As stated in a prior post, the reason it is no good for F4 (with one having individual immunity) is because only one survivor would be drawing a stone...so that makes no sense. With a F6, three survivors would be drawing stones where one would be purple so that does make sense.

Why do you think Chris would go in detail about an "assumed" purple rock tie-breaker? And do you think arguably one of the best Survivors of all time (Tom Westman) would base his fate in the game on an "assumption" someone made the season prior??? Perhaps this is bias because I feel Tom Westman was the best Survivor ever to play the game, but I believe Tom is way too sharp and too savvy of a player to "assume" that fate.

The reason we haven't been the purple rock since season four is because with the twist in the rule that the two involved in the tie are exempt from drawing the stones it would deter any possibility of a tie (except F4 where it wouldn't apply). And up to now it has served its purpose.
