Oh you meant every season rather than every episode. That's doable.

TDRR was probably the most fun to watch due to its pacing, the groups work well overall, and it remains interesting with a boatload of solid characters. It gets a slight boost because I might enjoy that format more than the show's standard format because it can arguably get more intense and avoid obvious eliminations.

TDI has a unique feel compared to the other seasons in that it feels as much like an experience for everyone involved as a competition. While it can be a bit inconsistent, there are no agendas to push and every episode offers different aspects that make it enjoyable (probably since it was supposed to be a standalone). No other season comes close to the variety it offers, though there are more humorous ones.

TDA gets off to a slow start due to the overdose of Trent+Gwen and at times I wish there were more characters but it's otherwise a great season with some very enjoyable challenges, humor, and interactions. The middle portion of the season in particular is about as good as the series gets.

I've already said what the biggest thing holding TDWT back was but before that, and even during that, it's a very suspenseful season that also features enjoyable challenges and characters, with it once again being pretty hilarious at times. It's a net positive for sure.

TDPI is a perfectly fine, somewhat fun, and short season with an somewhat weird cast that is more or less lodged into fifth as long as there are 7 seasons. Its highs aren't that high and its lows aren't very low.

TDRoTI is mediocre largely due to its setting and tone, which really remove all sense of realism and can make it a bit mean-spirited. The cast isn't great, but they might do the best with what is given to them, and even the best cast wouldn't have made this one of the better seasons.

TDAS doesn't really need an explanation, but I think there are certain things it improved upon from TDRoTI, so it's not last by much. However, there's too much focus on middling characters or interactions and too many bad episodes for it to avoid being last.
