Sadly, the truth is contestants rarely do anything in this day in age. There are two things that can be blamed for this.

One of them is the thirteen episode format. And given a normal episode's agenda (mostly challenge, one or two moments of talking, and rushed elimination) there isn't really an opportunity for anyone to make any political or social decisions. The decisions that are made, though, are so rushed that we can barely comprehend motivation or reason (especially with Scourtney).

The other problem is the show's selective bias. It's seems as if only a small minority of the cast matter enough to fill up what little screen time remains. And those moments lack impact for the reason stated above.

If you ask me personally, the show should have twenty-six episode seasons, however there should only be thirteen contestants. In addition, the season should break from its normal format and instead have entire episodes devoted to characters and internal politics. That way, the writers can form a decent story and allow multiple characters to actually do something.
