When it came to learning the ropes of hosting reality TV, Betty Who continually turned to one show in order to prepare: “Survivor.” “Jeff Probst is what I know,” the singer told The List. “It’s not a dating show, but Jeff Probst is one of my favorite hosts.”
It turns out that watching a survival series is actually very similar to any dating show — love can be brutal, after all. At least, that’s what Who wanted to imitate while hosting “The One That Got Away.” “[Jeff Probst] is not afraid to get in there and stir some stuff up,” she told us.
Who is pretty good at stirring the pot over the course of the season, too. In every episode, she appears exactly when contestants are least expecting — and certainly not wanting — to meet their brand new match at “The Portal.”
In each episode, Who knew exactly what she had to do. “I want to be as shady as Jeff Probst is,” she laughed. “That’s what I want.”
Season 1 of “The One That Got Away” is available to stream now exclusively on Prime Video.
