I’d guess that the producers, at least, are trying to run a transparent game at this point (not clean, but, the kinds of dirty tricks that are rational to the format – sudden challenges and inducing drama, instead of surprise armies of Terminators). Failing to declare serious threats ruins their credibility and could induce the players to refuse to play in an entertaining fashion (boring tactics, maximized safety precautions, low speed “play”), or rebel.

@The_Rippy_One: Arikos is also useful because he can understand the hidden message behind the Toning. “Hit them four times in the same spot!”

@hariman: Those murderous cannibals might have just watched the show and figured it out from there.

@Josh.C: I’d imagine Cypress and Vince would do their best to strike a balance between allowing for bloodsport/death and stretching the show out for as long as they can.

Though the additional we know about Xanatos and Murphy, gives us an image that while they may be hired out as expendable assets. Others view them more as disposable assets.

For Cypress and Vince show, some might be having their own idea’s of how the show should be run.

Though on another note, I think I can see some influence from Jigg’s fanfiction for Ratchet and Clank here. I seem to remember though that Jigsaw was leading the infiltration part of the group there and the team was kicking booty to the curb while doing it in that story. This version is for more in the horror genera though.
