Jeff Probst cannot get enough of "Survivor" -- and likewise, the show cannot get enough of him. The popular host confirmed the news via his Twitter on Tuesday that he would be coming back for another two installments of the popular reality franchise:
"Survivor fans: I'm jazzed and wanted to share with you guys first -I'll be back snuffing torches for two more seasons (21&22) of Survivor....thanks for the love. We would not still be on the air after 10 years without loyal viewers. You survivor fans are in a league of your own."
The news ends some speculation that Jeff would call it quits following "Heroes vs. Villains," since it (after all) would mark a return for many of the game's best players. However, the show still remains a ratings success and there are many more ideas for future installments out there. For example, Jeff recently talked about a "what if?" season where people eliminated early or due to injury could return to the game. (For a list of my picks for this season, check back within the next 24 hours.)
Are you happy to see Jeff back on board? Feel free to share your thoughts and stay tuned for more news.
