And besides, it adds a bit of entertainment here
Yeah I can see how it makes it more entertaining. Rather than watching a match between the #1 seeded alliance of ChiefDelphi, Kingman, and Beatty and the #8 seeded alliance of rookie teams 1555, 1666, and 1777 and knowing who is gonna win, now there is a chance for the rookies to advance (I'm assuming here that under previous year rules the #1 seeded alliance would have slaughtered. We've all seen elim matches like this.)

I guess I'm torn on this. There are reasons to have it both ways.
