'Survivor' 2015 Cast: Jeff Probst Shares Mixed Emotions On Jeremy & Stephen's Big Move [VIDEO]
Survivor host Jeff Probst has mixed feelings about Jeremy Collins and Stephen Fishbach's latest game move.
Is 'Survivor's Stephen Fishbach Trapped In A 'Terrible Nightmare?'
Stephen orchestrated a plan to break up the Joe Anglim-Kelly Wiglesworth dynamic by utilizing the "Witches" a.k.a. Abi-Maria Gomes, Ciera Eastin and Kelley Wentworth. After Joe won Immunity (for the third time in a row), Stephen went to Jeremy and Spencer Bledsoe to flip the vote on Kelly. While Jeremy showed signs of trepidation, he and Spencer wound up going with the plan anyway, and Kelly was blindsided.
Probst spoke with Entertainment Weekly about liking the move for Jeremy but feeling unsure about the move for Stephen.

"I think Fishbach is so consumed with making a move that it has robbed him of his greatest strength, which is to just sit back and evaluate and then make his best move based on the assumption that everybody else is making their best move," Probst said. "He's a very smart guy, but thus far he can't see the forest for the trees. Maybe this will wake him up."
Moving on to Jeremy, the host said, "I totally understand Jeremy's move because he trusts Stephen, and this season especially, the premium on trust is at an all time high. Jeremy is playing a very sophisticated long game."
He went on to explain that there is a "95 percent chance" you will lose Survivor considering there is only one winner, and you ultimately have to "play to WIN."
It remains to be seen how the ramifications of this move will impact the game next week. Jeremy, Stephen and Spencer blindsided Joe, Keith Nale, Kimmi Kappenberg and Tasha Fox with this move and it's possible those four might turn on the guys. It's also possible that the status quo will return and the big alliance will proceed to pick off Abi-Maria, Ciera and Kelley. But in a season as crazy as this, a "Pagonging" just doesn't seem likely anymore.
Survivor: Cambodia - Second Chance airs Wednesdays at 8 p.m. ET/PT on CBS.
