I agree. I think it’s been at least three seasons in a row now where the team that loses the first challenge keeps losing. It just feels very unbalanced and not fun at all.
Was it always like this? I haven’t watched all the seasons, so I don’t recall if the rules changed at some point.
Maybe they should impose a limit — for example, if a team loses the first two challenges, they go without flint but get it back before the third challenge.
