An interesting rewatch - I've seen bits and pieces just to see what it's like. It didn't actually rate too badly, but it was in the shadow of Survivor which was a megahit and seemed dull by comparison.

I think the biggest mistake was they didn't really adapt the European format for an American audience - and by that I don't mean the nomination and eviction process but how they aired it. A show stripped nightly for weeks on ends didn't really suit the US audience - had they done this series as three hour long episodes a series it may have worked better. Also as mentioned the alternate weekly nominations and evictions just slowed everything down - the UK were the first to shorten the format and have weekly evictions and that pretty much then became the norm for most countries picking up the format.
