You pretty much hit the nail right on the head, Wattamack. The only reason why they decided to cut it down to 13 episodes ,besides saving money for production, was to effectively rid the show of Aftermaths and other filler content like reward challenges. I personally liked the Aftermaths because it gave non-screenhogs some screentime....but I could live without the Aftermaths.
