Anybody see the new season in the Honolulu State?

I honestly haven't enjoyed it as much as the previous season. The location is absolutely beautiful, but it feels more american to me, though less drama like say The Real World. The reason I liked the previous season is because of their daily interaction which seems so foreign to me. The way they were so formal and soft spoken. And also those conversations about their future and purpose in life. It was al so foreign and interesting to me. Also the different way they date and interact with each other. I also found them to be way more sincere and genuine. The cast also is kinda boring. I especially dislike Lauren. She just seems so shady to me. The way she attacked Naomie about the cleaning and the date with Yusuke.
