Being Jeff Probstovich – Survivor: The Amazon, Episode 4: Hallelujah, Oh Glory, Hallelujah, Amen!

Probstovich: You had some issues with having the immunity idol in your camp. What was the scariest thing about having the graven image of a pagan idol in your midst?

JoAnna: I came to represent the person I am and the faith I had, and the Bible says that you do not covet idols.

Probstovich: What if we had called it by another name, like the "immunity buddy," for instance?

JoAnna: Now that would have worked for me.

Probstovich: Survivor is a game of politics and at some point, you have to rely on alliances. What kept you from making alliances with more people out there?

JoAnna: Some of the people in the tribe didn't have the same standards and philosophies about the game that I had. I came to survive. I came to represent. I came to do what I did.

Probstovich: 'Do what you did?' You mean, get voted off fourth? Did anyone meet your standards?

JoAnna: I only saw about one-and-a-half other people who shared the kind of standards I had. In our tribe, Jeanne met those standards. Of course, so does Jesus Christ, but since he's a man, he wouldn't have been allowed our tribe.

Probstovich: I’d have to believe that Jesus would finish higher than twelfth place if He were on Survivor, and probably would have caught a lot more fish. But, Jeanne, I don't know about her.

JoAnna: Jeff, don't you blaspheme in here!

Probstovich: Alright, alright. So, if you had another chance to play Survivor, would you make an alliance with more folks the second time around?

JoAnna: Considering the types of individuals, I'd be careful about forming alliances until I was sure the people shared the same philosophies that I did.

Probstovich: Who was the scariest individual you encountered during your time in the Amazon?

JoAnna: I only really met him at that reward challenge, but, Roger.

Probstovich: Why?

JoAnna: He smelled like spoiled vinegar.

Probstovich: Anything else you'd like to say before you go?

JoAnna: Jeff, I get to go home, eat good food, and sleep in a real bed, while the rest of Jaburu sleeps in the rain and eats moldy manioc flour, with all kinds of bugs and critters – not to mention Heidi and Jenna – creeping all over them.

Probstovich: Kind of makes your skin crawl. Jenna, Heidi... ick!

JoAnna: Sometimes when you lose you really win. Hallelujah, Oh Glory, Hallelujah, Amen!!

Probstovich: Any shout-outs?

JoAnna: To God be the Glory! All the time.

Probstovich: Thank you, JoAnna. It's time to go.

She turned and headed into the darkened jungle and out of the game forever. And my fifteen minutes as Jeff Probst was up for another week, so it was time for me to go too.

I'll be back in time for another Tribal Council. Who'll be voted out next?

I'm being Jeff Probstovich.
