I have yet to be convinced that changing the teams would break the rules.The premise of the game is two teams compete for rewards and immunity until a merge, then it is every man for himself.
Switching players around between two teams would be perfectly legititmate. It would be briliant, IMO. After two games, the players think they have it all figured out--they came in spouting alliances..there has to be room for change or the game grows stagnant.
I just can't imagine that MB and the lawyers would limtit themselves by making it ironclad that the original tribes are set in stone, especially if they have a tried and true formula to follow.
As long as they don't try to influence the game or change things in midstream, more power to them.
The idea of a temporary swap wouldn't seem to have any impact on how the game is spayed--they've done it before. Even if you look past the hype about the RULES CHANGING FOREVER!!, you have to assume there is a grain of truth in there somewhere.
