Bailey reveals that this season’s treasure hunt sets the show on a whole new path.

Casting the man behind the villain, Pate reveals that McQueen actually ended up influencing the role.
“We were originally inspired by V.S.

“It’s like a comic book where the villains always get harder and scarier,” he says.
“And this season, the villain is more than just entitled to the treasure.
It’s not even like he needs it, he justwantsit.”
