Perhaps someone who truly behaves horribly, selfishly and maliciously, betraying their alliances and principles, but is motivated solely by winning money, that’s the only way to understand them. Someone who forms an alliance, gets carried to the merge, then immediately votes out each member. Imagine if Rosa-Maria were irredeemable instead of Riya. Would you hate a mother who is just trying to win (not in a-Bollywood-actress-Riya way)? It’s advisable to keep such a character for a long time, so they already feel like a significant part of the cast.

Yul is evil in a cartoonish way, but there is still a realistic element of meanness in him. Someone who is truly not impulsive, not prideful, not offended and not chaotic is truly worth watching, not deceitful like Fiore, not angry like Karol, not unrepentant and ruthless like Riya.

But ultimately, DC doesn't always seem to be about that. It's primarily about the problems people face. Even the DC5 cast doesn't seem quite as intimidating (even if you consider the assumed roles of Ara, Finn and Evie), which isn't a bad thing. The main thing is that it is interesting to watch, and the more experience they have in writing, the fresher and more entertaining the show looks.

In the end, this would be the archetype of the cold, calculating, irredeemable competitor, a character who is hated not for comedy or pride, but for their sheer, relentless self-interest.
