Hmm let's see

TDI:

1. This season is ridiculously overhyped. Most of the pre merge boots range from being either fodder (Ezekiel, Tyler, Justin, Katie, Noah) to being wasted potential. While it is far more realistic, it's also not very interesting, I found nearly everyone who made the merge much better in later seasons (besides Leshawna, Gwen, and Owen).

2. While I think Heather vs Gwen would've been a better finale, personally I'm fine with the way they went with the finale. Besides, I Triple Dog Dare You becomes less entertaining if you don't boot Heather.

3. Camp Castaways is not a bad episode.

4. Heather, while being an AMAZING villain, hardly does anything pre merge and in fact I think she's kind of boring before Beth betrays her.

5. Speaking of Beth, she's not really interesting here or in TDA. Actually, while her deflection from Heather's alliance is built up in the episode itself, it is never built up beforehand. One reason why I like Lindsay more than Beth in this season, is that she had a better version of Beth's plot. While Heather was being bossy to Beth, it feels like her deflection comes out of nowhere and it takes having to get a bag of chips for Beth to quit.

TDA:

1. This season is better than TDI.

2. Justin would not have made a very good villain even if they hadn't decided to drop him. Mostly because while he DID orchestrate Trent and Izzy's 2nd elimination, for the latter he would've been nearly booted himself because even Lindsay and Beth were sick of him.

3. Owen should not have returned.

4. Duncan is a terrible finalist (He was bottom 2 3 times in a row) and Courtney should've been in his place.

5. While being a jerk, Geoff is far more entertaining in Action than he is in Island.

TDWT:

1. The love triangle is not a bad plot. It actually helped bring some drama into a mostly comedy filled season up to that point.

2. Ezekiel should NOT have gotten booted second, or if he was to get booted early, not for such a silly and rather lame reason as he actually did. Not to mention it was technically Harold's fault.

3. Team Victory's plot is fine, as DJ, Leshawna, Harold, and Lindsay have already developed. Bridgette should've stayed longer though.

4. I would of preferred to see Tyler make the merge over Owen.

5. Cody's plot with Sierra makes Sierra look more sympathetic in the end.

TDRI:

1. Samkota, while cute, really doesn't come from anywhere on Dakota's part. Dakota seemed to be less attracted to Sam than he was to her.

2. The finale is really cliche and boring.

3. Cameron is better than Zoey and Mike from a plot standpoint, but he really shouldn't have gone farther than Jo and Scott.

4. Brick and Jo would be a TERRIBLE couple and I don't see why people ship it.

5. B is worse fodder than Justin from TDI.

6. Staci could've made an interesting minor villain, but was wasted.

TDAS:

1. Commando Zoey and Mal should've been co villains. It would've probably made the season more irritating to sit through, but I would've watched that.

2. Sam is not an All Star. He was a barely relevant pre merge boot.

3. Gwentney is an ok friendship, but they really should not have made it so mushy.

TDPI:

1. Dave is a great character and is actually far more interesting than Sky to watch.

2. Skave is a trainwreck and it is amazing to watch

3. Shasmine on the other hand, while cute, is actually rather boring.

4. Scarlett and Max are the more interesting of the interactions between characters this season.

5. Amy would have made a FAR worse villain. She only joined because Samey was going to do it. She's completely dependent on her sister.

6. Leonard and Sugar are both actually funny.

RR:

1. Ridonculous Race is indeed far more interesting than TD so far, but it's only been one season. I need to see more of RR before I pass any further judgement on whether or not I like it more than TD.

2. The Geniuses are actually worse than the Larpers.

3. While I love Kitty a lot, the Sisters ARE not the best pair in RR.

4. I was far more engaged in Devin X Carrie than I was in some of the more recent TD ships.

5. Nemma is worse for Emma than it is Noah.

6. On that note, Kitty should've actually been paired with Noah instead of Emma. Wasn't she the one who wanted to meet boys?

7. While I don't hate the finalists, it would have been better if the Surfers didn't return before then.

8. Ryephanie is not terrible. I question some of Stephanie's actions though.

9. Josee is better than Jacques, but to be honest they're both amazing.
