even more suspense.I too felt that "mystery" buff could just mean "unknown" new tribal buff. But 2 things kept me from continuing to question it. (and now a third)
1. The fact that it went from "new" buff to "mystery" buff, in the original captions, leading naturally to a belief there are two distinct buffs available.
2. The fact that there are currently an uneven amount of survivors to split the tribes evenly. Boostered by the tease that 1 player feels all alone in the game.
3. The new captions. While distinctly "unreadable" as clues. the fact they altered them at all lends itself to the belief that there is some productorial shenanigans going on. Are they covering something up?
I have to say... a tribe swap is not a twist. Not any more. It's predicted (heck even counted on) by survivors every season for years. So the "twist" has to be something new.
The promos provide the set-up...
So... even if the "mystery" buff is not as prevalent in the plate, I do believe there will be 1 buff that differs from the rest.
