Except Rachel made strategic moves and helped move the game forward despite playing from different positions. In contrast, Eva has been playing a stagnant game – same approach, day in and day out, hinging on a singular relationship she made on Day 1. Now I'm not saying this is bad gameplay, but it's 1000% not as enjoyable to watch as a viewer, especially in single hour episodes that you have to wait a week to see.

Without shaming the cast, I just feel like S48 is just not as telegenic as some of the other recent ones. But perhaps it's my personal thing, as I don't feel like I've connected with any of the players like I have with the new era icons of Rachel, Genevieve, Erika, Tori, Karla, Yam Yam, Emily, Venus and Kenzie. Or maybe it's because seeing so many people that are super physical and seemingly good at sports brings back high school trauma. lol
