Survivor Recap: Hands Tied
In light of this recent episode, it has become clearer than ever that my previous misjudgment regarding SITD was unfounded. This incident underscores for me that I’ve been correct about most other aspects in the new game era. This episode demonstrated how elements we (many fans) dislike post-Winners at War, such as the game’s instability and an individual’s excessive influence over a tribe’s fate, can lead to crisis situations within the game itself. A person on a four-member tribe should not have the power to decide who gets eliminated. Those who uphold the integrity and philosophy of the game – that it is the tribe, not one individual, that decides winners and losers – should not support these changes.
