With respect to retention of players... literally the only reason I'm not playing anymore is lack of time. However, I suspect others are turned off by the frequent arguments and heavy emotioms that always seen to come out at the end of these games.
New players are far more likely than others to look at the games just as a fun thing to do. Most aren't going to care about ELO or Crazy's scores or other stuff like that until they become veterans themselves, if at all.
People play games to distract themselves from the stresses of life, not to add to them. If Survivor causes more stress than it provides a fun diversion, people aren't going to play.
Being competitive and taking the games seriously drives some people to play better; I'm not saying to take that away by any means. But Survivor isn't life or death, and whatever happens in a game should stay in the game. Moreover, even within a game, people are still human. They still deserve respect, even if they've betrayed you or you're about to betray them.
