It's become a story driven show and the over the top twists almost always handicap a lot of the players. The last few winners have been so weak! Last season had one of the best casts, part of that is because they actually had gamebots like Jesse, Karla, and Cody!
I feel like the winner is very luck-based at this point
When you throw 1000000 twists and advantages, it becomes way too much for anyone to balance and it just becomes a game of who is lucky enough to survive all the chaos
