But it was the preliminary round. Personally, I just don't think the alliances or preferences aren't nearly deeply rooted enough at that stage to really make any difference. Or, at least, not make any more of a difference then simple personal bias.
This probably has a lot to do with why you're out. I can guarantee there are people who are very strongly allied with each other... and had made those alliances even before Matt had begun the game. With some of the experienced players... there were alliances formed even before the decision whether or not to play in this game was even made.
As Matt said in his intro... this game is about way more than the challenges. It's the strategy and the alliances that make or break you.
Again, this is a game. It should not be a rigid, life or death matter of who ghost hosts one round.
One could wonder why, with your continued protestations of how 'unimportant' this is and that it isn't a "life or death matter", and it doesn't mean anything you're so hung up on this - particularly since you've been voted out.
Why not just move on with your life and forget about the game entirely? It shouldn't make a difference to you one way or the other what happens in the game.
The way you've been carrying on, however, suggests that it's important to you... which, in turn, suggests that you still have a 'stake' in the game somehow... which makes your entire line of argument suspect.
^ See? That's how Survivor works.
I'm sorry, but I'd rather deal with actuality rather than appearances.
You don't KNOW the actuality. You don't know that "Poster X" (who we will assume was playing in this game) will be unbiased or that s/he won't remain loyal to an alliance s/he made any more than I or anyone else know to the contrary. So the best we can work with is the appearance. And by appearances, it would seem more unbiased to not have a poster who has not been playing guest host a round.
I concede to the top point but isn't it possible that you have ppl deemed good posters that don't like you and may simply not be overtly petty with it ? I'm just saying that there could be more threat from none players than voted out ones, but bottom line is Matt simply has to vet his choices well as you said and i believe he has agreed to no players from this game guest hosting.
On the bottom point, i didn't realise that as i'm not familiar with what the other challenges will entail.
The argument that someone may not like you and just isn't overtly petty about it doesn't work because it holds true with everyone on the Hype! - regardless of whether they were former players or not. [
Isn't it possible that you have ppl who've you've voted out that don't like you and may simply not be overtly petty with it? Although I bet they liked adding little - signs to your name.

Think about the probability here and it you can see that the odds are that the greater thread comes from those people who
were playing (they may not like you and not be overtly petty about it (as above, that can be anyone on the Hype!, not just non-players) AND have further reason to screw with you because you helped vote them out.
Beyond that, it's less likely a ex-player guest host would go after an individual than it is s/he will 'assist' another person or alliance. That's where the danger is, and where those not playing the game pose little to no danger.
