It’s not about diversity? Maybe that’s not the explicit focus anymore but the original premise was “bribing people together from all walks of life”. That was in Jeff’s intro for every season. It was intended as a social experiment first and a game show second. That’s not so much the case any more but it was the whole point of the show originally and scenes like what we saw with Karishma are a throwback to that, which is appreciated as a long time viewer.

As for not caring about challenges, I was more referring to the subreddit who generally doesn’t primarily care about challenge ability (except for Karishma and Sandra conveniently enough). Of course the players care about winning the tribe challenges, but obviously her tribe didn’t care that much or they would have gotten rid of her lol. That’s another thing I liked about her was her inexplicable continued survival was pretty funny, though not everyone finds that as funny.
