Jeff Probst Talks About 'Survivor' Gabon - Watch New Trailer

With Survivor: Micronesia over, the reality show is now gearing up for season 17 by going back to Africa.

The show will be setting up location on the west coast in the country of Gabon. "I didn't know where it was," says host Jeff Probst. "I had to look it up on a map. It is probably the most remote place we have ever gone."

What does that mean in terms of wildlife? "We don't know," Probst says. "No one's really ever been out there.

Gabon marks another big transformation for Survivor in that it will be the first time the show has been filmed in high definition. "Survivor is one of those shows that you want to see in HD," says Probst, while saying that the surroundings will look a lot more spectacular than the marooned contestants, "People with bug bites are going to look worse, people that don't have great bodies are going to look worse, and people who are really attractive are probably going to look… worse."

And what about, Jeff Probst? "I went through every scenario: Is there any way I can wear makeup? Is there any way I could not shoot in the middle of the day? And the answers are all no. I've just come to terms with it."

Survivor: Gabon-Earth's Last Eden begins filming in late June and will air in September on CBS.
