Please consider changing the commendation system. Since the party defeated the challenge together, most of the time I'd like to commend everyone. I don't want to exclude people from commendations and make them wonder if they did something wrong, when actually they just got unlucky and no one voted for them.

So, let everyone commend everyone they thought was a good party member, instead of just the best.

This would change commendations from a competitive system to a cooperative one. When everyone works together to succeed, everyone can be rewarded. That's a much better message than encouraging people to try to be the center of attention and get all the commendations. It would also send a stronger message that if you aren't receiving commendations, then your party probably wasn't happy with you.
