Each week, host Jeff Probst will answer a few questions about the latest episode ofSurvivor: Kaoh Rong.
ENTERTAINMENT WEEKLY: Okay, a lot to get to with this triple threat medical situation.
Depending on the situation, one will rule over the other.

Debbie went down first.
It was made easier because her tribe had already finished so there wasn’t anything at stake for them.
What would we do if they simply couldn’t find the bags?
How would we end this challenge?
We have a very proactive team and everybody is always trying to anticipate possible problems and solutions.
Fortunately, both tribes ended up finding all their bags and the challenge continued.
At this point I really didn’t have any concerns.
It was just moments after the challenge ended that things really took a turn.
Caleb and Cydney both dropped within a minute of each other.
It was a very spontaneous decision.
What was remarkable was how effortless it all came together.
Suddenly there were coolers full of water bottles right next to Dr. Joe and his team.
Umbrellas to provide shade.
The chopper was put on alert.
Everybody on our team is prepared for emergencies like this and they went into action immediately.
Dr. Joe was incredibly focused.
While Cydney was certainly in bad shape, she was not in a life-threatening situation.
So, with her tribemate Jason providing comfort one half of the medical team tended to her.
Dr. Joe turned his attention to Caleb, who was much more serious.
Nick was right there, holding Caleb’s legs up as Dr. Joe ran some quick tests.
Medical always rules in terms of a contestants health.
I was so proud of every single crew member and the way we all came together.
My proudest moment in 32 seasons.
That may sound odd, but it truly was bonding through crisis.
And, he was being tended to in a hospital not long after that.
You’ve had a bunch of really scary scenarios over the years with contestants losing consciousness.
How does the Caleb situation compare to other ones like Russell Swan?
This is at the top of the list.
This was the most frightened I’ve been in all my time onSurvivor.
Three people down at once and one of them in very serious condition.
There was no color in Caleb’s face and very little response from him for quite a while.
Even for the first few moments after they put the oxygen mask on, Caleb didn’t respond.
It was very powerful to witness.
You guys always want to push contestants, but never this far.
He kept his promise.
Nobody was going to outlast him in anything.
He went until he couldn’t go anymore.
You have to remember thatSurvivorhas very few rules.
Okay, let’s sneak one non-medical question in here, which has to do with Alecia.
You told her at Tribal, “I think you’re going to be voted out tonight.
I don’t think there’s any chance they’re voting anybody else out.”
I’m not sure I’ve ever heard you tell someone that before, but it was plainly obvious.
What’s your take on her and the guys in her tribe?
Are there any heroes or villains in this scenario?
This is a complicated one for me.
I’ll do my best to explain my point of view.
Alecia is a self-described “tough chick.”
She grew up in the world of boxing with her dad.
As for me calling out Alecia at Tribal, to do anything less would be disingenuous.
I can’t recall a tribe where three people were so dead set on voting someone out.
It had already happened once in this very tribe when Jenny got caught making a big move.
Turns out, she wasn’t.
Okay, tease us up for next week, sir.
I think given all the drama, it’s time to switch things up!
