One of my biggest criticisms is that the show does not show more life and antics around the camp. It's all just challenge, challenge, and any antics the males perform. I actually wouldn't mind getting to know a little bit about each contestant. I know nothing about Debbie. Nothing. And honestly, I knew nothing about Spencer and Sydney as well.
Survivor Borneo did a good job highlighting the backgrounds and idiosyncrasies of each contestant. Nowadays the editing is just focused on the 'you're gonna love this guy' characters, and the challenges. It's getting boring.
That's because in Survivor Borneo only Rich and maybe Sue were actually playing the game. I wouldn't mind it if they cut out some of the Reward Challenges though. Some of those aren't essential. Early on, in Borneo, they cut out a reward challenge that was similar to Outback's episode 3 Reward Challenge.
