"Initially, when I saw Survivor players showing up on other shows, I was pretty vocal," he said in a new interview with Gold Derby about the upcoming season 50 of the hit competition show. "[But] now I have a different feeling."
"I'm embarrassed that I was upset about it, because I have nothing to do with it," he admitted. "Jesse Tannenbaum runs our casting team, and he's a great leader... I see why other shows would want these people. They're fascinating, they're compelling, they're great storytellers."
Probst has been outspoken about not wanting contestants to appear on other shows in the past. Most recently, during a Survivor CBS panel event in February 2025, he admitted he gets "a little territorial" over their contestants and that it feels like other shows "just wait for" Survivor to find great people and then steal their most popular players, and "it has bothered" him in the past.
‘Survivor’ Alumni Who Have Competed on Other Reality Shows
Survivor players do have a long history of appearing on other shows, regardless of Probst's feelings about it. Many legends, including Rupert Boneham and Boston Rob and Amber Mariano have appeared on The Amazing Race, while others, like Jay Starrett and Natalie Anderson, have competed on The Challenge.

Probst promised that appearing on the other show wouldn't hurt anyone's chances of being invited back to Survivor in future seasons. "Just because somebody goes and plays Traitors doesn't mean they can't come back and play Survivor," he said. And that appears to be true, because the cast of the upcomingSurvivor 50: In the Hands of the Fans season includes LaGrossa Kendrick and Fields.
