Seriously. It sucks how often people are blinded by nostalgia for older seasons of shows. This is great because the characters are interesting. It's not like the first season, where the only memorable people are crazy Jennifer and Kate, who was only memorable because she posed nude and did a bunch of other crazy shit. Seriously, I can only remember maybe three of four decent characters from the second season, and only one decent task. The show was great back then, but it's changed now, and it's not any worse.
