After a so-so Blood vs. Water season, Survivor host Jeff Probst clearly has high hopes for the upcoming edition called Survivor: Worlds Apart.

Survivor: Worlds Apart will begin with 18 castaways being divided into three tribes: White Collar, Blue Collar and No Collar. The players will vary from nerds to free spirits with street-smart people in between.
"The cast is fantastic. This group of people, everybody is popping. We have a really good combination of very smart -- high IQ -- and very savvy to the game, and that's a deadly combo," Probst explained.
"One day, I was just looking at all of our cast, and you could see White Collar and Blue Collar really easily because we had a state trooper and a postman and a guy that works in the oil field, and then we have Yahoo execs."
He continued, "I kept looking at this other group and they were just, sort of, one guy sold coconuts and one girl worked on a sailboat! And I just kept looking at them. And finally, I went, 'Oh my God, the No Collars!' They just say, 'I'm going to go where the world takes me, where the wind blows.'"
Probst said that based on stereotypes, each group of people may bring certain personality traits or strengths to the table, however, there's no telling what could happen.
"White Collars tend to make the rules, Blue Collars tend to follow or enforce the rules, and No Collars tend to break the rules. I don't think being labeled White Collar, Blue Collar, No Collar works for or against you. It's what you do with it," the host said.
Survivor: Worlds Apart is set to premiere with a special 90-minute episode on Wednesday, February 25 at 8PM ET/PT.
