I really hope "Survivor" producers will finally stop this nonsense, and make this show great again. The first step would be reducing the number of contestants back to 16. The second step would be better casting... It seems like every idiot, like Hanna, or every person who looks like is going to do well when it comes to survival in the wild and physical challenges, like Lucy, can be on the show. No, we want interesting people with interesting personalities, people whom we like, or like to hate. Season 33, IMHO, has one of the worst casts of all time. People being invisible was never only a thing of 20-people seasons. Zoe only had 5 confessionals in 9 episodes.

And you can't say that this show has not been great after having seasons like Philippines, Blood vs Water, Cagayan, San Juan del Sur and Kaoh Rong recently. Yes, you can be more like a old school person, but this is nowhere near the dark age of Redemption Island through One World.

Having only 16 people in a season is not guarantee of a good season, see: Thailand. And again you can't say that the casting is not good after having Philippines, the newbies of Blood vs Water, most of Cagayan, San Juan del Sur and Kaoh Rong. As long as this seasons cast go, yeah, it hasn't been the most interesting so far, but it's not one of the worst when you have Thailand's, Redemption Island's, South Pacific's, One World's and Fiji's. And it's not like people like Nick Brown, Gabriel Cade, Zoe Zanidakis, Jeanne Herbert, Shawna Mitchell, almost everyone from Thailand and others are interesting people with interesting personalities.
