Of all the innovations of the new era I hate the most, there are three tribes of six tribes. No, wait, it’s the last four fire brigade challenge. No, wait, they are the trunks. No, it’s the fire. No, they are the trunks. But tonight is really about the tribes. I think this episode proves that three small tribes are an absolute failure because so often one of these tribes is decimated and the game completely confuses. Jeff says he likes the small tribes because it is nowhere to be hidden. I tell you where you can hide: A winning trunk! After the elimination of this week, 14 players are still involved, and only seven of them were on the tribal council. Let’s do it that way SurvivorJeff? Half of the people can almost get into the merging and never came up with someone who has voted out the crucial activity of the entire game.

This episode marked what I would see as a failure of a tribal suction that took a trunk of three and two strains and would be combined in three five stems, which makes sense for all sorts of challenges. According to today’s episode, they can go to Jeff’s excessively complicated URL and vote on what will happen in Survivor 50including whether there should be a trunk exchange or not. This voice is also a bit bullshitt-y because it is not just a question about the question If The trunks are exchanged How. I don’t mind swapping a trunk, but we are 50 seasons in; Can’t we switch it up a bit?

This exchange was based on the classic Survivor Method for everyone who draws new buffs, and that determines which trunk they are on. Fortunately, it is. You could just as well let them roll with dice. As I always say, nothing should be left to happiness in this show. I would also say that three full tribes are exchanged in the game so early when we didn’t really get to know two of the tribes because they were not on the tribal council, which actually makes it a poorer experience in consideration. It is difficult to follow who is where and what the dynamics of this tribe is. Now we have to learn where everyone is now, where they were before, who they spoke to before and who they are talking about now, and keep all of this for three tribes. That is far too much for the occasional viewer.

What if you were mainly like you were? All they really needed was to add a player from each of the larger tribes that they don’t even know what color this is because they still learn the trunks. (Actually, they know that it is green because they are those who lose again and again.) In this way, the spectators still mostly know who is on Cika and who is on lavo and they are not too confused. (Actually it is Civa and Lagi, but they didn’t even notice the difference because they still haven’t learned the trunks.) With the subtract of a number of each trunk and adding, it will allow all new dynamics and relationships to flourish with the slightest intervention.

There are a number of creative ways to separate this that have nothing to do with luck. Let’s assume that Civa and Lagi both make a challenge, such as the classic Hold-A-Bucket-of Water-As-Long-Youou-Possibly-CAN challenge. Those who drop their bucket first go to Vulu. Or even better, whoever wins, the person selects from their trunk (which could also be!) To go to Vulu. This will also create a movement in the dynamics, because if the sales member or the Lagi member makes it into the merging, you will hate the person you sent there and maybe hate your entire trunk that would prevent the game from being all about the same tribes in which you started.

There is another method that I think Survivor Must research more, and this takes some of the social experiment dynamics from shows such as Ink fishing game: the challenge And Beast gamesThings that will be familiar to the younger YouTube fans who also watch Survivor. This show was the real pioneer of reality television without crossing some limits and going to some new experimental directions is in danger of looking tame and boring in comparison.

What if Jeff said: “There are 15 of them and they have 15 minutes to take three new tribes. If they don’t do it in 15 minutes, we eliminate two people.” This would be a real turn because even these superfans would not come on the line -up. It is totally new and would require them to think about the game without precedent. Or even better, he says to every trunk that he has to get rid of a person to go to Vulu. He doesn’t care how they find out, but they have to do it in a assigned time.

What this show always made interesting when Richard Hatch invented the idea of ​​alliances is the interpersonal dynamic in the game. We have seen from both shows mentioned above that it is much more heartbreaking and surprising that the players select their own fate under pressure than just letting the old lady’s happiness decide what will happen.

Okay, enough free ideas from me for this summary. After the completely random selection of tribes, we have Chrissy, Mitch, Cedrek, Sai and Bianca on the new Civa; David, Eva, Charity, Star and Mary on the new Lagi; And Joe, Shauhin, Thomas, Kyle and Kamilla on the new volu. We immediately know that Vulu will be the one who loses and goes to the tribal council. Why? Because that “before Survivor… ”Everything revolves around Thomas and his theft, Kamilla and their additional voice and Kyle and his idol. Why should we have to know and remember all of this, unless there is tribal?

Instead of bored with the details of the challenge that we already know how it will end, let’s have a small update about David and his girlfriend, which we have found in the last episode that she would dismiss him if he did not win $ 1 million so that she can be the mother of four years. Well, it turns out She already has. When he spoke to his new tribe, he said that she had unloaded him for money problems. David, this woman doesn’t want you! She wants a rich man who will give her the life that she cannot give her now, which means she doesn’t love You. She loves an ideal of a certain kind of life and she will take it from everyone (with at least six visible abdominal muscles). David says that if he wins the great price, he will first ask for her ring size. Why? She has already unloaded you, age. This relationship is gone! Let it go! (This suddenly feels much more like one of me Real Housewives Reviews than it does Survivor.))

As much as I hated the tribal change, the episode of Kyle and Kamilla’s fantastic performance was saved after the Merge at Vulu. They all hide it in a shitty camp without flint – the new tribal members punish for losses of people who are no longer on the trunk – and Kyle and Kamilla make the clever decision to do as if they were not as close or work together. Kamilla tells the California girl – Thomas, Shauhin and Joe – that she wants Kyle out, and Kyle tells them he wants Kamilla. The best, frankly, was that Kamilla said she was at the end of her tribe and you wanted to vote. The California girls hear that and think they can keep them nearby and add them as number. She quickly creates so much confidence in this boys that Shauhin Kyles bag searched directly in front of her and essentially telegraphed to her as to her voices on the tribal council of that night.

Shauhin did not find the idol (it was in Kyle’s shoe, not in his pocket), and the CGS did not make emergency plans, especially because Thomas did not told him about his additional coordination. I always suggest not to say to people that they have advantages, but this was the time for Thomas to comment. Although they did not find an idol, they could have done two on Kyle and two on Kamilla, and even if Kyle played his idol and both voted for Thomas, it would have been a tie and the remaining players could have sent Kamilla home. Instead, they loaded themselves on Kyle, who played his idol, and Kyle and Kamilla in Thomas, my middle age, mustache, a bit bitchy (free) doppelganger. At least I know that when I played SurvivorI would be voted out on the eighth day.

However, there are two reasons why the California girls did not change their strategy. Why? First, because Kamilla plays an excellent game. (Based on processing, David, Sai, Kamilla and Eva seem to be those.) The other reason why they don’t play so much defense is that they had never been on the tribal council before. You don’t know how it works. Why? Because they hid in a winner. While I will definitely be right that there is no tribe, I would rather return to the old days with two larger tribes in which really interesting dynamics were allowed to thrive. It is not called hidden; It is called relationships, and that’s why we are here.
