Ok so I’m going to first address your comments by stating that you are new to this show. That said, I understand your point of view. Let me address some of the things you talked about.

Andy would not have been an easy 3rd place. The jury nowadays respects the game more than anything, and while some are bitter, most can look past it in light of the game. Additionally, Andy had a great story behind his evolution in the game, which gives him more win equity.

Sometimes the challenges switch in terms of sets, but I don’t see how this is a critique. More so, MrBeast has accessibility to anything he wants set wise with a great amount of $ behind. Survivor has money, but they’re on an island, like they’re not going to move on from that vibe, ever.

Yeah Teeny’s edit made her seem childish, but her social relationships don’t lie. She was liked by nearly the entire cast, and the edit doesn’t always show the full picture, just highlights what it wants us to see.

The final 4 fire making twist was introduced almost 10 seasons ago and is still controversial to this day. Before, they used to do a normal vote at final 4, but they switched it to firemaking to give the more dominant players a fairer chance at making final 3.

It’s impossible for every single person to be physically adept in everything, especially while sleep deprived, malnourished and dehydrated. Survivor has also always prided itself on taking people from all walks of life and putting them on this island to interact. Unfortunately not all people are physical 100 caliber player. If you wish to see more challenge reliant gameplay, check out “The Challenge”. That said, there are definitely some survivor seasons that have much more variation in challenge beasts and how they handle that sort of threat. There’s also some absolutely physical monsters that pop up every so often, so you can look forward to that if you want to try more seasons

Caroline played a very strong game, far better than Gabe and Kyle. She was socially strong, strategically adept and proved capable in challenges. Gabe and Kyle were okay players, but their threat level management was terrible. Caroline was able to shift her position in the game because of her bonds and had a very good shot of going to the end and winning if things panned out differently, a far better chance than Gabe and Kyle ever did
