LAST EDITED ON 11-08-08 AT 06:21 PM (EST)It's lame, in that it tends to make the game a little too unpredictable.
I don't mind it too much, because it would've been really, really, really, really, really, really boring to watch the Onion Alliance pick off everyone post-merge. As a viewer, it makes interesting television, to say the least.
It was stoopid for the Onions to not cut Susie a deal after voting off Dan. Instead, they threw three votes at her and picked a fight the following evening. This is Survivor Strategy 101, here. Have a fake sub-alliance cut a Final 3 deal and get another person on your "team." If nothing changes and you go to TC, vote them off anyway. A delusionally loyal member is a good alliance member.
Pooky is the Mole.
