Honestly, that's because they're trying to make the villains less intimidating. The show's been getting more kid-friendly every season and so have the baddies. Heather was undoubtedly the most intimidating of the series, followed by Alejandro, Courtney, and Justin, followed by Scott, followed by Mike, followed by... Max...

Yeah, that last addition just proves that they're trying to goofy up the bad guys. Scott was so unintimidating, so I personally never took him seriously, even when he did cause people's eliminations. Mal's even worse. Alejandro outsmarted him the first time he ever tried to pull a big strategic move... sad.
