'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."

Where is the 'Survivor' 37 showmance couple now?

Viewers witnessed the last 'Survivor' whirlwind showmance in Season 37 in 2018. Dan and Kara came close on the Island but that did not end up well. As the show came to an end, Dan and Kara also parted ways. Dan is currently enjoying his fitness journey and modeling career. Meanwhile, Kara dated 'Survivor: David vs. Goliath' castaway, Alec Merlino. 

'Survivor' Season 44 will air on Wednesday, March 1, 8/7c, on CBS.
