TV host Jeff Probst has opened up about the horrifying "Survivor" incident that almost made him leave the long-running show. The Emmy-winning host has been a part of the reality competition program since its inception in 2000, but throughout his 25 seasons as the game's moderator, one incident in particular made him rethink his career choice. Probst reveals to entertainment site TheWrap.com the moment in 2009 that almost changed his life for good.

He admits, "I had a really rough year in Samoa. I still don't really know what it was, but a lot of things happened on the show. This guy, Russell Swan, he nearly died, and it was really scary to me. Some other things happened with contestants. It just was a weird season, and I was really exhausted and I just didn't think I was good anymore." Probst was so inclined to quit that he even called CBS network chairman Les Moonves to inform him he wasn't up for the task anymore. He continues, "I went and talked to Moonves, and said, 'I owe you and Mark (Burnett) my whole career, and I don't want to disrespect you in any way, but I'm really tired, and the show might be better served by having somebody new come in with fresh ideas.' And Moonves was awesome. He said, 'Do what you need to do. We hope you stay with the show, and if you don't we'll figure it out.' And that was the best approach, because he gave me a chance to decompress, and I was totally back into it again."

Three years after his momentary scare, Probst kicked off the 25th season of the veteran reality show on Wednesday for "Survivor: Philippines," which coincidentally stars Samoa contender, Swan.

"Survivor: Philippines" airs Wednesdays at 8 p.m. ET/PT on CBS.

Trouble stirred on Wednesday's episode of "The X Factor," as one contestant, Deangelo Wallace, left the auditions handcuffed and driven away in a police car. Another batch of wannabes sang their hearts out in the hope of winning the $5 million grand prize, including Wallace, who promised to do a lot of shopping and buy a lot of fast cars if crowned the champ. The Kansas City, Mo, hopeful came on stage with a cocky attitude, insisting if the judges "didn't see a star (in him) they're fools." Wallace declared himself better than Justin Beiber, prompting judge L.A. Reid to ask, "Do you have any idea how much you're getting on our nerves?" Demi Lovato agreed: "You're digging yourself into a hole."

The 19-year-old performed Chris Brown's "With You" and left the panel stunned and disturbed. While the audience booed Wallace, all four judges, including Britney Spears and Simon Cowell fill-in Louis Walsh, decided to leave in the middle of his audition. Perturbed by his ghastly audition, Reid stated, "It was all just a big joke to him. We laugh and have a good time, but it's all serious." Clearly rejected from the competition, Wallace declared, "They don't know what talent is. Something is wrong with them. If you ask me, they all worship the devil." After his audition, Wallace took off without giving the $3,000 microphone pack back to the crew, which sent members of the "X Factor" production staff running through the streets to find him before calling the police.

Once nabbed by the cops, he admitted, "I stole the mic. Y'all didn't let me through so I was gonna steal your equipment." Wallace attempted to show off his singing skills one last time as he was handcuffed and forced into the police car. He was charged with a misdemeanor, but released from custody after a few hours. In addition to Wallace's arrest, 42-year-old Panda Ross left her audition in San Antonio, Texas in an ambulance. Although she wowed judges with her audition, the soulful singer was still suffering from pneumonia, having been hospitalized the day before. Unlike Wallace, Ross left with four "yeses" and hopes to be back to full health for the next round.

"The X Factor" airs Wednesdays and Thursdays at 8 p.m. ET/PT on FOX.

The season finale started with three contenders left in the house, but after Ian won the final Head of Household challenge, he decided to vote off third-place finisher, Danielle Murphree. Down to the final two, their fate was left in the hands of their former competitors. With mischievous mastermind Dan scheming and practically running the house for the past few weeks, the jury decided to hand over the crown to Ian, who won six out of the seven houseguests' votes in the showdown.

Ian, a self-proclaimed superfan of the reality show who has watching "Big Brother" since he was 10 years old, gushed about his win as he exclaimed, "This is easily the best moment of my entire life. I don't know how the hell I pulled it off." Dan did not leave completely empty handed as he received the runner-up reward of $50,000. Another $25,000 prize was handed out to Frank Eudy, who was voted America's Favorite Houseguest by viewers. CBS execs also announced on Wednesday that "Big Brother" will return for a 15th season next summer.

To keep its trailer hitched to TLC for a second season of "Here Comes Honey Boo Boo," the family of 7-year-old Alana Thompson reportedly wants $10,000 per episode. According to the Hollywood Reporter, negotiations are ongoing.

The urge is strong to poke fun. After all, the greatest talents so far demonstrated by these people are pig-feet bobbing, flatulence and possible child exploitation. However, they also know how to draw viewers. Two million or more tune in each week to their reality show, spun off earlier this year from TLC's "Toddlers & Tiaras." And the Shannon-Thompson clan was reportedly paid a grand total of only $40,000 to shoot the reality

show's six-episode first season.

The Season 1 finale of "Here Comes Honey Boo Boo" airs Wednesday, Sept. 26, at 10 p.m. ET/PT on TLC.
