What an honor.
one thing you would change about survivor that would severely impact the game and it sounds like there are many things that you would change final
two by far is like number one with a bullet i think anyone who loves fire making is just misguided um that's my take you know i could i could go on i have like a million reasons why first of all final four fire making decision when has that ever been interesting since like chris and and maybe one other time it is we did not vote for that It's a no-brainer.
Every single time you put the person who's best at making fire against the person who's the biggest threat.
They all understand because obviously what else would you do in that situation? Like no one feels betrayed ever.
And compare that to every season with a final two, the final four decisions, like nine times out of 10 bangers.
still the option for fire too, right? Like that's already integrated.
And
then it's actually, cool and meaningful god i lose my mind thinking about it and then of course on top of that like you're you're incentivizing people there are seasons where four people are all correctly and that's that's the key word they're correctly going to the final four together that should never be the case because if your odds if you're an average fire maker your odds are never worse than 50 50 you know if you expect to win a fire making competition 50 of the time if we just simplify it a little bit You have a chance to win immunity, a chance to win fire.
A lot of people are just going to take the easy road and walk to the end holding hands and skipping and singing.
