Hey everybody, what's going on? Rob Sister-in-O back with this week's Survivor Burning

Question. Very excited to be back with another one. And this week, I want to talk about something

that's on a lot of people's minds. And that is the reward challenge, specifically the

cursed reward challenges on Survivor. This week, we saw Franny's Survivor Game come to an

end after she won a trip to the sanctuary where allegedly good things happen to be

people, but that hasn't always been the case. And she had the opportunity for love. Not

in the form of a showman, but in the form of letters. For Franny, she felt like this

was an opportunity to get something going with a group of women that she wanted to work

with. But ultimately, it ends up being one of the last acts of her game, even Lauren,

who got a letter from Franny, seemed to appreciate it. She ends up being one of the key cogs

in her going home. Now, Franny is not alone in going home after winning a reward, specifically,

to give letters from home at the sanctuary. We just saw the same exact thing happen last

game when he infamously read the line, get that money, baby, as the reason why he had to do it.

Well, in this week's burning question, I want to explore what exactly is going wrong for the

players who win the rewards on Survivor and all of the reasons behind it. Now, first, I want to

highlight that one of the consistent features of modern Survivor, not just in the New era,

is that there are hardly any individual reward challenges. I actually, I couldn't believe it.

Survivor reward challenges in the post-merge have become almost exclusively group challenges

and partner challenges. So I went back through with the help of everybody over at the survivor

wiki. God bless you. Okay. I went through a ton of the seasons over the course of Survivor

history. And I really was surprised to see how much the individual reward challenge
