Here's how EoE would work if I was in charge.
With a 20 person starting cast, the first 6 to EoE get a Battle Back. Bottom 3 finishers are out, 2nd and 3rd stay on EoE, winner comes back in and the tribes are randomly swapped to 3 teams of 5.
When 4 more players are sent to EoE, Battle Back #2 happens. Again, bottom 3 are out, 2nd and 3rd stay on EoE, and the winner is back in. Winner joins the merge (12 players).
When 4 more are eliminated, the final Battle Back happens. Winner is back in (9 players left) and the other 5 become the first members of the jury.
On weeks without a battle back, EoE players can earn fire tokens, or do other things to influence the game.
With EoE over with 9 players left, there is still lots of game play left. Plus, the EoE battle back players had to endure a lot more to make it back.
