After aWinners at Warseason that pitted former American champs against each other, the Canadian floodgates opened withSurvivor41.

The Ontario veterinarian appeared poised to cruise to victory, until yetanotherCanadian took him out.
So what’s with all this Canadian dominance, tearing through the game like the RCMP?
We went toSurvivorhostJeff Probstfor answers.
“That’s a fun and funny question,” says Probst.

“But they could never play.
So you could’t lessen the pent upenergyby dividing it.
Mind blowing, right?
Until…“News alert!
Canadians can apply to be on Survivor!”
Two decades of energy explodes!
And from that point forward it’s been total Canadian dominance.”
I mean, it doesn’t sound any worse than anythingwe’vecome up withsoooooooosure!
Let’s go with that.
Producers have already found a way to verify that does not happen: There are no Canadians cast onSurvivor43.
