I think part of it for me is that I just do not understand why people are so enamored with Wendy, and Wardog, who I find genuinely entertaining, gets a lot of the backlash.

I don't think it's a mystery why you prefer Wardog at all.

There's been some discussion on RHAP this week about the exact mechanics of how someone will return from Edge and how it'll probably just be a regular endurance challenge but that it might be cool to bring back the vote-someone-back-in mechanic from the Outcasts in Pearl Islands. It made me think that the most interesting challenge would be a hybrid of the two: bring back the coconut chop challenge (i.e. answer questions correctly to "chop" other players in the challenge, 3 chops and you're out)!

Making the re-entry a straight vote incentivizes weird strategies like purposefully wasting your vote on someone you think won't get a lot of votes, while making the re-entry a straight challenge (endurance or otherwise) will always inevitbably favor one particular body type over another which feels inherently unfair to the people without that body type that just wasted 2 weeks of their life starving on an island with nothing to do. But the coconut chop challenge combines the best of both worlds: no one body type is favored, having social capital is worth more than anything else, and it plays out in real time (so you don't get the weird thing where 3 people throw their vote away on Lillian and she wins a slim plurality of the votes and comes back). Bring back the chop!

I think I recall people saying they voted for Lillian to actually vote her out of the pre-jury vacation with them :classiclol:

Stop kicking up poo poo, then. It's okay for someone to express a tattoo is dumb without it being bullying. I think Brandon Hantz's tattoos are dumb, are you gonna fight me for two pages?

He's right. The guy perfectly reasonably expressed and explained his criticism of Wardog's tattoo as not a big deal, something that bugs him...your continued arguing with him about it is weird.

This would be a lot of fun. Whatever they do id much prefer if it has some voting (by parchment or by chop) involved.

Wardog is boring Tony with a dumb nickname and dumber tattoos.

Wendy is cute and nuts and not good at Survivor.

I also hope that cannibalism is the producers� plan for Expunged Island.

I feel like when we get to the point where they are supposed to come back into the game there's going to be way more people than the producers expected remaining.

Or maybe they don't add any extra rice for new people. So maybe it becomes Lord of the Flies :getin:

They should base the daily rice ration on how much other food they gathered the previous day.

Yes, this. It's not a particularly great season, but it's a decent enough panacea.

My only worry with the current trend is that even if both boots tonight are OG Kama, we'll go into merge not really knowing who half these people are.

Spoilers: This season ends early because Wardog gets voted off and every other player, including the jury, all stand up and say "No, I'm Wardog" before walking off.
