A Possibly Better Final Four Twist

Ever since the Survivor producers for some dumb reason got rid of what we were used to at the final four and decided to stick with it forever. If there was something wrong with the old format, it would have been that too many people got eliminated at the final four that could make good winners. Thus, they changed the format. But using the South African version of this show as a starting point for what they could do instead of the other format.

What do they do in the South African version? Around the time of the finale, they don’t have the usual immunity challenge. Instead, they do a different sort of twist instead. The final four would compete in an elimination challenge. Winners get to stay and become finalists. Loser gets sent straight to the jury. Would this be a good idea? Well, let’s see how it might be better.

You see, with the current final four format, there is the standard immunity challenge that one person wins. Then, they choose someone to be safe while the other two people compete to stay in the game. Thus, an elimination challenge happens only it is more of a limited basis and not entirely in a far way. If they wanted a fairer way, instead of doing a sort of fake out and making a limited number of people do this while the loser of an immunity challenge is safe just because the winner wants them to be, you could do a challenge that’s equal instead of the current way.

Would this idea work? I guess we don’t know for sure. I’d rather them go back to the old way of how they did final fours or even go back to just standard final threes. Of course, that would go back to how they had a different problem instead of the current one. But they can’t just change things and have there be a new problem that only succeeds in getting rid of an old one.

I don’t think that they should keep changing Survivor. Can you imagine if the twist in Kaoh Rong where they voted out a jury member was used again? But would going back to the old way solve anything? If they want to try a twist out, they should an elimination challenge at the final four between all of the people instead of a second, run-off challenge that only includes half of the final four. Of course, I would rather them not do either and just have the regular vote like they used to.

That’s about it for this blog post. There’s not much else to say so I hope that you see what could be a good idea or another bad one. Would you ever want to see this twist used? I think that it might work if only they feel the need to change something. For now, this is Adam Decker, signing off.
