i think that was more to do with stuff not related to being a returnee my point was that someone who was a first boot is likely a first boot for a reason and thus might not be as "in their depth" as the other members of the merge. i feel like returnees should only exist for people who got screwed by a swap or something, but obviously there's no way to guarantee that without being unfair so it should be done as little as possible. that game was a little different in that you had 6 first boots from very small tribes. unless you meant first boot of the merge? in which case, i would agree. i think merge is a bit late for this.

Returning at Final Five leaves very little opportunity for the returning player to actually play Survivor and prove themselves, meaning if they get to the end they're basically being judged by their EoE play in place of their Survivor play
It feels wrong to have someone potentially win Survivor by not, y'know, playing Survivor. It also feels wrong to bring someone back who doesn't then get to play any Survivor.

It's interesting because I think the fact that this game made it very clear from early on that being voted out is not the end makes a returnee winner feel better than usual on paper. But in practice, I'm not sure the jurors are going to take the premerge as much of a selling point from anyone voted out postmerge. It seems like Lion might've had the best chance of the pack, and he unfortunately left.

You’d think a few returnees would’ve been booted and one slipped through to the end but no, the other players collapsed so hard the returnees got to 50% of the game. A returner really should’ve won based on that alone.

I am waiting to pass judgment on EoE until someone comes back. I think it is quite possible that it falls flat but it's also possible it shakes up the game and makes for a really interesting final few rounds. It all depends on who comes back.

"If you don't count the two recent examples of something satisfying or interesting happening, then nothing satisfying or interesting ever happens!" EDIT: Rey went from first boot to near winner. I mean those are just returnees who made it far, but I never said I found them satisfying. And with the number of returnees in BS, it would have been remarkable if none of them did make it far.

I agree with everyone else about the edge of extinction. I might be okay with an eliminated player who comes in at merge winning the game, but there's a big difference between that and someone missing 80% of the merge.
Also, are we not going to be able to see the jury forum?
