Watching S3 (Africa) for the first time. Anyone else hate the tribe switch twist?

I’m not sure how to get a sense of what people thought about this 20 years later, but I was disappointed in the switch and I’m wondering what the consensus is. I felt like without the switch, the younger people in the Samburu tribe were in for a rude awakening at the merge. They felt like they were in control, but they would have been picked off one by one at the merge when their former tribe members would have inevitably turned on them. As long as the Boran tribe stayed solid and accepted either Frank or Theresa at the merge, the remaining Samburu tribe wouldn’t have had a chance. I couldn’t wait for that after the four younger Samburu members completely and unnecessarily alienated the older members. After the switch, Silas was voted out and gets to blame the switch, thinking he was in control otherwise. It would have been more satisfying in my opinion if they had gotten to see the major flaw in their plan without having the obvious excuse to fall back on.
