Each week host Jeff Probst will answer a few questions about the latest episode ofSurvivor: Edge of Extinction.

Here, he chats about the season premiere.

So, we did have high expectations because we believed we had a great group of people.

But there were a few that still surprised us.

He went head first!

I really like that.

I think he is going to be a force.

She just dropped into the sand, started weaving and sharing her very personal story.

I was also curious about how Keith would fare in the first few days.

There was a clear sense in those first few days that this group didnt want them around.

As you know, I always think that its a risky decision to get rid of returning players early.

They offer so much wisdom and physical abilities around camp and to help you win challenges.

Which is why I have to give respect to all four returning players for saying yes to this idea.

Its one of the most remarkable traits of returning players.

When people ask What do you look for in a player thats what you look for!

The biggest reason is we are always trying to change up the game and keep players off balance.

And the players not only expect it, they crave it.

The new and unpredictable twists are what make the game play so fun.

So, having a secondary layer almost a second game happening on another island is a fun twist!

The other reason is The Edge of Extinction is not like Redemption Island.

Im really excited for the audience to take the journey along with the players.

Reem seemed to be a pretty easy first vote in that she was just not gelling with the tribe.

Reem just didnt seem to fully grasp how she was being perceived by the others.

What I found most fascinating was that her intentions really were coming from a good place.

Shes a mom and she took on the mom role within her tribe.

But what she didnt pick up on was that nobody wanted a mom.

I really felt for Reem.

She wanted this experience so badly and then to be first off is tough.

On the bright side, she is the first person ever to live on the Edge of Extinction.

Have I said how much I love idols!?

People are always suggesting we do a season without them; Im going the other way.

I think we need to do a season that features them even more!

That oughta rile up a few people.
