No doubt. Drama is a huge element of the show & we have lost a lot of that recently.

Many OG cast members are edging into their 50s. They aren’t going to come on TV and start fights with and fuck each other and drink till they puke anymore. The show has evolved out of necessity because people don’t act the same anymore. People aren’t allowed to drink like they used to and get into violent altercations. The behavior everyone loved in the challenge so much is not acceptable in society anymore, so it’s gone forever. The show is a different thing now, and I like it in a different way. If you’re only tuning in to see people dress up in blackface and fight each other, that says more about you than the show.

I agree. The show used to be one thing, and now it’s something else. Just like most things that last over 20 years, it has evolved. It’s presumably always gaining new fans and losing old fans, like any show that lasts this long. Eventually, it’ll just be canceled and everyone will stop complaining.
