The site further said that the next Survivor will be titled "Survivor: World's Apart" and will feature three tribes of all new players "representing the cross section of American society."
"It's 'White Collar vs. Blue Collar vs. No Collar,' Probst told Entertainment Weekly. "White Collars are the people who typically in life are educated, might work in an office, wear a suit— they make the rules."
"Blue Collar— the heart of America. They typically work outdoors. They might wear a uniform. They work with their hands. They follow the rules," he continued. "And the No Collars are the people who break the rules. They don't go by convention. They don't care about the status quo."
Probst went on to say that this forthcoming season could top last spring's "Brain vs. Brawn vs. Beauty" battle theme of "Survivor: Cagayan."
"Person for person and pound for pound, I will say that this is the best group of people I think we've ever had," the host said. "That doesn't mean there aren't duds in the cast, but if you just had to take one entire group of people, I love this group. And I don't often come up front anymore and say I really like a season because I know that that's very biased and it's my own opinion."
"But just my own Jeff Probst opinion—I have not seen a second of footage cut yet. Just based on my experience, this was one of my favorite seasons of all time," he claimed.
Aside from the status war, "World's Apart" will offer new twists that fans would totally be surprised of.
"We have a new advantage in the game," he said. "Something we've toyed with for a long time and decided to do it this year, and it plays out great. I'll leave it at that for now."
