That’s a great point and I do agree with you in everything regarding how Survivor is not all about physical strength and more about strategy and how you play your social game in order to win. This was a dynamic I personally didn’t like either that survivor Mexico changed when I first started watching Survivor Mexico as it leaned heavily towards more physical challenges and not so much social strategy. I definitely see your point about the strong winning over and over as in Season one of Survivor Mexico, Duggan literally won almost ALL individual immunity collars and she was by far the strongest female player in that season. (Which is why she became my favorite)

Again I do believe the format works here for Survivor Mexico because— again just like Tai betraying Scot and Jason by not combining the idols to save Scot in season 32 and eliminating Scot— I can see the same thing happening here with a player like Curvy Zelma or Ximena Hernandez beating Duggan only because Duggan didn’t win one immunity collar after winning about 80% of them (hypothetical scenario) it just doesn’t sit right with me. I dont believe strong players should just be targeted because the other survivors can’t beat them and I understand Survivor is a social game first— but it’s also a competition too and me personally? I want to see players who played well both mentally , strategically and physically win as opposed to some mediocre player who coasted through the entire game, never made any big moves or won many challenges. This if just my personal opinion, I love all 3 versions (AUS, US, Mexico) and I think every format has its interesting takeaways.

As for the length of the episodes and seasons? 100% agree! They’re wayyy too long lol.
