I wouldn't call Richard or Sandra mean. Richard was certainly a scoundrel. but never malicious. Sandra was pretty agreeable (if foul-mouthed) to most people and the only people she were actually "mean" to were Jonny Fairplay and Russell. I smurfing hate Russell and insist he is one of the worst players both strategically, socially, and morally of all time and I've wrote an essay as to why.

Colton is basically Russell. He has style-over-substance gameplay and boasting over every step he makes that leads to his downfall. Alicia is just mean-spirited. Very Na'Onka-esque. Glad he's gone and she's cooled.

I think they should completely redo the entire casting system. Every season since Samoa has had horrendous casts with Heroes vs Villains being the lone (and only partial) exception.
