S4 was shit for different reasons than "the cast sucked".
Ellie was very entertaining until the competition actually began, the camera stare in the interview with Sam was easily the the most weirded-out I've been while watching Fishtank, felt like something crazy was brewing behind the scenes. I already explained how direnc was good. Freddy was freddy. Aryeh is not a real person, I still refuse to believe it. Daniel was quickly becoming the most hateable contestant ever. Same for Angelina. Rachel was a perfect obese lunatic. Jin was basically asking to be tortured. They all each embodied a different kind of annoying fan while still being fairly entertaining to watch. It was a perfect storm.
Not to mention Sam was acting completely unhinged, which seemed like a character decision and not purely just Sam losing steam. (in the promo for the season he was playing the same fucked-up version of Goldstriker, it was a core focus of the promo)
...Then it completely fizzled. Even before getting kicked out of the house.
If S4's bizarre build-up actually led to some kind of insane hellhouse conclusion, the season would have been great. Basically another season 3 rugpull, but on insufferable clout-chasing fan contestants (with Freddy and Direnc as outliers), and even on the people watching. Kino, high art, The Wire, etc.
