Tribal itself is so unbearably bad. That is something Jeff could definitely change overnight if he wanted.

Nowadays, Tribal is people talking out of their ass, hoping they say something "cool" that will make it into the edit. Which means weird analogies, bizarre tangents, referencing Survivor 101, etc. and no actual serious talk. Why, you ask? Because Jeff likes it that way, especially the self-aggrandizing he does, acting like this is a replacement for his failed talk show. I honestly don't pay attention during Tribal anymore. It's devolved into airtime filler. Modern Survivor would be better with more camp life scenes and going to Tribal just to vote. We get enough "Jeffing" at challenges as it is, and it's even worse at the "After Show" (and having that immediately after the winner reveal is in poor taste anyway).

Part of the problem is also the lack of diversity in casting. By having so many gamebots and not enough people who have no clue what they're doing, we don't get scumslips that cause people to get paranoid at Tribal much anymore. At least Australian Survivor delivered in droves with that this year (I have two episodes left to watch), and Survivor SA does it right since the gamebots lose their damn minds.
