It was new yes but I don't see what's exciting about someone being intentionally written as doing idiotic things and then ending up getting rewarded for it and lasting a really long time. Jacques and Josee clamouring about getting gold can be repetitive but there's being repetitive and there's a running gag. Plus that characteristic of them is really interesting because the viewer knows about the deep rooted anguish they have in getting silver at the olympics, making their obsession with gold much more fascinating than Scott repeatedly acting the same just for the sake of it.

I'll admit plenty of villains relied on luck but Scott is that in a different way. He REPEATEDLY went for the same tactic, a tactic of which luck would be a a significant factor in him succeeding. Heather or Alejandro got luck too but they tried things out in different ways as villains.
