How do you think the game would play out if the tribe members were not allowed to discuss who they were going to vote off and why.

Let's say that a person was allowed to talk about other members of the tribe (with each other), but were never allowed to actually say who they were going to vote for.

Would it make the game harder/easier to play or just more interesting/boring???

Just a thought...

I think that was the way it started out in S1 with Pagong- they voted their concience, it seemed to be based on who they liked or disliked, not on strategy, but after Rich, Rudy, Sue & Kelly figured out that an alliance could beat anyone, that concept seemed to be gone.

It seemed like Kucha in S2 was kind of like that too, but now the players in S3 have seen the earlier games, and are so blatant about strategy it is really a different game.

I wonder how you would enforce that- if you are seen on camera discussing strategy, would you get a penalty, or what?
It just seems like it is human nature that people want to gang together to vote- I think it helps them not to feel guilty abot voting someone off if they are just going along with the group.

Like I said in another thread, I think that the strategy element is a huge part of what makes the series interesting. Seeing who will ally with whom and what they will tell the others is a large part of the program.

I guess they need to statagize, however, it takes some of the fun out of anticipating the TC when we already sort of know who's getting the boot. Maybe more judicious editing so as to keep the viewers a little more in the dark would add to the suspense. I like the feeling of clinging to the edge of my seat until the final vote is counted.
