This is not the first time the 3rd year of a disney show is a revamp. Ant-Farm was reconstructed this way. Sunny with a chance was forced into it. However, the complete change in this show is unique.
Bunk by most accounts was never good. It had a few moments, but generally it was corny and plain. The revamp took the villian from the show (Hazel), the love interst (Xander, probably thinks should not have quit football now for emma) and the comic relief character (Gladys). The new show focuses on the siblings and their interactions with the campers. The new campers are addition by subtraction and while annoying in their own right at least a new kind of annoying.
I think the revamp works. It is certainly more interesting. It allows the main characters (the Ross siblings) to be the center of the show. It is kind of a shame it took two seasons to get here but this is how bunkd could have worked out to be a good show.
Now to be clear bunkd' is till not great. I think it would best be described as okay. However, it is better and more watchable.
As a final note though the Disney Channel does not seem to think so. It was announced in April, two months before the new season premiered, that thsi was the end of Bunkd. Two things could be true. One, that it was never their intention to bring Bunkd' back. They needed programming and this was the 3rd year so they bandaged the seious wounds in the show and put it out there to fill space until 2019. (my guess) Two, that after seeing the new season they decided it could not be saved and let it go. Usually, even if Disney has decided to not renew a show they embargo that information until most of the final season episodes are run. Here they did not. Which is why I believe it was the first theory and not the second.
Hence, I would say enjoy the new and improved bunkd' while it lasts.
