Sean and Evan sit down for a rare interview with Survivor’s original Casting Director, Lynne Spillman. They go back to Borneo and the instructions she received from Mark Burnett, recruiting, the magic of Sue vs. Rich and how Russell Hantz jump-started the show in season 19. Lynne opens up about actor bans, the “hot people” memo, and why she fought for Amber in All-Stars. Plus, what she saw in Parvati, the glory of chaos-making recruits, her honest thoughts on villains, family-friendly TV and the new-era casting pivot.
