The (Lack of) Naming Merged Tribes

There isn’t much time for me to write this post so I’m not going to do much of a post. That’s just right for not much of a donkey, I mean, human. It seems like some classic parts of Survivor keep getting either cut from the show or become less important as the show goes on. For instance, I do not remember the names of any of the merged tribes of recent seasons.

I addressed in a previous post how it seems like tribes don’t mean much of anything anymore. They used to mean everything throughout the whole game where the members of the merged tribe would still focus on who they were before the merge. While I have not yet been able to catch up on my notes about Survivor which would better paint a light on more of this on recent seasons (I want to catch up to at least Millennials versus Gen X if not until Winners at War), it does not seem like an issue anymore. This could be a good thing, but it seems like we don’t even know what tribes are what. 

Basically nowadays, we wouldn’t know the names of the merged tribes most of the newer seasons and you have to wonder why they just don’t call them all merged tribe since we never get much about why a tribe has the name it does after the merge anymore and it doesn’t seem to matter. I think that there should be more on the name of merged tribes today or just don’t have one at all. For now, this is Adam Decker, signing off.
