Basically what it comes down to is that if the show is unfollowable in its current state, which it absolutely is, that's a reflection on how the show is being produced and edited rather than just them needing longer episodes. When there are at least four of five moments that HAVE to be shown because of the nature of the game in its current state, they effectively just become white noise and don't lead to any forward plot movement and then we're left with a garbage episode like last night's.
Agreed, but still the length is to me very important to feature all aspects of the game. Either less twists but better plot development, or a longer episodes with (not all) twists and more "surviving" aspect. I think a 90 minutes episode can do wonders to feature everything. Because really two tribal councils full of whispering is unwatchable
