I'm a huge Survivor fan, watched every episode of every season.
There's a ton of message boards that follow the show and many of them are now claiming the host, Jeff Probst, is in talks with CBS to retire. He was furious about their settlment with Trump. Probst of course has stuff in common with Trump, the same guy who created Survivor, created the Apprentice, but it's been clear all along Probst does NOT agree with Trumps politics.
But Survivor is still the biggest hit show CBS has by a mile, any show that's put on before or after Survivor sees a jump in ratings because of Survivor. Probst is a HUGE part of that he's extremely popular. IF he retires CBS is going to regret it
