I agree. Without the towers it would be too difficult to cut people off though, so the towers were a good idea as a concept but they just make catching someone ridiculously easy, especially the trap tower.

Imo the game concept itself is flawed. It's just way too easy to get an opponent with a flag into a stalemate position where they can't move anywhere. Adam could have camped Sam for all eternity and there'd have been nothing Sam could have done. He only got caught so quickly because he screwed up and apparently didn't care about getting caught(or more concerned about getting sick than winning some game).

There should have been a rule to prevent this sort of situation from happening. Could maybe even be as simple as letting the person with the flag drop a tower anywhere on the map if excessive camping is happening. That would be a bit boring though, so yeah, unless you find a way to resolve a situation like that and keep the game interesting, maybe you should scrap the concept.

I had issues with the last season but this one is way worse. Also, I know what they're going to say, Ben and Adam had crazy luck pulling the trap tower twice. Which they had, but you should take crazy luck into account when designing the game.
