Wouldn't have made a huge difference. Clubs have worked out the bidding system; they trade out valuable picks for futures and accumulate a stack of late picks to match bids.
It's long overdue that Mark Burnett intervenes and hits the reset button on the show. They've strayed so far from the original concept of survival.
Probst becoming EP has been disastrous. He's turned the game into a circus of endless advantages and format changes, none of which have improved...
Enough with the bloody advantages!!!
One of the best casts in years but all the focus on advantages is suffocating the game! Tonight's episode is one of the worst episodes of Survivor in a long time.
Just let the players play! Enough with the convoluted nonsense stealing airtime from the...
Especially if it's the exact same dilemma each week. Are they seriously going to flood the game with dozens of extra votes?
The "dilemma" only works if people don't know what decision they have to make, once separated from the other player. We're at episode 2 and players have already gamed the...
100% agreed. Can't stand that girls alliance, all 3 are unlikable.
If they boot Xander next (which seems likely -- he's a dead man walking after that "advantage" and I can't see the other clues being found before the next challenge) then that tribe deserves to suffer the consequences of their...
One big positive I'll give this season is that I'm loving the diverse cast!
Just a shame production are so insistent on throwing in these dumb advantages when the social dynamics were already interesting as is.
Exact same situation as the recent AU Survivor.
I feel like they've completely lost sight of what made Survivor great: the core strategic gameplay and the social dynamics.
Probst seems to think that throwing in a thousand new advantages each season somehow makes things more interesting. It really doesn't.
All the focus on new...
The disadvantage to Xander with that idol seems ridiculously unfair. What happens if nobody at the other camps finds the same clue? What happens if they merge into one tribe before all 3 separate clues are found? What if one tribe refuses to open it, after Eevy spilled the beans about the rules...
More Clarkson, less Jack Riewoldt, Fox.
One is a scholar of the game and compelling to watch, the other is overexposed and makes you reach for the remote.
Clock counting down and everyone in the Melbourne room just sitting there doing nothing, not touching their laptops. What gives?
EDIT: LOL, the "pick was in" when nobody even touched their laptop.
Gifted 4 first-round priority picks plus all their Academy players for free until 2022, as a reward for their stupidity.
Maybe they should remove their cap on footy department spending as well, so they can hire more geniuses like the guy who delised Jarryd Lyons and traded pick 2 for Lachie Weller.
In fairness, with the rare exception, changing to a final 3 in the US version has really just resulted in even more goats being dragged to the end and big players getting blindsided even earlier post-merge.
I doubt players like Luke & Harry would've made it near the final 4 if this was modern...
Whoever is directing this coverage must be drunk. That's the second time they've cut to some irrelevant replay while play has resumed and they've missed the goal.
Not that unusual for a government agency. There's a process that needs to be followed before the paperwork is lodged requesting a suspension. They need to dot their i's and cross their t's to ensure all protocol has been followed. There's huge legal ramifications at stake.
And there would be...
So Willie just tampered with his urine sample for the fun of it? Modern players are thoroughly educated on this topic. It's their responsibility to ensure they comply with the code; they sign up to it.
If you start showing leniency to players caught tampering with their urine sample, everyone...
