Perhaps. Of course, I consider everything that happens on the show to be a conspiracy on the part of the producers. That's what the show is, that's why it's so good. There's no doubt in my mind that they shuffle things around based on the situation. Among other things, when people go out due to injury, they are forced to change things up. If they have the ability to do that, they have the ability to change things at any time. I don't consider that a bad thing at all, it's smart producing.

And I KNEW it was weird that we saw James grabbing a banana on the way to that challenge. Never seen that before, never seen any survivor eating a banana, and yet there was a huge bunch of bananas on the tribe flag? Totally caught my eye. And totally confirmed what I had long assumed, that they're provided with some minimum amount of sustenance that we never see, and any fishing and foraging and hunting they do is bonus, the difference between maintaining healthy body function vs. having extra energy to do things.
