If the rule is "no talking," that sounds perfectly fair to me. No way to enforce it, and really ballsy players can take advantage of that (at their own risk), but keeping the players from forming on-the-spot plans is sometimes part of special twists, and I understand the need for it.

But was that a rule? I mean probst has said many times in the past that there are only two rules in survivor : no conspiring to split the money and no physical violence. Not being allowed to talk and strategize when he says so I doubt is a rule. I jsut think it went a little to far. Also isnt keeping them from forming on the spot plans interferring? I mean if contestants are not allowed to react to a twist naturally than I dont think its fair.

2 rules doesn't literally mean 2 rules. Like, you can't just switch tribes whenever you wanted.

If it's part of a twist, then they have oblige. You can't refuse to pick a buff out of the urn or vote for youself at TC. The Fiji final 10 twist was to create chaos at TC, so there was a no talking rule. Which was enforced by the castaways being monitored and blindfolded until they got to TC.

As far as the two rules thing..i meant as far as gameplay goes. yes you can refuse to pick a buff but there is a consequence, yes you can vote for yourself but there is a consequence! Thats why I was askiing about if there would be a consequence! For the buff and voting for yourself -yes there would definitley be consequnces that would keep you from doing so, however a consequence for "no talking", im not so sure!

Also why not have cameras to and from tribal just incase. It would be highly unlikely that any strategizing would take place since everyone would be right there, but atleasy you have the option. I suppose they dont have cameras just because of how they get to tribal - it takes away some fo the magic of the show!

Actually, the no talk rule is in effect a lot of times.
- During the whole pre-game time.
- Every time they arrive at a challenge site, they shouldn't talk except to answer Jeff's formulaic questions
- Once they leave the camp to go to TC until the time Jeff addresses them.
- As soon as Jeff says it's time to vote, they have to be quiet. (Jason took a chance and got away with it probably because Jeff hadn't finished talking.) All the time that Jeff tallies the votes and then reads them, the players have to be quiet. They are only allowed a short goodbye to the booted player. They must also remain quiet until they return to camp so that the cameras can get the first shock expressions in a camp setting rather than in the middle of the jungle.

The consequences for disobeying can range from an amused smile to a sharp retort up to an immediate removal from the game. Not everyone takes the chance.

In my opinion that takes away from the reality of the show. Let them react naturally to situations instead of causing certain reactions.

Kelly G had siad that at the tribal when it was her versus lex, after she wrote his name down, she came back and said to him "this time it really was me". She said that the expression on his face was priceless and she was shocked they didnt show the scene. I wish they would have!
