John Kirhoffer has been creating and building games for the CBS reality show since Season 1. Kirhoffer explains how challenges are designed, starting in conference room in Los Angeles. “We go out and do a scout to see what kind of landscape we have,” he says. “Do we have big fields? Do we have rolling hills? Do we have flat water? Do we have waves? What kind of water clarity is there? Then, we come back to the States and we start putting together our challenges.”
