So I got a call from a person who casts the show, like one of the executives at Peacock, and was asking me about my interest in the show.

And it had been some time since I competed on a reality TV show.

And then it went pretty well.

Yeah.

And then I went through the regular casting process.

And it's a lot different than when you first get cast on Survivor because when you do Survivor, you're one of hundreds of people they're talking to and thousands of people apply.

And it's very much like they are like sifting through, okay, we're going to find these people.

I think with traders, they know what they want.

They know who they want.

And they reach out to you and they say, hey, do you want to do this?

And then you say yes.

And then, you know, you're kind of just like they're making sure you don't have anything crazy in your background or anything like that.

And then you're on the show.

My threat level comes from that I talk about these shows.

more so of like what my accomplishments actually have been on Survivor.

I've never won Survivor.

I haven't even played Survivor in 20 years.

And so there were some people who were in the castle who were talking about my background a lot to the other folks.

And I think it sort of started to snowball a little bit.

But I do know the show particularly well.
