The newer seasons are hamstrung by a developed 'metagame.' Contestants know that they need to be trying to think laterally and the showrunners have to write challenges in a way they don't just get circumvented all the time, same way laws have to be eight paragraphs long because shitters are always trying to find loopholes hidden between typoed commas.
Funny moments still happen but the newness has worn off and in some ways it's just been 'figured out.''
The show is a joke, with joke prizes. If anything, the comedian contestants should try to solve things in the funniest way possible, or establish an image of themselves, not try to win.
