Jeff Probst on Survivor: Winners at War players fighting for respect
, good is not good enough and they feel they should be recognized as one of the best ever. The reasons vary, but the common denominator in these stories from many of the returning players is that they are looking at season 40 as an opportunity to prove their doubters — either real or perceived — wrong.
I asked Prost on day 1 of filming what it is that makes some members of this very exclusive group of winners feel like they are still fighting for respect. “I think when you do something likewhere you are vulnerable, you get to put yourself out there and people get to see everything about you,” says Probst “And then you manage to do it. You win! You vote people out and get them to vote for you as the best player.
For these players, beating the competition is not good enough. And, says Probst, “I can relate to that. Because you’re asking for credit. And some players don’t get it. And some get it, and you’re not even surethey still get it. I’m sure people get annoyed when [people say to me] ‘You talk about Parvati all the time. She’s a great winner.’ Well, it’s just an opinion. Is she a better player than Adam? I think so, yeah. But Adam won! I don’t know. I’m just a fool out there watching.
Probst can sympathize with players who may think they don’t get enough credit for their craft, because he says he often finds himself feeling the same way. “I can relate to somebody who has a chip on their shoulder because I can find it in my own place,” says the host. “Why aren’t you guys talking aboutmore and how we reinvent the show? How we’re still on when all the others died? Why is nobody writing that story? I find myself doing the same thing.
