thing has really limited their ability to tell the story. There’s a tribal almost every night, which means a challenge almost every day which leaves little time for gameplay. They’re trying to make up for it with these outside sob stories to help push us towards certain players, but it’s not quite working. Both of the last two winners seemed to come out of nowhere because there just wasn’t enough footage to build them up with.

Not a fan of the condensed format, even though it’s probably only noticeable to longtime viewers.
