So you're saying Parvati is weak then? If I recall, she won the "stand with your arm over your head for a really long time" challenge, which
means she dominated it. And the challenge does matter because it's part of the "variety" of challenges that I'm sure you'd want to see
on the show, giving everyone a chance.

Now it caters to the "Big Brother" fan, gossipy unathletic wimps, and puts a priority on "diversity" instead of "quality" thanks to the increasingly-retarded casting directors. Fun fact: I watch Big Brother for the armchair psychology it brings when you force a group of people to compete for a cash prize large enough for them to do various amoral things but small enough for us to realize that it's really not worth it. That and the Chenbot. <3 Topic: Along with the HII, supply Exile with a hidden stun gun. Make it useable at ANY time except for when they're physically casting their vote (i.e. use it during a challenge or when someone goes up to vote or when someone is going to play an idol). *poof* Pre-merge just got interesting. |

If you know anything about statistics you'd know luck gives an advantage to worse competitors, and a disadvantage to better competitors. By the time Parvati won her challenge, half the players were already gone. She was weak and lucky. Michelle was strong and unlucky. The best case scenario is having a challenge like "stand with your arm over your head for a really long time" or "eat gross shit" or "puzzles and puzzles" with all the players, at the start of the game. Then, and ONLY then, can you determine who is weak, and who is strong. The players who kick ass get rewarded. The players who fail get penalized, and one of the failures gets voted off. It does not matter which one. |

You don't realize it determines everything in the game, you don't understand it ntroduces luck, and you will never figure out how luck gives an advantage to worse competitors, and a disadvantage to better competitors. Ever.

You are a douchbag because you didn't consider the inital team selection to be a legitimate competition

Do you consider the competitions more important or the actual voting stratagies? Michelle had a chance to warm up to her tribe but she chose not to.

And the types of challenges and when they occur are luck too. There's no way to completely remove luck from any game, even sports. Under the current
system, luck is reduced because the game focuses more on strategy than challenges, and as a result, the winner is 15/16 times a player that really deserved to
win (Amber being the only acception). Your system sucks because it essentially puts a stronger player's fate entirely in challenges, whereas under the
current system, a stronger player can use strategy to work around a loss.

Why are you saying Parvati had nobody to compete against? Your beloved Ozzy was still there wasn't he? So was Jason? And Erik?

Hey Artiee, you know how Fiji was a bad season? Well there is a thread going on now, about the slip n' slide challenge that will happen tonight. In it,
people point out how Fiji had good challenges, but was a bad season. Sounds a little like your idea huh? I guess challenges don't make a season good. From
what you are saying I would think that having great challenges would have made Fiji great. Guess I was wrong.

Wow, Artiee was RIGHT. The weaklings on Kota all ganged up on, and voted out, Ace. Oh wait...no they didn't. They voted out one of their two weakest
players, Paloma. Huh...that's so ODD.
