I LOVE the fact that he mentioned how they teach the contestants how to play before the game starts. Giving them advice/best practices beforehand makes for a more competitive game and gets the players thinking.
Interference? Watch Some of the other earlier seasons were, as he said, they put them out on the island and let them figure it out.And I think we would all be begging for him to give them tips
@@elainesarnecky182But then it'll be pushing people to play in a style that might not fit their character. We all appreciate the product but it feels a bit weird to me.
Since no one says it, I will say it: David is a SNACK! It was hard to concentrate during the interview but it was worth it. I loved his POV and approach. We need more of this input in the US version.
@@elainesarnecky182 You’re probably counting the 2002 and 2005 seasons that were on a different network, we usually don’t count them as Season 1 & 2 although some illegal streaming services do
Great interview, like has been said Ch10 hit gold with David as Survivor show runner. The one thing that came to me at the end of the interview is that a year ago everyone was asking when will Australian Survivor do a AUvUS season, but now especially with how 46 started and how good TvR was, no one is asking for it anymore
I think Australian survivor is in GREAT hands with this guy! Amazing insights and perspectives that are keeping the game fresh instead of stagnant like in the US. Thank you Shannon for this fantastic interview!! 👏🏼👏🏼
This was a great interview. So interesting. Great ambassador for production respect for the game. Also appreciated his appreciation of Shannon and the fan community. Would love to hear his teaching methods... would be fascinating for us super fans to hear what he emphasizes. David is a delight.
I love this interview so much. Listened on a road trip with a friend I also converted to AU. I said, "shannon loves final 2 like me and i fully expect her to mention that" lol. Did not disappoint one bit. I loved the questions about twists and format. This guy already has a better understanding of good survivor than Jeff. He provided great insight to great questions. I enjoyed the 8 weeks 3 episode format this last season and I love how you mentioned the non elims being pre merge and him saying that is intentional. I was yelling YES so much to so many things that just made me happy to hear.
How do you fall in love with a stranger that you hate. Why am I cheering for a villain when I want a hero to win? THANK YOU David for giving us the best TV. Shannon, as always, I look forward to your podcasts. All the best from Torontoxxx
Paramount+ is ridiculous for not showing the global Survivors & making us fans reach out to view them. It’s obvious we are & they are not benefiting from it.
Get rid of those borinig immuity challenges where they pretty much stand still, which for this season was practically every one after merge. Not exciting to watch at all.

Not sure if I want this kind of producer interference though.

@lagofala it's just an encouraging pep-talk pre game he's not telling them what to do constantly.

If David isn't the EP for Season 10 then I don't know what to say to Network 10 lol. Thank you for the great interview Shannon, and thank you David!
I'm confused. Didn't we just have season 11? How could he not be on ten

Ahhhhhhh! Such a shock to see this on the timeline i love it!
This guy's been around 5 minutes and he already seems to understand the game better than Jeff in his 25 years
David is so good at speaking. Maybe they should cast him for Survivor.
Woooow!!! (David if you are reading this bring back King Benji!)

what a great interview, love david's approach as an EP!
I always enjoy behind the scenes tea. Even better from such a fun, smart, handsome man.

This man deserves so much credit and a huge shoutout from the audience, making the best survivor 🫡
