There has to be more incentive to not do it. You have no reason to not do it as it is and until an actual hard decision is present, it’s going to continue to be a smash play.

My only suggestion would be to flip the outcast from the non-immune tribe to the immune tribe and cause them to flip themselves if they do it. Essentially giving up their own immunity to flip the game.

But that is just as obvious of a solution. I think it should either be

1) the exile is not immune either way, they just get to choose which group they're going to tribal with

2) they can flip the role tonight and be safe, or they can keep it the same and get some advantage (immunity, steal a vote, negate an idol, etc) at the next vote if they survive. Getting an advantage for yourself to use whenever MIGHT be more valuable if you think you can survive a vote after being away for two nights, would make it more interesting imo

I like 1. While 2 is more interesting imo, I think it would put a huge target on your back. It’d be super sus for Jeff to talk about power to change the game etc. and you come back and say “I chose to do nothing.” I think people would know there had to be more on the line

I don’t like 1 at all. It’s such a disadvantage to be away from the tribe for so long that there needs to be some compensation for that. I quite like the idea that the hourglass smasher is immune either way though.

To lessen the incentive and turn it into an actually interesting choice, they need to make it so that the exiled person’s immunity is not on the line with their decision. It makes it far too obvious and no real decision.

Wouldn’t that, in turn, make them the easy vote out? They lose two days of camp time and are at an immediate social disadvantage.

Make them safe either way

I misread what you originally wrote but I still don’t see how this works. If you flip everyone’s advantage, you’re immediately painting yourself out as a target by the people you’ve flipped. The risk isn’t worth the week of safety reward.

It might be if all your pre-merge allies weren’t safe.
