“That would be fun.”

After claiming her second Survivor win on Australia v The World, Parvati Shallow has well and truly cemented herself as an international icon of the franchise — so, would she ever consider stepping over into a host role?
With the recent switch-up that has seen three-time player David Genat step into Jonathan LaPaglia’s hosting shoes on Australian Survivor, the question of who will eventually take over from the long-time Survivor US host Jeff Probst has been thrown around.
While it doesn’t appear that Jeff — who’s hosted the show for 25 years and is an executive producer — will be giving up his role anytime soon, Parvati told Chattr she wouldn’t be opposed to heading up the show if the opportunity arose.
“It’s not something I’m like, putting on my vision board. But, if Jeff wanted to step down, and he said he’s had enough, I would step up,” she told Chattr in a post-win interview.
“I would definitely throw my hat in the ring to host the show, especially if David is still hosting [Australian Survivor], and he and I could go head-to-head and kind of battle it out for whose game is the best. I live for competition like that. So that would be fun.”
Fans think Parvati ‘shaded’ Jeff Probst in our interview
During a post-win interview with Chattr, Parvati gushed about Australian Survivor host Jonathan.
“He was fun to play with because the host is part of the game. They influence the game. They become part of the game. He was fun to banter with on challenges, and he held my torch when I needed his help. He was very supportive.
“I really appreciated that he gave us contestants, space at Tribal Council to run it, like, he wasn’t trying to control Tribal or make it about him in any way. He really just offered us the platform he asked questions of us, and then let us run with it,” she added.
Some fans took Parvati’s positive comment about Jonathan as a dig at Jeff, who’s hosted the four US seasons she’s played.
“I feel like she’s shading Jeff,” one person commented. Another wrote: “I prefer JLP’s [Jonathan’s] approach to tribal council a lot more than Jeff’s. He gets to the point and asks the correct questions instead of some meta questions, motivating the players to make up the 826th metaphor for how playing Survivor is like. There’s no fluff.”
One thing is for sure, between Parvati and Jonathan, Survivor US would have no shortage of strong contenders if Jeff ever steps aside.
