Here are my rankings of the current episodes that have been released by AlphaBeta25, so I will not include Jimanji and Mad Merger Dash, but I will include the original post of The Good, the Bad, and the Richard. I will also add the overall ranking out of ten and my favorite and least favorite contestant in that episode.

14th: The Good, the Bad, and the Richard.

MVP - Richard, LVP - Thorin.

There was a reason I wanted to rewrite this episode, and that was mainly because it felt forced and rushed. Thorin and Karen were randomly thrown into a relationship, which was odd, as they never interacted before. Kierston was way too on edge, especially with Matt. Agatha was overly stupid with everything, it was just annoying. Only three questions were asked, which was sad. Also, Matt liked Karen, which was strange, and Thorin was so annoying after learning about Matt's thing for Karen. At least Richard called Chris out in the end.

3/10.

13th: Another One Bites the Dust.

MVP - Jim, LVP - Sarah.

This was very short, so there isn't much to talk about. This was the second episode where it just does the previous episode's challange in reverse. Sarah was a good pick for elimination, who pretty much floated to where she was. Jim Spice was pretty funny, with Daniel foiling Jim's plan.

4/10.

12th: To Be or Knot to Be.

MVP - Agatha, LVP - Thorin.

Thorin's plot in this was very forced and disappointing, but yet it wasn't the worst, as at least he became unique with his dramatically changing personality. Matt and Richard got to do something strategic and essentially set up a blindside. Agatha returning was nice. It took me two times of reading the episode to see that Lenny was eliminated, which was very odd. And my lord, is Kierston messed up. All in all, not the worst, but not the best.

5/10.

11th: Biggest Paint War EVER!!

MVP - Ken, LVP - Ben.

Ben and Lenny are the biggest problems with this episode. Lenny's personality is just being obsessed with Chris, which is very aggravating, and Ben begging be eliminated is just pathetic. On the bright side, this had some nice development and the challenge was great. Also, the strongest episode for Matt and Thorin's rivalry.

6/10.

10th: Sinister Shadows.

MVP - Jim, LVP - Thteven.

Carmen being eliminated was even more perplexing than Joel, as she had five episodes opposed to Joel's two. There was no development before the challenge, and is the first of two episodes to literally just be carbon-copies of the previous episode except in reverse. Andrew's cameo was pretty cool. Jim once again shows that he is an amazing character.

6.5/10.

9th: Sticks and Stone Will Break My Bones.

MVP - Toronto, LVP - Khione.

While better on development, many characters are still chained to their basic stereotype (ex: Lorelei is the Weaver, so she only talks about weaving.) The elimination came out of left field, as Joel didn't do anything, or even speak and he was eliminated.

6.5/10.

8th: The Early Nerd Gets the Worm.

MVP - Jim, LVP - Lenny.

Easily the strongest episode for Ben. Thorin once again seems confined to his stereotype, only serving to be quick and get stuff. The Lorelei and Jim plot blossoming was nice to see. Challenge was very rushed and was over in a few lines.

6.5/10.

7th: This is My Team, Right?!

MVP - Jim, LVP - Andrew.

This was a strong first episode, but compared to others it doesn't exactly hold up, as very few contestants got over 1 line, and over half the cast didn't talk. No blame though, it's pretty tough to develop that many characters in that single episode.

7/10.

6th: Chills, Thrills, and Automobiles.

MVP - Daniel, LVP - Lenny.

Glad to see some strategy, with Thorin, Toronto, and Karen showing that they're smart contestants. Ken finally got a friend, and lost both him and his worst enemy in one episode. Daniel finally is separated from David in personality. A second pre-merge double elimination is a bit too much, but I don't mind in the long run. Abbey going was bitter-sweet, as she was great but isn't tying down Ken anymore. Short but sweet challenge.

7.5/10.

5th: Lucky Number 9, or was it 7?!

MVP - Lorelei, LVP - Daniel.

Ugh. Daniel. He was really forced to be hated, which made me hate him so much in that episode. But aside from Daniel, I didn't have a problem with this episode. Everything was pretty strong. Shadow Bay was a nice welcome, and the Kierston and Lorelei rivalry was amazing. Kierston winning immunity proved that she wasn't too a fodder after all.

8/10.

4th: No Cuts and Coconuts.

MVP - Jim, LVP - Sarah.

Abbey finding both of the idols was a little ridiculous, but there were nice plots being formed with Abbey and Jim, Zack and Abbey, Toronto and Kierston, and others, while being mild, they were nice to see. Also, it was really fresh to see the foreshadowed main villain being dethroned so quickly.

8/10.

3rd: Saving Private Daniel.

MVP - Toronto, LVP - Matt.

Amazing plots being formed, and although I didn't like the whole Michael thing which was later changed, I thought the challenge was amazing, and I enjoyed everyone except for Matt. Matt just abruptly freaked out and then he just got eliminated. It was all very strange. The Crocs losing for the third time was stupid, but I think that Matt was rightfully eliminated. I loved this episode.

8.5/10.

2nd: A Splash of Jim.

MVP - Ken/Lorelei, LVP - Thorin.

Oh boy, was this episode hilarious. I couldn't help but laughing when Thorin attacked Toronto and then acts all forgiving in the span of like, four lines. Thorin was a hot mess, which was hilarious but bad at the same time. Karen being dumped by Thorin and being dropped by Toronto will hopefully expand her character beyond the two. This was the perfect time to eliminate Agatha.

9/10.

1st: The Goriest Forest.

MVP - Thorin, LVP - Agatha.

The Goriest Forest is an example of true perfection. The amount of detail is astounding, and I can't help but rereading it every once in a while. The opening was fantastic, with Lorelei attempting to break into the major Three-Man alliance. Ken and Kierston are once again an amazing pairing, with a cool plot with Jim in the midst of them. Thorin being isolated from his sole friends was nice, especially to be put with Agatha. The challenge was really great, the idol was awesome, and the plots developed were grand. If every episode was this great, it would easily be the best OC season ever.

10/10.
