But haven't the women outnumbered the men so many more times too? I remember so many final 8's that had 5 women to only 3 men, compared to I think 2 seasons it was 5 men 3 women. We had Guatemala, China and Vanuatu where the women outnumbered 4-1, or 6-1. Pearl Islands was 5-2 at one point. There is only one season where the men severely outnumbered the women post merge and that was Fiji. For every other season it went one gender is up by 1 or they're even every round post merge. We've seen three female/female final 2's to only 1 male/male final 2 in the first 12 seasons. So my point is the women are better overall at making it far.

AND people always say how the women are bigger targets premerge. I'd say Not that's not entirely true. With the exception of Exile Island and Fiji, the premerge boots are almost even for all other seasons. There may be like 3 out of the first 4 boots are women but then that's followed by a few men booted still premerge. Then to counter act that, we've seen more seasons where there is larger string of male boots around the merge...Palau, Guatemala, China, Vanuatu (although it was tribal lines as well), and Pearl Islands all had atleast 4 men booted in a row around the merge. Only twice have the women been anihilated premerge (EI and Fiji). They cast more weak men to be booted Early than they cast strong women to go early at the merge. We've seen more men booted episodes 1 and 2 than we've seen women booted first and second at the merge. Jenny, Shii Ann, Jerry and Michelle are all women who've gotten 10th place, but only 2/15 times has a woman been booted first at the merge...shouldn't there be only 2/15 men booted the first episode then? No, my point is that people always assume men are targetted post merge equally to women targetted premerge, which isn't true. That's how the women have outnumbered more times. Done rambling.
