I want to be excited for "the biggest ToC ever" but it does kinda diminish it a bit when it's going to be just one of eight or nine tournaments with the exact same size and format this season (including Celeb and assuming the JIT will also be 27 players) save for the finals.
I still think they should just skip the postseason next year and wait to kick season 42 off with a bigger one -- they probably think "if we don't do it next year then it's going to look like we abandoned it; we need to make it a regular thing right away" but i think following up the season of all tournaments immediately with another tournament that's just going to be a rerun of basically all of the people who just played a month earlier is going to be the perfect way to cement public opinion against the postseason -- but if they insist on starting 41 with a postseason, then i definitely agree that carrying over the pre-eliminated players from this CW is only fair.
