That’s why he made some major changes heading intoseason 37.
And debuting his upgraded gameplay couldn’t have come at a better time.
We’re talking explosions, helicopters, mountains, oceans, caves.

You name it, it’s in here.
You want to talk about detonation stations?
You want to talk about active bombs?

That’s what we’re dealing with.
It is bigger and better than I’ve ever seen it."
And he promises that this will be the best yet.
“It’s high-ranking in every major category.
And I gave it my all, 110.”
(What else would you expect from him?)
In Walker’s own words, “Let’s go!”
ENTERTAINMENT WEEKLY: When did you find out you were invited back for this season?
And then at that point you might assume, okay, we’re here.
you’re able to never be comfortable.
After your elimination onDouble Agents, what did you do to train differently for this season?
I actually own not one, not two, but three different versions of that same exact tanagram.
You really leveled up on the mental and physical weaknesses you’ve had in past seasons.
Did you go into this season with any new strategy politically?
In an interview after my elimination I said, “I don’t know what I need to do.
Maybe I should go to a silent retreat.”
Well, I did just that.
I have downgraded from a ladle probably to a teaspoon for my stirring utensil.
I’m impressed by this new and improved Devin!
But we cannot dwell on the past!
When we spoke afterDouble Agents, you said that you and Josh bonded and got over your beef.
Does that mean you two made an alliance and worked together this season?
The Josh-and-Devin saga continues, but there’s nothing worse than when people just won’t let something die.
Our feud is so season 36.
And me and Josh broke each other, and we had to fix that.
I think that you’ll be pleasantly surprised to see the behavior from myself and young Josh.
What can you tease about who you get partnered up with at the start of the season?
As we know, partners in this game can come and go.
And I just keep leveling up.
And that makes who your partner is extremely important.
So in a game where partners have never been more important, I just hit the jackpot.
Tell me more about that, because for the first time the rookies actually outnumber the vets.
That could mean disaster for all of you.
And these are not normal rookies, these are superhuman rookies.
So although we’ve seen some strong rookies in the past, this particular crop was very impressive.
They forced the veterans to come correct or risk losing your spot in this game.
And I’m very happy with how we may have come together.
I know I won’t be the only one who is happy to hear you say that.
This season is hard-hitting.
It is going to be an absolute thrill ride.
Now that’s a great sell.
Old Devin would have had a real hard time because people were trying to lay traps.
They were setting bait.
Yes rivalries, but no distractions.
Based on everything you’re saying, it sounds like this may be your best season yet.
Would you call it that?
How does this season compare to last season, especially since the spy theme has carried over?
Location makes a big difference this season because it’s the best house we’ve ever seen.
So that took the anxiety level down a lot.
People were able to get their stress out in any way they wanted to.
