I may be the only one with this opinion, but I love to bring a new view to the table. If the elimination matches will still be the same as last year in respect to how teams get in them and how alliances occur (top few teams pick two other teams to be their alliance members for the elimination matches) this year"s changes will make the competition better. Last year the high-seeded team might have one really good allaince partner and a mediocre one, but they wouldn"t get to choose which one they wanted to use for which match so they might dominate a match with their good pick, but they could lose a match because they had to be paired with their lesser pick. This year each high-seeded team will get a chance with each of their picks against the other high-seeded team and their picks which - if not making the game any fairer - will at least get rid of some excuses for a team that loses in the elimination round.
