Yet another reason to hate Jeff Probst
S. Laurin
became
famous and is now dating a model. This is so disgusting and pathetic.
Although he is the king of dorkdom on Survivor, I thought he must have
some sense about him since he wrote and directed what is by most
accounts a decent film. I sort of liked his quirky corniness on the
show, but this act illustrates how shallow he really is. I have
nothing against models, and I think people are often unkind to them by
accusing them of being dumb, etc. This is about his character. He
will get what he deserves when he is a washed-up game show host who
may have gotten laid by a model or two, but threw away a real
relationship with someone who truly cared about him, not his
pseudo-fame.

Know what pisses me of? I heard he makes his girlfriends wear khaki panties
and lick whipped cream off autographed photos of Jerri. That type of behavior
is out of line.

Well, first of all, this is a private issue between Jeff and his wife, and
it is really presumptuous of any outside party to think they know enough to
comment on it. More importantly, no one really knows what goes on between a
husband and a wife, and unless you are one of the parties involved or a
close friend, you don't know what other factors may have contributed to the
break-up, if the breakup even really happened. Many celebrities go through
divorces after they become famous, and it is not always a direct result of
their fame. For all we know, Jeff and his wife may have been having
problems before he became famous and the breakup would have happened anyway.
We just don't know, and I don't think it is fair to Jeff or his wife to be
speculating....

Jeff Probst was famous way before he was divorced.
Do you believe everything you read?
By most accounts, the marriage dissolved because he was away so much
working on Survivor. Makes sense...

ask me. I heard that Jeffy was puttin it to Rudy from #1. Guess Dick Hatch
wasn't the only poohstabber on the island after all.
Now what can we do about getting this show off the air?

Fair enough, RM, but behavior after the divorce also emphasizes what
the real issue(s)were. Fucking chicks young enough to be his daughter
is so cliche and revealing that it makes it obvious the motivations
behind someone pulling away from his spouse as soon as he gains
opportunity to date Colby's leftovers.
No, thank God, I'm not the ex Mrs. Probst!
S. Laurin
Fucking chicks young enough to be his daughter is very revealing (not
to mention cliche)as to what his "real" issues in the marriage were.
To purposefully distance yourself from your spouse emotionally and
physically so that you can have trashly flings with Colby Donaldson's
leftovers is pathetic, no matter how rationally you try to look at it.
NO, I'm not his ex-wife, and I would never say anything that I feel
would be unfair to her.

Jeff's been doing the dimple dance with Colby's ex-boyfriends?

So because you read/heard that JP was doing this you are condemning him? How do
you know his wife didn't cast HIM aside? How do you know he didn't genuinely fall
in love with the model? And do you know for a FACT that the model is a Colby Cast
Off? You shouldn't assume you know what's going on, based on something you read.
You just don't know what went on in their relationship, unless you were there. If
you want to say stuff about him in regards to his job I think that's fair game.
To dissect him because he's divorced and is with a younger woman, it's just wrong.
He isn't the first guy to date a younger woman, won't be the last.
Personally, I wouldn't mind a younger guy right about now, LOL.

Sweety, you're quite wrong here. He left Shelley in September 2000
after Survivor I aired that summer. He found fame, got a sweet 5 year
CBS contract and ditched his wife. He gave some psycho-babble excuse
about growing beyond her or being unavailable for her with all of his
fame. He is a dick!!

So you are saying you know him? You know his ex-wife? Personally? Or just what
you've read in the gossip columns?

Perhaps - but I have to think that it would have to take an incredibly
strong relationship to spend the amount of time away from home (42+
days every six months) his present job requires. Given Jeff's working
conditions, small disagreements become REALLY BIG DEALS when he's
away. It's not like he's making the money of a pro athlete or anything
(uh - I'm not talking about a certain 'pro soccer player' here you
understand...)

Some speculations: (1) you're divorced, (2) you behaved badly and rationalize
it. Are we close?

Wrong on both counts. I have been happily married for over 20 years. Only

It's a bit of a stretch to compare Jeff Probst to Osama bin Laden. Osama
bin Laden has admitted to being a terrorist and also been identified as such
by several national governments and law enforcement agencies. He is
responsible for the deaths of literally thousands of innocent people and is
currently under indictment. The speculation about Jeff Probst comes pretty
much from gossip columnists, and as far as I know, he has not been accused,
indicted or convicted of any crime. It's not a really smart comparison...

