    I believe Zander won but because of minority movement they gave it Erica.I believe in women equality but I do not believe in giving something to someone not playing, working or winning. I will not be seeing this show ever again.

    I get so annoyed at Jeff Probst for intentionally interfering during Tribal council. He might as well say,"Hey Joe, you're on the bottom, if you don't play that Idol tonight you're toast."
    I know that asking leading questions is part of his job, but giving away game secrets or exposing secret alliances or strategy is not. As far as Advantages are concerned, any that rely solely on luck should be eliminated. Let the players. create their own luck. Changing or shaking up tribes periodically is luck enough. Finding an Idol is part skill and part luck . No one should be evicted without due process. I would like.to see the top three competitors that finish each challenge be tethered together until Tribal council. This could create some game strategy drama if one of the three are not aligned with the other two. This would be a great twist at the merge. Throwing comps would come into play. But players would have that choice, not Lady Luck.

    I marked I don’t care since I believe love or hate the new advantages isn’t the best choices. Clearly there are some advantages that have been beneficial for a more exciting game. The hourglass one for ericka though was completely unfair. The contestants worked hard for immunity and reward and were completely blindsided with her option to switch the results which looking at the advantage in an unbiased view ericka chose correctly. If the contestants knew of a potential game changer advantage prior to competing then they could at least chose to win or lose intentionally giving them some control of their situation.
    I would hope that a thorough review of what works to improve the game strategy and play and what puts contestants at an unfair advantage by lack of control which could take away effort by the contestants since they will start to depend on luck of the draw versus effort and strategy.
    I have watched all seasons and look forward to each one having even thought of applying. A separate issue has popped up that has me more bothered than advantages is the “wokeness” that has been apparent in this season. Survivor has ALL people apply and they are chosen to compete but for some reason all of a sudden people of color or nationality “must” win. All people can and do win. There are examples of it throughout Survivor history but clearly Survivor is feeling pressure from outside influences to adjust the intention and emphasis of the contestants to play to this “wokeness”.
    Let Survivor be Survivor played with the rules of Outwit Outplay Outlast. Add or subtract idols and advantages minus unfair ones but start tinkering with “wokeness” any more and I know that this will be my last season.
