On the other hand, players in several early seasons including Amazon were issued Rain Gear. Players in S16, S18, and S19 endured some prolonged nasty storms with just the clothes on their back (and in some cases, in exile).TVG: How has the game changed since you played?
JM: Argh! First of all, they get way too much food. I’m just going to put that out there. I am old-fashioned – and I’m bitter – in that if I starved I want you to starve. I don’t care. I want you to eat dirt and bugs like I did. So anytime I see people eating I get very angry. And anytime I see people with a hammock or a blanket, that makes me angry also.
I also think they started casting more athletic people post-ASS, so the New Schoolers might have an advantage in challenges. Especially compared to the earliest seasons.
