User blog comment:AGuyHere/Is there a season where the post merge is better than the pre merge?/@comment-27329394-20150726161407

TDI - Around the same. On one hand, the characters felt better. On the other hand the eliminations felt lazy.

TDA - A bit better. TDA had a very slow start, and while it sputtered a bit at the end, it wasn't as much.

TDWT - A bit worse. The merge period was pretty good overall, albeit short, but the pre-merge episodes were just so good that I can't rank the post merge episodes above it.

TDROTI - Better. I liked all the post-merge episodes, but the pre-merged was filled with some bad moments despite arguably having better characters.

TDAS - Worse. The episodes after Alejandro's eliminations were what made it so middling.

TDPI - Slightly worse. The characters were better, but it felt like a lot more was going on before the merge.
