Jeff Probst Remains a Survivor

Does this mean we'll never get our resurrection of VH-1's Rock and Roll Jeopardy?

The future of the mega-hit Survivor seemed to be up in the air for much of the Fall Season. Jeff Probst had been heard to say that he wasn't sure if he'd be back for another season. He was tired of never being home.

Probst said in October that he was weighing whether to continue with the show. He has hosted Survivor since it debuted in summer 2000 and his current contract ends with the edition now in production.

Apparently Probst isn't so worried about "home" anymore. He just inked a multi-year deal to continue on as the host of the CBS show.

Some speculated on what would happen if Probst chose not to return to Survivor. The obvious replacement seemed to be Colby Donaldson or Jenna Morasca. However, with Jeff Probst's new contract signed, sealed, and delivered, we don't have to worry about that for a few more seasons.

The Season 11 - Survivor: Guatemala finale airs this Sunday at 8pm on CBS.

So, no. Not a chance on that Rock and Roll Jeopardy revival. Sorry, folks.
