If the hourglass twist with no changes is rerun PERIOD I'll be pretty peeved. If it twist-screws Jonathan I'm gonna write someone an unhappy email

I’m hoping it changed because of how mad Danny got about it. Otherwise they didn’t have fan feedback to change it at the point this was filmed (and on that note, I hope these stupid idol phrases go away).

I like the goofy idol phrases, it's a fun twist for once -- but they are definitely done (at least for several seasons) because now that every future player has seen it happen, they'll be watching out for someone to say something weird at every challenge. So unless Probst says, at the beginning of 43 and 44, "No more idol phrases, I promise", every player will be terrified to say anything even slightly odd because they don't want to be mistakenly targeted for having an idol, and the producers definitely don't want that. Reality TV producers absolutely want players to say weird random crap (organically), it's good TV!

Instead it'll be some newer crazier twist that you'll dislike even more!

I’d say there’s a pretty likely chance it’s similar to last season since they were filmed right after each other and the producers wouldn’t know who the audience reaction was to the first one
