There is virtually no incentive to kill it at the moment.

I agree. And it seems to be working for them to just renew for 1 year (2 seasons) at a time. -- nm - Jim Mar 20, 11:37 24
- What I do think will happen is that they get rid of Probst at some point to create new interest. -- nm - David Mar 20, 11:39 1
  - yeah, and this too. I think probst retiring would get a lot of talk about the show started again. - Moray Gerbson Mar 20, 11:41
- my question really is whether it's time for probst to go. and who should replace him? - Moray Gerbson Mar 20, 11:39 21
  - Ryan Seacrest! -- nm - decline Mar 20, 11:40
  - To you and David...I think it is time for Probst to go. Who could replace him, I have no idea. Maybe an unknown. Or a host from some other show. - Jim Mar 20, 11:40 19
    - oh, adam would be good, I think. what about a former player? too biasing? cochran? malcolm? rob's not articulate enough. aras? not dynamic enough. -- nm - Moray Gerbson Mar 20, 11:42 5
      - I like Malcolm a lot...but I think he wants to be center of attention and Probst has already gone too far in that direction. Cesternino would be good - Jim Mar 20, 11:48
      - cesternino would be great, actually. -- nm - Moray Gerbson Mar 20, 11:43 2
        
        I don't know that I really want to see more of him, but Jonathan Penner -- nm - Roger More Mar 20, 11:44 1
        
        I don't think penner is high energy enough. I *love* him, but I want my host to be more... something. -- nm - Moray Gerbson Mar 20, 11:46
      - what about a different player each season? is that gimmicky? -- nm - Moray Gerbson Mar 20, 11:42
    - It should be an established player who isn't afraid to tell people they're being stupid. -- nm - David Mar 20, 11:41 12
      - I would pay good money to see Sandra Diaz-Twine host a season -- nm - Roger More Mar 20, 11:47 6
        
        Ya know, Parvati hosts the aftershow at CBS.com...any reason she couldn't do it? -- nm - Jim Mar 20, 11:47 5
        
        I think parv looks really uncomfortable on camera when she's even semi-scripted. wooden. she'd be a crapshoot. -- nm - Moray Gerbson Mar 20, 11:49
        
        I think Parvati is what Poison Ivy is like as a real person. -- nm - David Mar 20, 11:48 3
        
        In all seriousness, if they do make a move like that. I would think their short list would have 2 names on it. Mariano and Donaldson. - Jim Mar 20, 11:50 2
        
        I'd pay money to see corinne host. -- nm - Moray Gerbson Mar 20, 11:52 1
        
        That'd be awesome! -- nm - Jim Mar 20, 11:58
      - So, Donaldson? Penner? -- nm - Jim Mar 20, 11:44 3
        
        Tyson? lol -- nm - Jim Mar 20, 11:45 2
        
        laughing. hatch might be great actually. (I think it can't be a chick. and I think they would always have to wear blue shirts as an hommage.) -- nm - Moray Gerbson Mar 20, 11:46
        
        Rupert? -- nm - Roger More Mar 20, 11:46
      - if you insist -- nm - Boston Rob Mar 20, 11:42
