Okay, where were we...oh yes, logic.

The Rupert Edit: this is not the hard working, good guy edit. That's been done over and over. The Rupert edit is one where we get an immense amount of face time based on a quirky personality, offbeat observations and comments. It's an edit based around a character being "unique" to our experiences as tv viewers.

The "Rupert Edit" somebody referred to in conjuntion with JT is just...not well thought out in the least. JT is getting the hard working, good ole' boy edit. As I've said before, he's getting the Bobby Jesus edit, no more no less.

I truly believe that Probst meant the Coachbag when he talked about somebody being more popular than Rupert.

If it was supposed to be JT, then why didn't we get as much facetime as Coachbag got?

Because they were giving Coachbag the Rupert edit. This is NOT a hero edit, mind you, but again it is an edit based on showcasing a unique personality amidst the druck we generally get from casting.

I bet they were watching dailies thinking "OMFG this is going to be GOLD!!!!"

Guess they didn't think about the possibility of everybody thinking "OMFG what a fucking DOUCHE!"

In answer to another question: Not certain how Survivor does it, but first they film their dailies, which editorial takes a look at and starts breaking down to what they are going to use. This is likely a lengthy process before final air.

The thing is, they probably lock their episodes but reserve the right to make changes, as all shows do. You'd be surprised at how close to air some shows push it, whether it be another take, some color correction or a VFX shot so IF the editors noticed something and decided to make a change in direction, while it would be a pain in the ass yes they absolutely can open up a locked episode and make changes. I absolutely think they've done this a couple times based on the response to certain characters.
