The fact that they're all Survivor players and winners doesn't count.

Hint: It's age-related.

(Who’s the better politician Sarah or Nick?)

Are moves like these actually what it takes to form stronger alliances on survivor or are they easy to see through. I know she said she did it just to be nice to Nick but I think even she knew that it was a game move. Did this move help or hurt her game? Thank you for any discussion.

Final Three: Ends the game one round early, makes the endgame more alliance based, and makes big threats get voted out earlier than they otherwise would be

Forced Final Four Firemaking: Basically the same thing as the Final Three, basically luck based, this and the F3 were kneejerk reactions to production not getting the types of winners they wanted

Open Forum FTC Format: Kneejerk reaction to Kaoh Rong's FTC, makes the finale feel more fake and soulless than actually personable

Staying in Fiji Permanently: Sacrifices the unique vibe of every location in exchange for themes, only for them to ditch that entirely as well... can make it hard for seasons to stand out in any meaningful way

There's a lot more we could talk about, like Earn The Merge, Shot In The Dark, and 26 Days, but those are the four most notable I could think of. What do you think?
