I maintain that they should have everyone at one camp and that One World just had a really lovely cast that ruined that concept.

I agree,minus the separation of gender, which was useless. The extra dynamics that come from living with the other tribe but not having a direct vote for that group are great. There's an added dimension of strategy for the early game where opposing members can try manipulating the other tribe before TC. Just keep Colby away from everyone.

One World advertised itself as all being at one camp but it certainly didn't feel as it was. Didn't they have separate camps but were just near enough to walk over? Even having that distance meant that people couldn't easily sit together and talk without it being obvious to everyone. A single camp plus a delayed tribe swap would be awesome for shaking things up

I'd love the one world concept with having everybody on the same tribe for the first few votes, followed by a tribe division of some kind. Also, for Asian American ladies, it's a bit obscure but I loved Michelle in Fiji. She had a fun personality and was a good player who got dryfucked by one of the worst twists Survivor has ever pulled.

It was also a really dreary setting and I think that kind of contributed to how everyone was just a complete rear end in a top hat. Kind of the same way Savage's Pearl Island tribe just eventually hated their lives while sitting in the rain with no shelter. Weren't the Thailand people just living in a cave on a dead beach?

One of my favourite survivor memories is the terrible cabin Rupert built that got immediately flooded when the tide came in. Everyone just sitting on benches with the water up to their ankles.

Thailand was the first season I didn't watch live, and I think it was just kind of a boring season on top of a television concept that looked like its time was near. There was bad juju on both pre-merge tribes, a morally repugnant winner, and straight up bad gameplay towards the end. There was also a bit of a mess with the jury talking about one of the finalists being a racist rear end in a top hat without much proof, which likely sealed the deal for the winner. But at least Ted was 150-200% satisfied with his wife.

Is that person who watched 2 entire seasons in the past week looking for suggestions for more seasons? If so, they should watch 28 or 32 at some point soon. Especially 28. Also: STAC Goat posted:I do (rarely) agree with my fellow Goat that there seems to be a "this is kinda why they throw in so many advantages and idols and tribe swaps to keep things from ever getting too settled and fatalistic." But the dream is finding that sweet spot and its just one episode so far. And early enough in the season that at least it came at a time when we could stand getting to know people a bit more. I would argue that this last episode is an argument *against* frequent twists. In this era of super-frequent swaps where tribes never last more than 3 rounds, what incentive does Bradley's group have to turn on one another? Why should Chelsea or Sebastian or anyone who thinks they are on the bottom of that alliance flip and annoy the vast majority of the original Naviti's when (1) they have a free pass to the next swap, (2) they are likely to swap into a new tribe that is majority-original Naviti at the next swap which they know is probably 1 or 2 rounds away? And even if they did have incentive to flip numerically, is it worth putting their neck out there to form a new slim majority if it's highly possible someone in the majority has a magic secret unknowable superpower that changes the mechanics of the vote in some way? If you can't reliably plan for the future, you are forced to play in a conservative probabilistic way, where you just need to keep the inertia of a giant alliance going because going against it can very likely screw you over in the near future. ETA: If we took things to the extreme and randomized tribes every episode, I bet the meta-game would quickly stabilize into one giant ~12-14-person alliance which would almost always form a majority on a new tribe and have one person from the minority to pick off. mancalamania fucked around with this message at 06:11 on Mar 28, 2018 |

I'm just mad they're screwing around with the Ghost Island mechanic. It originally hid someone from a TC, and then post-swap, it still hid Chris Noble from a TC. Why did it suddenly change after that?! It would have been so much better if it hadn't. KellyN gone would've made that first Bradley vote 4-4, and more interesting than the straight 5-4 numbers we had, even if Michael's idol play was a fun try. Then in the next vote, Stephanie would've been safe on GI, and maybe Michael plays his idol right or I don't know, but it would've been better, and also I'm just frustrated how illogical it was for the Ghost Island TC escape to disappear at a seemingly random point.

They should divide the players into three tribes with everyone who has been sent to Ghost Island forming the Ghost Tribe on Ghost Island.

They also have a better chance for people to flip if they can threaten going to rocks, thus actually putting the ones they want to flip in danger.

But yeah, I agree that the knowledge that they PROBABLY were going to get another Tribe Swap was the best piece of information Sebastian and Chelsea could have worked with to decide to just play it safe, not rock the boat or make any enemies, and see how things play out. Even if they do think they're on the bottom of their five there's a LONG game to play and plenty of time for that to change. And this early in very much the chances of another swap if they knew the show.

If nothing else, at least Ghost Island all but forced them to cast more actual fans of the show. I'm sure they're talking about it, but we very rarely get to see it if they're planning for it.

It's pretty rough to drop 5 people into a brand new camp with no shelter or anything. I mean at that point, why even bother making a camp when they are almost certainly going to merge back to 2 groups in like 6 days at most?
