Probst Gets revenge!

by Lessa

This time, Jeff Probst gives the show intro, Survivor style! He tells of the challenges that Rachael has put him through before, and then wheels out Rachael locked into a bamboo cage! He gives her a challenge - she has bamboo sticks she has to tape together, find the key on the stump and pull it back in order to get free - and she has until the grilled cheese Sammie is done to free herself. If she doesn’t - everyone will know that America’s Favorite Cook burnt the sandwich! He agrees to flip it for her, and she’s playing for Oral B Triumph toothbrush - because a toothbrush is the number one luxury on Survivor.

She survives the challenge, with a little 5 second help from an audience member to get the key on her stick. There was a lot of laughter, and good natured trash talk by Mr. Dimples himself. (Ya’ll know I’m a Survivor Fan, right? Right…)

They call a truce, of course, and talk a bit about the show. He admits to the fact that he HAS finally learned to make fire with flint and machete, but it’s not easy at all. He used to try the challenges, but they made him quit trying all of them because he’s the only host they have and can’t be breaking anything!

They talk about Palau, where they dive and fish a lot. You can catch your fish, and then take it to a nearby restaurant where they cook it up for you in about 20 minutes. His brothers were in Palau with him -one works on the show, the other visited, and he shared pictures of some of the under water exploration they did.

When asked why on earth people would do Survivor TWICE, he said that once people get home they realize they did something they never thought they could do - caught fish, built shelter, survived. It’s a live changing experience for a lot of people in a lot of ways - so Survivors always want to do it again. (Crazy buggers!) He even says they got what they deserved having Johnny Fairplay back on the show - but he’s over it, and JFP now.

Time for an instant Human Lab - the Bra edition with Gretchen. Three different breakthrough bras are tried by audience members - one enhances cleavage, another eliminates back fat, and the third is the perfect solution for full-busted women wearing backless dresses. Hit the giveaway button to win a set of your own, the Chic Shaper, The Backless Breakthrough, and Spanks Bra-llelujah.

Then we meet a viewer who has everything Orange, and has started a Rachael Ray club, where they’re throwing a potluck. He gets the first of today’s February Favorite - an orange suitcase on wheels - hit up the giveaway button for one the chance at of your own!

Keeping up with the orange theme - what’s for dinner? BBQ Courbon Orange Chicken Skillet with Cornbread Topper.
