They used to cast good locking super jocks, nerds, and a few in betweeners who would duke it out using whatever assets they had. Now they just cast mainly geeks and fill the set with weird bright colours and crying. Lots and lots of crying. People who want to tell "their story".
I don't care about "your story" TBH. I want to see people cut each others throats in the most ruthless way possible. I want to see guys like Ozzie carry a tribe and then get tossed by the geek who figures out a way to stick a knife in his back. Or the puppet master Sandra who was the most unempathetic, cunning yet physically useless person ever put on the show.
Simpletons like Bhanu should have never made it past the casting call. I keep wondering when he's going to wink at the camera and laugh because he made it all up and was acting the whole time. But he isn't. And it's making it unwatchable.
