Probst explains why he agreed to take the cubes out of the game.
The tribe countered with three people sitting out, only for the host to stand firm.
They then asked about sacrificing two Shots in the Dark, and again the host declined.

Now the host was interested.
But did he want to?
It is also a tool to keep contestants from informing victims of their fate, thereby increasing blindsides.

The host was asked exactly that by Jay Wolff on the latest episode of theOn Fire With Jeff Probstpodcast.
“It is a really good question,” Probst says on the podcast.
So my decision was also happening in real time.

Is this a real sacrifice for them?
Is it worth the rice?"
But wait, there’s more!
“You’re also still in host mode,” Probst explains.
There was also a bigger, less mathematical picture for Probst to weigh.
“They’re busting their butts in this game.
The gameplay is so tight, nobody wants to give up their shot of immunity.
And they’ve come up with a pretty inventive idea.
That’s also good.
So you’ve got to really consider it.”
It’s also unique for me.
Translation: This is not a deal he is likely to make again.
