Survivor always has its share of blindsides, friendships and arguments, but on the franchise's upcoming 33rd season, there will be love!

"There's rarely a love interest. Man, they stink. Their hormones are off. They're not eating. But leave it to the millennials to give us a little love! It's a fun one," Probst told Us Weekly.
"It blooms early and, in typical millennial style, they're not very concerned about hiding it, which baffles some of the other people. They're like, 'What are you doing forming a couple?'"
The term "power couple" is very dangerous in Survivor, so it might not be the best strategy for two people to form such a solid bond right away.
"I was amazed at the brazen nature of it because typically on Survivor, people would go, 'Wait a minute. That's two votes. We're going to get rid of one of you.' But it's fun to see young love," Probst explained. "And they're both good looking."
When playing off generational stereotypes, Probst admitted he's not surprised at all the romance developed on the tribe comprised of younger players.
"There's this idea in the millennials that, 'You know what? What's the big deal? We're falling in love, let us fall in love!'" Probst said.
This won't be the first brazen romance viewers have seen on Survivor, however.
On Survivor: All Stars back in 2003, Rob "Boston Rob" Mariano began dating fellow castaway Amber Brkich. The couple wed in 2005 and welcomed four daughters.
Whitney Duncan from Survivor: South Pacific, which aired in 2011, fell in love with fellow castaway Keith Tollefson. The scandal at the time was that Duncan was still married to her then-husband, musician Donny Fallgatter, while filming the show.
After Duncan and Tollefson competed on The Amazing Race as an engaged couple, they got married in Summer 2014.
