But other shows have seasons that are just as good as or even superior to the original season that set it all up, so why can't this show do the same? And even if it's not as good as Island, something that's just good would be nice, but that's almost never what we get. The stuff we're getting has no effort, consistency, or energy put into it.

Well, there was a better way to pull off the reward challenges for sure, and 13 episodes does nothing to help the pacing of the season's many stories. They haven't handled either format at all well in recent times.
