Earthquake expert Prof. Dr. Şener Üşümezsoy has recently made headlines not with his scientific explanations, but with his bold comments about Survivor during a program he participated in. His responses to the questions directed at him during the show quickly resonated on social media.

Üşümezsoy was asked about the possibility of participating in Survivor, and he replied, "Of course, I would go. Survivor would be too easy for me. I looked at the current cast, Bayhan and so on... If I were there, it would be unfair competition."

"I AM ACUN'S MAIN STAR" OUTBURST

Üşümezsoy stated on the program, "I am Acun's main star. They allocated a budget of 500 thousand dollars for me for 'Yok Böyle Dans', but I didn't accept it. That's why our relationship is a bit strained, almost like a blood feud."

THE CROCODILE ADVENTURE IN KENYA BACK ON THE AGENDA

The program also brought up Üşümezsoy's adventure in Kenya years ago. The famous professor described what he felt while swimming in a lake full of crocodiles: "I suddenly jumped into the lake, there were crocodiles, but I didn't hesitate at all. Tuğba Özay was with me. Thanks to my research, I knew that crocodiles don't attack without having all four feet on the ground, so I was relaxed."
