Not saying I agree completely, because out of the five seasons, I rate it 3th ahead of Action and RotI (I dont remember season 2 at all) only because of how rushed a lot of the plots were. I blame this on how small the cast was, sure its "All-Stars" so why werent all the finalists at least guaranteed a spot, eg Owen and Beth.

The finale was definetly the best in a while, but back to being rushed, the climax of the Mike/Mal battle was... anticlimactic and the alliances/rivalries were bouncing of the walls and interchanging literally every episode

The elimination ceremonies were lame, some of the challenges were just bad, and I do sense a little favoritism from the producers toward Zoey, given she won just about every challenge in the later stages of both seasons. Otherwise, I certainly enjoyed this season to some extent.
