Then there was some buzz thatSurvivormight go out with an all-winners edition for 25.

I will admit that 40 is the next big goal, says Probst.
It was pretty invigorating to see, wow, we have actually produced a lot of television.

We may not always be right.
We may miss and have a terrible season.
But we promise we will come back and do it again.

So getting to 40?
It looks like forever to get to 40 because just coming up with one theme is a gigantic hurdle.

And a goal that seems entirely within reach.
