Taskmaster

As we continue with the new twists and ways of doing Survivor, there has been something that the most very recent seasons have been doing. This started from Edge of Extinction onward. There has been some sort of twist that can affect a player or a group of players, if not all of them.

This is what I was getting at in one of my posts when I was implying that reward challenges were going away so that these various tasks or whatever can be done instead. They have some people doing a twist of some sort that relates to a task that needs done.

It was in Ghost Island that this was sort of done and horribly done with the people at the island doing the dumb game of chance for an advantage or, even dumber: getting nothing at all for no good reason. But after what seemed like it should have been a fluke of a onetime event, the producers decided instead to fine tune what didn’t work into things that also didn’t work as well, but could get more of the fans talking and more of the players involved in this.

With Edge of Extinction, there was enough going on there the first time that affected the people not in the game with the weird twists and stuff. Then, it Island of the Idols, you saw a lot more of people doing stuff there that could affect the game. It went really crazy when they had Edge of Extinction combined with the fire tokens. People competed for more fire tokens and more stuff kept happening that had an effect on the game that largely related to doing tasks. Now, we even have the summit where people even know how to help others in the game through the twist there.

I’m honestly not sure what else there is to add or say about this. Note that I will not have most of the new Survivor season on Thursdays after all in the posts since my church will have an earlier Lenten service that will not affect watching Survivor and is one that I can go to. This will be the last post of the hiatus so stay tuned because next week, I should be back the premiere of the new season of Survivor. For now, this is Adam Decker, signing off.
