It's not just about being a name, it's about experience in the industry. Lee Pace is a minor star, probably working his way to a major one, and has done big movies. An independent venture couldn't afford him. For what it's worth? A purely independent venture also couldn't afford Toby Huss, Kerry Bishé, Scoot…

Yeah, Probst has said he thinks Vecepia is a good winner, but he thinks her style of play, while successful, is boring. He's sort of gone up his own ass in terms of the show and what he thinks viewers want.

Thanks, Mr. Literal!

I was unaware anyone over the age of 20 watched MTV.

Well, I guess rich people need something to do with their money.
