Survivor: Parting Shot
The new era seems on a trend where new twists won't go away, so I think the ideal solution is that twists should play into the core mechanics, not take up too much screen time, and be influential without being game-breaking or screwing people.
So the idea I've conceived of is Survivor: Parting Shot. When you get voted out, before you leave, you go cast 1 vote for someone left in the game. The next time that person is at a tribal council, the vote is read and counts against them (negated by idols, immunity wins, etc). This "parting shot" vote is made privately, but you could potentially tell people beforehand who you'd put your vote against.
Cast a vote against someone you think will win, vote against the ally you think betrayed you, or just vote someone you don't like. The next tribal council, people might just be willing to go after someone who they know already has 1 vote against them, or it could be the thing that breaks a split vote.
