The Podcast on Fire is back for Survivor 48, with the survivor host Jeff Probst, producer Jeff Wolfe and the winner of Survivor 47, Rachel Lamont. In the episode of this week, the three discuss the interaction between Sai and Mary, how players’ stories are supervised in the series, and Eva’s unforgettable moment after the challenge of immunity. In addition, Probst explores what he felt during the emotional moment between Joe and Eva, how it led him to have a first in the history of Survivor and answers certain questions of fans.
Wolfe begins by making fun of Probst for the commentary on the latter’s challenge, especially when the balls are involved, the billiards. For his defense, Probst admits that he cannot help himself and that the fourth year inside him takes over. “I have a limited spirit; It extends roughly like the seventh year, ”explains Probst. “So, if there is a chance to make a joke on the balls, I have to do it. I mean, it’s really the limits of my comedy.”
The interaction between Sai and Mary is then mentioned, and Probst and Rachel agree that waste is part of the game. Probst says that Sai is fantastic and can understand how people. Rachel expresses that TRASH TALK is as long as it is in the spirit of the game, but it is also almost a guarantee that someone will take it personally, and that could be what people use against this player later.
Later, Probst reveals how the stories of people are supervised on Survivor, in particular impactful stories such as those that Kamilla, Joe and Shauhin shared on their family history. “We never push a player to reveal anything, even if we know that it is an incredible story, or that it could be full of emotion, or that it could really connect with someone who looks, it is their adventure, and it is their story to tell,” says Probst.
The host also evokes the case of Zeke Smith, where production would have said nothing about its history until Jeff Varner does not force him to get out of Zeke. When a player shows a story, production decides where and when to include it to advance the story of this player.
Subsequently, Probst also widens the emotional and impactful moment when Eva has publicly shared her experience with autism and her link with Joe. Probst details that he decided to let Joe kiss Eva at the moment as an intestinal decision, because he trusted his instinct that it was the right thing to do. Probst admits that he always feels emotional every time he looks at this scene and feels honored to be part of a show that allows human moments to happen, which can potentially help others feel seen and heard. On the other hand, Probst also shared that his children found his reaction of funny crying and even started writing legends even.
Finally, Probst answers some questions from the fans and reveals a fairly controversial idea. When he was asked what type of twists and turns that Probst has thought of including in a season, Probst admits that he fantasized to including AI (artificial intelligence) and having an algorithm that could potentially create multiple “perfectly designed” seasons. Before fans have a heart attack, Probst clarifies production would never conceive of this way because “part of the [Survivor] Design is unpredictable disorder. »»
