My top 10 (by location) is:

1) Hawaii: a perfect mix of excellent original and culturally fitting challenges and Majestic plots, starting with Noah's crush.

2) Bahamas: the underwater challenge was epic, one of the most realistically nerve-raking ever seen and brought lot of depth to characters and interactions. Josèe's claustrophobia was handled in a very intense way and I plaud the coherency of the Writers to consider the "oxygen factor" in the challenge.

3) Mexican challenge was really strange but worked perfectly mixing peppers and diving, a true surprise.

4) Finland. I was very skeptical and disappointed about it, at first, but the challenges were surprisingly fitting and bested my expectations, also they both WORKED for the best part of Nemma plot (and not only it, pretty every plot of this episode was Amazing, like Goths)

5) Never been a big fan of Las Vegas city, also this episode came after the elimination of Reality TV Pros so I was kind of pessimist about it.....instead the two challenges were crazy, original, hilarious! They didn't do anything predictable like gambling or roulettes, they fought about magic and dune buggies! Genius.

6) Shawshank Redemption had one of the most original challenges and contemporary very well exceuted ones. It actually succeeded where TDA long time ago failed with the pathetic Chefshank prison episode. So, yeah, it deserves every Honor.

7) Dubai's Squeegee or Serve, for the originality (again) and the ability to give characters lot of good moments. When a challenge is original and gives plot, it's just perfect IMO.

8) Transylvania that, again, surprised me for the originality. BUT the coffin challenge could have been used better than just give Goths their first crowning morbid moment of awesome, tbh.

9) Maori or Less, another location with crazy challenges used at the best.

10) Paris...
