- Jeff Probst: (On injuries sustained during the filming of Survivor) [During] Survivor: Borneo, I was stung in the nether regions by a jellyfish. During Survivor: Australia I peed on an electric fence and it sent a shock back to the point of origin. I also got stung by a scorpion. He crawled right up my boot and planted one on my Achilles' heel.

- Jeff Probst: (On having been associated with Survivor) In the grand scheme of things, professionally it's given me huge awareness with the industry and the public, which only translates into a longer career and more money if you don't screw it up.

- Jeff Probst: I don't think Survivor is endless. I do think you will reach a point where you either say, This is the game as you know it and we are going to play it again, or you have to consider making some radical changes.
