This is great, I agree with a lot of your criticisms and complaints as well as the praises.

LARPers, Tennis Rivals and Vegans really had nowhere else to go storywise IMO, so their fodder placement was fine. The Geniuses did have some potential but it guess the writer's had no plans for them, I found them bland on their short time so I'm personally okay with it.

I too don't understand the infactuation with Jen and Taylor, they were ok for me, not horrible and not great.

I've said it before and I'll say it again, Kelly and Taylor left a bad taste in my mouth...like one of those awful reality show families (which is probably what they were going for), although I didn't like them and found their story very predictable the build up to the family breakdown in Hawaii/Dubai was alright.

Totally agree on Adversity Twins, you can tell with Jay and Mickey's speech at the end that they really did overcome and obstacle and in a sense "won" their own game.

Stepbrothers were awful, I need more than mindless slapstick. Yep, Rockers were forgettable.

Agree on Father and Son, one of the best dynamics of the season along with Kitty and Emma and MacArthur and Sanders as well as two of the best FOILS, the team offered something heartwarming that I felt none of the other teams brought to the game.

I share the sentiment that maybe Owen and Noah were a little underwhelming, I wanted more interactions similar to what was seen in I See London (I don't care how many people hate this episode, the character reactions are golden), Owen did save the team but I disagree about Noah. Yes, Noah was less scartastic and entertaining than in previous seasons (even before Emma) but I feel his overall reaction to falling in love was very realistic and true to the type of character he is, the fact that a girl could make him lose it serious, smart nature and focus is kind of ironic in a way and I enjoyed that to an extent.
