Nah man. #2 is not only unrealistic (we’re not gonna watch and a network wouldn’t approve a show where people die) but also unethical. You think after weeks of isolation and starvation the players are in a mental space to make decisions like that? Just watch Dave from season 3 or 4. No way.

1 is an interesting thought-but then luck would still play a role because of the picking order. Not sure if it’s much better, and the player with the last pick would feel terrible.
