One in particular sounds a a little fishy.
They’re everywhere onSurvivor.
And there’s a reason for that: They keep majority alliances from simply steamrolling through the game.

And that’s because they were never discovered.
The first example occurred just last year onSurvivor 42.
“We wanted to put the idol nullifier advantage into the game,” Probst explains on the podcast.

“[Executive producer] Matt Van Wagenen… had an idea.
‘We should put an advantage inside a fish.’
He’s pitched it for years… and for whatever reason we did it this season.”
An advantage hiding inside a fish?
What have you done, Jonathan?
What have you done?!
“He’s nonplussed by cleaning fish,” Probst recounts.
“He does this every day, he’s the guy that’s always out there cleaning the fish.
Hot damn, man!
“If you go back and watch that episode, it’s episode 4,” Probst notes.
“Paramount+, you’re free to see all this.
It’s about 11 minutes in.
you’re able to see it happen.
you’re able to see him with the knife, and it’s right there.
The audience didn’t see it.
Jonathan is hearing this right now, first time he’s heard it as well.”
Probst also uncorked another doozy on his podcast.
“Millennials vs. Gen X, the players don’t know this either,” he reveals.
Ah, but there was something else as well.
It says, ‘Most all initial liaisons begin relaxingly.
In new groups, societies always disclose very advantageous news to all.
Gregarious, engaging, flirtations, indifferent, narcissistic, defensive, inauthentic.
The facade is revealed starting today.'”
You’ve probably already figured it out by now, but the players on season 33 certainly didn’t.
“Nobody thought twice about it.
And they would have gone to Tree Mail and they would have found an advantage.”
