Well, I'd look back at the older episodes that Terry has written: Greece's Pieces and Sweden Sour were two of the best World Tour episodes (ESPECIALLY Sweden), and while Gasket was good and I liked Shawshank, None Down Part 2 is easily my favorite episode of Ridonculous Race yet. To me, just about every multiple-episode writer has written at least one bad episode and one good one.

Take, for example, another classic TD writer, Shelley Scarrow: She wrote some of the earliest episodes for TDI, including Phobia Factor and Paintball Deer Hunter. She continued writing episodes every now and then in TDA, and then a handful more for World Tour. Then, after Planes, Trains, and Hot Air Mobiles, she disappeared and was completely MIA for three straight seasons (TDR, TDAS, and TDPI), before gloriously resurfacing in Hawaiian Honeyruin this season. Now let's look at a sample of her work, shall we? Paintball is one of my all-time favorite episodes of both TDI (3rd-favorite, to be exact) and the series overall (6th favorite). Planes, Trains, and Hot Air Mobiles is my 4th-favorite TDWT episode, and 9th favorite episode of all time. And then, her crowning achievement: She wrote the PREMIERE episode of TDWT (Walk Like An Egyptian - Part 1), which is my favorite TDWT episode, my favorite premiere episode, and my 2nd-favorite episode of all time. But then take a look right around at the negative side: She also wrote I See London, which is my 5th-least-favorite episode of TDWT and 9th-least-favorite of all time, and she also wrote Rapa-Phooey, which I'm also not a fan of, and she wrote the Zimbabwe episode, which, as you know, is my current least favorite episode of RR by a considerable margin.

So it's really hard to find a single writer who's written nothing but gold (again, to me, the closest is Ed MacDonald - I easily love 4 of the 5 episodes he's written so far).
