But we just never got to it this season.
So he was, in many ways, this personification of a David.
He had been overcoming obstacles his entire life.
And then we had a guy that was the polar opposite.
This guy thats known as Johnny Mundo [a.k.a.
John Morrison], the mayor of Slamtown.
Hes a professional wrestler, hes gigantic, hes charming, and hes smart.
It will bring you to your knees and it will lift you to your highest heights.
Its all about context and situation and how you respond.
Its metaphorical, right?
So its about people.
I could get very deep on this.
David was laughed at when he suggested he go up against Goliath.
And then he was given the armor of Saul, which was too big.
He couldnt even carry it.
It was like a big joke.
But he kept insisting, No, Im gonna kill him!
And then they couldnt even believe when he did it!
But remember, not only did David beat Goliath, David went on to become the king.
Davids can actually not only be an underdog who win something, they can actually become a king.
Jeff, you and I have talked about audience and rooting interests before.
People love an underdog.
And I think the Goliaths out of the gate may be saying things like, What do you mean?
Im not a Goliath.
Ive had to work hard for everything.
And I think that can be very true.
The first question is,whatis the advantage?
And until you know the situation, you dont know what the advantage is.
And I think we pulled it off.
You just got back from filming this.
Its the rainy season out in Fiji.
Any weather complications this season?PROBST:[Laughs] Its a hard season.
They will earn it every day, especially early on.
Trust me, Jeff just handles things and doesnt need to check in.
But its a huge deal when he calls to say, Hey, you should know this.
Hes just amazing at that and surrounds himself with a great weather prediction team and crisis management team.
In fact, in a way itenhancesthe adventure because you want all of it.
You cant have a high without a low.
I had a really great experiment this summer.
During filming on season 37, I asked myself the question: Why do we make this show?
And I was surprised with the answer.
Because I thought we made it for the audience.
And it was really eye-opening to me.
