More elaborate idols? A revamped auction? New Easter eggs? Jeff Probst reveals how #Survivor made the jump to 90-minute episodes.
has been lobbying at CBS executives for years, and with both writers' and actors' strikes now shutting down scripted programming and opening up slots on network broadcasting schedules, CBS was finally ready and willing to give it a shot.
Ninety minutes presented an interesting challenge for us because we still only had 26 days to shoot, but we have essentially 50 percent more show to produce. And so what we were wrestling with on location was the drain. It was taking on everybody. But the natural assumption is, "Well, if you have more time, why can't you just show more of all the stuff we love?" But the truth is, that's a risky bet because not every moment of every day is interesting by design.
So the auction became about reinvention, and this was a situation where I actually just sat down one day with a blank piece of paper determined to come up with a new idea. And once I had something, I called my buddy Elan Lee of Exploding Kittens. As always, he added another great layer, and brainstormed with me, and the new auction was born. And since it will only be new the first time you see it, I'd rather not tease it anymore.
