One thing you have to remember is that networks aren't just looking at what a show produces, but also what the shows around them are producing.
Luckily Survivor is on a pretty dead night for American TV, but if that slot starts heating up I would look for the network to move survivor on its way down, and that would be its way out.
It also seems Probst is pretty happy with his new talk show, recently married and looking to start a family I can imagine that being away for over a month at a time, twice a year, might become less appealing. Survivor without Probst drops even further down in ratings.
All good things must come to an end, and even Survivor can't outlast ratings.
Just some things to think about.
