Secrets From the New Season of ‘Survivor: Nicaragua’
Jul 30, 2010 Entertainment
When "Survivor: Nicaragua" premieres this fall on its new night, it will be a battle of the ages … literally. ET talks to host Jeff Probst to get the inside story on how the 20 new castaways will be divided into two tribes: Young vs. Old. The Espada Tribe will be made up of individuals over the age of 40, while the La Flor Tribe members will be 30 years and younger
ET: What can you tell me about the new season?
Jeff Probst: Early in casting, we decided we had a lot of good older people. And older people on "Survivor" means over 40, so bear that in mind. So Mark [Burnett] decided he wanted to do old vs. young, which is risky for us to do because one tribe could dominate the other and it would be over soon. Surprisingly, it was a very interesting experience early on. We have a great, fun cast.
