Rob wanted to take advantage of the time with Jeff and ask him questions he has been thinking of for years. How Survivor embraced all the change that came with 2020, the show being postponed, and the creative reset for the Survivor production team. What Survivor 50 will look like, and if there will be another all-winners season for Survivor 50, which is rapidly approaching. How Survivor has changed in the Survivor “New Era,” and how being a Survivor fan is almost a prerequisite for getting cast on Survivor today.
This 5000th episode of RHAP is something we’re really proud of, and we hope you enjoy this interview with Jeff Probst before the Survivor 46 season.
Thank you again to Jeff Probst and all the folks at Survivor and CBS for the opportunity for this interview, thank you to our listeners for getting us to 5000 episodes, thank you to our Patrons for their support, our podcasters for their incredible coverage of our favorite reality tv shows, and here’s to the next 5000 episodes of RHAP!

| 1:07.0 | to get to this point, and I couldn't be more excited |
| 1:11.0 | to share this one with you, we we really we could have done |
| 1:16.2 | anything for episode number 5,000 I had a lot of different thoughts but the one that really jumped out to me rather than doing |

| 2:08.0 | And so, very generously, Jeff Propsed made 30 minutes to talk with me and that is the interview that you are |
| 2:18.0 | about to hear. Very nervous about this interview. I spent a lot of time thinking about what I wanted to talk with Jeff about, |
| 2:27.1 | and you'll hear that here in this interview. |
| 2:29.9 | I just thought that this was the right way to go because so much of my life has revolved |
