Somehow, I missed answering this one. Oh, well, better late than never.

The elephants (or selfie rhinos, if you prefer) in the room are the new format and the return of the full-length season. The mostly new cast was also important, as RR would not have been what it was with a cast full of recycled TD veterans, although I can think of several pairs who would have worked well in this format.
