Survivor winner Tyson Apostol: ‘I want Tribal Councils to change’
Recently, Tyson broached the topic of Tribal Council excitement.
“Let’s spice these tribal councils up! What do you think?!” Tyson captioned a clip from the video.
“I want Tribal Councils to change. They’re boring,” Tyson began.
“Let’s just make it a continuation of the scramble. Let’s have Jeff [Probst] twist whatever knige he needs to twist to be the catalyst to get everyone to start going,” Tyson stated to an audible reaction from his co-host.
“Like that should be Jeff’s goal in the Tribal Council is ramp that s**t up. Make people say things they regret saying. Make people play the game in that moment, because I do to Tribal Council, I’m giving veiled answers. I’m trying to mask what lines are lines. Everyone’s doing the same. You’re trying to hide this and that,” Tyson elaborated.
“Jeff has these things. People come out with their, you know, kangaroo vs space metaphors. Stop,” Tyson noted as his co-hosts chimed in about stopping the metaphors.
But he wasn’t done yet.
“Force people to scramble,” Tyson added.
