'Survivor: Blood vs. Water' Cast: Colton Cumbie Quitting the Game in Episode 3? [VIDEO]
Controversial Survivor: Blood vs. Water contestant Colton Cumbie may be quitting the game in the next episode of the show.
The preview for the upcoming third episode of Survivor: Blood vs. Water features host Jeff Probst asking Cumbie if he wants to quit the game. The controversial player replies, "I don't care what y'all say," and jumps into the lap of fiancée Caleb Bankston.
Cumbie participated in Survivor: One World and received hate from fans due to his hateful and racist comments towards minority castaways. He came back for this fall's Blood vs. Water edition, in which 10 former castaways came back to compete with one of their loved ones.
Probst told Entertainment Weekly in a recent interview that he might not have wanted Cumbie on this season if he had it his way.
"Truthfully, I could have done the season without him but that's often the case when it comes to casting," Probst revealed. "We don't all always agree on who should be on the show. But as his personality began to emerge in these early days it did feel very familiar to the last time he played and began to confirm for me what I felt the first time he played - which is he engineered his own quit."
Cumbie had to be medically evacuated from the game on Survivor: One World due to a gastro-intestinal disease.
"It's just my personal observation and Colton would certainly tell a different story," Probst continued. "But I think there is a consistency to Colton that is hard to deny."
Probst would not reveal if Cumbie removes himself from the game in episode 3, but admitted that he is very compelling to watch.
Episode 3 of Survivor: Blood vs. Water airs Wednesday, Oct. 2 at 8 p.m. on CBS.
