Survivor producer says having Mike White competing will be a "fun experiment"

"We’ve had other celebrities come in before, but it’s mostly been professional athletes," says Matt Van Wagenen of the two-time Amazing Race competitor, who's known as a writer/actor for the movie School of Rock and HBO's Enlightened. "This was a different take for us, and we weren’t sure how his gameplay was going to be. Was he going to come in and tell everybody who he was? How open was he going to be with all of this? It was just a fun experiment for us to see how he played, and I think appropriately enough, he was also on the Goliath tribe because of his record and how successful he is."
