The second episode of Survivor: Worlds Apart featured an uncharacteristic amount of people getting naked without care, including White Collar tribemates Max Dawson and Shirin Oskooi and No Collar tribemates Hali Ford and Jenn Brown.
Probst spoke with Entertainment Weekly this week about why everyone was going nude all of the sudden, saying that everyone was doing it for different reasons.

"Max was very clear that he was giving a nod to Richard Hatch, so I think for him it was a 'Survivor moment.' For Shirin, I think it was 50% strategy - to align more closely with Max - and I think the other 50% was the bit of her 'No Collar' coming out to say hi!" Probst said.
"For Hali and Jenn, completely different. They're young, beautiful women with a much more carefree attitude toward life, and so for them I'm guessing it was just a fun idea - one they would have done with or without cameras," he added. "I love the free spirit. It bums me out how uptight most of us are with our bodies. Who cares? Just go have fun!"
Funnily enough, going naked has actually paid off for some past Survivor players. Richard Hatch was famous for walking around naked frequently and he wound up winning the $1 million in season 1. Similarly, Jenna Morasca got naked for chocolate and peanut butter in Survivor: The Amazon and she won her season as well.
It remains to be seen if the contestants of Survivor: Worlds Apart will continue to walk around so freely in the coming episodes, though some fans on Facebook would rather not see this trend continue.
Survivor: Worlds Apart airs Wednesdays at 8 p.m. Et/PT on CBS.
