So week after week they went without their flint so no fire. Also since they didn't have a tarp or anything there was no cover for them which is why in one episode we saw them sleeping underneath this big rock that had a nice area where they wouldn't be hit by the constant rain. >When the show first started, the contestants would look like anorexic >skeletons by the final vote. Now they look the same as they did when >they first arrived non the island. I think they gave up on that as they realized contestants that were starving don't make for good TV. There was one woman on Banu's tribe who works as a data analyst so she's likely fairly smart. But she wasn't able to sleep out there and with the lack of regular food she was a basket case when it came to doing the challenges or even putting coherent sentences together by the end as she couldn't keep her focus.
