I like it; a constant paranoia generator, and a reminder that you're throwing the dice. But not a guarantee by any stretch. I'd love to see HIIs go away completely, and be replaced by advantages. "This advantage gives you two draws if you choose to spend your emergency die. If you draw the 'safe' on your first draw, the bag will be reset, and you may draw again. If you draw 'safe' a second time, you may bank that 'safe' and play it, only on yourself, at any tribe council until there are only six players in the game.' Or a second die; you can only spend one die per TC. You may transfer this die to another player. Or assignable penalties. "You may spend this token to give a player of your choice disadvantage in the next challenge. This token must be played at the challenge, in the open." So you can hamper a rival, but there will be consequences.

I thought there was always island loving, and that contestants have access to a medical tickle trunk full of condoms (and pads/tampons, sunscreen, whatever prescription medicines they need, contact lenses, etc etc.) (ISTR that the sunscreen often doesn't get used as it either attracts bugs or gets too much sand stuck in it or some such.)

I like the idea of “there are no advantages, just twists with upsides and downsides, choose.” I want to see it extended. Like, the whole “winner gets immunity, AND fishing gear, runner up gets immunity, AND fishing gear, loser doesn’t even get flint, gently caress you” is just terrible. Here are three rewards: immunity, fishing gear, rice and beans. First tribe to complete the puzzle chooses one. Second tribe chooses from the remaining two. Last tribe gets whatever’s left.

Right, so, if you can’t vote at any tribal council due to the weird immunity idol, how does steal a vote work? You steal it, but can’t play it yourself, so the only benefit is depriving the other person of a vote? I’d rather have seen that three person nighttime thing be Jeff roll out and say “welcome to tribal council, where one of you will be voted out.”

You know, based on her official contestant bio, I thought she would be absolutely insufferable. But unlike lots of other players, I haven’t seen her state that she’s basing her gameplay on racial or gender lines.

Yeah, immunity should be inviolable. Once you have immunity, you're safe at the next tribal council. Period. If you have a hidden immunity idol, sure, somebody else might have a 'steal an idol' type advantage, but the moment you say "I'm playing this," it's in play, and that's that. This sort of 'lol no you don't have immunity now because of something you had no way of foreseeing, or even knowing was a possibility' gimmick just turns the game into straight-up coin flips. I feel like it violates the fundamental premise of the game.

I like the 'math doesn't really apply, because Monty is there to make an entertaining game show, not a practical problem in applied mathematics' answer to the question. https://ima.org.uk/4552/dont-switch-mathematicians-answer-monty-hall-problem-wrong/ But here's a great breakdown of the original Marilyn Vos Savant solution: https://priceonomics.com/the-time-everyone-corrected-the-worlds-smartest/ Monty Hall posted:"[After I opened a door with a goat], they'd think the odds on their door had now gone up to 1 in 2, so they hated to give up the door no matter how much money I offered...The higher I got, the more [they] thought the car was behind [the other door]. I wanted to con [them] into switching there. That's the kind of thing I can do when I'm in control of the game. You may think you have probability going for you when you follow the answer in her column, but there's the psychological factor to consider."

It makes me sad that people are willing to suffer more for, for less money. 500k these days is life changing not because it enables you to buy a mansion or quit your job, but because it might just allow you do something that we'd regard as so basic and automatic, like own a house, or pay off student loans.

I still think that the game rewards victory with move victory. "The winner gets immunity, PLUS food. Losers go to tribal council." I'd like to see this. "Want to know what you're playing for? Immunity, a steak dinner, and a tarp. Winner gets first pick of one of those three. Second place gets pick of the left over two. Third place gets the remaining item."
