Will Survivor III Africa suck? I suspect that Mark Burnett and his production staff are reasonably content with the status quo as nothing seems to have changed in preparation for the fall season. There will still be 16 contestants divided into two tribes at the start. They will still eliminate six people prior to the merge resulting in the final group of ten. The same problem will remain lingering from the first two intallments. Once one tribe gets the upper hand, the other tribe might as well go home because they will be picked off one by one. Ironically, both sides have had five people remaining at the time of the tribal merge. In the first installment of the show only the Tagi tribe had an alliance in place so it was expected they would control the game. By the time of the second show both tribes were organized but the dissemination of information on prior votes cast was all it took to tip the balance of power. Again, the end result was the same. In order to shake things up and counter-act this defect I propose that Burnett start with 3 teams of 6 people. Assuming that it is important to maintain the same time line then the first installment of the show requires each team to shed one member. |
