Survivor: How The Shot In The Dark Twist Can Be Improved

Survivor: How The Shot In The Dark Twist Can Be Improved

A simple fix to this mechanism would be for the odds to increase in the player’s favor every time the Shot in the Dark gets played unsuccessfully in the season. For instance, if a player at the first Tribal Council unsuccessfully cashes in their Shot in the Dark, the next player to cash in would have a one-in-five chance at safety, and so on, until it finally gets played successfully and resets. This alteration would drastically improve the twist and further complicate the dynamics on the island. The players would be even more incentivized to plan blindsides, and the power structure would have a much greater chance of being thrown on its head with a successful Shot in the Dark play.

With Survivor 42 nearing its finale, and season 43 currently filming, fans will have to wait until the fall to see if the Shot in the Dark returns, and what changes may or may not have been made to its implementation. Hopefully, the Survivor creative team can recognize the twist’s potential, despite its shortcomings so far. The twist’s minor flaws, such as its clumsy presentation at Tribal Council, can be ironed out with time, but its basic structure is in need of a major tweak to maintain its effectiveness. Some viewers and commentators have categorized the Shot in the Dark as a failed twist, but it could easily become a Survivor staple with some small and simple adjustments.
