How they choose the throws
Tens of thousands of people apply to be on the show, and in the end the casting producers will mix a bunch of Surviving Aficionados with people, who usually stop being models or actors, they recruit. Still, the recruited players have to go through the entire casting process.
“Believe it or not, we get many applications from the same persons year after year,” former casting director Lynne Gamemanthat had been in the show from the beginning to 2018, told Reality wanted.
Now, host Jeff Probst is Management casting.
“Usually it goes like this,” he outlined to Entertainment every week. “We jump on zoom, and they start to tell about their lives. I often spend the first few minutes and think the same thing …” How have they already done so much at such a young age, and what did I do when I was 24! ?? “
There are several rounds after that, including a meeting with the show’s pyschologists. “Our only intention is to get to know who they really are,” Probst explained. “It’s one of the things I am trying to emphasize for people who apply to be at Surviving. You don’t have to be anything other than who you are. It sounds so simple but it’s the absolute truth. You don’t need an emotional underdog story, you don’t have to be the most fun person in the room, you don’t have to have a college degree, you don’t have to be anything but you. “