Well, Pumpkin, you sound like you know "Shelley" well.
But the truth is, many people knew who Jeff Probst was long before
Survivor. He was, after all, the host of Rock and Roll Jeopardy. I think
that counts as being famous. Notice, he didn't get divorced when he was
regularly on VH-1, however, he did after going away for months to a
tropical island. As is clear, it had nothing to do with fame, rather a
lot to do with leaving home for a long time.

Geeet oouuutt! Really? Sources...???
S. Laurin
I do know Shelley. And Jeff Probst himself would admit that he was
not "famous" before "Survivor." In fact, he was out of work (R &R
Jeopardy films all episodes in May only) for several months (except
for that small hosting job) due to his "not having a name in the
business." His words. During this time, Shelley was tremendously
supportive in all ways. When he landed Survivor and had to be away,
same thing. After it became a success -- bye, bye Shelley.
S. Laurin
wedding anniversary. Nice.

No idea where IMDB gets their info. I thought someone here might be

What losers you two must be. Comparing a gameshow host to a pyschotic
terrorist. And your point is...what? Why would you care about the
personal life of a silly game show host? Focus on your own marriage or
relationship before commenting on others.
abrahammy
Jeff Probst has never killed anybody, although he's tortured a few dozen
Survivor contestants. Hardly in the same league.

Well, if you know Shelley, then your motivation and attack towards Jeff
makes sense. However, this type of thing happens all the time with couples
all over the world, not just ones that become famous. The last time I
checked, 50.4% of all married couples get divorced and I don't think
celebrities, or people who have 'made it', make up 90% of that number.

Survivor 1, and due to my introverted self have preferred to not post.
But this particular post has bothered me terribly. I have no clue
who S. Laurin is, but I do, in fact, know Shelley Wright and Jeff
Probst. I can tell you, IN FACT, that Jeff Probst 1. is a kind and
decent human being, 2. still loves and cares for Shelley very much, 3.
still sees his wife very often, 4. is not, nor has ever, dated Jerri
Manthey, 5.might have dated some people since the divorce but no one
seriously, 6. will more than likely reunite with Shelley. (okay, the
last one is speculation on the part of those of us who know and love
the couple.
People, enjoy Survivor. It is a fun show designed for entertainment
purposes. Make fun of it as much as you like. Make fun of Jeff's
"tribal language" as much as you like (I do, and I think the guy is a
great person!), but stay away from this kind of gossip because it is
capable of hurting those involved. I think perhaps (just a theory, I
really have no clue) that S. Laurin is a person who perhaps has had
personal pain invoked on him or her from someone who acted as he or
she is alleging Jeff did (which I can tell you as fact he DID NOT!)
The other option is that the original poster just wanted to start a
nasty rumor.

It's like that and a lot of people are like that. Besides, when
you're young and popular and you have models throwing themselves at
you it's got to be a little hard to control yourself.

Don't forget. If you were married to someone who kept going off for
months at a time, it would put stress on any marriage.
By the way, just because someone's a model doesn't mean they're an
airheaded stick.

I thought I'd respond to your post since it looks like everyone else would
prefer to talk to S. Laurin. I think most of us understand that 99% of what
posters claim to "know" is part wishful thinking, part out-and-out bullshit.
When a post like yours comes along, i.e., one that is reasonable and sounds
like it has some basis in fact, it tends to get ignored because no one wants
to have the real story; it's much more fun to speculate and argue and call
each other names. I certainly hope that Jeff and Shelley (and all of the
Survivor contestants) don't read this group, but if they do, they should
realize that the posters here, myself included, are just people with too
much time on their hands, or boring jobs, or not enough friends to talk to.
Don't be upset about what people here think about you or your friends; our
opinion on these matters mean nothing.

Also, don't forge that there is a difference between gossip columns
and verified information from hundreds of media sources. Just a
slight. And if that poster can't figure out what it is, they may as
well keep believing the world is flat.
