I didn't expect to like it... But I kinda did, especially Desiree Goldenhoof, even if they toss everything else I hope they'll keep her.
I can see a lot of potential in her an twilights dynamic and it's one twilight has never really had before.
I really would much rather have the camp cutie mark concept with new characters however...
And the whole sorta game show weekly challenge setup is kinda lazy, but it's the sorta guardrails for story writing that may lead to overall higher quality because it makes things much easier to write.
I wonder if there will be a element of those who gain their cutie marks graduating and moving on from the camp? Maybe that when new camp members will come and replace them? That could be very interesting, actually... Just think how exciting it would be when a character you like gets their cutie mark, you'd be Happy for them but sad to see them go, and then the suspense of wondering who is gonna come and replace them? Maybe Fluttershy, Rarity, AJ, and everypony else could potentially make be added? Hopefully some new characters too...
Overall I think it has potential, it's not a proper 6th generation if they reuse old characters, but I still think it can be a fun show.
