What is the format of the On Fire podcast?
Welcome to On Fire, the only official Survivor podcast. I'm Jeff Probst, the host and showrunner of Survivor. This is the fifth, that's right, number five season of this podcast. And for those of you who've been with us, whether it's for one season, two, three, or all four seasons, I want to say thank you for listening. Thank you for spreading the word. That's why we're doing this is to connect with Survivor fans. And for those of you who are new to On Fire, Welcome to the tribe. Here's what we do. After each episode of Survivor, we dig into the biggest moments from three different points of view. First, you got my point of view as a producer. We'll get into the juicy behind the scenes details about how and why we do things, why we built that money marooning challenge and how do we build it? Or how do we put together that opening sequence with the S48 players hearing the call and learning they were going to be on the show? So that's the whole point of this podcast is the how and the why of everything.
Then we get your point of view, the fan point of view. That's where Jay Wolf comes in. He is a bona fide Survivor super fan. He's also the executive producer of this podcast. And his job is to ask the questions that you want answered. What's up, Jay? Hey Jeff, what's going on? I'm stoked to be back here for season number five. So am I, and I'm very excited because now we can round it out with the third point of view. Arguably the most valuable insight you're going to get comes from a former player. That's the critical inside baseball that only somebody who actually got up off the couch and played Survivor can give you. Every new season of On Fire, we get a new returning player. We had Rick Devins, a legend.
He was our first. Then we have the winner from 45, Dee Viadaris. Then last season, we have Charlie, runner-up, season 46. This season, we're going to keep the bar just as high. Our newest co-host, both a brilliant strategist and a challenge dominator. In fact, she tied the record for most individual immunity wins. She is the winner. of Survivor 47. That was a long buildup, Rachel. Rachel Lamont, welcome. What an intro. Thank you, Jeff. Thank you, Jay. I'm so excited to be here. Happy to join the team. Yeah, we're lucky to have you and have you join us. All right. So that's the show, Jay. We don't dilly dally. Let's get into it. Where should we start? It's the premiere of Survivor 48. I think we got to start here with the start.
Yes, sir.
So I have a question. How does it feel to be on season 48 of Survivor?
No way!
Are you kidding me? What? Oh! Congratulations, you made it on season 48. Oh, my God, Lina! Oh, my God! How would you like to be on season 48? No way! Yes! Oh, my God! Get out of here. I love it. Yeah. Well, I want to start here briefly, Jeff. This is not an opening to a season of Survivor that I've ever seen before. Right. So how did you decide to start us with the cast answering the call? Yeah. Well, it's funny you bring that up because we've talked about doing this for a few years. Meaning, what if we just use their Zoom calls where we record and say, hey, congratulations, you're on the show. And every time we talked about it, I was always open to it. But in the back of my mind, I thought, I don't know how I'm going to feel about starting an adventure show with a Zoom screen.
And then Dave Armstrong says, what if we don't? What if we start with the audio? But what you see in the visual is adventure. And that probably sounds very simple and obvious, but it took us a minute to find it because you can get locked into a box and you get locked into seeing things a certain way. Even us who do this for a living every day. But the minute you put The Zoom call audio on top of this crushing shot of islands, now you got Survivor. And now you have that call to adventure that we were talking about. Okay, so let's talk about how one gets to this point at which you're receiving this Zoom call, these new castaways. There are probably thousands, tens of thousands, hundreds of thousands. Millions of people listening to this right now who would die to receive that call and be a part of Survivor. So how do those people, the audience who are watching this, get to that moment?
