There just really hasn't been any characterization at all and I don't feel like I know these people. Libby was a nobody, Chelsea is a nobody, Jenna is a nobody, Angela actually is a good character but she only shows up every third episode, Kellyn is slightly more visible but she's just a narrator without any personal depth, Desiree is a nobody, Laurel is pretty much a nobody, and wow surprise it's all women who have been ignored to ****! Then you get to the men and like... Sebastian is ~kooky~ and ~wacky~, Donathan is the country boy, Michael is the underdog who also happens to be lying about his age, and then I don't even know how I would describe Domenick or Wendell? Domenick has received an absurd amount of airtime and I feel like he's just spent it all shouting at me about Chris, and Wendell is starting to come into prominence more but it's just about The Game and I don't care about what he has to say at all?

I think I'm just going to used my tired out trope and say that this is literally just a season of Survivor!

Put the mic down bro. Put the pen down bro. Use an eraser.

But really, I couldn't care less if there isn't full character development or even proper characterization for many characters if the ones getting an edit are good... and Domenick & Wendell are serving that role for me perfectly and some of the people I haven't liked served as decent enough villains. Stephanie & Jacob were great in the early pre-merge etc. etc.

The one knock on this season is there aren't a ton of BIG moments going on but as Douglas said there are still a few of those too.
