Survivor: Ghost Islandcast was told before game about final four twist

The show takes its integrity very seriously.

That doesnt mean I am a fan of the final four twist though.

Thats essentially what Probst told me after theHeroes vs. Healers vs. Hustlersfinale.

This idea came about to solve a problem that has bothered me for years, said Probst.

So this year we decided to make a change.

If you get to final four, you are guaranteed a shot to earn your way to the end.

Thats because the final four fire-making challenge is not, by any means, a one-and-done thing.

But Im not the only one he told.

The reason is pretty simple, and a question of timing.

In fact, it is to be expected.

I just personally hope this particular wrinkle is not here to stay.

And not that anyone asked me, but my favorite twist is probably the fake merge inSurvivor: Thailand.
