I don't think Anneliese and Benji are mutually exclusive, especially with both Rob and Amber being on Winners at War.

Fair point, but I don't think Australian Survivor, which has a different approach to casting, would go the same route with a larger casting pool, even if a brother/sister deal wouldn't be as unbreakable of an alliance as a husband/wife. You can't divorce your sibling. There wouldn't be the same potential life-ruining implications.

The thing is that Sarah did play really cutthroat. They just cut it all from the edit so we got things like "I'm gonna play like a criminal" without any examples of it.

The edit of Lame Changers was horrendous for a different reason: They never explained why people were threats, and instead just told us. It made it hard to follow because it didn't make any sense.

The problem with modern Survivor (and Big Brother), and it plays into the edit of Ausvivor, is that the fans dont root for good television anymore. Fans have become so single-minded about needing the best player to win, and they get super disappointed when it doesnt happen.

There's a reason why that GoFundMe for King Luke happened - because the fans were all upset about him losing. "Waahh waahh my favorite didn't win and he should have! TAKE MY MONEY!" Luke should donate over half of that sum to help other families like his. And I did think that maybe they made Pia's winner's edit so obvious so people wouldn't be so upset about King Luke getting 4th, but alas, it didn't help, and instead ruined the season.

I think the source of that problem is an evolution of Survivor that was unintentional, with the way Hantz was edited as the clear protagonist of Samoa and people got upset when his stealthier ally took it from him when he insulted the jury. Ever since, they've wanted to prevent that "travesty" (hint: It isn't one) and so has Probst. It is killing the show and I've lost all interest in being a part of the fandom.
