'Survivor' 44 to feature showmance after 7 Seasons?

Speculations have been swirling around the internet about 'Survivor' Season 44 showmance for a long time. One of the contestants Danny Massa of the upcoming season first teased that there would be one showmance. In a previous interview with Entertainment Weekly, Danny revealed that he had a feeling people would couple up this season. However, in a recent interview with TV Insider, Probst seemingly confirmed the rumors. Probst shared, "I hadn’t heard of Danny’s prognostication! That’s fascinating. I wonder if he noticed something between two players during pre-game or if he just has a hobby of making love predictions." He added, "Either way, he might want to consider getting a crystal ball and doing this full-time because his instincts were spot on!" Probst continued, "Survivor 44 has a showmance, our first showmance in a very long time. I won’t say anything other than if it lasted, it would make me very happy."
