The CBS reality staple has attracted 11.5 million viewers the last three years — ratings that one CBS exec calls “the greatest gift you could ever have as a scheduler.” Jeff Probst says of maintaining Survivor's viewership: "I’m not going to lie and say I wouldn’t love for more people to start watching Survivor, but I’m not making it to attract a new viewer.

As a result, Probst returned recharged.
