Alleged changes to Tribal Council
Crazydog | Thursday, February 28, 2002 - 08:30 am     In a TVGuide article, Mark Burnett said that previous votes will no longer be the tiebreaker. He said it was too mathematical. I think this is great, it was fine in the early versions because they didn't fully understand how to use the previous votes strategically, but I fully agree with Mark that it became "annoying" in SIII to see the people try to count votes or attract votes etc. It was also annoying that they would revote, knowing full well no one would be spineless enough to change their vote (oh except for you Kelly Wigglesworth). What then will be the tiebreaker? In SI didn't they say it would go to a physical challenge if it was tied twice? I can see how this could make things more interesting.... but then it seems to me that each faction would always put up the weakest opposing tribemember. I think the tiebreaker should be either physical or mental, but the tribe doesn't know in advance. In the event of a tie, Jeff spins a colored coconut or something like that, and that will determine whether or not the tiebreak is physical or mental. This would definitely add to the unpredictability of the game. Oh, and the article talks about how they showed the S4 people the "switch" episode from S3 the night before they got on the plane to go over there. I thought I remembered reading or hearing something when the switch episode aired that "S4 is already in the middle of filming so they won't know how to react to it or anticipate it". Maybe I am thinking of something else. |
Discoinferno | Friday, March 01, 2002 - 06:33 am     Crazydog, I read that too about the switch not airing before they left... unless they got to see it early |
Gina8642 | Saturday, March 02, 2002 - 02:18 pm     Disco and Crazy Dog, Not sure, but I think I just read in Peter's comments that he was wondering how quickly they would make a switch. It sounded to me like he knew there was a possibility of a switch. Sounds like MB/CBS is trying to shake up the Pagonging strategy a bit - not sure it will work, but he needs to try. That show was just too familiar on Thursday night. |
Willnu | Saturday, March 02, 2002 - 03:28 pm     As far as a tiebreaker goes, how about the two people in contention go hand-to-hand? I think that would be good for some interest! LOL |
