Not to mention Al was way dumber than he was in WT. The real Alejandro wouldn't have eliminated his only ally first chance he gets (Heather). That's just dumb of him. He was also dumb in his elimination, where instead of outright telling Zoey about Mal, he gives cryptic nonsense.

Jo was a little derailed too. Instead of being both strong and strategic, she only relied on being a powerhouse in the game, hindering her original somewhat decent intelligence. Why on earth would someone who is disliked by most contestants choose to eliminate their only possible ally an episode after they align with each other? (Lightning). Saving Private Leechball didn't do Jo much good either. She should have better aim than accidentaly shooting Scott.

The only characters I thought were the exact same they've been in in the past are Lightning, and to some extent Lindsay and Sam, all of which are fodder characters.
