Sure, robotic island is unrealistic. What about the toxic one then?

And the characters aren't really that gimmicky, and even if, the most gimmicky got out early (Leonard and Rodney), Max was funny and had a good plot with Scarlett, and Shawn had development, so I don't really have a problem with that.
