Jeff Probst couldn’t outplay this steamy obstacle. During Survivor’s Oct. 29 episode, the longtime host was seen doubling over as the Fijian sun blazed down on him and the season 49 castaways. “The island where that challenge took place is the single hottest spot we ever shoot in Fiji,” the 63-year-old explained during the Oct. 30 episode of his On Fire podcast. “It might be the hottest spot in all of Fiji and I don’t know why. I’ve asked people on our team and I never get a good answer. But I’m sure there’s somebody listening right now saying, ‘It’s a basic barometric pressure.’” “It’s like you’re in a sauna and someone is pouring more water on the coals,” Jeff told cohosts Jay Wolff and Jeremy Collins. “I’m not exaggerating.” Indeed, Fiji’s sweltering heat had the longtime host gasping for air in the season 49 episode. And as he hunched over and tried to catch his breath, other contestants checked in on him.
