When the episodes are about 2 minutes long, it can be anticipated to have bland or underdeveloped characters, but somehow this episode works because of its small cast, consisting of only four characters. Seismic was already my favorite character, but he got fleshed out even more through this episode. This is also the first time Shuff actually did anything, so an episode with him as the main character is really fitting. Krader and Zorch had fairly small roles, but they are better focused on in other episodes, which is good since trying to develop four characters in two minutes would undermine what I like about this episode. It also gave the Cragsters more personality other than the big, strong, dumb stereotype that so many shows and movies use. I'd say this episode is the best showcase of the Cragsters as characters, and I wish that some of the other tribes got episodes like this, as the later tribes (series 5-9) mostly failed to get character development. Either way, this was a good episode that gave some characters good development, so 10/10.
