Oh don't get me wrong, the way Xander and Evie and Tiff sold it was a must see moment tribal council wise. Xander major padded his resume but he also put a massive target on his back.

I do think that the added complications and advantages in this game has moved the focus from strategic players to players that are good treasure hunters, and players who are not strategic but are deceitful and short term players.

The games gone from alliances, to middle voter power, to voting blocks and now to focusing on blindsides for resume padding and advantage farming.

I honestly think some of the older players, the really dominant ones like Rob and Ambuh, or the Black Widow Society would have eaten this current crew alive.

I think surviver really needs to simplify the game, though I do like the idea of no given supplies to start with creating a sense of delirium.

On a positive note, Its still not really clear who the favorite is because it feels like its going to be the dumbest, laziest water skier, who rides to the final group and then finds the most advantages to get to the final three and sells it by doing an accounting of how many advantages he or she found and used.

But I am actively cheering for Xander now, because that move was brilliant. So he's probably going home.
