Published Saturday, Feb 12 2005, 17:01 GMT | By Daniel Kilkelly
Survivor host Jeff Probst has revealed that his relationship with Survivor: Vanuatu contestant Julie Berry is still going strong.
"It's going great," he told Zap2it. "It's definitely set a new standard for me in terms of what I want from a relationship and I hope that this is the last time I ever consider it.
"I'm very happy and we have a great time together. She's a sharp woman. She went through a lot early on and it really gave her a lot of wisdom."
However, Probst has admitted that his first impression of Berry was less then favourable, when she talked about a reunion with her biological sister in her audition for the show.
He added, "She got very emotional and I just didn't buy it. I didn't know anything about Julie and I was trying to see if she was for real and I kinda said as much. She left the room crying and definitely did not think much of me.
"I felt badly because I realised that I'd inadvertently hit a sensitive area and didn't intent to, but what I thought as she left is, 'That may be the most beautiful woman I've ever seen.'"
The tenth season of Survivor begins on Thursday, February 17 on CBS.
