribal turns, watch
out. It's crisis time, and now everybody is on high alert.
You saw it unfold the same way I did: one player at a
time.First,
Julia tries to cover with Wentworth assuring her that
they're "still good." Then Devens reads into that
statement and sees an opportunity to push the story in a new
direction. Now here comes Aurora with her more measured
approach trying to stabilize the conversation and stop the
bleeding. But Devens, David and Wardog jump on it. Now Julia
senses the story starting to slip away and she does her
best to squelch it by laughing at the entire notion.
"You're such a passenger, Rick."

Every
player has their own approach to the game, and that approach
traces back to how they behave in life and especially in
crisis. And the reason a situation like this becomes so
dangerous is that the moment any desperate player can create
real uncertainty… there are other smart players who will
use that uncertainty to create more opportunity. By this
point Tribal was off and running, and Julie was drowning in
a growing ocean of uncertainty. It was a master class in
very good Survivor
players seizing a moment to ensure
that this tribal became very
live, because they knew that within the chaos there was
opportunity.

Who
was the key cog in this vote to get Julia out? Was it Devens
for bringing up the idea? The Wardog for aggressively
pursuing Ron and Julie to make it happen? Or was it Julie
that ultimately pulled the trigger by flat-out refusing to
work with the Kama people that betrayed her at the last
vote?

I honestly don't know the answer to
that question. I've watched that Tribal a few times, and I
find something new every time. It's like watching a social
car crash in slow motion. You see every step as it unfolds,
but you can't really pinpoint which moment was the one
that sealed the deal. I would guess that ultimately Julie
had the say because the Lesu group knew she was the most
emotional and the owner of the "live Tribal," and in a
case like that you just want to go with momentum and get to
the vote as fast as you can.

As
for Julia as a player, I think she was probably seen as a
very big threat. She's a very smart person with a sharp
tongue, and that's a dangerous combo. She can tie you up
in circles if you get into an argument. The risk, however,
is if that same sharp tongue angers the wrong person and
Tribal goes live, you could be the one whose torch is
snuffed.One
of my favorite scenes of the season was dinnertime back at
camp before Tribal where you all just played the awkward
silence for longer than I have ever seen before on this
show. But while nothing was "happening" in that scene, I
feel like in a weird way that spoke more about Survivor
than a hundred different strategy sessions. How much of this
game is just picking up on body language clues and changes
in mood?

It's huge. Players talk about it all
the time. They notice when the conversation they're used
to having with a player suddenly changes. Or when a player
returns to camp and suddenly things get quiet. Body language
is a big one, as some people truly struggle with deception
and they give it away. And that one great intangible…
energy. It's that feeling when you are talking to someone
and you just sense something is off. You can't pinpoint
it, but you just know. You are certain: Something
is different.

But
without evidence you often fool yourself into believing that
you're just "overthinking it" and that "everything
is fine." I think that's ultimately what players mean
when they refer to their gut. Remember mood rings? They were
supposed to tell you your mood by changing color. They were
just a funny gimmick, but it's the same idea: A change in
your body chemistry is alerting you that something is wrong.
Great players have a better sense of these types of
things.Things
are heating up and I'm not sure I know where anyone
stands. What can you tell us about next week?

Two people going home. Uh-oh.Also
