The Indianapolis Colts were asked if they could name a handful of celebrities for a fun Instagram video, and Survivor fans were shocked and offended at the answers the players gave when shown a photo of longtime host Jeff Probst!
“Bear Grylls, I think. That’s not Bear Grylls, bro?!” said rookie quarterback Riley Leonard, and things only got crazier from there. “Brad Pitt? No? I just know Brad Pitt, and I kind of imagine him looking like that,” suggested cornerback Justin Walley. The closest guess was probably “Steve Irwin or something?” by wide receiver Alec Pierce, considering other guesses included David Hasselhoff, Crocodile Dundee, and “Not Tom Cruise.”
Finally, a couple players got it right, including defensive tackle Tim Smith and defensive back Hunter Wohler, but Survivor fans were already shocked and appalled at their lack of reality competition knowledge.
“Disappointed none of they dudes watch Survivor… goated show,” said one fan in the comments, while another added, “‘Steve Irwin or something’ @alecpierce 😭💀.” A third chimed in adding, “Some of these guys really know nothing outside football 😂.”

The NFL stars’ responses to the other celebrities were equally hilarious. When Bethenny Frankel came on-screen, they guessed Cher, Lady Gaga, and one even said “she looks like her name is Cheryl” while another added “her name is probably like Charlotte.”
While most of the guys knew Viola Davis and her hit show How to Get Away With Murder, the train went off the tracks when they were shown a picture of the Black Eyed Peas. “Oh, that’s easy, that’s uh… the group,” joked one confused player, while another said, “Backstreet Boys” without missing a beat. “He said Backstreet Boys so confidently let him have it 😂😂,” one fan joked in the comments.
When it came to the Oppenheim brothers from Selling Sunset, the guys said “They look like The Rock’s dad,” and “Batista, the wrestler.”
“This went exactly how we thought it would,” wrote the Colts’ social media team in the caption.
