I've also decided Jeff's comments are useless, he's describing the whole season through a lens only he can see.

I don't think I necessarily agree with this. Looking at Probst's reflexion of the contestants after the game was over has given us some spot-on insights on how this game is unfolding. Here are direct quotes about each of the four people already voted off that Probst gave right after filming was completed:

Michelle - "I actually thought that Michelle had a good solid energy coming into the game. But she's very small and very young. I think her life experience is the big question mark. What will she do when the going gets tough?'' (Pretty much telling us his pre-game impressions were off. Alluding to her negative attitude during the game.)

Gillian - "Does she know when enough is enough? You can only hear someone say 'I'm from South Africa' so many times before you want to say, 'Why don't you go back to South Africa!''' (Annoying behavior during the game.)

Paloma - "Paloma's going to have to pick the right alliance. Who you decide to team up with early on has such an impact on how you do in the game, because if you pick the wrong people, it can be hard to get out from under that.'' (He also talks about how she will behave when she gets hungry. This part of her was shown on the CBS insider clips).

Jacquie - ''I think Jacque will be a bit of a dark horse. I don't think she'll be a leader. I think she'll use her looks and her charm to get in with the right guy and hope that she can ride with that guy as far as she can…I think she's a legitimate threat at the challenges. She's pretty fit.'' (She rode Marcus's coat-tails until she was swapped. She was seen as a physical threat to Fang. Spot-on.)

So, I think Jeff is giving us all the clues. So, in the future I would expect that:

1. "Dan is his own worst enemy" and does something to get himself booted early. Jeff says that he as "like a cocker spaniel. Goofy, but to the point of annoying sometimes."

2. "Ace is like a James Bond villian that you hope will die a horrible death in the end." (Ace goes to the end?)

3. "Matty will be a fan favorite" and is "one of the most likeable, genuine guys.." (Matty vs. Ace? Good vs. Evil?)

4. "Will Charlie have a mind of his own or will he tag along with someone as far as it can take him?" (Charlie rides Marcus's coat-tails pretty far, but not to the end.)

5. "Marcus is a serious threat to win this game." (Marcus gets far and very well may be our winner.)

6. Negative comments about Crystal (loud mouth) and GC (in over his head, full of fear and false confidence).

7. Middle-of-the-road comments about Corinne, Randy, Susie, Kelly. (Mostly about their personalities). Jury members? Mid-gamers?

8. "Sugar plays with her heart and her emotions...Can she handle it?...Sugar cries a lot. (These were post-game comments made that he repeated again in his blog. And, we have seen this play out.)

9. Ken - "One of my favorite players in a long time...Ken is convinced that his gaming experience can get him far."

Anyway, I think Probst has been giving away a lot of legit info right from the start.
