Yup, I'm with you two. We've been getting all this backstory, and yet I don't give a damn about anyone but Karla and Noelle. While they have different backstories, they're all virtually the same on the island. There is nothing to differentiate where people's stories are going. There are bunch of people with interesting backstories. And yet all of them are being shown as gamebots.

I do second that this cast isn't very dynamic - too many redundancies and too much kumbayah. There's also how the confessionals have been soulless, save for Karla's "my wife's birthday is in February" and Noelle's "I haven't run out of leg jokes" today. It's the personalities that make Survivor pop. We're not seeing that, we're only seeing strategy strategy strategy and that's boring.

Where are my crazy people? Where are my villains? Those kinds of players create tension and drama and cause gamebots to deliver unintentional comedy in droves. Survivor SA knows this. Why doesn't Probst?
