Even if Ben were eliminated at final 7 and the fire-making challenge was between Devon and Mike with Devon winning, I still would not have liked this twist because, as Tozza pointed out, part of the game at final 4 is to convince people that they can beat you at the FTC, and I also believe that Tribal Council is not only a place where people get voted out, but as Courier said, people should have to EARN immunity, and this twist completely screwed all of that up.

I also HATED the way they implemented it. Not only was this "advantage" more of a disadvantage for Chrissy/Devon/Ryan than anything else, but as Turtle said, they should have been given time to prepare for this game-changing twist as chances are, it would get people to re-think who they want in the F4, especially since Lauren in particular (and even Ashley) were some of the toughest castaways in the game that certainly would have known how to make fire. Maybe Devon would have pushed to get rid of Ryan at the final six knowing that Ryan's utterly useless around camp if he had seen this twist coming because it would better their odds of getting their Ben out if he made the final 4. But seeing as though this was sprung onto the castaways so last minute, Chrissy was forced to take a shot in the dark and hope it worked instead of being able to use this as the way it was labelled, an "advantage."
