Awards
On September 21, 2008, Probst won the first Primetime Emmy Award for Outstanding Host for a Reality or Reality-Competition Program. He won the same award in 2009, 2010, and 2011. The Los Angeles Times attributed Probst's undefeated track record in the category to his penchant for interacting with contestants on a compassionate personal level unseen in any of his competitors, transcending his role of host to that of counselor. In 2012 Jeff Probst was not nominated for an Emmy for the first time in years, Betty White got the Emmy nomination instead of him for hosting Betty White's Off Their Rockers.
