SOUTH PORTLAND - Some Mainers not only survived
day-after-Christmas shopping, they also met a couple of
"survivors" along the way.

Both the host and a former cast member of the
reality television show "Survivor" were out shopping
Tuesday.
Host Jeff Probst and his girlfriend, former
contestant and Maine native Julie Berry, were spotted at the
Target store in South Portland in the afternoon, shopping,
mingling with customers and posing for pictures.
"We keep running into friends of hers
every other aisle," Probst said.
The couple spent the holiday with Berry's
family in Gorham.
"We're just having a fun day out,"
Berry said, before posing for a picture with Probst and a fan.
Berry was a contestant on "Survivor:
Vanuatu," which aired in 2004. She began dating Probst
after filming the show.
The two volunteered to serve meals at a soup
kitchen in Portland on Christmas.
Probst said the experience was a chance to
bring some perspective to the "frantic" holiday
season.
"It's a chance to remember how fortunate
you are," he said.
Probst is taking a break after filming the
upcoming season of "Survivor." The show shoots two
seasons back-to-back, and then crew members take a couple
months off, he said.
The last episode of "Survivor: Cook
Islands," aired earlier this month. The next season of
"Survivor," filmed in Fiji, begins in February.
Berry said she is pursuing a master's degree in
counseling at California State University-Northridge.
