Final Two or Final Three?

For large social games such as Survivor where the primary mechanic is social interaction.

But f2 is literally Bring the Goat

Also mathematically incorrect, you are 33% likely to win an F3 and 50% likely to win an F2.
That's how Jeff Probst would calculate those odds anyways. "A 1 IN 3 SHOT OF WINNING THE GAME!"

I hate you guys for treating my jokes as serious. We all know it's EXTREMELY RARE for people to walk into FTC with actual equal odds to win it. If you guys hate the F3's for their love rockets then I despise the F2 dynamic for making it a race to the bottom and making it a game of who threw hardest but not TOO hardest along with eliminating the social game from the final and most important part of the game. An f4 vote can be affected by social skills and an f3 cannot and to me that just makes the f3 dynamic untenable.

Someone being able to win via F3's because they were able to socially convince their allies not to vote them out is a feature to me, not a bug like some of y'all seem to be arguing.
It's supposed to be the best Social Game and the more voting teamwork F-R-I-E-N-D-S-H-I-P etc is made irrelevant the further we get from that.
Like.. isn't the game getting away from alliances and becoming about idols big moves firemaking etc what people don't like?

I am not an unbiased person arguing this, of course. F3's are much more suited towards someone like me who can barely win challenges to save their life. It actually hits on another problem I have with F3 FICs on the forum which is immunity challenges are very often random and biased towards people like Klick or Drench who are good at flash games/have good reflexes. At least we've moved away from 24-48 hour endurance challenges..
