At its core, itβs a show about social dynamics and interpersonal relationships. The crux of the show is simple: failure to adapt to the group will result in expulsion. Sometimes itβs funny to see people get kicked out, other times itβs sad.
Now am I describing Survivor or ITYSL?
Jeff Probst around 2009:
Jeff Probst reveals that by the end of "Survivorβs" first decade on air, he was disillusioned:
βI didnβt like the stories we were telling, and I was losing my joy of the format, therefore my joy of the job, therefore my joy of life. I didnβt want vitriol and who can be the meanest, most spiteful person.β So he tried to quit. βI think Iβm done,β he remembers telling CBS.
βCBS was initially horrified. They didnβt want stars to be given showrunner status. But I was so argumentative and sure that it was the right thing to do that I convinced them. It was the best move Iβve made in my career.β
