I am ready for a #SurvivorBlindside and a reunion show so embarrassing that I’ll feel ashamed watching it in my own home.

Man, this season sucks so much that it's tearing the podcast world apart. Stephen and Rob were practically yelling at each other on the most recent Know It Alls, and David Bloomberg and Jessica Lewis repeatedly went off on twenty minute tangential arguments about Laurel on what was supposed to be "Why Kellyn Lost." I hope at least both Dom and Wendell make FTC so the winner isn't a completely foregone conclusion, but Ghost Island has consistently found a way to disappoint me since Chris Noble went home, so I'm not holding out too much hope.

I don't think the show's problems over the past few seasons are as simple as "too much strategy" or "not enough characters" or anything. To me the issue is the current game is too unwieldy to really strategize around. Advantages with unknowable powers, very easy to find idols in high quantity*, and frequent tribe swaps (even post-merge!) are very hard to strategize around and just result in players playing conservatively to avoid getting caught in the chaos. What's the point of deviating from Naviti strong when you are going to swap the next day onto an almost certainly majority-Naviti tribe? Why go through some crazy plan of trying to flush Dom and Wendell's idols when both will be immediately re-hidden and probably found by the exact same people? The wacky game mechanics actively suppress a lot of strategy and, to make matters worse, have to be explained and re-explained in confessional taking away screentime from developing characters. I don't think Season 36 (and 35, 34, etc.) hasn't had too much or too little strategy, it's just had a lot of people talking about how they're ready to make move X but can't because of reason Y (which is usually directly or indirectly related to new game mechanic Z).

I agree with that as well, but a quick nod to Sarah who utterly dominated Game Changers with unsettlling levels of emotional manipulation moreso than with gamebot strategy or advantages (though that's not to absolve Cirie getting screwed out of the game by mass numbers of advantages colliding inc. Sarah's legacy adv).

That's some awkward staging. Do they have to walk down the stage when they get voted out live?

So after that confessional Laurel just confirms that she's one of the worst players ever right? Also Wendell has guaranteed himself at worst a fire building competition for finals

I love the overconfidence the extra vote brings out. Get rid of idols and leave votes in the tree holes.
