This is why I say the show's become mean-spirited.

In fact, let me share with you something a close friend of mine had to say that really sums up my feelings about what's happened to the show:

"I just wish I could think of what to say. I mean, I don't want the original cast to just go back to their Island personalities, but I want them to still feel like themselves from that season. I want the great couples back together again. I want the friendships to matter again. I want everyone to get fair attention again. I want realistic character development. I want the cruelty toned down (not gone completely, I like a little slapstick)."

That sums up my problems with the show and its character development better in a way than I ever could.
