Why You Should Watch Survivor Maryland



As Australian Survivor and Millennials vs Gen X take over the internet, we want to draw your attention to the most exotic Survivor location of all: the University of Maryland campus. Survivor Maryland director Austin Trupp joins us to explain how he created the gold standard for fan-made Survivor series, why the genre deserves more respect, and what it can teach us about casting and gameplay on televised Survivor.
