Binged all episodes today. What makes it is how the interpersonal dynamics develop between a bunch of ordinary people, plus the way episodes are put together. They're not just going through the motions/tasks then "voting off" someone they barely-know at the end of each episode. They're doing the dirty on someone they like, often because of groupthink. It's like if BB1 Nasty Nick made a reality show by his rules!
