Good news about the renewal, but it sounds to me that the 20th season will most likely be the final edition.

Why would you say that? The show is still doing good in ratings and it's still cheap to produce. The only issue may be that Jeff wants out but he's certainly replacable. Maybe they're running out of challenge ideas and places to send these people? Even if thats the case, I don't think anyone would mind if they recycled some of the settings and reused some challenges from earlier seasons.

All they need are people willing to be contestants and an audience to watch, both of which they have plenty of, so there's no way it will end after next year.
As for Probst being "replaceable", do you really think that? He loves this job (who wouldn't) and is way more involved in the production than Burnett. Probst is Survivor, so it's funny to say he is replaceable.
On a side note...Goat3001: Don't you have a separate thread for your game that you can just update and bump rather than putting it here? Not a big deal, but I thought I saw a separate thread.

and yes there is another thread for the contest. I just think it makes more sense to have the list in the weekly threads, that way there aren't two Survivor threads floating around. If anyone would rather me bump that thread every week, instead, I'll do that. Maybe the contest will get more discussion that way.

I'd sure be disappointed if Jeff left. I think he's a great host for the show. And I know he's deeply involved in production as well. But it's not like they would have to cancel the show if he chose to leave. They can find another host. Of course it's just speculation, I don't think he'd want to leave he has the best job on TV.

I was hoping Jerry would make it thru this TC so he would have time to get better. He seemed like a very likable person.

What was interesting was that Tyson voted out Jerry, but his reaction made it seem like he was surprised, but if Coach is smart, he can count who voted for Erinn, and there were only 2 votes against her. They didn't show Brendan's vote at the end during Jerry's final words, so that was weird.

Wasn't Jerry's vote against Erinn the only one?
And it was either the editing or Tyson & Coach are a bunch of pussies for voting Jerry out after saying they wouldn't do that.

Editing I'm sure.
Everyone except Jerry voted for Jerry, and I was surprised he didn't vote for himself tbh

And couldn't agree more with the needless comments... so-so is getting destroyed in this challenge, so-so needs to get their act together....thank you Captain Obvious!
As for this week - they should have gotten rid of 'coach'... he's just one of those guys with a lot of sound and fury, signifying nothing.

Or contestants he'll want to "date" after the show is over. 
Talk about "injecting himself into the game"!
Jeff has become so closely identified with the show that it would undoubtedly have an effect if he left, but I agree with the posters who say that he says too much at TB (what you call "creating drama"). If viewers have been watching closely, they are well aware of what has been going on behind the scenes...much of the fun of Survivor is trying to figure out exactly how much of the double-dealing/back-stabbing the contestants are aware of before they vote. Jeff's statements appear to be aimed at bringing hidden things out at the Council (or reminding the contestants who is the likely target, etc.). If he just asked open-ended "innocent" type of questions that probe at strategies & try to get contestants to slip up & reveal too much, that wouldn't be so bad. It's when he starts pointing out certain things that might swing an undecided voter or get them wondering about supposed 'guaranteed' alliances that I think he goes too far. Didn't notice him doing that until the last few seasons.
One thought I had recently is that Probst probably mutters in his sleep, "C'mon in, guys...wanna know what you're playing for?...Worth it?...Wins reward!...I got nothin' for ya".
BTW...thought last night's episode was kinda lackluster, as it usually is when a contestant has been sick & making noises like he/she is "finished". Jerry said he wanted to say, but his eyes & body language said differently. I think he was kinda relieved to be voted off. Seems like a nice guy who wasn't physically up to the challenge. It's happened to far younger contestants (even athletes) whose stomachs just couldn't adapt to the environment. Anyway, you know that not too much is going on when the producers have to feature "Coach" for the second time in a row.
