I came up with this a while ago (like around S12 >.>) but have no idea if it's a good idea or not.

Basically, start with 2 tribes of 9 people each. Three normal episodes, three normal Tribal Councils. Then, on Day 10, screw everything up by forcing everyone to rank each member of their tribe. The people with the lowest ranking are then removed from that tribe and placed on a third tribe... the Outcast tribe (or whatever name makes more sense). This is done in a way so that all three tribes have 5 people each (so, if Tribe A has 8 people and Tribe B has 7 people, the lowest 3 people from Tribe A and the lowest 2 people from Tribe B are placed into Outcasts).

As a forgiveness policy, Outcast is immune at the next tribal council. The immunity challenge is between Tribe A and Tribe B.

Episode five: The reward challenge is where shit hits the fan. The winning tribe between all 3 tribes gets to choose one other tribe to go to Tribal Council immediately. Whichever tribe goes to Tribal then doesn't compete at the next immunity challenge (so, if Outcast wins reward and sends Tribe A to Tribal, then the immunity challenge is between Tribe B and Outcast). So this episode would have reward challenge, tribal council, immunity challenge, tribal council... fairly loaded. They would probably have to split up the episode into two or make it an hour and a half episode.

Episode six has the same rules.

Episode seven is the merge BETWEEN ALL THREE TRIBES. Note that Outcast has at least 3 people whereas Tribes A and B have at least 2 people each. Worst case is Tribe A = 5, Tribe B = 2, Outcast = 3. Thus no tribe can possibly have majority at the merge. Throw in the fact that the Outcast tribe consists of people who had already been kicked out of their original tribe and probably will hold grudges against their original tribes. It could happen that Tribes A & B would just vote out the Outcast, but then B is in the minority and then A wins. And this is all assuming no one defects from their new tribe.

I feel like in theory this would make for a GREAT game, but too confusing for TV. However, experience tells me in practice this would all fall apart because an Outcast is in a romance with someone from his/her original tribe and was never an outcast, etc.
