I mean, he’s been EP for at least half the seasons, right? I can’t remember when I first saw it on the credits, but it’s been a while. Maybe it’s run it’s course.
41 was always going to be botched. Amateur cast, COVID quarantine, COVID delay, faux creativity to keep things exciting, shorter game, etc. Even when I was binge watching old seasons, returning players always created a more exciting season than a fresh, amateur group who lacks proper strategy.
It was a really tough spot to have to follow up the GOAT cast with a $2 mil prize, even if the fire tokens caused it to not be as great as it could have been.
Disclaimer: This has been the first season I’ve watched live. Maybe that’s creating some bias. During COVID with the lack of new shows, my fiancée and I got hooked on survivor. We watched seasons 20 and 28, since they were on Netflix. Then hit seasons 1 and 2 and jumped ahead to 11 when the hidden idols began. Then watched 11-40, skipping 20 and 28 since we had already seen them.
