For the second week in a row, CBS aired promos featuring massive spoilers for Survivor: Island of the Idols. Hours before tonight's episode, Probst tweeted that he agreed with fans who considered the promos spoilery, pointing out that producers have no say in promos. "To those of you frustrated by the #survivor spoilers in the promos... I have to admit I too find it mind numbing," Probst tweeted. "And it pains me to have join in your complaints against @survivorcbs but I am..." In separate tweets, he added: "Despite being on the air 20 years we still have not earned the right to approve our own promo spots. The purpose of a promo is to entice you to watch without giving away what it is we want you to watch. We have no say in that...I encourage you to continue complaining in the hopes they will finally submit. But spoilers notwithstanding, tonight's #SURVIVOR episode is GREAT! Super fun! Enjoy!"
