We watched every episode of Survivor 46.
It was good all the way down to the end. The final three. Then the jury picked the winner at the final tribal council. That’s where it went wrong. They picked the winner based on something that wasn’t even part of the game. The “jury” awarded the title of Sole Survivor to the player that needed the money most, not the one that played the best game. Outwit, outplay, outlast. That’s what Survivor is purported to be about. It doesn’t say anything about who needs the money for a fresh start.
I think Survivor needs to add a new feature: jury instructions before final tribal council. Remind the people who just played and lost what the contest is supposed to be about.
