One of those you listed does actually return in All-Stars ...they can't have that many from one season to return due to the possibility of pre game alliances and to give other seasons a meaty amount of contestants, since All-Stars contains players from S1-7.  |
Yeah, that's the only thing that I think is a negative when watching the seasons... they just introduce each contestant for like 5 seconds at the beggining and then just expect you to learn all 16 castaways names in the first episode
And sometimes I get some contestants mixed up because they look similar-ish. But other than that it's ok I guess, just the editing makes some of them seem boring (as you just said) but then again, if they didn't do anything worthy enough of airtime then it's much better to let the Sues, Richards etc all get main airtime.

You won't be disappointed by Season 2.

Yes, I was gonna write more about Sue beause she was one of my favourites but I figured I'd wrote too much already
She was pretty much the life and soul of the second half of the season. She was so bitchy and moody at times but that's what made her great. She definitely makes great TV.
I've watched 2 episode of Season 2 and I can already see the improvement and transition from the first season. It seems more tactical but also more fun in a way and the challenges seem better. Hopefully it continues to be great and doesn't go downhill (the first elimination was tragic though, they would've brought so much drama if they had stayed).
