This cast has too many gamebots who aren't showcasing any personality. Without Gabler, the entire season falls apart because, as frustrating as he is, he's half the entertainment right now. Cody is the "secretly smart guy who appears crazy" though he's not a very good one, at that. Jesse is flat. Where was Ryan hilarious? I legit forget he exists half the time. The only "funny" thing I can remember was him throwing the challenge and being clueless; Geo was by far the more amusing of the two there.

Karla and Noelle are both very likable but narratively speaking, they aren't as interesting as they should be. And I think that stems from a void of conflict and tension. This group simply gets along and was cast to be likable. You can't have people to like if you don't also have people to hate. No villains is a huge step down from the last two seasons. Shan was a great main antagonist of S41 and I cheered her comeuppance. Because that was good TV. S43 is a bottom 5 season so far because there's been very little good TV. Geo "lying" that he's on the bottom and helpless and yet actually being on the bottom was hysterical, especially given his jaw drop at Tribal. That was the best moment of the season so far - this vote being a cluster wasn't fun at all, simply because I legit feel bored by practically everyone here. It's issues with casting and editing both.

No idea why you hated 42's cast because that group had epic chemistry. There was tension between them and, as frustrated as they were with each other at the end of the day, they were still willing to make amends. They weren't spiteful and they most certainly weren't boring. And how can you hate Maryanne? Do you not have a soul?
