    Jeff Probst describes the show’s crew as “a giant creative collective team who all know our parts,” and that includes “an international crew of 350” with “100-some locals” spread across 20 departments. Probst gave some specifics about how the production team is structured at various points during the discussion: 1. Jeff Probst is showrunner and exe...

    Survivor is permanently located in Fiji now. One major reason: Fiji provides a “massive rebate: 45 percent,” Probst said, so almost half of the show’s costs are covered by Fiji. (For details on that, including what Fiji requires of a production, see Film Fiji’s web site.) “We’re making a show, they want to promote Fiji, so it’s a quid pro quo. It’s...

    During their discussion of Fiji, host Todd Garner tells Probst, “now you’re doing stories rather than locations” and he adds, “which I think people love.” (Uh, well, not me.) Probst responded, “I never thought of that, but you’re right. It’s forced us. We don’t have that crutch any more to show a local tradition.”

    Probst says that each season of Survivor “is laid out. We know which advantages we’re going to use, we know what episode they’re going in, regardless of who’s in the game, regardless of which tribe is going to get a chance to find it.” But he said “where you do have leeway—and you have to be prepared—” involves challenges, especially ones on the wa...

    “On any given challenge, we might have 15 to 25 cameras. Some of those are POV GoPros that are hidden somewhere,” Probst said. Those cameras now include GoPros, drones, and a new cable cam. “We started using cable cams this year for that big football type of shot down a long challenge. It’s inspiring to everybody because we’re basically saying to o...

    A few behind-the-scenes tidbits: 1. “We have 40 boats,” Probst said, including some Survivor’s crew created. The “marine team designed their own boats and built them,” and he says “we could make [those] for $75 grand because our guys know what they’re doing.” 2. “We import every bit of timber, all of our food from either New Zealand or Australia or...

    Survivor has started casting seasons 39 and 40, though without casting director Lynne Spillman, who was fired this summer. Probst is now running the process, though neither that nor Lynne’s exit are mentioned in the podcast. (He does mention Lynne when discussing how Millennials vs. Gen X came together, saying she “kept bringing in these great but ...

    Early in the series, Probst says that Burnett gave him “the greatest gift ever. … What he really did was, he said, I believe in you.” Probst says “it allowed me to argue with Mark,” and “my argument was, But I’m the audience. You want me in this point of view. You be the maniacal crazy guy, I’ll be the guy that helps we’re doing things the audience...

    “We have this creative time that’s been together for a long time, so we all know each other really well, and what we all agree is, we don’t want to continue to tell the same story, which is I could win. Here’s how I’m going to win,” Probst said on the podcast. Instead of focusing on how people will win, the team has a different focus: At another po...

    The production does “plot out” seasons in advance. “A lot of our format is worked out we know we have challenges, but any time we’re doing a unique season, we usually bring something unique to it. That’s the stuff we’re trying to plot out so when it comes time to execute it, we know exactly what to do,” Jeff Probst said. Some of that happens in Jef...
