'Survivor 33' News: Why Jeff Probst Is Already Praising 'Millennials vs Gen X' Season [VIDEO]
Survivor host Jeff Probst is already hyping up the upcoming 33rd season of the reality series.
Coming off of two very well received seasons, Survivor is at it again with the upcoming Survivor: Millennials vs. Gen X. This season splits the players down the generation line in a young vs. old dynamic that will surely result in different feelings among the fan community.
Probst recently spoke about this season with Entertainment Weekly and teased why fans in either age group may not necessarily be drawn to their representative side.
"I think people are going to dig this season," Probst said. "I really think you're going to like a lot of these players. The key will come down to who you relate to. I'm a Gen Xer and I found myself drawn to the Millennials. I was embarrassed that the Gen Xers were so uptight, a lot of them. And the Millennials would says things like 'Technology, and we want autonomy, and we want to work the hours we want to work,' and the Gen Xers would say, 'You guys are too entitled, you're too much technology based,' and the Millennials would say, 'No, you're just from an old system and you don't see. We're not the future, we're the now. And if you'd stop writing longhand and get a computer, you might figure it out.'"
And as Probst often likes to hype up, Millennials vs. Gen X will feature a Survivor first - and in the very first episode, at that.
"We have something happen in the second day of the first episode that has never happened before," Probst teased. "And the Gen Xers react to it with a little bit of concern and fear. And the Millennials are like they're at a rock concert going 'Bring it! We'll take it!' And that really struck me as, yes, I want to be like you."
Survivor: Millennials vs. Gen X will premiere this fall on CBS, in the regular Wednesdays at 8 p.m. ET/PT timeslot.
