“Disgruntled players looking to settle a score” need not apply.

And that’s important to me because that’s going to guide us into our creative.

We want fans to be happy.

We want this to be a celebration.

And the celebration theme also extends into picking the players to compete.

We want players who are also excited to be on it, Probst explains.

This is notWinners at War.

It doesn’t mean we don’t want players who are going to play hard.

Of course we do.

Were not looking for disgruntled players looking to settle a score.

We’re looking for players who want a second chance, who have something to prove to themselves.

So celebration is the first word, and that equals joy.

I’m looking for those moments that are going to be really fun and really funny.

The players are excited, and we like that, Probst acknowledges.

There’s no issue with a player being excited or trying to find out if there is information.

That’s a good sign.

It says you want it, so we welcome that.
