There are a lot of changes to the upcoming season 41 ofSurvivortitled, appropriately,Survivor 41.
“So if we wanted to shoot two seasons, we had to do it back to back.
“At first glance, you might think that’s impossible, but it’s not.

The players definitely felt it, and you’ll see it in the show.”
In fact, Probst says we’ll see players struggling more, not less, in the abbreviated campaign.
“So their cognitive abilities are diminished much faster than in the past.
After only a handful of days with no food, they started to struggle to form clear thoughts.
You’ll see it.
They struggle in all areas of the game.
Nobody was complaining that 26 days was not enough!”
But it wasn’t just about giving the contestants less.
It was also about squeezing more game into fewer days.
“The pace is absolutely relentless,” says Probst.
“Faster than any other season.
There is no time to sit back and contemplate even for a moment.
The game design has never been so dangerous.”
“We haven’t decided if we will go back to 39 days,” says Probst.
I don’t think anyone will even notice that it’s only 26 days.
Remember, it’s not the number of days that matter.
It’s what happensduringthose days.
And a lot happens inSurvivor 41.”
