On the recent episode of Survivor Cook Islands Jeff Probst became more involved in the game than usual.  At tribal Council Jeff Probst usually ask question to the tribe members in order to spark controversy and inform any jury members of what is happening on the island.

Last nights show, Day 36 at tribal council Jeff Probst crossed the line.  Jonathan Penner was voted off survivor cook island last week and as a final request, he wished the return of his hat.  Yul Kwon in a magnamious gesture retrieved the hat and placed it on the jury seats prior to the Jury’s arrival. At this point no credit was aligned toward Yul for this gesture. It was simply returned and nothing was to be said.

Jeff Probst on the other hand as soon as the jury was seated, made a big deal about Yul Kwon bringing back the hat. He questioned Yul’s motives, asked the other tribe members if they were aware of this action and made it appear Yul was playing for votes.

Yul on the other hand didn’t help his cause, by admitting it was just a simple gesture. Yul could have easily said, “Jeff, I placed it there and took no credit for it. YOU are the one who made this into a big deal, and informed Jonathan Penner and the Jury that I returned the hat.”  No but Yul wasn’t thinking quick enough, and was caught in an awkward situation trying to a explain his motives and though process.

Basically Jeff Probst inserted himself into the game and attempted to discredit Yul.  Shame on you Jeff.
