Out of This Trilogy....

Just as the question says, who just can't be replaced

[Spider2024]

It's absolutely Jeff. He pretty much IS Survivor, he's part of the feel, he's basically the wallpaper. Survivor hosted by anyone else would not feel the same. He's the Pat Sajak of tropical wilderness-based reality competition TV.

[Push R Truth]

Yeah it feels like Jeff IS the show.

Julie doesn’t do very much on Big Brother. A little voiceover work, a question or two at the vote out, and a two minute interview after the ejection. Anybody could do that.

Phil is much the same. He sends contestants off in the morning and welcomes them in at night but the rest is all voiceover work.

Jeff is the resident god on Survivor. He interacts with the contestants on a regular basis. He sets the rules and punishes those who break them. He bestows gifts on those he seems worthy. He is a cheerleader and a therapist and presides as judge at tribal council. He is cheerful and optimistic through blistering heat and driving rains. Nobody could do it better.

Probst i think is the only one who is also involved in production and casting. Burnett more or less gave him custody and it's his baby.
