On the podcast, Probst revealed the notes he took on the player during the casting process.
My first impressions were what you might expect, Probst says.
“I wrote, He’s amazing, very compelling, incredible storyteller.
He will be great.
Yes, he should be on the show.
And then as we continued to talk more in future conversations, I wrote, He does overthink things.
This could cause decision-making issues.
And then after another interview, I wrote, He should and could go very deep.
He’s so smart.
What would stop him?”
What stopped him, Probst argues, was Something unexpected.
It turns out that guy just got voted out ofSurvivor.
