Each week, hostJeff Probstwill answer a few questions about the latest episode ofSurvivor: Winners at War.
JEFF PROBST:Its really pretty simple.
It complicates the game by mixing up the players.
With a group of 20 winners, you have to take every opportunity to make the game more complex.
And to their credit, this group of players welcomes any and all twists.
They want to play.
They like the pressure of having to assess and adapt all day, every day.
Weve never experienced anything like this in previous seasons and it adds a very real layer to the game.
Over the past 20 years, a lot of the former players have become friends.
They meet each others families, they hang out together, they participate in charity events.
They make very real bonds outside of the game.
And this season were seeing some of those past relationships have an impact on the game.
First the poker alliance and now Michele and Wendell.
It puts a target on both players' backs if for no other reason than uncertainty.
Are they still friends?
Could they form an alliance?
As for their first interactions…I saw what you saw.
It was a bit uncomfortable and I felt for both of them.
But there is no getting around it.
Its out and its a thing.
When I was prepping for this season, I took note of the various approaches used by each winner.
Everybody has their own style and it tends to match their personality.
Rob however, has stayed true to his core.
He is a boss.
He has a plan.
He likes things to go his way.
And for most of his life it has worked out pretty well.
But yes, I think that is what led to him being voted out.
And thats scary because if you cant control him, then that means he is controlling you.
Weve got a spousal reunion coming next week on Edge of Extinction.
What can you tell us about next weeks episode?
