Survivor Jeff Probst Van Halen References
Here's the scene from Survivor - the first one "might as well Jump" is pretty quick, but the other two are a bit more subtle.
Did you catch all three?
Okay, here's what I got:
- Might as well jump (at the beginning of the clip)
- Diver down (when they go down to release the balls)
- Somebody Get Me a Doctor (Van Halen 2 deep cut) Jeff makes the reference when they smack into the platform
Confession from Big Jim: I'm a HUGE Survivor fan, from the very first season with Richard Hatch winning (told you, I've watched them all). When I was younger there was always a thought of going on the show - I figured I could talk my way into the finals. But the evolution of the show and the cutthroat nature (they all lie from the moment the boat sets them on the island in Fiji) has made me a super fan who'd smack somebody if I was on there.

How big of a Van Halen fan is Jeff Probst?
Okay, so we know Survivor Jeff Probst Van Halen references were on the show...but is he REALLY a fan? I did some digging and found this clip of Jeff on stage with the Foo Fighters doing a little "Jump" - here you go!
Bottom Line from Big Jim
I don't know any TV show (reality or otherwise) that's ever worked in Van Halen references like that - nothing but love for Jeff Probst. I'm wondering if the producers realized what he was doing during the show (the first one was pretty obvious, but the other two were seamlessly worked into the show). BRAVO Survivor Jeff Probst Van Halen references - now work in some Zeppelin next!
Concert Do Over- Screamin Scott
Asked a question to you on social media on my facebook.com/screaminscott page. If you had a chance, to go back in time to go for a second time to see a concert, what concert would you see? I was overwhelmed by the response. So I took a moment to narrow down the best of the best of all the suggestions. Here's a list of the Top 10 concerts and the people who suggested their favorites.
Ira Paul 1971 Grand Funk Cobo Arena
Ira Paul 1971 Grand Funk Cobo Arena
Still don't know why this band is not in the Rock and Roll Hall yet. They have met the requirement for songs, crowd, and overall talent. Still enjoy Mark Farner's American Band when they are on tour. Mark will be playing McMorran Place Theater in Port Huron, Mi Mar.24, 2023
Jeff Moga- Zeppelin at the Silverdome, 1977.

Another band that was on my bucket list to see but ran out of time when John Bonham passed away before he played the Silverdome again. Can you imagine seeing them at the Grande Ballroom in 1969?
Cherie Lowe- Prince. The Palace.
Cherie Lowe- Prince. The Palace.
Prince was so talented it was mind-blowing. The first time I went to a Prince show was his 1999 tour. The guy could play every, and he did play, every instrument throughout the night. Surrounded himself with talent in his band. Still a huge Morris Day fan but love Prince also
Tony Salpino III -Kiss tiger stadium June 28, 96
Tony Salpino III -Kiss tiger stadium June 28, 1996
Tony! Love to comment on a show I got to see also. Had 6th-row center smack dab in the middle. My girl at the time got claustrophobic and we had to get off the field. Luckily I had press passes for the press box behind homeplate. The stadium shook back and forth and was so over the top. The best KISS show I had ever been to.
Gary Bird- Live Aid!! 1985
Gary Bird- Live Aid!! 1985
I agree Gary this is one show for the ages. So glad it is on film for all to enjoy for years to come. One of the bands I kick myself for not going to see the live concert. Had many chances to go see them. One of my concerts fails I will never forgive myself.
Ross Biondo- David Gilmour 94'. Greatest show I ever saw by a long shot! Pink Floyd
Ross Biondo- David Gilmour 94'
One of my favorite guitar players. Makes a Fender guitar speak on its own. Plays with such a feeling.
Bobby Lewis -Paul McCartney & Wings... "Wings Over America" tour 1976 Olympia Stadium
Bobby Lewis -Paul McCartney & Wings... "Wings Over America" tour.
Never got to see,"WINGS," in concert but have many DVD's of shows. Hope to see Sir Paul a few more times. Last show I got to see was at Little Caesars Arena. I believe he was the first act to play there.
Tim Marko- The Who at the Pontiac Silverdome
Tim Marko- The Who at the Pontiac Silverdome. What a concert. Except Pete did not like the sound inside the Silverdome. Didn't stop me from going through almost the entire catalog that night.
Suzanne Govan Cobo Hall. Jay geils and Mountain we got to meet them in the basement
Suzanne Govan nothing like a J.Geils concert. Great choice as I have seen them many times in concert and from start to finish. What a party! You are exhausted after a show from cheering encore after encore. Great memories.
