Survivor 49 - Watching? Thoughts?

[DisneyWorldMimi]

I've been watching and love yellow Hina team. They work together on every challenge.
Not a fan of the blue team. I feel bad that they continually lose. But they don't work as a team.
I don't really like Savannah on the red team. There is something about her that just makes me not like her.

When did they stop giving them rice at the beginning? Was it starting after COVID? I was watching before COVID and have been watching when they started back up with this new program type. I don't like this set up.

Boston Rob (who lives in the Pensacola area) was in "Deal or No Deal Island," and he got penalized for looking at another person's puzzle when they completed it. They didn't put the cover over it, so he looked at it. So he ended up being eliminated at the finale.

I don't like them withholding flint and a machete until a team wins something. All is does is weaken the weak teams and strengthen the strong ones. Over and over, we see the team without flint go back to tribal again and again. It seems like Sophie was really suffering last night. That wasn't entertaining or kind.

I agree. In my opinion just another way of production trying to influence the outcome

I wish they had only two tribes at the beginning. I would love for them to divide up the blue team to merge with the other two tribes so some could go "vibe" but mainly so they could all eat.
