The new Open Era cast and rule tweaks were supposed to shake Survivor out of autopilot. Some nights feel electric; others feel like producers overcorrected. Are you all-in on the reboot energy, or longing for old-school tribal politics?

    Open Era chaos is the point — stale seasons needed a shock.

    Some twists feel producer-forced; classic tribal still hits harder.

    Too early — wait until merge before crowning the reboot.
