Character Development
Let's start with the new cast first.

Box

Clearly, there's not a bunch to say about Box. It's interesting to see a true inanimate object, but I think he'll get the boot very early in the season. Box is obviously a gag character, as he wouldn't do much to affect a challenge or another player. Lightbulb said it herself that he was "good at this non-interacting thing," so I guess it's official that Box doesn't do much.

This character doesn't have a lot of potential, unless we find out what's inside Box or another contestant picks him up and interacts for him. Plus, once you know what he's actually saying through all those layers of sound editing, he becomes very creepy. VERY VERY CREEPY. I'm going to eliminate him first chance I get, because he's creepy, has close to zero potential, and it would be fun to see a true inanimate object get eliminated.

Cheesy

Yeah, I know. Cheesy was already in Season 1. But he didn't really do much, just that one commercial and one scene with MePhone4S. It's nice to see him up and running again, since it would be a shame to ditch him and Fan after all their hard work cameo-ing in Season 1.

Cheesy's voice isn't prominent as other contestants, but it could be worse. I mean, it's not bad, it's not good.

With all neutralism out of the way, I'd like to compliment his growth from just a security guard to a pun fanatic. We all know why he's called Cheesy, finally.

Cheesy stands now as another obvious gag character. The knee-slapping definitely defines his personality well, even for the first episode! Cheesy has pretty much filled his potential already, which in this case, isn't a bad thing at all. I can tell Cheesy will become a fan favorite just like Taco did and will definitely stick around until at least after the merge.

I can't tell at this point when the gags will get old, because some gags NEVER get old and some will die out and become old after just a few episodes. Because he's a fan favorite, it'll probably get old a few episodes after the merge and that's when he'll be eliminated. Either that, or the fans will remain loyal and keep him in until the finals. It's hard to tell when he'll get eliminated, but two things are certain: he'll survive until the merge and will be one of the highlights for this season.

Cherries

I immediately noticed their appearance: the most arms, legs, eyes, and mouths out of any contestant on an object show ever. The Cherries sure know to work it up in an appearance contest!

Sadly, everything else about the Cherries gets mixed feelings from me. The voice acting was average, they aren't necessarily good or bad, and their personality doesn't extend past the fact that they're conjoined twins. There wasn't even a gag about two minds serving as one contestant. Because of this, I can't tell if they're a gag or a plot character. Heck, their elimination only depends on plot events that haven't happened yet. The Cherries are getting even more mysterious than Box!

Hey, Lightbulb! Does interacting with each other count as "interacting with anything?" I have no clue...

Fan

So far, Fan has the best voice out of the objects reviewed already. Way to go!

You could say that Fan is both a gag and a plot character, since whenever he references I.I. fandom, it's a gag, and whenever his fandom affects other contestants or challenges, it's the plot.

Unfortunately, Fan didn't get enough screen time in the tiny 16-minute time frame. That means a

...and then I fell asleep.
