User blog comment:BradP27/Why RR was the Best Season Since the Original TDI--if not better/@comment-2091662-20151013215952

I do disagree with some points (I don't think TDA, TDWT, or TDPI or crappy seasons), but the point of the competition aspect is very true, not to dismiss other seasons, but this season was so good in that aspect because the contestants were very, very focused, another thing that I agree with you about was that the "nonsense"/one-shtick characters were eliminated very quickly, the LARPers, vegans, old tennis couple weren't really needed and I was satisfied with their departure, same goes for the stepbrothers and rockers, both went pretty far (sadly) but when they left in a double boot episode I was SO satisfied, I was kinda dissapointed when two team I really liked left (Goths and then Surfer Dudes), but the last three episodes were SO intense that I didn't really cared, and you're right, Josee and Joaques were great villains and for me the TDRR Finale (when I finally see the version where the cadets win) might be the most satisfying finale in a LONG WHILE man. But in regarding to villains, Scarlett also wanted to win, if you don't remember, she wanted to win the million by threatening Chris that she will blow up the island, she was a good villain IMO. Overall, RR probably lands above TDA and below TDI and TDWT in my ranking, but I dunno cuz I do have some nostalgia bias for TDA <3

Good review!
