Thought of some more:

Similar to what Sinjoh said about TDA, I think TDRR would've been better being condensed down to anywhere between 17 or 19 episodes and cutting at least six of the teams.

There should've been more TD characters in RR considering that a lot of the teams/characters were just less interesting rehashes (Mother & Daughter/Stepbrothers = Amy & Samey, Vegans = Dawn, Carrie = Bridgette, Haters = Duncney, etc.)

Unless they actually do plan on fixing their characters, Gwen & Courtney should just be retired as they currently are to avoid risking anymore damage.

MacArthur always struck me as a poor-man's Jo who was even less interesting and unlikable.

Anne Maria wasn't a very interesting character. Besides her role in the kinda/sorta/not really triangle plus the jokes to her hair, there wasn't much to her character and she wasn't very funny.

In spite of them being my favorite team, Goths should've left sooner than they did. They were the only reason why I was still watching by the end of their run, and it honestly wasn't even worth having them around for that long when compared to what was annoying me about the show by that point.

In retrospect, I would've preferred that Noah & Geoff had stayed forgotten rather than watching them turn into total hallow shells of what they once were.

Stephanie is the worst character in the entire TD franchise. Speaking of which, Ryan was just as badly written as she was due to how he'd purposefully fan the flames of their already unstable relationship and further add to how insufferable the Haters were.

Zoey still has a chance... But she needs to separated from Mike.

I feel the show probably would've been better being either a one-off or having a new cast every season (like Survivor).

Jashawn was a badly written couple which weakened Jasmine's appeal as a character.

Speaking of Shawn, I didn't buy his guilt at the end of the finale. It fell flat in how it was like they were desperate to not make both finalists totally unlikable. The resolve of his guilt also doesn't make sense in Sky's ending where he doesn't even have the money.

The Geniuses were more interesting than any of the teams in the Final 5. Their elimination was also on-par with Best Friends & Sisters in terms of how sloppily written and non-sensical it was.

Surfers still wouldn't have been good finalists even if the only thing that was different was that they weren't eliminated only to return later. They also should've left well before the halfway point of the season.

Terry McGurrin is a worse writer than Ed MacDonald ever was. At least the latter's not writing on the show anymore.

Even if Best Friends vs. Sisters would've been a boring Final 2, it still would've been better than the actual Final 2 that we got. At the very least, I would've had a team to root for.
