Then new Fang kept loosing, so they brought in the double tribal council to get rid of one of the strong players that wouldn't normally go until after the merge. And on the upcoming episode, they are going to mix it up some more because new Fang still sucks. If both teams had been balanced from the beginning, then it would not make any sense to mix, switch and fuck up the balance. I bet that log rolling challenge was planned for three episodes back, but they choose that easy water polo on intertubes challenge to make it possible for Fang to win. But Fang is just lame and lame tribes aren't good for ratings. There's no way to prove they are rigging the kind of challenges, but if they didn't do it, then all survivor seasons would be the same pagonging story, but in a different location.
Has this ever been proved or are you just speculating
There has got to be a temptation for the TAR producers to say no to NEL or visa versa based on the drama a team brings to the race. Let's face it, Ken/Tina, the divorcees, the frat brothers and Terrance/Sarah are more interesting than watching Nick/Starr and Toni/Dallas. I roll my eyes every time they show some about flirtation between Starr and Dallas because neither one is that stupid to start hooking up during the race. AND who cares if they do after the race.
