AVClub: Throughout this Second Chances season, Survivor has made it a point to focus on the experiences of those returning players who were originally on earlier seasons. People like Jeff Varner, who originally played the game in the second season, could not get over the speed of the current game, and much of his arc on the show was about him learning to adapt. Likewise, Savage has repeatedly commented on more of the character of the game, with his perception being that it is somehow less noble than it used to be. This recurring underlying theme becomes far more overt in this episode, when, after a wild few days of strategy, Jeff Probst specifically questions everyone during Tribal Council to ask if the game has changed forever.
