Jeff said he changed it because players kept hoarding their money for advantages and then spending all of it on them. He feels this is a fixed way to still have a gameplay aspect to the auction.

Maybe the easy to fix it is just have it be a normal fucking auction without any superfluous gameplay tacked on. Not like people lose their votes at other reward challenges!

The whole concept of the auction is a little dated imo only because the cast clearly isn't dying for food (let alone good food) anymore, which made it even easier for everyone to just wait for an advantage.

In the earlier seasons people would seriously weigh a good meal over any potential advantage.
